It was bizarre but I actually met my husband while I was in the psych ward. I had been there for a couple of weeks and my friend came to visit me. For some reason she brought a complete stranger with her, which I thought was awkward. But as we talked, he turned out to be really cool and it was a fun time. I didn't see him again until maybe a month later when I finally got released. We started talking online and then he came up to visit me at home and then it just went from there.

But my experience is unique. I am lucky to have found someone who wasn't scared off my mental illness.
