I think they can work only because I have seen cases where they have. But like CI said, "the other party has to have knowledge and understanding of the illness."

We are unfortunately not easy people to be with, so their true understanding can help make it work.

On the other hand, it's also trying to keep the mental illness in check/not letting it control you. Once it gets a grip on you, then you're not you and tons of things can go wrong. That's when it gets to a dangerous point and if the other person doesn't care enough then it won't work.
