You've got some good feedback.

Just wanted to add that clinical depression and anxiety are not usually conditions that can be cured or recovered from. In my case, major depressive disorder is a chronic illness that I will have to manage my whole life with the help of therapy and peer support.

There are ups and downs, so you may have met her during a good period. But it can be a bit of a roller coaster, both for the person who has a mental illness and for loved ones. You might have to think about if that's something you are ready for.

Also, have you looked for any support for yourself? That National Alliance on Mental Illness (nami.org) has free support groups and classes specifically for the family and friends of the mentally ill. That might be something you would find helpful no matter what happens with this relationship.
