My personal opinion is that IF it is because of "mental illness" you are better off without them because they know THEY don't have the ability to deal with it & your life would be miserable around someone who doesn't have the ability to deal with the issues they see. Not everyone has the capability to deal with someone who has mental illness any more than not everyone has the capability of dealing with certain personality types. For me, an extrovert would be impossible to be around much because I don't want to be on the go & social all the time....too exhausting to deal with as is dealing with someone whose life is defined by the mental illness they may have. See yourself as lucky they don't stick around & make your life miserable because if they struggle to deal with mental illness or personality, the conflict it causes isn't worth "having someone". You may find someone who is ok with it. Usually that will be someone who already knows you & has observed you & knows they are ok with dating you.
I left my now ex 16 years ago & haven't dated that whole time. I have no desire to date anyone & mess up the peaceful state I have finally achieved in my life. I would ONLY date someone I knew well if I ever were to relent on the idea of dating. I struggled in my 33 year marriage & that struggle caused me serious problems & I never want to go there again
