Was diagnosed with bipolar then schizophrenia then bipolar again. My issue is I just don't care for romantic love, I never cared for it before I was diagnosed and I don't care for it even more now that I am diagnosed with mental illness. Is my not caring about that kind of love a sure sign of mental illness and will it forever be there or will it change with time?

Do you have a therapist? I wonder if you could talk to them about it. Am afraid that I do not have the answer, but there may be people better to help you if you post this in the section for bipolar and may have similar experiences to share.
Hugs to you. |

Do you want to want romantic love? Or are you not sure?

Maybe it's not the illness, could just be the way your worldview is? Not sure. More of an explanation, could result in more in depth perspectives.
Some people, just feel jaded. Could that be, what is meant about not caring for romantic love? |

I don't think not wanting love has anything to do with being bipolar or having a mental illness. I want love, but I don't want it at the same time. Its because I'm jaded and I'm in love with someone who will never love me.
Its complicated. Love is just complicated

I do not know about schizophrenia, but I have been reading the bipolar forum for 1.5 years and most people very much want love.

i think you should talk to a therapist....
but i don't think its a sign of mental illness... maybe more of a trust thing? i think that some part of every human being wants to love and be loved. but sometimes, there are so many other things in the way that it gets buried. but being included and cared about is part of the human nature... maslow's theory...
