Will I ever meet someone who can accept this diagnosis? I'm trying super hard to live a normal life. I take my meds, I've been deemed sane by my doctors. But honestly a relationship eludes me and has since my divorce 7 years ago, minus a few short stints.
I just wonder those with a diagnosis like this, do you tell, keep it secret? Do you have a significant other in your life? |

behold, you are not alone. i've been single since high school really. it's tough. i don't know why it is i don't get laid, or get into relationships but i think it has something do with whats inside us. for instance i'm living on the edge... of life. in a way that i don't have much faith... but the good news is we have hope. keep holding on. look up some inspirational quotes on endurance while you're at it. tough it out. don't chase, be you, do your thing all will be well. trust me

Don't give up. I found someone, and this was after being dumped by a partner of 4 years once I was diagnosed with bipolar. We've been together for a year now, and she accepts me for who I am, schizoaffective and all.

My girlfriend has Schizophrenia (I'm Schizoaffective) and it was just a coincidence that we both had a similar mental disorder. I love her more than anything and even through all of the episodes and behaviors, there wasn't a doubt in my mind that she wouldn't be right by my side when my sanity returned. I know a lot of people who are very accepting and understanding towards these types of disorders.
Don't give up. DevLan. |

I actually met my husband at a drop-in center for the mentally ill. But my symptoms and illness did keep me from having a relationship for a long time, my husband was my first boyfriend and I met him when I was 28 years old.

I understand exactly what you mean. I've been single for years and since I'm 39 years old with two kids I don't reAlly have much hope about finding someone. If I did could they accept my diagnosis and my oddities that come along with it. I would like to imagine one day having a husband and living happily ever after but I don't really think it will happen.
