I work with the mentaly ill they are human,they bleed,they have needs,wants,desires,like all of us. That said if they took there meds,and delt with it as an adult why not date them if a connection has been made? We all have something wrong with us some hide it better from other & some hide it so well they forget who they are even to themself!!

Ok, not to be critical but if we are going to talk about (mental illness), lets get them right. Manic Depressive is " Bi Polar". What it means and implies is that the person can experience high high's and low low's. Now, the only way it is hard for a family member or any loved one for that matter to deal with this is because they are prejudiced and have issues of their own.
Living with or knowing someone who is Bi Polar is not the worst experience you will have in your life. Also, before making blanket statments please do your research. Bi Polar is a disease; not one the individual asked for by the way. A drug addict sought out drugs and injected or injested them. No one forced them and no one made them and they certainly were not born with it nor was it hereditary.
Yes some mental illnesses can be passed on to your children and it is something to think seriously about before you make that decision. There are many medications they have found that work quite well for Bi Polar and Schizophrenia.
Someday when you are on the computer.... google people with Bi Polar or Manic Depressive Illness; you will be surprised at the list of most geniuse and brightest minds in the world have or had the disease.
But, to the individual who did the actual post; there is nothing wrong with you, you have an illness and if you take care of yourself and the illness there should be few issues. I would wait until you have been seriously dating someone for a few months; at this point they know how they feel about you and will not be looking at your illness instead.

Good Luck

yes you can come visit.
what would you like to do?

peekaboo, lol

I imagine everyone feels this way at some point in life, but consider this, the best smelling roses grow in s.h.i.t.

I'm not in your area... if I were I'd go to a movie with ya. I have absolutely no life where I am except for my children and my work. That's it!

I'd really like to know where the whole color vs no color came from. I dream in color too, and every single person I know dreams in color. I know we aren't all that special!

this guy sits up late at night watching reruns of ozzy and harriet while doing unthinkable things to himself with bottles of "squeeze cheese" then makes the rounds of the local elementary school playgrounds in his bert and ernie underware with bags of candy, then to even things out he in turn makes rounds at the local senior centers dressed in spandex shorts and tight t-shirts soliciting all the over 70 female crowd promising them 5 minutes they will never forget. then returns home to abuse his pet ostrich named stinky and finaly falls asleep in a puddle of jello pudding while listening to nat king cole records.
