loving ppl with mental disorder

would you be with anyone with a condition like schizophrenia

me myself I dont think id totally trust them and id be anxious about my safety...but maybe i could if i could have a piece under my pillow.

not to perpatuate stigma but I dont see taurus being in this situation for too long being a lover of personal peace n freedom.

The sane is usually not attracted to the insane, instinctively. But the other way around is common.

I think people with the same mental defects seem to gravitate towards each other, I've seen couples together like this. They sort of support each other, I think

Nope.

Nothing against them personally, but I just do not have the time or resources to deal with someone like that.

It also really depends on if they're getting properly treated for it and it was being managed. That'd be a different story.

Thats too much risk for a too much Taurus

"People unfortunate to be that way need the most love." I agree.

How do you think they would feel. If there partner was sleeping with a gun under the pillow.
How dejected, isolated and small do you think they would feel? Not to mention unwanted and used.

Yes, but you have to be real with yourself and know if you're capable of handling such an individual. They deserve love too, but from the right individual.

I don't know if I am qualified to answer this question ,but will share my bit . I had a group of kids that I used teach- maybe you can even call it mentoring- because we would talk about life and their challenges.And in my group there was this one kid who had a mental condition at first he would walk by past my house and the sit outside at stare at my house as I was busy with the other kids. He was a troubled soul non of the kids would play with him.he would kick things and try and hurt himself and people and all the children including adults where afraid of him.then one day as I was busy with the kids he came in my yard and all the children run to the backyard . he sat down on the lawn .i asked all the kids to come back as he would not harm them I don't how I knew this but instinctively I knew he would not harm them . all the kids came back to the front of the yard we carried on with what we were doing . and from then on he would come back every time when the kids where. as time went on all the kids got used to him he started behaving like a normal child, obviously He did not dance nor get the concept of what we were doing , but the most important thing to me was that he was playing. He was happy and he stopped hitting people and hurting himself. when I go back to my I see him and he is all grown up and must say a gentleman. yes he still mental but more carm you wouldn't even know if you saw him that he is not like other kids. he can communicate well not on a high level decent enough to ask him how he is doing. mental illness is a whole complex issue..

It definitely is which is why, again, people need to be honest with themselves in regard to handling such a thing. Your relationship will not be some mystical cure all for someone with whatever mental illness. Love and patience definitely are necessary and help, but you can't be that silly, naive person who thinks that your mere presence in your relationship will fix them or "save" them. If someone goes in thinking like this, they're selfish in their own outlook of the matter.
