Heres a quick fact

From my observations A quite big percentage of people with no mental illness seem to be sexually atracted to people who have mental illness.

Why? I am not sure. Maybe its the robotic walk, maybe the honesty, maybe the loyalty, maybe the vulnerability.

It might be the vulnerability. When were vulnerable we give the other person most of the power, its relationships dynamics.

When a person feels powerfull, they want to keep that feeling, they want to use it, they want more, and sex drive comes naturally when you feel powerfull

Its just a thought, dont take it for a fact but like an invitation to discussion

It’s the drooling from medication. A very attractive trait. Definitely the drooling.

I can see your point. I think what starts out as having an empathetic heart towards someone who is fragile, can turn into an unhealthy power Dynamic without anyone realizing it

Not me man, my lady has to have a straight head so she can push me around in my wheelchair after I lose my mind again in old age.

I leave that out of the dating profile though haha

Nah, I think the large majority of the population has some sort of mental illness. Most just don’t get diagnosed. Like, in the US, 18% of the population is diagnosed with an anxiety disorder.

I don’t think this is a fact at all. There are a lot of undiagnosed people running around pretending to be normal. Generally speaking, anxious people partner up with dismissive people. Both of these are unhealthy attachment styles.

However, MI pairings are often unstable. So perhaps what you are seeing is the relationships that lasted were the ones with at least one secure attachment?

Maybe they are going on the hope you recover, in search of someone strong. And by starting the relationship before your full recovery they give at the very least the illusion that they do really care. Doesn’t have to be a bad thing. Of course if they tried to start the relationship after your full recovery they’d get questioned why they held back when you needed them the most.

That’s interesting. My experience has been totally different. Most men didn’t want to continue dating me once I told them I have schizophrenia (I also refused to have children, which was another turn off to many men). And also, if I did find one who was okay with it, getting “approved” by the man’s family, was close to impossible. :thinking: I’ve heard of the fix-up types. The ones who love to “repair” other people. But I never ran into one those.
