Yeah I used to date crazy. I have been down that road. Trust me ... I know crazy. Crazy tried to kill me. Crazy is passionate. Crazy is addictive. Crazy is good in bed. Yeah you don't know what crazy is all about until you've actually had crazy and lived to tell the story.

This is an excellent point.

I found out that my ex told a mutual friend of ours that I was 'crazy and clingy' because I brought him some cookies at lunch as a congratulations for getting a promotion. This was after nearly 3 years together and 2 years living together... yes, I was 'crazy' for wanting to do something nice for my boyfriend, my bad.

For me, I would rather avoid any person with mental health issues like BPD, bipolar, anxiety, depression, etc. If you choose a partner with one of those issues, you are including more unnecessary stress into your life. That's why its better to run as fast as you can as soon as you see those issues.
You are totally correct.

For example, I would never try to reason with someone who characterizes all people with the above disorders as "crazy," because that characterization is crazy.

(Not to mention ill-informed and woefully uneducated)

"Crazy" is subjective and individualized. Some people called crazy are merely eccentric and a lot of fun to be with. I've been with bat-**** crazy and won't ever do it again. Too many nights of staying awake all night because she was threatening to hurt herself, too many nights of locking the knives up or stopping her from hitting her head against the wall or listening to her saying she wants to die. Been there done that, you can't reason with that and I won't ever be there again.

OH!! Edited to say that I recently found out what I always thought, what I was told was an accidental overdose on pain meds brought on by improper first-pass metabolism due to chronic neuromuscular disease, was actually a suicide attempt.

Yeah...I've been a passenger on the crazy train, never again.

That's true, but not everyone with bi-polar, depression, etc. exhibits those types of behaviors and those disorders can be managed with medication and therapy.

Not that I really care. The OP doesn't have to date anyone he doesn't want to. It just shows a lack of information when he characterizes people in that way.

If crazy is irrational and unpredictable in a bad way, or exhibits unacceptable behavior on a regular basis; yeah, I'd say stay away.

If they have some sort of treatable manageable mental illness, then proceed with caution.

Unfortunately, both "craziness" and legitimate mental illness are usually not that apparent when you first start dating. No one is free of quirks, but dealing with an unstable personality is a huge investment for any partner in life. Just be aware.

Ironically most of the ones that talk about these types, are no damn good themselves. good luck to the rest of these women out there in dealing with them and their massive egos. You're going to need it, that's for sure.
You don't say......

Well, if this rule was followed, this forum would have to shut down for lack of activity.
