My friend during a conversation with another person about a crazy girl stated: "You can't reason with a crazy person." It's no point trying to rationalize why a crazy person/mentally ill acts crazy. Do you agree or disagree?


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.

I caught this on TV a couple of weeks ago and I remember this scene. I don't have any of those mental health issues but I'd certainly react like this.

I guess you don't date many women then.

I have mental health issues and couldn't care less what men think about them, which is not very much by the number of times they like to make threads about this topic ..... They can sit on their thrones (in the bathroom) and think they are free of any troubles. 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.

My girlfriend's husband was diagnosed with bi-polar a few years after they married. She spent five years trying to help him get it together, but he couldn't. He refused to take his meds, he would not work, and he threatened harm frequently (to himself and those around him). For her sanity and their kids she had him move back in with his parents (late 30s) and they divorced. Very sad. She was heart broken.

Considering the content of the post immediately following this statement, it's pretty obvious some people just never get it.

Don't get what exactly? The OP telling people to 'run away as far as they can from certain types' as if people aren't smart enough to make those kinds of decisions on their own in the first place? Please.
