Abstract

ng. It’s a fine line you have to walk when deciding to get into relationships; whether it’s friendships or romantic.</p><p id="9127">Mental health issues are physically, emotionally, and mentally draining. And sometimes they can take their toll on those you love. Sometimes we lash out. Sometimes we isolate. Sometimes we self-harm. Not everyone can handle a relationship with someone with mental health issues . . . and even if then can handle it, not everyone wants to. We’re more than a handful.</p><p id="930d">My advice is, not that you asked, but I’m going to give it anyway, always be upfront. Always be honest. Don’t assume what anyone else is willing to or wanting to deal with. Communicate with them and let them make the decision. And go from there. Either it will work out or it wont. It sounds cliche because it is.

That’s kind of what all relationships boil down to: either it works or it doesn't. But in my opinion, I’d rather start my relationship off with honesty. I want you to like me for ME! I’m not good at lying and I don’t like to be fake.</p><p id="1adc">*********** END THE MENTAL HEALTH STIGMA ************</p><div id="265f" class="link-block"> <a href="https://readmedium.com/silence-6e856166c596"> <div> <div> <h2>Silence</h2> <div><h3>A Haiku collection</h3></div> <div><p>medium.com</p></div> </div> <div> <div style="background-image: url(https://miro.readmedium.com/v2/resize:fit:320/0*pUMrvYi_wkxSx2uB)"></div> </div> </div> </a> </div></article></body>

A poem

Take me as I am broken, beaten, and unsure

But always capable of rising once more!

Relationships are difficult. Relationships, when you have mental health issues, can seem impossible. You don’t want to bring someone else into your dark dungeon of misery. You also don’t want to just tell people your whole life story from day one, not knowing if they’ll brother staying. It’s a fine line you have to walk when deciding to get into relationships; whether it’s friendships or romantic.

Mental health issues are physically, emotionally, and mentally draining. And sometimes they can take their toll on those you love. Sometimes we lash out. Sometimes we isolate. Sometimes we self-harm. Not everyone can handle a relationship with someone with mental health issues . . . and even if then can handle it, not everyone wants to. We’re more than a handful.

My advice is, not that you asked, but I’m going to give it anyway, always be upfront. Always be honest. Don’t assume what anyone else is willing to or wanting to deal with. Communicate with them and let them make the decision. And go from there. Either it will work out or it wont. It sounds cliche because it is. That’s kind of what all relationships boil down to: either it works or it doesn't. But in my opinion, I’d rather start my relationship off with honesty. I want you to like me for ME! I’m not good at lying and I don’t like to be fake.
