Today, I also needed to add, "Does not currently live in a psychiatric hospital, after being declared 'Not criminally responsible for a crime'" to my list of qualities that I want in a man. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I had a date with a man who works as a psychiatrist. He diagnosed me with borderline personality disorder during dinner. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend thinks I'm too high maintenance because I have a chronic illness which requires frequent hospitalization. FML
Today, my psychiatrist diagnosed me with a personality disorder. So now I have no friends, no job, no love, but I've got a personality disorder. FML
Today, I decided to try something new and sign up for an online dating service, since I can't meet a decent guy in person. The first guy I talked to told me he used to be in a mental hospital for obsessing over a girl, then told me he would be dreaming of me that night. FML
Today, I was trying to make a good impression with my fiancé's friends. After a few hours, I thought all was going well. As I walked to the washroom, I heard, "So what disability does she have? No one can be like that without something wrong in their brain." FML
Today, the guy I was dating told me he thought I was a good person. His reasoning? I'm not ugly enough to be a bad person, but I'm not pretty enough, either. FML
Today, my true crime addiction is so bad, when I read an FML about someone's dissociative personality disorder, I immediately thought they were lying and just preparing a good 'not guilty' defense because they planned to murder someone. FML
Today, I’m a good man, ready to settle down and build with a good woman, but no one wants to take a chance and build something with me because I'm temporarily living in a homeless shelter. That doesn’t make me unworthy or undeserving of love. FML
Today, I realized that although I'm dating the most loveable, caring and genuine man, the fact that he's a crack addict means I'll never be his drug of choice when he needs a hit. FML
Today, my boyfriend of three years who I helped through drug rehab and find employment in my office left me for someone else. His explanation was that now that his "head is not clouded with chemicals" and he "makes decent money", he wants to settle down with someone worthy of him. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Waiting for someone to chime in with "You don't know the circumstances give him a chance!". Lots of people would benefit from a second chance, however it's up to the person if they are willing to invite that risk into their lives. Not everyone admitted to a psych ward or jail is there cause they did something horrific, but you gotta weigh the risks involved in cases like this you can judge it's to keep you safe.

This guy committed a crime is in a psych hospital because he was found not guilty by reason of insanity. Granted, the crime may not be chopping his whole family into pieces, but does it really matter? I'd say this is a pretty legit reason to not date someone.

Ill people also need love... I was in a psychic hospital while dating my boyfriend and we were a happy couple nontheless. Of course it's up to everyone to decide if they can cope with dating somebody with a mental illness and also depends on the form and severity of the disease, but just because somebody is in a psychic hospital doesn't make them a worse person or less-deserving of love.

I'm glad that worked out for you. a news story in AZ right now is about two former people who mental in a mental hospital. They got married I believe. Long story short, the husband decapitated the woman and mutilated her 2 dogs. He then chopped his one arm off and gauged his own eye out. I am glad yours worked out better though...

16- I'd say it also depends on the severity of the crime he's committed. He's not just in there because he's ill, but also because he's committed a crime.

Sorry, was half asleep while commenting. Of course I mean psychiatric! And I must've gotten the FML wrong, I thought OP was talking about two men. I did not commit a crime that got me there, just Depression and such stuff. Sorry for the confusion!

At least you found out early

Being declared "not guilty by reason of insanity" is not the same as innocent.
