Today, I overcame my lack of social confidence and got a date for the first time in 10 or so years. After a while, my date admitted that she's a schizophrenic with dissociative identity disorder. I guess it's back to being single. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a date with a man who works as a psychiatrist. He diagnosed me with borderline personality disorder during dinner. FML
Today, after spending 4 years without dating after an abusive relationship, and going out with who I thought was a decent guy for 6 months, I told him I have bipolar disorder and take medication for it. He responded by dumping me saying he can’t date someone who’s “crazy.” Back to putting my wall up I go. 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 met someone really cool and their departing words were, for some odd reason, "We should totally be friends, I mean unless you're schizophrenic or something, haha!" I have schizophrenia. FML
Today, I was set up on my first blind date since my divorce. My expectations were low, but when she showed up, she was a smoking hot. She was way out of my league, she was delightful and kind throughout the date, but my low confidence shined through. That night she acquired an expensive dinner and a stalker. Me. FML
Today, it was supposed to be my first date with a girl I've been speaking to for three months. Last night, she revealed that she's still married, that her husband is "not so bad", and then confessed it all to him and blocked me. It was gonna be my first date in six years, after the last one stalked me across the country. FML
Today, during my first date with a girl I've liked for awhile, she tells me about some minor disabilities she was born with. Wanting to be honest with her too, I tell her I'm slightly autistic. Her response was, "I'm sorry this isn't going to work. I can't date a retard." I had to eat alone after that. FML
Today, I saw a psychiatrist for the first time. After telling her everything I'm going through, she looked at me and said "You know… every five years or so I get a case completely beyond my ability to help." I guess it's been five years. FML
Today, I went on a blind date. Sadly, I wasn't blind enough. FML
Today, I got a date after being alone for the past 2 years. The girl who my friends set me up with began asking my monthly income, my current occupation, and asked if I have a credit card account. FML

From someone who has extreme panic attack disorder, OCD and crippling depression, this intensifies my worry that I'll be alone forever. I feel sorry for her, to be honest. That was probably really hard for her to do.

Because obviously we should immediately discount the possibility of dating anyone with a mental illness, right? Or should she have just lied to you about it for a while first? It was probably incredibly difficult for her to be upfront about having such a stigmatized medical condition. If you choose not to get involved thats your prerogative, but I hope you handled it tactfully at least. If you think it's hard for you to get a date, imagine how she must feel.

So, if you like her you should be able to look past the fact that she has those. I know from experience that you can over look that

With that attitude, you deserve worse than the date. She has severe issues, and you are being selfish. Gods help you if you ever have to deal with life.

As someone with did its hard tt to open up to someone and if she did it meant she trusted you in some form.

Yes your single but you overcame a lot. Every time you make yourself do things out of the comfort zone it gets easier. If anyone tells you that its easy putting yourself out there dating, they lie. It's hard. Don't give up and keep trying. Congrats on taking that first and hardest step.

You're an asshole. Mental disorders don't make someone a bad person or undateable. This taboo needs to end.

How does OP deserve it? Since when just because someone has some sort of disease are you obligated to date them?

Of course he's not obligated to date her. What makes him an asshole is complaining about how her mental illness is such an imposition on him.

Date her! Don't judge her for an illness she can't control!

Wow. That was really rude of you.

There's nothing wrong with dating a schizophrenic. To be honest people with those types of disorders (although it can be difficult at times) make you feel extremely loved and wanted.

Wow. You are a jerk. I hope you are single for another ten years.
