Is it normal that i want a girlfriend who is mentally ill?

It normal to want to be with someone you can relate to. I'm different myself and most my friends have something different about them. People are drawn to similar traits so they can have something in common. If you are with someone who doesn't understand you at all it doesn't work as well.

So its a crazy bitch you want, eh. What up, grrrrrlllll.

I know it's not really the same thing, but my ex-boyfriend had depression and his constant refusal to even try to crawl out of his world of self-hatred was incredibly frustrating and ended with him pushing everyone away. I thought along the same lines as you, that I would be able to help him out of it, but if they don't even want to help them-self there's no point. So I see where you're coming from, that you want a relationship someone of a nature similar to you, but I voted not normal as I personally think dating some-body with depression is more pain than it's worth.

Been there "done" that, you don't want one.

This reminds me of a time when i was skinny.

I'm so fat now for eating all the pies etc.

Wanting someone mentally ill is NOT normal. Wanting someone to relate to, however (like in your case) is super normal. It's almost what drives relationships. Like attracts like, sister.

It is totally normal. It's pretty sweet of you wanting to help her. You're really going to be her shining armor, especially cause you have been there before. You can teach her a lot. I feel the same sometimes. Like, I'd rather hang out with people who are more "problematic" than others cause I really like helping them. And that's what you're doing. You want her to get over this phase like you have. And you wanna be there for her =) And how sweeter could this be?

It's totally normal + really sweet of you. God bless you, girl :) <3

Like me, only I'm male, not gay, and don't want a mentally ill person. I was born with purple eyes so I wanted a lady with strange eyes.

It's hard to find one who's not.

I'm depressed and I love the company of fellow depressed people because we can relate and aren't judgemental about each other's issues. I kinda dislike happy clapping confident positive sheeple.

You sound like a magnificent woman; it makes me wish that you were bisexual, haha. Despite 'normal' being a vague term nowadays, it strikes me emotionally to hear about someone who has unconditional positive regard towards others with such an encumbrance. As long as their mental illness isn't a detriment to your relationship with them, then I encourage you to find someone who is compatible.

I use to be like this. Its fascinating.

You seem nice for wanting to be morally supportive, so I think it's normal. I'm guessing you mean 'mentally ill' as in depressed or something of that sort, and not crazy. I'm depressed, mildly autistic and obsessive-compulsive, but I'm not a lesbian. Nothing against your lifestyle though.

You sound like me. I think this is somewhat normal, I've seen similar stories appear on here before.

Same but I'm not a lesbian or anything although I wouldn't mind experimenting anyway I get the knight in shining armour thing but I'm more of the moral support type
