PATREON EXCLUSIVE: Dating A Woman With Minor Mental Health Issues

During the pandemic I couldn't get my necessary B12 shots (I can't get it from food) and my check ups for a chronic illness (hormonal) so I developed neurological issues which caused depression, general anxiety disorder and terrible panic attacks. I get medication and go to therapy, also working out and sex helps a lot! I would advise the same: if your partner tries to solve the issue then you should help him/her. One of my exes didn't accept that he needs help and it was hell, I'm lucky I got out of that relationship fairly early.

I came out of a 30 year relationship with a woman with narciscissm. Don't think you can fix anything. Stay out.

The bad sides of this was my marriage. Was picked as a partner to help with her issues. After marriage, she stopped working on herself for here Anxiety Depression and eventually OCD. Refused to get help because it was her "personality". After 2 miscarriages she could not stop focussing on why I was not making her happy. Date maybe. Marry no. My 2 cents, RUN!

I 100% agree with Alex's advice. I was married to a woman who turned out to (very likely) have borderline personality disorder. Do not go there. Seriously. As for anxiety/depression, I don't have firsthand experience to speak from, but it seems if she's self-aware, totally open to help through counseling and medication, is diligent with doing everything she can to help herself with the problem, and does not direct her bad feelings outward toward you in the form of anger, blame, etc., then it need not be a dealbreaker for a relationship with her. I wouldn't want a girl rejecting me because she learns I've had a few episodes of depression in the past. I dealt with that problem well and continue to do so.

The last relationship I had was with a girl who had a borderline personality disorder and bipolarism. She coped with it well in the beginning but in the end I felt the fury of it and it was hell! Full of toxic abuse that made me start to question if I am a bad person and what I am asking for is really out of line. Made it seem like I was the abuser. Had I stood in it and kept fighting I probably would have become that. She dumped me and two weeks later had a one night stand with some dude who as far as I know she is still dating and I guess by this point he is probably feeling her fury by now as her mask slips. And who knows how he's coping with it because I have been on a journey of self-development for years to be a high quality dude and even I couldn't handle her shit so him, a much younger guy, doubt he's doing so hot. Anyway, his and her problem now. We haven't spoken since February and my life has been so much better, more peaceful, and more productive. Point being, don't stay for intense relationships like this gentlemen. Word to the wise. Know your worth or you will become toxified and become the next abuser who hurts a good woman.

Reminds me of a blind date. She'd overcome an eating disorder and seemed very motivated with good values, I mentioned one or two things I was working towards improving and her eyes just lit up... Definitely agree people can come together over shared struggles like this, so long as there's desire to improve. Love your work Alex!

Alex I’m thankful to you too, you produce amazing content! I really felt your last point about growth from adversity..I’m confident that nearly all of the wisdom and inner strength and peace in me now is a result of my past depression. I’m happy to hear you say it’s fine to be a solid work in progress, because I think we all are if we’re seeking to better ourselves. Thanks again

I hope your success continues to grow, your videos on here and on YouTube have been so invaluable. Keep up the good work!

Congratulations on your success, Alex. Glad to see you've got to the point where you can survive doing what you love.

Nah Kurt you made the right call man, not worth the risk, I firmed it and regretted it later

Niiccee ... it is a hard call. I know that I walked from that and maybe shouldn’t of. The thing about that situation is that normally it doesn’t go away and may morph with age or other hormone factors. I was too scared but like you said the rest was there and special .
