So this is a question about relationships.
I've heard and read in a couple of different places that relationships typically don't work out if both people in it have a mental disorder or struggle with the same thing like addiction. So I was wondering if you hold this same sentiment, or if it changes depending on the situation. Would you date someone who suffers from the same issue or problem you suffer from?
Personally, I understand when it comes to addiction because I think relapses could possibly be more likely to occur if the couple is both addicted to the same substance. But when it comes to other problems I can maybe see it working out. For instance, my boyfriend and I both have anxiety and ADHD. We are at different levels and severity but it makes it so we relate on a lot of different things and are a bit more understanding towards certain things.
