Would you date someone with an anxiety disorder?

I've dated someone with anxiety disorder before. It wasn't a big problem until she had attacks and I just had to be super supportive of her. She told me it helped a lot but I'm not sure if me personally or my voice was enough to help out. either way or we broke up because of irrelevant reasons to her disorder but are still friends. Not sure if you'll feel that the same way she did (having a really strong support system) would help the dating thing.

sure, I've done it before and helped her get over it (social anxiety), which is ironic cause I hate being around tonnes of people I don't know for extended periods of time... But yeah, if I like someone; I'd stick with them no matter what (unless they were a murderer or something, I don't like being murdered)

i've got terrible anxiety problems and I often wonder if anyone will put up with me, I don't know, it's a lonely world where only anti anxiety happy pills are your best friend.

i have some anxiety problems and my boyfriend helps me alot. he's always there for me. if you truly love the person, you wont let something like this get in the way

I have anxiety. I have the amazing ability to help calm people down, though due to my continuous over thinking, I can't do it for myself. So, no, I wouldn't mind at all.

As someone with anxiety, I try not to inconvenience others with my own problems. Even so, sometimes the first couple of dates with a new person is enough to make me anxious. To avoid this I'll try to set up dates in places I'm comfortable in. I also have medication to help me if it gets bad. ^^ I'd certainly consider dating someone else with anxiety, as I know how to deal with it and could possibly help them. It can be hard when that person starts to rely on you too much, though. Don't be afraid to suggest they get professional help for themselves if their problem becomes severe. Their own mental health is not your responsibility!

It wouldn't be something I'd go into lightly. Depending on that particular person and how severe the anxiety is, it might not be something that I'm prepared to handle, no matter how much I liked them. So yeah, not an automatic deal-breaker per say but definitely something that needs to be considered.

Well i can be very supportive.. And Ive dealt with some stuff myself so.. I don't think it would matter. We could probably support each other. but perhaps it depends on the severity.. I wouldn't want to go into a harmful relationship either.. But i would definitely consider it and get to know the person better and stuff
