I'm so fucking sick of people with mental illnesses making me feel bad for not wanting to date them.

I just got told I was a disgusting person for not wanting to date someone with a serious mental illness. That I am a terrible person for not wanting to be the caretaker for someone with serious mental health issues. I'm just so fucking sick of the amount of people whose first reaction to me not wanting to be a caretaker for them is to call me a terrible person. I want to vent about it but I don't know who to vent to without those people hearing.<br><br>Edit: I want to say first that I am truly sorry people have been told by their doctors they are not mentally ill when they are. I have tried to tell several doctors that I am not even depressed I just want to go on some medication to help me handle school. I have been told multiple times that I am just trying to get drugs and I must be clinically depressed considering I am asking for drugs. The only mental illness that doctors view as being a real issue is depression. I am so sorry that doctors have told you that your issues are not real.<br><br>I want to say I have previously gone on dates with people with issues such as clinical depression, adhd, and anxiety. I have no qualm with people with mental problems. The reason I do not want to date someone with something serious is because it is so hard to deal with. I have previously had a girlfriend with a serious mental illness. I know how hard it is. I have problems with not being a caretaker for someone with a serious mental illness not with being with them. I know how much it hurts to have someone leave you for their mental illness. I know how hard it is to push people away. But you will not be treated fairly if you just assume people do not want to be with you because of your mental illness.
