one of my best friends in college had what you might call serious issues (i never got deets but completely-estranged-from-dad level) and she told me “if i waited until i was fine to date i’d never date”
she married one of my fraternity brothers and they have 3 kids now

it probably depends a lot. diff types of extreme issues have different levels of impact on ppl around you. If your extreme issue is beating others you probably shouldn't date, whereas if you go into shutdown freeze it's probably safer
Yep. My partner and I together make roughly one functioning human. But we’ve been together a while and are pretty happy, in part because our issues aren’t the kind where we seriously hurt people, we’re both working on being better, and we both have lots of patience/forgiveness.
