I was diagnosed with a severe mental disease about a year ago. My boyfriend has put up with all of my paranoia, anger and odd things that I do. When i told him he should leave me because it wasn't fair to him, he said, "If i can't take you at your worst then i don't deserve you at your best." His unconditional love GMH.

This story really got to me, because I can relate to it.. But I have yet to find someone who can take me at my worst. You have an awesome guy. You're both lucky to have eachother.

I feel like I'm the same situation. My gf has a very serious disease, and she says I should forget about her, but that's just not me! I love her and that's all that I know.

I love that quote - Marilyn Monroe said it first (I think? Or maybe she copied it from someone else). My boyfriend is a lot like that...I was diagnosed with PTSD because I was raped as a child; I'm often paranoid, afraid of him hurting me, immature, and just generally insane. He is still there for me and loves me no matter what.

That is so nice of him.

I am in the exact same situation... I suffer from agoraphobia and panic disorder, which often means that my fiance has to restrict his life to help me when I have my episodes. I read this to him, and all he said was "I keep trying to tell you that, love". People like your boyfriend and my fiance give me so much hope.

Lucky girls and guys with supportive people like in Op's story. :)

That's true love just like Jesus' love, the unconditional love! I wish I would love like that If I met Miss Right!

I agree, Choi. This is a beautiful reminder of Christ's love for us. God has, does, and always will love every human unconditionally being despite the fact we are horrible sinners  @OP thank you for this, it made my day!! 

Whenever I'm having a bad day and lose my faith in everything, even true love, I go onto GMH and read these stories. I haven't found it yet, but maybe true love DOES exist! Thank you so much for posting this, because it made me cry tears of joy!

1 question: Where do you find guys like this? Good for you. :)

Many people have to say that for themselves to other people. It's special when other people say it for them. I'm glad you've found someone that does. Same goes for you, skybeau, and you, jadercore.

#10-Emma91- I so have the same question, where are they all at?? and to #11thats true, sometimes you are always saying words of encouragement to others or making them feel better, and its nice when they do the same to you â

I suffer a similar problem and am still waiting to meet the man who will be able to cope with me, this story GMH that he's out there somewhere. Thank you xx

enjoy your life together!! it's hard to find a person like that. I don't have a disease (not that I know of) but I'm a rather weird person and I hope someday I'll find someone who accepts me for who I am. :)

I absolutly love this post! sounds like you and all the other girls that left a comment about their boyfriends that are there for them in their time of need have some great guys!!

Same here! I have clinical depression and an anxiety disorder and some sort of personality disorder (won't be diagnosed yet for a few weeks) but my guy puts up with me. Its really hard and I always try to get him to leave me because I don't think I'm worth it. But he sticks with me constantly telling me he loves me more than I'll ever know. I'm beginning to believe it :) I'm glad that there are other guys out there like him! Men like him GMH.

I have had a panic disorder for two years now and I've been with my boyfriend for three. It was such a big change for me having to deal with all these newfound fears and anxieties that I told him to go away because it wasn't fair to him. Especially since he saw me change from someone relatively carefree to a girl who worries constantly about everything. He like many other of the wonderful guys already mentioned decided to stick it out and we're still happy together. So for #13 and anyone else out there, there are people who will care for you no matter what and those are the ones that GMH.

This happened to me too. I have bipolar disorder, was suicidal, am an addict, broke up with my girlfriend multiple times, and yet she she still agreed to marry me. As of today we've been happily married for over 16 months.

Awh this kinda gives me hope that I will find someone who doesn't just 'put up' with my need for re-assurance and acknowledgement and depressive episodes and any other lil bit of undiagnosed 'crazy' i feel I have and will just 'get it'/support me :-)

My girlfriend has a lot of paranoia and other mental problems (most of which she doesn't like to talk about and I've only been able to guess at from her behavior) and she's constantly expecting me to break up with her (paranoia) and saying that I can do better than her. I'm proposing this spring :)

My best friend has some psychological issues which often leads to very colourful arguments and falling-outs between us. Through the years I sometimes catch myself wondering why I put up with some of the stuff she's tossed at me and your post reminded me exactly why I do. You've given me hope.

my girlfriend suffers from depression and is manic/depressive. its been a very hard 3 years and in fact she has not spoken to me outside of internet messages + has not allowed me to see her in almost 4 months she says she loves me but i cant take it anymore even though i love her more than anything in the world
