[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been diagnosed with (one a decade) bulimia, GAD, PPD and now anxiety.  I've been married 20 years and I'm grateful that DH married me, although I recall "coming out" to him about my bulimia when we were dating for a while.  He was and is very accepting and just wants me to feel better.

He is a saint.  I've not made it easy for him, either.  I'm having a very hard time now managing my anxiety, am on new meds, etc. and moments ago, DH just bear hugged me and told me we'd get through this together.  [/quote]
Oh yes. Same here exactly. 15 years. My DH is a saint too and our relationship is the definition of love that knows no bounds. By the way, he's had his own mental health struggles and I care for him as he cares for me. 
He knew before we married  about my depression and anxiety and said as long as I continue to try to be healthy, he'll continue to stick by me. 
It limits the dating pool significqntly  to have a rule of not being with someone with a mental illness. And you never know what kind of depressions and anxietys will manifest after you've already committted.
