Some Thoughts on How Untreated Mental Illness (Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Mania) Messes with Love:
1. Mental Illness is pain and pain makes you seek pain relief above all, when in healthy relationships, you need to be able to seek love above all.
2. Mental Illness is internally pre-occupying, when in healthy relationships you need to not be self-absorbed.
3. Mental Illness distorts self-perception. Mental Illness distorts perception of others. In healthy relationships you need a fair perception of self and others.
4. Mental Illness interferes in one’s capacity for relaxation, which is necessary for healthy intimacy.
5. Mental Illness, in early childhood development, may interrupt a child’s ability to feel safe and loved.

I agree with all of that Lizzie. It's so true on every level and so many people miss these points because of mental illness, modeling behavior in their home and as you pointed out trauma. Love and relationships can be difficult enough when two people don't have any issues from their past, but when these things are thrown in then it can get ugly quickly, especially if there isn't any awareness or a healthy focus. The good news is all of these components can be worked on in a healthy relationship and I think the more we talk about these aspects the better off people will be. And now the shameless plug I have a chapter about this in my book as well!
ouch, that hits home
