Having mental health issues is like living a nightmare but being in a relationship at the same as going through these problems can be toxic. The well person in the relationship too has to deal with there partners illness, with the feeling of treading on egg shells around the ill partner. Being with someone that is often down and snaps over little things, can be very draining and can make a relationship near impossible.
The only real possible success in these situations are with those relationships with real love but what if both people in the relationship have mental health issues, is it really possible to carry on? Its quite a monumental task for a relationship in those conditions to succeed but it all depends on the conditions of both people and other surrounding matters like money, work, children etc.
I believe personally any relationship with mental health issues can be successful but the people with the mental health conditions needs to accept their problems and outside help. When the mentally ill person is in denial and is not trying everything there is to help them, the relationship is often doomed. It also doesn't help when many people just leave when times get tough, this is when relationships really show if there was real love or not. Of course sometimes enough is enough but if everything that could be done to help is being done there is no reason for a relationship to fail.
If you are currently struggling with mental illness, in a relationship and worried you could lose your partner due to it, then just try to do your best. Get help, see what is going wrong and try to find possible solutions to all these issues, if you do everything you can, then at least you know you couldn't have done better. If they leave anyway, then they were never deserving of your love and you can do better.
