No.
I won't date anyone with health problems or taking daily medications.
That would end up being a complete mess. I have schizophrenia and find it hard enough to deal with my own **** not to mention someone else!

If a person I was dating developed some kind of personality disorder I'd try to make it work but I think it probably wouldn't.

Done it and it was awful, so I'd certainly think twice now
Nap, tried it, basic self preservation says no.

Yes.
As someone with a personality disorder, probably not, although personality disorder covers a really wide spectrum of difficulties so maybe it wouldn’t always be a disaster. Commitment to recovery and how much insight a potential partner had would also factor in to my decision.
I just wouldn’t be able to be with someone who was experiencing a lot symptoms because it would be too distressing and destabilising to me. There’s a weird contagion that can happen between people who have certain PDs

OP
but with a mild version of borderline personality disorder?
i have episodes about 4 times a year where i escape from home if my mum separates me from a dangerous relationship as i tend to choose the wrong people including friends.
i am getting better, off medication too
haven't been diagnosed but it's clear as i was abandoned from my dad at 4, i remember it... i have attachment issues
Done it before. Don't think I could do it again.

I have a very long list of dating dealbreakers and only date guys a minimum of 15 years older than me.

For me personally this would be a red flag. BPD causes dysfunction in every day life, it’s not just about episodes of crisis. Not understanding this implies a lower level of insight.

You are loveable and there is someone out there for you- I don’t want you coming away from this thread thinking that the things people say on the internet mean you are worthless.
no, that would drain me

Yeah, if things were going well then I wouldn't mind. If we never talked or we disliked eachother I guess probably not
I'm on medications so I'm not sure how it would be in the long run
