I have a relatively long history of being attracted to and attracting crazy girls. I'm talking about girls with diagnosed mental/emotional health issues like severe depression, bipolar, anxiety, PTSD (there was one girl that I suspect may have even had a personality disorder). In the past, I've found these kinds of women incredibly attractive on a visceral level. It's only recently that I've consciously tried to spot red flags and avoid them.

I want to know a few things: what is it that attracts me to these kinds of women; and, what is it that attracts them to me? Also, what can I do to change this situation for the better?
