Can you date when your mom is insane?

So here I am again. Yesterday was horrific. Well no, not horrific just intense.

I spoke with the City social workers who interviewed my mom and they aid that she was probably bi-polar AND paranoid and possibly schizophrenic. It's too soon for a real diagnosis. When I got off the call I was really upset. They told me that this is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Also, in order for her to take advantage of the free housing that he knows of she has to be homeless and she isn't...because of me. It's so upsetting.

I spent a couple hours at my desk freaking out, and I decided that my time would be better spent finding help for me. I need a therapist. Also, I'm terrified that I'm bi-polar. I'm also nervous that this stress will cause me to lose my job. I called around and found a support group for kids with parents like mine. I also got referrals that I'll call on Monday.

This has been such a whirlwind week. It's been kind of awful actually.

my question here is, do I have any right to date anyone while I'm going through this? I need support. I don't have any extra energy to spend wondering if someone cares about me. I don't know if my boyfriend is string enough to get through this with me, and I feel guilty asking him too. The thought of losing him fills me with a physical pain that's kind of amazing to me. I didn't think something that seems as superficial as a breakup could feel so deadly. That being said, I can't force him to be supportive, especially when I realize I need a lot of support right now.

His complaint about our relationship is that we have a compatibility issue and we have trouble talking. Personally I think this is due to the fact that I have nothing light to chat about right now. It's hard for me to talk to anyone. I would have talked to him about it if I thought he cared at all, but I just don't. When I brought this up, I think he disagreed with me, and that made me feel awful.

I have no idea how to interact with people right now, but I don't want to lose him.
