#Schizophrenia recovery success stories free#
Feel free to post, discuss, or just lurk. I also read that if you do decide to be in a relationship with a schizophrenic, you shouldn't put too much of yourself into it, because the schizo person probably isn't capable of giving you as much as you give them (emotionally, I assume).Welcome! This is a community meant for a discussion of Schizophrenia and schizophrenia related issues (including psychotic symptoms in general, Schizoid, Schizotypal, and Paranoid Personality Disorders). She says that this only happens when she feels like someone is attacking her or threatening her, but I think that after everything that has happened, next time she has an episode she very well may feel like I'm threatening her in a way.ĭoes this sound to you like any of it could be related to the schizophrenia? And how exactly did you get to the point of being recovered, so that I can possibly help her overcome it? Do you have any advice regarding being in a relationship with an "active" schizophrenic?Įdit: An additional question: Once I found out about the schizophrenia I read up on it, and there was a lot about how you can't expect a schizophrenic to do too much, I guess like it's overwhelming for them. My ex told me that she used to hear voices telling her to hurt people, and that she's tried to hurt people on various occasions. Part of this is due to my own instincts as a parent, but some things that I've read also contribute to the feeling - like that if a schizo acts violent while in their psychosis, they almost always will continue to be violent in future psychotic episodes. I really liked the person I first met, but with everything that's happened between us that's related to her illness (and there's a lot more than what I told you), I don't know if it would be the right thing for my daughter to continue in a relationship with her. For now I'm being friendly with her, but once she actually drops the charges I'm not sure what to do. In the last few days I've begun to respond to her repeated attempts at contacting me, and she's agreed to call the cops on Monday and drop the charges against me, since she now realizes the trouble it's putting me through (I've had to hire an attorney and miss school, and if she were to continue with the accusation and win, social services could take my child away from me). I think she probably did it in part because she was pissed at me about unrelated things, but I know that she also is a compulsive liar and ends up believing her own lies after a while. We broke up a month ago (we only dated for about a month), and when we did, she called the cops and falsely accused me of stealing her Xanax when I left. I didn't know she was abusing the Xanax either, because since I don't know much about schizophrenia and epilepsy (she has both), I thought maybe her sleeping all day was attributed to one or both of those. She also is addicted hardcore to Xanax, among other things. I didn't find out about it until one night we were putting my daughter down to sleep and she started hallucinating and freaking out and wanted to bring my daughter into the street and trade her for another baby. She didn't tell me she had schizophrenia, much less that she wasn't taking her medication. I met this chick and we started dating and eventually moved in together. I'm dealing with someone with schizophrenia for the first time and have no idea what to make of it. Wow, I'm really glad I stumbled across this.
