when i say non-medicated I mean people with mild schizophrenic tendencies, I should evaluate more but I'm not really sure how to explain myself on that one. I guess I'm just hoping you know what I mean.

I hope things work out with you on this one.

Oh. You mean like schizoid and schizotypal personality disorders? Yeah, that makes sense.

I hope it works out too, but I sort of feel like I shouldn't get my hopes up too much...Blah.

my basic and possibly hypocondriacal understanding
isthat theres a "theme" to said psychosis or possible outbreaks
anything you say or do can come across as a "coincidental confirmation or just piece of the puzzle perse
i think you should try o figure out his theme
i couldnt imagine having todeal with real tangible hallucinations tho
mine are vague and rare anymore that i stopped doin drugs

i dunno but basically any little tiny thing can come across as threatening ina way that it can be percieved as a kind of syncronistic coincidence
but talking about it can be shamefulor just embarassing cos itd never make sense to anyone on the outside
perse
but i just talkabout it sometimes to "ward off any possible effects
i dunno
im a hypocondriac tho and stupid

Hi my name is nick I'm a 39 year old man suffering schizophrenia for the past eight years iv had three relationships in this time and my current one is going the same way as all the others it is very hard for me to form a relationship with friends or romantic what i think is love and feelings that i think are related are false think its due to lack of emotion a compulsion to get distance i hope in the next few days i can post more on this in the hope it helps anyone both friends family and sufferers

my bf of 15.5 years is a paranoid schizophrenic. i don't want to simplify it, but this:

is the key

to be honest, dealing with his illness is pretty much the same as dealing with every other man i've been in a relationship with who didn't have diagnosed mental health problems - just different issues.

PM if you want to with questions and shit.

edit: been with bf for 15.5 years, he's not 15.5 years of age
