so i've been researching as much as i can the last couple years and according to what the mayo clinic has and people on dailystrength and my friends and sister and online tests i have some form of schizophrenia. i just need a proper diagnosis. aka a new psychiatrist.
anyway. i'm also a recovering self injurer and i've always been one of the moodiest people i know i'm finally in a really great relationship with a patient and understanding guy. i love him so much and he helps me more than i can say and i appreciate it more than he'll ever know. cliche i know. anyways i'm terrified that my illnesses are going to screw this up. i don't want to hurt him. ever. but i'm paranoid. mainly due to my last boyfriend who liked to fuck with my mind. so can i get any advice from those of you who are in relationships? do I just trust him and lean on him like he offers? or do I hide things and distance myself to protect him? we've already talked about how we pretty much want to stay together forever but we're realists and know we need to wait. and i really really don't want to mess it up. i just get so damn moody with whole personality changes. i don't know if he can handle it. sorry for rambling help?

I was married on 4/20/07 to the man I knew I would spend the rest of my life with. Just a few weeks ago I was told I have schizophrenia. My marriage had went to crap long before I was told what was wrong. He stayed by my side, and now that we are seperated, he is still right there if I need him. He doesnt fully understand what im going through, but he is always there if I want to rant and rave about something completely stupid. Bottom line is this, if this man really loves you for you, no mood that you have will push him away. Dont stress about it. Know that he loves you, and thats all that matters! Enjoy being together, and dont put so much effort into worrying. Trust me, it doesnt help!

Like Misty said, dont over worry about it or over-obsess, it only makes things worse. Just try to still have happy and fun times (sometimes do a little extra for him on the side...if ya know what I mean ^.-) Cuz, he's being so understanding. I have a boyfriend too, and I wouldn't be able to get through this without him. Sometimes I rant to him but I mostly rant on here or to the school social worker. Just have good times with him! Don't let your illness tamper with your fun times! :D

I agree with the advise. Also I can't expect people to understand what it's like for me or even want to. All they really need to know is that I'm odd and have different needs. It is way too complicated and takes too much of their energy. My greatest relationship came from a man who loved me for me but had his own life going strong. In order to keep friendships I need to separate my constant communication and share that with a therapist. Someone nonjudgmental and unafraid. It helps so much. It's hard to find a good therapist but talking about what I think, feel, etc. in my insanity or whatever it is, is helping me to discern and control my realities vs this dimension. So I need to talk about it but I don't need other people's fear for me or etc. Anyway...good luck. And one day at a time do not injure yourself or others no matter what. All advise I give myself. My relationship ended but life has gone on and is still very amusing. Don't know if anything is forever, except us. Hopefully you will get to have this wonderful man beside you for a long time. Cherish the moments.
