Do you think two sz or sza can date? Or would it be detrimental?

I went out a couple times with a girl diagnosed with sza. She was moody.

There needs to be a voice of sanity at all times. I don’t think it would work.

Not sure. But I’m hardly able to relate to other people anymore so it would just probably be hard. I had a date with a normie not too long ago, and realized I can’t look people in the eye anymore. She was aware of my schizophrenia, and it didn’t bother her, but I couldn’t connect with her on an emotional level.

I think it would work. You can relate to your partner.

I don’t want to be with a normie, I think that would be hard, as I would always feel less…

true. Maybe it would work with another schizophrenic. But I have no idea I guess.

both would have difficulty taking showers and cleaning up after themselves lol. Not that that would be a problem.

Can it work? Sure.
It all depends on the parties involved.
I dated a girl who was diagnosed, she went off her meds, dragged me into delusion with her. I was yet to be diagnosed, or medicated. We fed off of each other for a few weeks, had some fun, but no way could we two active psychosis sufferererers have anything close to healthy.

I’m pretty stable on meds. I think I could be the stable one if I had a relationship with a sz. Would I want the headache of a sz who wasn’t completely stable? IDK.

I don’t think I have the patience to be with someone who has sz unless they are 100% med compliant and psychosis free.

I’ve tried it a couple times, and it was just too much for the relationship to handle. If I ever settle down, it will be with an empathetic normie

But if you want to date another szic you need to forget about having kids as the chance that your kid will have sz is about 50-60%.

Schizophrenics tend to rapport with each other.

You couldn’t pay me enough to date someone with sz/sza.
I’d end up being the caretaker and I’m not strong enough mentally for that.
If I didn’t have sza myself and I knew that the person I’m dating would be med compliant, it would be different, I would definitely consider it.

I tried dating a normie that didn’t work out cause I couldn’t go and do the things expected from a so called normal relationship. So my idea was to find someone similar if that’s even possible. Kinda like being between a rock and a hard place.
