Ah, such sage advice. If only we thought to just get a grip on reality! He has cured us all!
My girlfriend has sz and I do tend to forget she has it. Sheâs been doing very well and itâs easy to not think about her sz.
When she does have a rough time Iâm reminded just how vulnerable she is and I try to do my best to support her.
Wow this is a hard subject for me.(Iâm the partner of a sz) I feel like the worst partner in the world sometimes. I love my man so much it hurts. I find I sometimes resent the sz so much, I long for him to be able to live with me again and sleep with me when his here, I donât sleep well without him. I long for him to look at me with love instead of hate, I long to be able to go places and have him by my side, I long for him to have his libido back so I feel like a woman again. I long for him to be able to do things with the kids and tolerate them more and give them love back for they worship him. I long to build a future instead of living in limbo. Worst of all I feel so ashamed feeling these things, I remind myself that he canât control these things, heck I remind everyone else when they tell me I shouldnât put up with it. I do because I know he canât help it . But still I struggle with these thoughts everyday, I donât know, maybe it would be different if he got propped treatment or he would talk to me or talk to the doctor. All I know is I love him and that his happiness sends me to the moon , his smile takes my breath away. But boy do I feel like a bad woman.
Itâs the same with my family. I get upset about it though. I call them my âfair weather familyâ now. Itâs hurts to say it.
Yeah I try to remind myself that they just donât understand because theyâre not mentally ill but it hurts that they donât
Yes, my significant other forgets I ever was schizophrenic.
J.
My whole family does and is gets worse the better i am doing, better i am doing the more they forget a side form my brother and older sister they never forget mainly to them having to deal with the worse p-break i had was really really bad
Something that you never forget, others oh yea they forget and react like is something different or new when i forget my meds for two days and start seeing blood covered animals coming out of the walls in one building at school THEN they remember!
Is all done to how much its up in they face is it i think some times when is quiet and controled is fine and easy to forget
A day or so age i freaked out in the store with this huge need to just run in panic and what reaction was it âCan you push the cart as is too heavyâ and im like umm yea sorry i was just going to run the six odd miles house in a blind panic and you want me to push the cart sure! no problem!
My parents are finally getting a provider after years of turmoil. I canât wait for the peace I get.
Youâre not a bad person. Most of the other caregivers on here have expressed the same things. I imagine it is torture for our family members having to watch us go through all this and change our entire personalities. How old are your kids? Do they understand what is happening?
15, 8 and 6. All girls. My eldest gets angry about how he is will me then she kicks herself and reminds herself his sick. The younger ones know his ill but they donât understand, they just worship him and crave his love. They donât like it when dads grumpy. They say they get scared heâll leave. Me I just crave his love aswell so I get where their coming from.
That is really hard. Iâm sorry. I hope he eventually agrees to get treatment. If not, a lot of people on here have been very grateful for their involuntary hospitalizations. It is definitely a hard path to take, but it is there as a last resort if things get really bad.
