With Sz life is hard already, I can’t tell anyone I have this illness, they won’t understand, they will just mock me. My girlfriend is a trigger. She seems to make my illness worse. I have 3 kids with her, but I don’t think she loves me. She says things to make me angry. I start twitching and shake, I breath heavily and get a feeling like voices taking over my personality. I don’t think it’s healthy. She doesn’t work and I have schizophrenia, I stress and have two jobs. Where will I get enough money for this family?

Two jobs?

If you do end up leaving her be there as much as you can for the kids. After all you are their father.
Hi Rian. I think you need to confront your girlfriend on making mean comments. Maybe even have couples councilling if needed it. Maybe there is a reason shes lashing out at you that she needs help in understanding and finding a more healthy way of dealing with.
It sounds like you have you are doing very well for yourself even if there are issues at the moment.

I struggle to cope with the stress, I’m thinking of quiting but I don’t have enough money to even pay for my meds and kids. I just pray she helps financially.

Why don’t you get disability benefits?
If she’s mistreating you, you need to sit down and talk it out. Explain to her what makes you feel bad. If after that she doesn’t stop, you should leave her. Being mistreated all the time is abuse

I live in south africa, I’m going to try get some disability fund next week, but it is only R 1500. It will only cover my meds.

Speaking with her openly would be better choice.
I think you really need to make it known your struggles. It sounds like she’s being a little selfish. Again, I think some kind of couples councilling would be good because you would benefit putting your opinions across with a mediator. It sounds like you are doing everything you can to support your family and your partner isn’t respecting you, despite you spreading yourself thin.
BTW. Can I recommend you ask a mod to rename your account? I don’t think using your full name is a good idea.
