I got divorced 5 years before sz diagnosis. Never got involved since divorce. It is now 12 years of not being in a relationship.

I got married this past sept. It was 3 years after my official sza diagnosis. Dx’d bipolar before that.

I’ve been symptomatic for over 30 years. I was symptomatic when I met my current husband, but for five years we only saw each other twice a week. There were times that I locked myself in his bathroom to deal with Seraton, but my (then boyfriend) didn’t know that… I guess I feel badly that I didn’t fully disclose until after we were married, but I mistakenly believed I had things under control. I was in CBT therapy and doing better than I had in years.
Anyway, my husband has a strong sense of commitment and really believes he loves me. I love him partly because he’s a genuinely good person. But it’s been very difficult. Sometimes I think if I really loved him I would leave and release him from the burden of dealing with me.
I got married after I had been diagnosed sza, but that was before I had accepted that diagnosis. I was still insisting on bipolar with psychotic features. Either way, I’d had two psychotic breaks prior to meeting my ex-wife. I had my third break just four months into our marriage, then she ended things and gave me the boot two months later; it was more than she could deal with. I’ve only had one very serious relationship since, a woman I at one point wanted to marry. Thank God I didn’t, that would have been a disaster; that woman was all wrong for me and did terrible things to my confidence and self-esteem.

I just got married in August, about three years after my diagnosis and fourteen years after I first became sick. My husband has had to deal with a few psychotic episodes, including a pretty major one after my head injury. He says that as long as I’m still trying, he isn’t bothered by how crazy I am.

She said she accepted me for who I was. Turns out she accepted me for what I had.
We were married for less than ten years.
It was a very long ten years.

@far_cry0, I married after sz, 20 years before. My wife takes me to psychiatric every time rather than divorce, after marriage.
