Is anyone has to break up with his her gf or bf just because of this illness?if so how was the feel?how did you manage this situation?did you think suicide just because you broke up?
I was married two years before I was diagnosed. I insisted we get divorced because I didn’t know if I would get better. 5 years later we are still together. Seperated6 months.

My boyfriend is having problems with me.
He wants me to get a job ASAP.
I tried getting a job. I had a job for not even a month. I got fired for not getting things done in priority.
I had panic attacks and delusions while working, plus barely any motivation.
I got so depressed.
I don’t know if I can handle another job.
It brings out the worst out of me.
I got into my first relationship when I was psychotic and broke up because of paranoia. After I started taking meds I sent a message to him about being sorry cuz I thought I might have hurt him. We started talking again and then we agreed to get married to each other. Then I told him I had schizophrenia and he broke it off and just wanted to be friends with benefits over the phone. I changed my number and stopped talking to him. He was really mean to me over the phone after he found out that I had schizophrenia. I still haven’t told my family that we had decided to get married to each other. They were warning me against getting back together with him cuzthey thought he was kind of mean. I did end up in the mental hospital soon after that, but I don’t think it was just because of him. I think I just couldn’t handle that I had schizophrenia and all the ramifications of it.
My ex-fiancé broke up with me because I ■■■■■■ up our relationship when I was ill, and I attempted suicide afterwards. ■■■■ happens. I was heartbroken. But then you heal and move on.
The girl and I talked about getting married. Then she insisted that in order for that to happen I had to adopt her son. I felt I could handle being a step-father but not adopting an already disturbed young boy.
I told her I didn’t feel stable enough adopt (what if something happened to her, could I raise him alone?) and so we broke up unhappily but on good terms. Looking back I think I made the right decision for my own mental health, but I sometimes wonder what things would be like if I had taken the chance.
I broke up a relationship because I was psychotic. It didn’t work at the time. Now I’m on meds and more stable and wish I hadn’t stopped my meds back then. We might have still been together. He was really sweet to me and my son and I think we would have made a good match. Right now he’s dating another girl and I have felt really sad and dramatic for a while. Now I’m a lot better, but sometimes still a bit sad over losing him. I’m not totally sure if he could have dealt with my illness though, even while I’m on meds… He’s a guy who has had a very easy life, no difficulties really.
