i had a “boyfriend” when i was in a schizophrenia program and group home. he was from the same program and group home. i say boyfriend in quotes cause we were more like really good friends with very rare benefits lol. he was cool tho. He had fetal alcohol syndrome so even tho he was older than me at 35 and i was like 21, he was mentally around my age. that is the only boyfriend ive had in my life. im 35 now.

I’ve dated a lot, and currently have been with my boyfriend for 2 years. I was with my ex for four years and was diagnosed with sza about half way through but I had it before then too.

I started dating my husband when i was dealing with pyschosis and paranoia and borderline personality symptoms and coming off of a 2 yr addiction to morphine. It was a lot. I had lost everything from my last marriage and lost all hope. He fell in love with me and became committed way before i did. I dont think i had the ability to even think that way i was so off my rocker. When i was diagnosed with sz, he stood by me and helped me get situated. I had over a dozen hospital stays in 2 years, several for suicide attempts, and he stood by me.
There Are good people out there. People who are understanding and loving. I promise.

Had a few women over the years. Trouble is they are usually Eupd, so your bouncing off each others issues. I seem to attract them.
I always get the dysfunctional relationships.
Classic case of “i bloody well hate you - but please dont leave me, or i will self harm”
Bloody manipulative.

Haven’t had a gf since being diagnosed. I never really had one before. I got sick at 16. kinda had one but never did anything about it. I spent most my time skating and hung out with people a year or two older. By the time I was “ready” I was bat ■■■■ crazy lol. Hooked up with a few people. I’ve been way more interested since getting off invega and on perphenazine. Idk maybe something will happen. I’d like someone to date but I also like being able to be alone.

I have had some boyfriends since diagnosed.
Some bad some fantastic.
I am currently single.
I have schizophrenia and also herpes and hpv and I’m not stable enough to travel overseas etc and I need to stay home in bed most of the time.
I lived with one x and we were pretty perfect together I thought except sexually but I didn’t care because he was my everything and he accepted me doing nothing.
My last x is the best lover and every moment with him was precious and great.
He made love to me and was so perfect to hang out with and just watch tv together.
I had a very bad x who is was a bad man who tied me up in invisible restraints and had sex with me daily and was into illegal stuff and clearly didn’t appreciate or value me or deserve me.
I don’t know if there was any good there but I guess there was a tiny bit of good there because I got my fur baby through people he knew.they abused her anc she was dying.
I got about twelve years with her my favourite girl.
I want to meet someone serious and real and exclusive and marry and or spend rest of our lives together.

Actually maybe not marriage because I’m not religious as such and don’t like beauracracy and had beliefs about a husband getting paid to marry me and pretend to love me and not be real genuine.

I got into the game early and had a girlfriend at 14 but that is when the symptoms started in hindsight. I didn’t get a decent relationship till I got on meds at 29. I got married at 32 and although divorced it was more her actions than me.
It’s totally possible to have good relationships after dx and meds.
