Hannah, you do have to also include yourself in this relationship. It's nice to be "needed", but what about you? I've been through this, and it has been like continually running myself into a brick wall with my schizophrenic boyfriend (he never told me he suffered from it, but explains his lack of hygiene and a worsening poker face, lack of emotion and energy); so, just be careful, and it's wonderful that you are standing by him and helping him out. Just don't forget about yourself.

My boyfriend has schizophrenia- I have been with him for over 2 years. Recently, he violently attacked my in his "sleep". He thinks he was dreaming, he was in a phycosis. I have never been so scared in my life. I had to tell him 4 times that I was his girlfriend- not someone or something else... Unpredictable

I am 22 and my boyfriend is in a psych ward the past week and was just diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder out of the blue, he was always such a calm, loving, caring, together, hard working man, and one day he just started an episode and it didn't stop, was thinking he was talking to god, talking super rapidly, crying for no reason, thinking he understands all about life and is enlightened, and unfortunately during his first psychotic break, he went from telling me on the phone "I love you so much baby you don't even understand" to smacking me across the face to trying to get me to go to this romantic pier with him which is our spot, to breaking up with me without any logical reason given whatsoever besides his nonsense ramblings about GOD and kicking me out of the house and shouting "Get the f**k out, just LEAVE!" with absolutely no empathy. He threatened to hurt himself the next day which ended up making his family call 911 and is now in the psych ward. He was just diagnosed and the docs are trying to find meds for him now but I am so emotionally drained, scared, alone, confused, lost, sad, and I think his family is starting to shut me out and I don't know what to do. It came out of nowhere, my completely sane calm, relaxed man just flipped a switch out of nowhere into a person I don't even know. I am so emotionally heartbroken, I thought I was going to marry this man, we were planning on moving out in our own apartment in a couple months and now everything is just so messed up. Please help.

Absolutely agree get out.... I've been beaten to a pulp and told my friends and the last court case I had the judge hadn't even read my case, it was a circus.....I never took photos when I was beaten up and swollen and sore.....but I did visit the doctor to see if I was reasonably ok, he is in and out of work regularly and does silly stuff all the time and is regularly abuses us mentally.....he has no respect for anyone....he is undiognosed even now......

This is exactly the same situation I’m currently in. My bf was the most loving, kind, funny, charming and bright. We were together for a year, talked about our futures together, discussed goals, dreams and even babies. In the entire year that we were together not once did he talk down on me or make me feel the way he did about 2 weeks ago. When his friends asked me if I knew what the heck was going on with him I said, “ok so I’m not going crazy? You guys noticed too?” He is most certainly not the same person we knew. He literally flipped a switch from one day to another. When we broke up the first time during the last 2 weeks he mentioned something that brought up red flags. He would call me to break up, then to apologize and say I’m the only woman he’s given his heart too, and then at night he would call to say horrible things. I asked him to stop calling if he wasn’t going to be nice. This man fabricated a fallacy about my family and I to get out of work for fear of his life “being in danger” in my hometown. I’m not a violent person and there was no history of violence in our relationship either and this is what throws me off the most. I remember the one night soon after his episode started, he was pacing the room with a rifle and saying the government was out to get him and that they were listening. He also told his friends that he got a new car because I had put a tracking device in his car. He’s completely lost it and I’m really not sure if a certain situation or an internal struggle caused him to have an episode, but possibly drugs are the reason. I know for a fact he was dabbling on different kinds of drugs and that could possibly be why he’s off the deep end now. All I can do is pray and hope his parents are able to help because at the moment he says he can’t trust me and that I broke his heart but can’t explain how I broke it. In other words, he’s not making any sense. I am so sorry for your loss and know that I feel your pain. It’s so difficult watching your favorite person become an evil version of themselves. I hope you were able to find closure. Stay healthy and remember that there’s always a rainbow after the storm.
