Loving A Schizophrenic

There's no pill just for schizophrenia, it's probably an antipsychotic, and they're also used for bipolar disorder. I think that's what he's sick with, given the depression and "like he thinks he owns the whole world," that's very typical of an episode of obsession. So yes, he was in a psychiatric facility to treat depression, but not to ordinary, but to manic depression.

Sweet girl! I totally understand you! I already wrote on this site, and I will still write! I am 34 years old, from a big city, I have a wonderful marriage, children, husband, a wonderful profession, three senior, friends, colleagues, relatives and family who understand me (even though they know about the problem), I am beautiful, smart - without bragging! - I lead a relatively fulfilling life, enjoy the little moments, read books, travel. My only problem is that I have... Schizophrenia. I was only diagnosed when I was 16. It consisted of depression, a sense of emptiness, stupor, intrusions, obsessions, hysteria (how many doctors and worked I went around, empty work! ). Then hell started - nightmares, hallucinations, hearing and tactile, voices, paranoia, everyone was conspiring against me. I wasn't aggressive, I didn't reach out to anyone. But at school, they isolated me, they mocked me, over time, and I shut myself in. My parents and they - they suffered a lot, but they also helped a lot, and today they're proud of me... At first I cried, I didn't want to accept the truth, I was ashamed, I wondered how I would have children and a job, I tried to kill myself. Then I said, no! I'il take it! I want to live like people! I stopped eating, started psychotherapy, read books, met other people like me. I have children today, and thank God they didn't inherit the disease... You don't need pills and doctors, sweet kid! this shit! As for your friend, I know perfectly well what he's going through. Now the most important thing for him is your support - to you, to his loved ones. You must show him that you are by His side – this is very important! - to show him that he's the same person to you as before... do things together, never talk about his DIAGNOSIS... Let him start psychotherapy. And regarding the bites - they have a lot of side effects, I very much gained weight from them, shortening life. If you think this man is going to be a burden to you - I understand you completely, I repeat - you better leave it. That's the best way to do it. Ask your parents, they will give you the best advice, not strangers in forums that can laugh at you, mislead you, or hurt you painfully. It's your decision, though. But your friend can have a full life, he should know it. To go out more, to do things - despair will only drag him down. As for schizophrenia, it's a disease, like a disease. It's not mental retardation though: autism, oligophres, etc. ( with an apology to people with such relatives or problems! ). That these people are dangerous, incomplete, genetic and hereditary encumbered - these are things not only false, but also stigmatizing. And the stigma here in Bulgaria is unfortunately very strong, but I am not ashamed. We - schizophrenics, bipolar, psychopaths, obsessive-compulsive, homosexual, depressors - we are as many people as you are. Moreover, 98% of people with such diseases are great artists and scientists, see for yourself: Van Gogh, Alan Poe, Gogol, Sylvia Plath, etc., and so on. I don't know what drugs your friend drinks, write. I drank Rispolept. I'm telling you again: drugs and psychiatrists - wind work! Moreover, not always the diagnosis is verifiable! It may be related to hormones, thyroid, epilepsy, bipolar symptoms are the same. To go to a neurologist, best abroad, if there is no money abroad, in Bulgaria! Unfortunately, here medicine and attitude are at a very poor level, hospitals too! As for the fact that he was in rehab - a lot of leeks! I spent three times in the psych ward, so what? Should I shoot myself? That they all Hollywood stars go into clinics, that they announce it to her! What's so ashamed about that? I'm telling you again, it's your decision, but do what's good for you, and it's right for both of you! If you love him very much, you have to consider whether you're willing to take that risk. Indeed, we the sick are a burden to others, but if we encounter understanding, things lighten up! I have nothing to lie to you! There are those who kill, life becomes Hell, and the media only tarnishes our image even more, but it's not always like that, I repeat! Success! It's going to be okay! I hope your friend gets better as much as possible! Schizophrenia - there are books, movies, articles on the subject - hebeffic, or paranoid, is for life, but it is not a verdict! Derzai, baby! Q. S: Over time, I learned to take care not only of myself, but also of others. Every once in a while, I hear a voice, but I manage to control myself. Tell your friend to try yoga or dance, it helps. God be with both of them!

Well done for the power you have. But is that exactly the diagnosis? From depression also enters a clinic and it is not at all mild this condition. The problem in Bulgaria is that we still feel shame and do not speak openly and the second lack of adequate treatment. There's no way to give someone a diagnosis just like that. It's a pity everything that happened to you.

Again from the missus with the diagnosis. I forgot to supplement some things: Schizophrenia - there is a history of the disease on the Internet, as well as the researchers of this disease, Kreplin, Bloyler - as well as all mental illnesses, are controversial, not to say, a non-existent concept. Yes, we have a disease present, but this is more of a factor of symptoms, and the disease itself is subjective. The reasons are not clarified, nor where they come from, because the brain is not properly examined, so psychologists, as well as psychiatrists, are some subjective, not to say, fake doctors and consultants. I myself graduated in psychology, one of my three seniors, but I do not practice this - I had to say it in the previous post, but I forgot - supposedly to help myself, but now we are not talking about it. Such things should be dealt with by neurologists, not psychiatrists, but this is another matter. What is schizophrenia? What is depression? They don't know. There are many themes on this. I recommend the following documentaries - Psychiatry, The Death Industry, Flying With Broken Wings, Selling Madness, and the movie A Beautiful Mind. The psychiatry is a GLOBAL MAFIA. The doctors are poisoners with white aprons, pills on a conveyor belt - and this is a clean sample of drugs. There's never been psychiatrists before, and people like us have lived among others without diagnoses. Not to say that the clinics themselves are fascist tools - bed binding, insulator, shirt, heel - what are these tortures? Since when do people get punished for suffering? Well, three centuries on. These diseases once treated them with herbs, ginseng, vitamin B. I'm firmly confident - and not to comfort myself! - that this is treated, but since it is not a disease, but rather related symptoms, and doctors do not understand, how will it be treated? ... They say - so, disturbed dopamine, I don't know what... Why don't they run the tests, the most basic? There is a Russian psychiatrist, drink on the net, that here something is not going on with fasting - Sofia Dollinskaya - she has interesting videos on the subject! As for how to live with a schizophrenic? Hard. But my husband hasn't asked to divorce me yet :). Sometimes we fight, but what families still don't? He's used to it. Our sex life is also not about repentant :). Mom's crazy, she's laughing. It's not funny. And I don't like the term "crazy." I don't love him. And that's it. I'm telling you again, dear girl, if this is bad for you, end your love affair with the boy, you can stay friends. Why do you have to take one on your shoulders - for now! - an unbearable burden? Talk to your parents, his parents. To help him more than what you're doing, i don't think you can. He's the only one who's going to help himself, him and God. I'm telling you from personal experience. Allah, Buddha, Krishna, Jesus, Yahweh, as you will call it, Supreme Power, etc. Faith has helped me a lot!

Don't mess with him if you don't want to ruin your life. You've already started after you've reached a psychiatrist for this man.

From the author: Thank you all for your understanding. To number 2, Admirations that at such an age you managed to master this, so to speak, disturbance, really, nowadays people are separated for reasons that are so superficial that I do not comment on, almost no one is accustomed to tolerate anything, you have created a wonderful family and you are a very strong person. My friend drinks olanzapine. How did it never occur to me to just open up on the internet and see what it was for, he guaranteed me that it was a sleeping/sedative... just, if I knew what the truth was, some things I would have saved him, for example, to quarrel with him like that, somehow I would go out more smoothly, I love him, my mother already understood, it was inevitable, she told me to choose, he or them, his mother also told me not to look for him anymore to protect him, but if they had really told me, I would not have hurt him like this or constantly made him start work or play sports, etc. He really got into a lot of hard work, and that's what happened after two weeks, the job, me, the insomnia, led him to another seizure. What happened the night we broke up scared us all, why didn't his mother tell me, I know it's wrong to talk about diagnoses, especially to make you look like that, except that he forgot we'd seen each other, and after two hours he called me to ask me where I was, I went there with my sister and her boyfriend, to scare him, we were looking a lot. His car was there, he was gone, he was in the park, a rock dungeon, his phone off, we interviewed some people in the place, they said they saw him, he stas down and talked to himself, then the police came to his car and they said he reported a stolen car, forgot where it was, and thought it was stolen. The police left, we ended up calling him, I was really scared that he might have hit himself. He wasn't there. Eventually, his phone turns on and tells us he's got home in a cab. And I was looking for him under wood and stone. I didn't sleep all night, and not only do I think it. The next day we had agreed to meet, talk to me, it became clear to me what was going on, and I waited all day, finally writing to a friend of his if he had seen him, and my friend responds to me from his chat not to look for him, he wanted us to remain friends, and he is gone neither online nor the phone picks up, I am afraid of not being back in this clinic, he did not want to go back there, all I can do in this situation is to remain a good friend, if we can accept himself as such, and help him for life, because he is one of the few valuable people I have met, I can not leave him, I can not.

From the Lady with the diagnosis: To No 3 - Thanks for the compliment. No, the diagnosis isn't wrong. I went abroad. I don't regret anything. That was my destiny. On the contrary, so I realized a lot of things, a lot of things I appreciated, and I looked at the world in a different way. - You say I'm strong. Thanks. I don't think I'm strong. Worse things happen to people. I'il tell you, you're a very good, compassionate girl, you can tell you that you care about your boyfriend. Well, if most people like you were! I also drank olanzapine. It's very damaging, it doesn't reflect well - it's getting my hair down, I'm getting fat, so now I'm got grafted hair, but it's like it's real. You don't have to rush your friend, make him go to work, play sports - it's his business, and we intellectuals don't like sports, at least I do. As for your parents, they just want to protect both of them. It's good to rest now!!!! How old is she? Go anywhere with an ESCORT! Hide all the knives and detergents, don't touch it! ... Be careful what you say in front of him. I see how much you're torturing yourself. Stop thinking about it. Watch your life, relax, temporarily move away from it. You need it, you understand that? I'm not saying, how humiliating it is for him, that you know, from the whole situation, he probably wants to be alone temporarily, he said he wants you to just be friends, as far as I know? The plight is that there is already a diagnosis in the system, that's bad. You love him, but take care of yourself first.

It's the first time I've heard of anyone being cured of this. A friend of mine killed himself :(.

I read that for some reason schizophrenics maintain a lower body temperature. Another thing I read is that schizophrenia and at all deviations in a person's psyche are also due to tension between the two hemispheres of the brain. They say that insincesive people with mental health problems hit their heads hard, in a wall, say, to restore their divorce, disturbed in the head. True or not, this I listened to in various shows of Russian doctors. Then, they say, for fliers, there are also special devices for the head, after heavy loads in the air, to control the balance in the brain, more precisely in the two hemispheres. In short, the psyche is highly dependent on the position of the two hemispheres, any mechanical dislocation is dangerous. Therefore, it is very important that when the baby is born, not to squeeze his head, because deformation can cause a problem.

From the author: He's 26 years old. Three years ago, he entered this clinic and since then it can not be taken into his hands. I'm worried, my parents don't want to hear about it anymore, and I wish I could pack my suitcases and get out where no one will find me, really. They say love hurts, but it passes, and it's the real one?

From the Lady with the diagnosis: up to 8 - No, there is no treatment from this. I haven't healed either. I'm sorry about your friend. I've wanted to kill myself, too, but I still don't have enough courage... But you can lead a full life, it depends on many factors. One of them is being a woman. In men, it proceeds much more severely and extremely irreversibly.

Comment number 3 was directed at the author. "The lady with the diagnosis", as she is called, took it as a compliment... Well, half the comments are hers. Do you do your math, child - are you willing to sacrifice your life for this? Think about it! The most important symptom - "do not drink "bites", doctors are mafia" - again I tell you - think!

From the author: The last days I read a lot about the disease, I met, so to speak, I read about a person who has this diagnosis from an early age unlocked, is already an adult, but a successful person. He became a university lecturer, he's a foreigner, but he's been talking about how he struggled with it, he's never had relationships, but now he's a really successful guy, 40. marry, but everyone is individual, you just have to want to help yourself otherwise no one can, if you don't want it alone, and really, faith I think is of great importance, if you lose faith you lose everything. There are people who have been in a wheelchair all their lives, with a disability since birth, but struggling, not giving up. What else do you have left? But I still think there are better conditions abroad for people, especially people with some kind of trauma, whether physical or mental. I encouraged my friend to go abroad to a relative who offered him a job, in a quiet town, by the ocean. It would have been good for him, his relative offered him a job there himself, he had initially set himself very keen, even talked about how he wanted to go, and I don't know if he gave up because of me. But now that we're separated, maybe it's for his own good. When he told me about the clinic and said it crossed his mind to kill himself, I told him, sometimes, no matter how treacherous life is, the easiest way out is this, you kill yourself and that it ends, like a game, a game over, you better go on and see what's waiting for you.

Girl, don't ruin your life - you're responsible for it, not for other people's lives. this man (he has his parents to pick his care) and move on. You may be conscientious, but you'il get away with it - you can't help him, and as your experience shows, you're going to get sick too. Why? Because of some "love," come on. Life and health are the most important. Don't look back. And this case is an earring on your ear.

The author, you've taken on the dreadful glory of the diagnosis, which is normal, given how little is known about mental illness and how distorted the picture is that psychiatrists are. I think I know what I'm saying. So they said it, and I'll say it more broadly: diagnose "schizophrenia" is at best an attempt at the science of diagnosis. It's a description of some set of symptoms and so much. It is not something that can be examined, seen directly, as we say a broken bone or one bacterial infection. In psychiatry, they constantly change concepts, remove diagnoses (no one talks about "neurasthenia" for example), invent new ones, change the existing ones... it's a complete bulamach, and it will be so long, at least because this science handles the most complex and difficult-to-know - the human psyche. Now, don't get me wrong - just because the term "schizophrenia" is generally a very vague name, does not mean that your friend's mental suffering is harmless. There are some things that are repeated in the mentally ill, with whatever diagnosis you call them: difficult concentration, intrusiveness, obsession and paranoia, spending too much time in an imaginary world, talking alone. In more severe cases - neglect of personal hygiene and safety, hallucinations, unjustified aggression towards others, speech problems. Different combinations of symptoms are led different diagnoses, but you can guess in general how frivolous this is. Anyway, especially on your anguish, I give advice from your personal experience, you decide for yourself: - if you want to help this man, you have to accept that he will need a slightly more isolated, safer environment than the outside world - just as parents leave their children in kindergarten and not let them walk around the city on their own. At this point, your friend is generally hard-working and adequate, which means things aren't the scariest at all. But over time it may deteriorate, and the brightest sign of this is likely to be the difficult concentration of doing anything; - such a safe, isolated environment, has nowhere to find, unless someone specifically leans in to create it. Psychiatric clinics are places for the hard-to-do of patients, so they stay quiet, meek and insanity. They certainly won't cure him there, but they'il make it worse. If you think I'm exaggerating, be interested in how cured there are after a stay in a psychiatric ward and how deteriorated; - the cause of mental illness is not clear, but we can very much assume that some kind of psychological trauma and/or problems in the family is almost always present as a factor. One of the relatively new paradigms is that mental illness is a characteristic not only of the individual, but rather a characteristic of the family environment. You may wonder if there are serious problems and contradictions in your friend's family environment and separately, whether he has experienced any serious psychological trauma that he is ashamed to share. Another likely factor is heredity - have there been any mentally ill in this person's family? -

I'm delighted with your compassionate attitude. You are the most vivid direct (and not indirect) evidence that a person has decided to do something, in your case to help, will do so in any case. And how was it, every fact of objective reality is a single circumstance until it is proven. And objective truth is the ultimate goal for all of us.

It's a good thing that your friend is not someone in power (no matter which of the three authorities), that then a god knows what kind of damage he would create with impunity, because I've heard that they were untouchable. I can think of one of these - cars and hangs in a way- in a figurative sense, I mean. She's very ruthless, she can't deal with her. She's as clean as a tear, and she's angry with people. I hope the boy gets better though. And number 18 said it well: the truth is always about it.

Offline, how unpleasant that is. To protect God. I had big patils with a girl at the same time, but her diagnosis was more serious. She had instilled that we were for each other on the basis of three different lines on facebook and a few pictures. Her troubled love went into a thirst for cruel vengeance. My health destroyed that sick brain. She had tracked down my whole family. It's a total scumbag at all. But I have decided not to take revenge on her, guided by the maxim: "No vengeance remains unimstified," and with a sick man is a sin. Your friend is a soul, i hope he heals. And be together.

Number 16: " For some "love," come on. " :) but a commentator...

I'm number 20 again. To be a little more circumspect, that slob I wrote about became a reason to have a ride with my closest relatives, with whom my whole childhood has passed and with whom we share a common home. You've destroyed relationships that have been building for decades. And along with that, my health is irreversible. It's a rare piece of. Just by writing about her and all the shaking, if you want, trust me.

Yes, exactly, what love? First, it's a controversial, vague and TRANSIENT feeling. Besides, the author herself says she wants to escape - she suffocates. She has a sense of duty, but her life is hers. What to ruin him? Have sick children? You have to be human to yourself first. Suppose she stays with this man, sacrifices himself for him, but she's unhappy - she has no children, no normal life. As a result, he will hate himself, his life and him. But he'il be 40 and he's not going to go where? Love your neighbor as you love yourself - that is, you must first love yourself, not sacrifice yourself, expecting love in return. In short, girl, move on.

22, according to me, you're messing with us. I don't believe there's as many vindictive people as you're describing. I solve disputes and conflicts between people on a daily basis, but such a pathology I had not detected, honestly. I hope you get better!

People, we're in the 21st century. Don't be so narrow-minded. I'm not ashamed to say I'm paranoid. I'm a grown woman, but I'm permanently thinking that someone's following me and wants to hurt me, or embarrass me. And I'm not ordinary. I don't think I have any reason for these paranoid thoughts, but this is the situation-I'm constantly living in a movie. I'm swallowing pills, and it's okay.
