There's many things you can do to help your boyfriend. Don't think just because he MAY be schizo, that he can't keep a close relationship. That's not true for all Schizo's. I don't think it's even a proven fact, to be honest. Anyway, from what your telling, it sounds like he may have a form of Schizophrenia. He needs to see a doctor, if someone is telling him to overdose, and destroy things. His life is in danger, as well as others. If he sees a doctor, and tells them these things, he'll most likely be confined for a few weeks, for evaluation.

ok seriously, thats the kind of advice your giving her.
hey listen dont pay ANY attention to what that guy said.
Since you care for your boyfriend as much as you say so and you do from what i can read the best thing that you can do is get him to see a doctor right away, and they wont keep him there for WEEKS because of an evaluation. schizophrenia can be serious and from what i read it sounds like its getting to that point, if someone he thinks is real is telling him to do something to harm himself or to his possesions then thats the extent of it. he wont harm anyone but himself or his stuff, and thats still not a good thing. that fact that this guy is calling them Schizo's just show he has no respect for you or your problem as well as for people that is sick from schizophrenia. get to a doctor and get a real evaluation done. i hope everything works out for you and your boyfriend, if you get help and the sooner the better there is a high probability that he can take medication that will cure him of the hallucinations. although he may always have schizophrenia, he can at least control it. thats one step ahead of the game. goodluck again i hope everything works out, which i knoww it will. Always Be Positive

Provided he is a schizophrenic, trauma is not what causes it. Trauma does things sure, but not schizophrenia. He sounds a bit schizophrenic to be honest, I had severe insomnia, threw away all my things, was haunted by an evil prescense, and Im being encouraged to kill myself on a daily basis. Yeah, I've never had a loved one die in front of me, but Im pretty sure it wouldn't make an evil girl appear and tell me to destroy my things and kill myself, whether I had grieved or not.
