Hey there, i’m new on here and kinda
need some help…
basically me and my family have come to
the conclusion that my boyfriend is going
through some problems, and I don’t think
he realises that he may have a disorder of
some kind? I know there are a few topics
on this but I just have to make sure..
Ok he believes/thinks that:
- everyone is ‘twisted’ and can’t be
trusted. He can tell whether or not
someone is evil just by looking at them
for 2 seconds. By looking into people’s
eyes can see what they’re like,
they’re eyes are like a deep hole, or
looking down whilst stood on the edge of a
cliff.
- he was born to help people, take away
the pain and suffering of the world, heal
people who are ‘messed up’ and have
problems, just by wrapping himself around
them but not literally, with what he
explained to be maybe his spirit or
wings.. That there is a line: people who
are born good on one side, people who were
born purely evil the other, then the
balanced in the middle. He believes he is
on the good side. He thinks about this
every night, and suffers from lack of
sleep.
- when he looks in the mirror it doesn’t
feel as if it’s himself staring back.
- sometimes finds it hard to make
conversation with me, and will just say
he’s ok just in deep thought but looks
withdrawn and as if he’s daydreaming?
- thinks I deserve better, i’m too good
for him, and he can’t see why I like
him.
- sometimes he’s really affectionate and
can be possessive and obsessive, and then
he changes and puts me down making feel
stupid, and becomes withdrawn.
- he has this reoccurring vision or
something along those lines, and has
really bad dreams that he won’t describe
to me but says they aren’t nightmares.
That’s about it, well what I know of.
I don’t know what it could be, but I
thought it may be something along the
lines of schizophrenia or bipolar
disorder; they seem pretty similar to me
from what i’ve read? It’s a bit long
but some help would be awesome and well
appreciated.
Thanks :)

To me it sounds like bipolar..You should
try to help him and make him trust you and
then he'll talk to you because we usually
don't trust anybody and it is very hard to
talk to someone about these things because
we think that you won't understand what
we're going through.And when he starts
trusting you ggo and talk to a
psychiatrist.

That's exactly how I feel before my first
episode. I think it is in the early
stages. So far I have psycosis but it
could change later.

If you are a christian then repent that
you have failed to see your husband does
not understand deception the way we normal
people do. His "evil" half is not, quite
the opposite. His "sickness" is that he
lives in a world full of "normal" people
who from childhood he saw say one thing
and do another, that is deception.
Because he would be treted negatively when
he would point it out (after all we normal
people will say it was not meant that way)
but if you look honestly at the words
spoken they have the literal meaning your
husband takes. Becasuse he is born with
sz he has always thought that way and just
learned to hide it from us "normal" people
who will just tell him he is wrong, or
"mentally ill". He does not share his
true thoughts and feelings because he
fears he will be punished. The sz's and
others who see the truth will be the
multitude spoken of in revelations.

You better change is belief system before
he commits suicide. He will probably
think he will have special powers if he is
dead. You can snap him out of it by
gaining his trust or even lie to get it.
Make up something like you saw an angel
tell you something.

Not Mad--just Exclaiming!!! Posted: 07-26-05 16:59pm
What are you talking about!!!???
Repent who are you telling to repent--me
the christian!!
You are right about all the things you
said, but how do you know. Are you the
sz or the"normal"
there is no normal and that is the first
thing anyone finds out!! There is
disfunction in all of us--there is a form
of mental illness in all of us, at least
one!! Hehehe
all of us could go to the pysciatrist and
find we have a mental illness or 2, or 10
different ones. I see the truth--and
who are you to tell me I don't??
Dude!!!

Hey Posted: 08-05-05 04:40am
I would need more information.
But from your post there, in my opinion
... He does not have schizophrenia nor
bi-polar. These are severe, psychotic
disorders.
You mentioned he daydreams often? Maybe
this is an adhd thing? Just a wild
idea.
You mentioned how he withdraws and thinks
he's not good enough for you. That
sounds kinda normal. But if this is
something psychiatric, I would associate
avoidant personality disorder.
But these are just my
opinions/observations.
I mean, also, it sounds like he can read
people real well and stuff. Like he
dosen't have social problems in the
psychiatric sense.
Josh

You claim to be a christian, yet if you
treated him with christ like love, he
would not be sick. My girlfriend was
diagnosed shortly after we were together,
and she is fine now with no meds. You
grow impatient with him, or angry when he
seems to be acting selfish, this is why he
can not share what is really going on.

Whatever dude--get off of me
you dont know me or the depth of my love.
I love him more than he's ever been
loved. Forgive him over and over when
he treats me like @#$% for no reason.
Just becuz he's pushing me away--cuz he
dont think he deserves me. And for his
talking to me--he has opened up to me more
than any one ever. He takes no
medication, my whole church has prayed
for him.
Maybe he just dont receive the annointing
from god when it is sent to him. Or if
he does--he refuses to let go of "his way
of thinking"--then god cant help him
anyway.

I just wanted to comment that I dated a
guy a lot like that once. He had adhd
and also, what he termed an "ed"
(emotional disorder), though i'm not sure
which one in particular. It definitely
sounds like he should speak to a
psychologist/ psychiatrist, but I think
jumping to the conclusion of schizophrenia
or bi-polar is a bit too premature. Just
my opinion.

Am I Schizophrenic? Posted: 09-26-05 07:37am
Im 17 and am really confused. I know I
have social anxiety,low self esteem,manic
deppreasion and possibly a eating
disorders as I am goin 2 see a diet
trishion soon but im worried I could be
schizophrenic because of the amount of
cannibiss I have smoked and now I cant
trust any1 I feel like my family and
friends r against me conspiring even my
doctors in on it. Ive been comeing more
and more paranoid and am now out of work
cause of it. Its driveing me insane I
have loads of the symptoms but am still
unsure and ive heard that family,friends
and doctors dont tell schizophrenics that
they r and it can be made worse by finding
out but really need help finding out as I
cant even sit wiv friends without being
paranoid or thinking that they r saying
things about me which might just be miss
understanding them. I dont really hear
vioces but I have always known sumthing
was different about me but nobody would
tell me I just keep drifting off in2 a
world of my own and have been selfharming
even worse 8tly wiv needing stitches I
litterly find it a struggle 2go out of my
house anymore and even my old friends r
starting 2 say things bout me like ive
turned in2 a retard or im crazy. And ova
the past years it has started 2 lead 2 me
abuseing alchol and drugs more as its the
only way I can cope with wots goin on
inside my head. I feel like every1 is
against me and wants me dead.
