I made a reply in this thread about my girlfriend who broke up with me allmost two months ago. I discverred that she has some form of schizofrenia after seeing her slip into a hallucination.
Also with this post it it does scare me to read how familair the descriptions sound. The mood swings, even the Nymphomania part. same goes for some other reply's.
I feel dumb for not seeing it for eleven months. I knew she had serious problems that went as far as mutilating herself, trying to kill herself, eating disorders and so on. (some things happened before I knew her) But I never expected that she had such big problems.
I have the feeling her family knew more about this, but i'm not sure. After she turned away I did get a letter from them that said that I shoudn't take to much on my own shoulders. So I wrote a letter back telling them I worried about her and left it with that.
I still have it hard with the fact that she did turn away so unexpectedly. But it has much to do with the fact that I tried to talk with her about what I had seen. I only wish I had read the "mood swing" part back then. Allthough when thinking rational, what kind of future had given me that?
A thing that hunts me is that she has said that she woudn't let it come as far as she has done before with her ex. She shouted that she was sick and wanted to kill herself. I thing that she did deny the week after that.
Well I think I can keep telling things, but I must try to go on and leave this all behind me.
If you havent got anything usefull to say about what I wrote, please dont say anything than. I think the above reaction is very childish. I leave it with that.
I recently discoffered that my girlfriend has some form off Schizofrenia. I always noticed that she really could have big moodswitches and had some serious problems with herself. But I really started to worry when she became psychotic one night. She had the idea that people where chasing her. It was really frightning, like I was was playing in a bad movie.
She was allready very stressed for some time and behaving more distant (less affection). But when I started to search the internet for the things I had seen I stuck on some sites about schizofrenia, to my horror the picture (all the things that can point to schzofrenia) fitted to well.
Allthough all this knolledge didn't help me a bit. I had come to close to her. I wanted her to get some professional help, but she didn't want to see that there was anything wrong with here. It all resulted with the result that she broke up with me after 11 months - she coudn't manage a relationship anymore - thats what she said to me. In that same week she was still making plans for our future and told me nummerous times how very very much she loved me!!
Six weeks passed by since then. I have seen her once since, wich wasn't planned. But the person I knew eleven months wasn't the person I ran into. The girl I know is completely gone. Her face expresions, her voice, her behaviour all is different. I loved her to death, but know I dont know anymore who I have loved. It seems like the person I loved doesn't exist anymore.
I also discoffered that her story to everyone is quitte different from what actually happened. I find it very hard to hear that she blames me quitte a bit for things and has moved on like I never have exist!
Not really a story that is helpfull. But it has tortured me for the last weeks.
Goodluck with your sister!
