Hi
I'd be really grateful for some practical advice. My boyfriend is Paranoid schizophrenic but doesn't really take meds properly. He's also been on the same ones for decades...(repeat prescription) and is very paranoid both about meds as well as pretty much everyone/thing.
He has no friends, no job, is rejected by family and only sees his mum who is also mentally ill. No one except for me comes to his home. (which was in a shocking state when we first met)
To summarise in the past 14 months he has been like 2 people- one is awesome and loving. The other person hears voices (he says its me saying nasty things) and then shouts and gets verbally abusive.
To begin with I coped because God's grace was with me. However i cant see a way forwards/future without some help/ advice.
I really do love him and want a future. I am praying (of course) but now I wonder if I should seek more practical advice?
Would anyone who suffers with paranoid Schizophrenia be kind enough to recommend strategies. Last time i saw him he was shouting abuse at me so i asked him to leave. I hate the thought of my neighbours hearing and also sometimes I get tired and I end up arguing back and trying to reason.
I really don't want to quit...
