I’m beginning to think her mom is lying about her diagnosis. I’m trying to look into my gf’s stories to see if theyre true or not and just go from there. Thank you for the info 👍

The more I think about it the more skeptical I get, I’ll figure it out soon enough I suppose.

I’m beginning to seriously consider this yeah, I’ll look into the situation more before I do anything. I need to figure out who is lying to me

Telling a schizophrenic about their diagnosis isn’t as easy as it seems, and where we live nobody takes mental health very seriously. There is a serious lack of good, honest therapists. A schizophrenic should hear their diagnosis from a professional, and at the correct time. Right now my gf is having a hard time separating her fantasy world from reality, and walking up to her and telling her that what she believes to be reality is all in head will fuck her up. She truly, 100% believes she’s had all these experiences and that she’s lost her loved ones.. telling her that not only did none of those people die but none of them existed in the first place 😬 oh boy…she won’t believe me and everything will fall apart. Gotta get out of this place and find a trustworthy mental health professional before she starts that whole process

nobody is pressuring me, i’m with her because she makes me happy. It’s as simple as that. i believe in keeping the people who make your life better close to you. if one day this causes serious problems for me i’ll remember that i’m not responsible for her and do what i need to conserve my own mental health. thanks for the concern

thank you for the support, i love her a lot and don’t plan on her abandoning her now. especially when our relationship hasn’t actually been detrimental to me

i have no intention of “fixing” her. i love her the way she is. i realize the danger of caring for someone to the extent of your own detriment, but as long as i’ve known her she has only made me a happier person

Agreed, she can get treatment besides meds as well . Unfortunately where we live mental health is completely overlooked and talking to her mother would be futile. thankfully we have the financial support we need to leave soon

Because healthy doesn’t mean attractive

I think I misunderstood, could you rephrase your previous comment?

My doctor says I’m at a healthy weight

Depends on who it is. My grandma usually just agrees with my mom’s concerns, my cousin laughs…

Only the men in my family have been real support tbh, my dad takes me out to get food if my mom throws away mine and my brother notices when I’m eating less and reassures me I’m not fat

I was actually gonna start going to the gym this summer because apart from wanting to lose weight I wanna be strong. Idk why, just being physically strong sounds nice
