Hi, and welcome to the forums. It's geeat that you're reaching out. This must be so hard for you. The stigma and difficulties suppoeting a loved one with psychosis can be so exhausting. I have two brothers with paranoid schizophrenia both on CTO injections. The hardest thing for me is the lack of emparhy and the arguments:

"nobody believes me"

"its not me it's them"

"Why don't you believe me"

So much suffering in their mind. 1/2 family won't talk to them or people who do ralk to the (like me) because if it. Its hard. But I can walk away, you can't - you need to keep building up support network for yourself. There's more organisations around, but here's a good start, many identify with you. Not sure what mor to say, hang in there, look after you too. xox

Re: Schizoprenia how to help your love one

hello

such a hard situation for yourself and your partner.

He is suffering within his mind and all he needs is love and care. He pushes people away unaware of what he is doing.

You say that you fly in and out of Australia on a visa. Gosh you both would be dealing with the absence of each other as well.

I have no words to offer. My son is the same as your partner and now has nothing to do with me. He hates me because I set a boundary with money. So he carries hate and hurt re his mother and his mother, myself carries hurt also.

Do you have family or close friends here or overseas? Even though you are not a permanent citizen here Carers Australia mental health section might listen to you. Google them. Investigate the same type of organisation in your country. Just so that you have someone to talk to, keeping up your strength.

my heart goes out to you.

I have his mom to talk to when im loosing hope..she always tells me to walk away..but i cant. Thats the reason i signed up here..to know where to find support for him and for me. Im sorry @morhill to hear about your son. Im just a partner and it pains me to see him struggling...what more for parents who've seen their child grow up only to go the other way. Il pray for you and your wife and your son

Re: Schizoprenia how to help your love one

Im at my homeland now..we are separated for a month. Before i left we have little money at home but i made sure he will have food for a month..he didnt see me off the airport..he just see me off the bus station and told me he doesnt have credits left on his opal card..i felt sad and felt unappreciated after spending my own money for his food supply..we continously chat to update each other but he gets easily confuse and frustraded with messages. So he told me he will delete the messaging apps. I told him thats his choice..then he lashed back and say nasty stuff at me ..any woman would feel worthless after reading those words..he summarized me as the worst possible any woman can hear..and told me he us done with me..i accepted and never heard from him for a day..the following day he was confined in the hospital he took drugs and alcohol..flirted with other woman and he message me to confess and apologize for what he said..i dont know which one is the real him...the one who see me as the worst woman or the one who propose marriage after he sobered up coz he loves me .. im really confuse..i love him.
