To abbreviate and get to the point, there is no doubt that we both love one another beyond what you find in a typical... http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/96426/28272/thing http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/96426/25341/peace Wed, 16 Apr 2008 11:11:00 -0400 Social Worker I've been away from her for about 2 weeks now and able to see things more realistically because I'm able to detach and take my emotions out of the equasion. I see the pragmatic side of it now, a panoramic view.She has had hundreds of deeply disturbing psychotic experiences over the last year that in her delusion, she believes I am responsible for. These will never be erased, forever embedded in her mind. I've been under the... http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/96426/25341/peace http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/96426/23977/roller Wed, 02 Apr 2008 16:49:00 -0400 Social Worker I just shared a post that my fiancee told me to leave the home last night because she did not love me anymore because of all the torment I caused her the last year (psychotic experiences that never happened in real life). I moved out. She just sent me a text message that reads, "I love you Marty." How can someone love a person that they believe has done the most horrific tormenting behaviors to? I've been on a roller coaster for 2... http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/96426/23977/roller http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/96426/23966/pain-worker Wed, 02 Apr 2008 15:03:00 -0400 Social Worker I journaled earlier this morning but I may have not sent it to the site. I am grieving today. After talking to her father's pastor and then later her father, she told me last night that I was evil and had caused all the torment she has experienced over the last year. She told me that she no longer loved me and wanted me to leave. She said that God would punish me for the terror I put her through. Her family placed most of the blame for her... http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/96426/23966/pain-worker http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/96426/22234/fianee-cope Thu, 20 Mar 2008 16:41:00 -0400 Social Worker My fiancee' returned last night from a ski trip out West. It was a terrible experience for her, though she did not self-disclose to her daughter, father or brother. She is afraid to say much to them as she thinks they will respond in such a way that they "think I'm crazy." She said that everyone is reading her thoughts and she feels so violated. They are shocking her body, she is hearing voices and having dialogue... http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/96426/22234/fianee-cope http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/96426/21498/family Fri, 14 Mar 2008 15:52:00 -0400 Social Worker I just posted about the therapist who has not diagnosed my fiancee properly and she continues to go untreated. I have shared the experiences in detail with my fiancee's father and family members. They do nothing to help and seem to refuse to accept she has the disorder. She has also turned her family against me by telling them that I am the leader of the conspiracy to harm her and they have told her to leave me. It seems that I am the only... http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/96426/21498/family http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/96426/21496/ph-6-months Fri, 14 Mar 2008 15:32:00 -0400 Social Worker I am a license social worker and been practicing for 25 years and highly respected for my professionalism. A year ago this month, my fiancee manifested all the symptoms of paranoid schizophenia and they are severe and obvious. They have diminished some in the last 3 months because she is no longer abusing prescription meds but she still hallucinates, hears voices and believes there is a conspiracy to make her go crazy or to steal her money.... http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/96426/21496/ph-6-months
