i am on this site because i am worried for someone. i dont realllu understand this site so if someone could just mail me on here cuz i really need some help and i wish i could unerstand this site better. long story short, i dated a guy for almost a year, it was an abusive relationship and i think he my suffer from Schizophrenia. We dont talk anymore and he isnt aloud to come by me anymore and even though he put me through alot i still care about him and i am worried he may do something to him self or someone else. In the start of the year he tried commiting suicide, he didnt succeed thank God. About a month after we started dating he talked about suicide alot, he told be he heard a voice in his head. He rarley bathed and never brushed his teeth. He always wore the same cloths day after day with out washing them. He told me he wouldnt care if his mother or brother died and he couldnt feel happy or sad unless he was with me. He was diognosed with ADHD but refused to take his pills. If i went went a diffrent way in the hall he would scream at me. he told me he needed me and that he was falling apart inside. When we could get in to fights he would often call me, threating to hurt himself. he would also burn him self, cut, choke, bang his head on things. he would often talk about blowing up the school, said he wouldnt care about anyone dying but me. He said he could torture someone and not feel a thing. his mom isnt there for him at all, shes always gone. i just couldnt take care of him anymore and we broke up. i dont know what to do, i know i should have moved on but i have been reading alot about Schizophrenia and i am worried for his health and futur. he wears weird and diffrenrent clothing. he use to always think some one was following him and he lied to me about not being a virgin, trying to shoot himself, beating his dog and mugging poeple. if someone can tell me if it sounds like he may have it and give me advice on it, i would appreciate it alot. if your still reading this God bless you thank you so much.
please help me
Hi someone,
I understand you are concerned for someone who possibly has schizophrenia. You may be worried about his safety, yours and other people's safety, given his behavior and his threats.
You were right to move on from your ex-boyfriend since it sounds like he was abusive to you. You do not know that he will definitely hurt another person. However, the criteria for admission to a psych ward is that someone is a danger to himself or others. It sounds like the ex-boyfriend fits this criteria. If he refuses medication, there's little anyone can do to help treat his schizophrenia, if that is what he does have. At the least, he needs to be evaluated by a psychiatrist. He may have to be committed to a hospital against his will.
His threats to burn the school down should be taken seriously in light of the Virginia Tech murders.
There is little you can do. It appears to me he manipulated you to get you to stay involved with him. As I said, I understand your concern, yet I want you to understand you deserve to have a happy, healthy life.
So I wish you peace of mind.
Regards,
Christina
