Mad true, and very well put sakurali. I hope your man does well, and u have a very important and useful virtue... Which is understanding. (Which I also have.) Dealing with a mental illness can literally change your life. It brings obstacles that the majority of the general public cannot relate or empathize with. But, considerin the fact that u gave him a chance and got to know him to a certain extent sheds a positive light on my situation, and others that are goin through something similar. Unfortunately, there is no cure for sz (or other mental illness) Even though medication can help some, its like a mechanic fixin a damaged vehicle. They fix one thing, but create a problem or two in the process. Even tthough you stated that your relationship might not last, the fact that you actually invested the time and effort to make it work, is more than I can say for a lot of ppl. I hope your bf can improve his sz to a point where he can function good enough to live a better life. Thanks 4 sharing!
