Affecting your family

I'm just wondering how your diagnoses effects family. My family has been destroyed by all my symptoms which is mainly paranoia. Would love to hear peoples story on how your family copes with your illness.

For me its paranoia, there were times when I thought my family was plotting against me. I come from a good family. My father worked, my mother took care of us. I wasn't an easy child, my mom always told me. She always supported me. Then when I had my first break it started getting bad. I was an addict too so that didn't help. She tried very hard but when my paranoia comes, I come up with scenerios that she can't deal with anymore. That's why I'm so thankful for this site. My mother just forsmnt understand that when she tells me that my scenerio isn't true, I still don't believe her.

Please, if anyone else has family problems due too your illness please post.
