Hiya, I was in the exact predicament as you are i am bpd/bipolar being assessed at the moment, but I met a guy with schizophrenia, and i can't explain but i felt comfortable around him, and could be my mad self. However where do i start? I met him knew him around, and he told me he woz schizophrenic ( now he says he was diagnosed at 15) but he was a drug dealer a few years and still abuses them (as i do i admit) now i blame them for making me mentally worse.
But anyway i hung round there to chill and basically get drunk and sometimes get more trashed. But first night i met him we woke up in that morning after situation. He was more into me at first, and when i told him that i loved him a few weeks later i think he freaked out, i cared about him and he didnt understand me.
Anyway what i am sayin is you need to be emotionally strong to be with someone like this, and i wasnt. I freaked him out and cant remember it but cut myself in front of him i was trashed. He used to text me saying the person (he has a name for him) was trying to get him and was freaking out.

Trust me i think it is scary for a person with schizophrenia to trust anyone and that is why you should be careful. I wont see him again bcuase with my bpd i need to feel wanted sometimes and saught attention from someone he knows (get drugs off), but what can i say you cant trust anyone!!!!!
not even myself
