HI Eva,

I'm sorry you are having trouble understanding this. It must be hard for both of you.

I live with my boyfriend right now, but he is moving back home in a couple weeks because since my schiz has gotten worse, i have had too many problems and we cannot deal with each other right now. he is having a lot of trouble understanding all these problems im having

Well the best thing you can do is to keep doing what you have already started. Read through some of the posts on these forums so you can know what the experience is like.research schizophrenia and Bipolar disorder--oh, i hope i dont sound like a smart aleck, but i think that if he has symptoms of both bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, the diagnosis would be Schizoaffective disorder.

Both illnesses are very complicated. HIs behavior and thoughts and emotions and such are probably very hard/impossible for him to control and very hard for you to understand im sure. There are tons of symptoms that can come along with these illnesses. Maybe you could do some more oline research about them or go to the library. One of the best books on schizophrenia is called "Surviving Schizophrenia" i dont know much about books on bipolar disorder, but im sure you could find a good one, or ask on the Bipolar forum what book they would recommend.

Good luck with everything.
