I've always been pretty honest with bf. So today i txt him my last secret. I came clean about the voice in my head,the 1 that always tries to break us up (and has succeeded 3 times) the risperidone shut her up,but she showed up today anyway,and was upset that i outed her. Point to post? All i did was worry the poor man,and cried for hours b/c i thought he didn't want me anym0re (he spoke to my sis so N0W i know the truth) i just spent hours crying over a break-up that never happened... I don't even know why i'm posting this BS...

Awww Trippin!! *hugs* ... I know that feeling!! Sometimes I keep some of my "secrets" to myself but feel awful when something happens and my hubby is clueless.

I think it took guts and love to say that to your bf and I think in the long run, he will love you and appreciate you for it!!

I am sure everything is ok now and maybe now you have an added support for your secret fear that you didn't even count on having!!

I know that feeling all too well. :[ Sadly the only thing of comfort I can possibly offer you is a hug.
By the way, I don't think your post is BS. It's better to get things like these off of your chest. Thanks for sharing <33

Well, you should be happy that the break-up never happened, eh?

Trippin...

I told my long term bf about the voices and seeing things after quite a while of being together. Then I thought why the hell did I do that. Sooo ashamed and mortified. He was taken back by it, and scared. He did stick around, and he is not scared anymore, he tries to understand. I still feel ashamed sometimes, but I try to be honest with him about it, and he tries to listen better and be a shoulder for me.

All I am saying is I understand. I hope with some time you'll start to feel a bit better about this. I also hope that maybe now you will be able to have a little extra support in that area. Try not to beat yourself up over it tho.

Thanks but i think it was a futile exercise. While my bf has always been supportive,he's withdrawn now because he doesn't want me to be too dependent on him. He wants me to be self-sufficient. I just think he's cold and unfeeling... But then again,idk if thats my thought or 'hers'...

It's very hard, whether as patient or caregiver, to cope with a mental illness. Maybe it would help to meet with bf and t/pdoc to allow your bf to express his feelings and have his questions answered.

I am glad you haven't swallowed those pills, but I think the fact that you are considering it means that you need to see t/pdoc for yourself too.
