The past few days Andy has been distant and just not himself. I ask him if he's ok and he says he's fine. He refuses to talk to me.

The other night I had to hold him till he went to sleep because he was so upset about the way he looks and surprisingly he opened up a little about it.

Well, when Andy got home from partial today he seemed a bit...quiet. If you knew Andy, you'd know quiet was not a word that was in his vocabulary unless something was bothering him. I know something is seriously wrong and he's not the type to talk about it no matter how many times I ask.

He also seems more fragmented than usual. Sure, his thinking is usually fragmented to a point, but it seems to be worse today. Like he was on the phone talking to his mom and she's sending us some DVD's in the mail. Well, I asked him what movies like 2 seconds after he asked....and he seemed so flustered and stumbled over his words trying to get out "I don't remember."

Andy is a severe schizoaffective. He has to have his meds and everything. When he gets bad or goes off his meds he gets nearly catatonic. When he's like that the only words he's able to say is "yeah" or "uh-huh." And that's in response to everything you say or ask him. Like if you ask him a question such as "how was your day" he'll say "yeah."

I just am afraid he's getting bad again and I don't want that.

as long as your boyfriend stays on his meds I am sure that he will be fine. It would probably be a good idea to ask him what is bothering him off and on, eventually he will probably open up more. If he does start to get worse is there anyone you can call?...

Hope everything gets better,

Why is he concerned about the way he looks?



And what Jason said.

Good luck.

He used to be really buff before he was in a car accident years ago and now he's a little on the scrawny side. He wants to have his 6-pack back, his big muscular legs, etc.

Is he paralyzed by any chance?

[Lexicon78]

no, not paralyzed
