my best friend has schizophrenia, i was the first one who knew. we promised each other that we'll fight this together, but days ago, she texted me '' once you had a friend like me but not anymore, one day you'll wake up and won't find me among you, so just leave me alone, i don't want you anymore''. till now she refuses to see me or talk to me. i know she is serious but i want to know if her condition has a relation with this, i want to know if i should stay or do as she says. i am so stressed because of this. i am confused and i don't know what to do.

It depends. Did you have some type of disagreement? Or is this just all of a sudden for no reason?

Isolation is one of the symptoms of schizophrenia. I think one of the causes if you become paranoid and suspicious of the people around you. Do you know any of her delusions? It could have been anything from an innocent comment to a behavior that could suddenly get her thinking you've done something.

I don't have schizophrenia or anything.

I do similar things sometimes though, I don't trust people, I think they are working with the sleeper cells, so I don't want to see them.

I would leave if for a bit, then try to text or call.

maybe its just a phase shes going through

i had in idea of staying in my apartment for over a year untill i get off probation

cuase i had uncontrollable thoughts that if i went out and did anything or hang out with one of my two friends i would get in trouble and go back to jail.

im sure u dont understand what im trying to say becuase either do i.

thanks for reading. goodluck !

I think you should let her decide, let her know you are available if she changes her mind, but if she says to stay away, listen and honor the request. This is a tough one, a person who has Schizophrenia changes in ways that they cannot control at times. Is she getting the help she needs? Do you know any of her family that you could talk to?

she is getting help, we were just fine! i knoweverything about her condition but all of a sudden she decided to quick me out of her life.

If you know another of her family members tgat you could contact just to make sure she stays safe. Sounds like she MIGHT be getting symptomatic? Is that what you tjink? Since you know her and her disorder? I have a friend with it too and can tell when she is getting symptomatic.

Maybe she just wants to be left alone. I feel like that a lot, well all the time and i just dont want to see people, because seeing them reminds me of the life I dont have. Living with sz is very very hard. You might get an understanding of the basics by reading about it or her having told you, but I know for certain there is some feelings that are impossible to get across. Maybe she tried and you (not on purpose!) didnt understand and that pisses her off.

Im not a jealous type, but seeing people living without this stress and talking about irrelevant stuff (to me almost everything is irrelevant) really messes me up and makes me want to be alone.

if she wants me there, if she needs me, if she cries n no body was there to wipe her tears, she'll get disappointed just because i left. i am so confused n so hurt. i knw that i don't have the right to be hurt but it is so painful to see her like that without being able to help. i wish it was me and not her.

I think the main thing is you want to be there for her. Even if right now she is mad at you, you can still be there for her. You can wait it out. it's very possible that she will suddenly want to talk.

maybe write her a note that just says you are sorry that you've upset her, and you are always there for her if she wants to talk. Only she can answer the question of what happened, really.

I get extremely paranoid about friends and how people are treating me. So, sometimes having them reach back out to me first is the key to healing anything. I know that can be frustrating, but paranoia is not about logic most of the time.
