So me and my fiance broke up after the hallucinations started. He didn't believe me when I told him what was happening to me, he thought I was doing it for attention. I'm really upset, I always told him everything and I thought he would be the number one person to understand. Makes me never want to tell anyone. I'm surprised he left me when I was in such a fragile state. The hallucinations have gotten ALLOT better with the medication, I haven't noticed anything unusual in the past month (knock on wood). I have a job interview this week in NYC, but I'm feeling so down I hope I can fake a smile or actually really enjoy being in the city. Things have been so rough guys.

Are you also on antidepressants? My daughter, who deals with hallucinations (along with voices) also struggles with depression. If this is setting that has gone on for a while, you may want to ask your pdoc about it. :hug

that is a drag that your fiancé abandoned you when you were most vulnerable. I am glad your meds are helping and I really hope you get the job. hang in there.

Although it was painful for him to leave you, I have to say you dodged a bullet there. Being married to someone who accuses you of doing things "for attention" when it's actually really happening to you is horrible. It becomes a source of rage to never be believed and to be accused of lying. It really does cause you to shut down and it's heart breaking to feel you can't rely on the one person who is supposed to be there for you. It just makes you feel completely worthless.

So, it may be cliche, but you're really better off without him. Because those people will also tell you you're faking it when you're really sick. They'll only believe it when a doctor tells them and then still not fully believe it....

Do you see a therapist? Perhaps some talk therapy will help. Sometimes having someone to talk it out with who listens, believes, but is not attached to you emotionally is extremely helpful.

Thanks. Yeah I see a psychologist and a psychiatrist and have been doing so much better with them.
