psychic or psychotic or something else?

No way. She's in absolute denial and does not want to go near any psych doctor.

It's such a tricky thing. I understand what you're saying. Her mother would be the ideal person to know since they're quite close, and she would be discreet. However, her mother had two psychotic episodes in her life, and I am fearful that this news would be bad for her. I think she needs additional support from her mother in particular, but I'm not sure if it's safe to tell her mother.

Are you sharing any information with her that you learn on this site? It took my husband to tell me I must be Scitzo and that he couldn't handle it my psychosis much longer, for me to start looking up information. When I read information on psychosis and Scitzoaffective/scitzophrinic disorder, I was in shock. I finally realized something was wrong with me and I needed help. It didn't change my psychosis and my altered reality until I was put on antisicotic drugs. I would imagine the Mom may be able to help with insight sense she had been through something similar. Keep us posted!

Thanks. There's the thing:
If I told her I couldn't handle it because she's psychotic, she would simply leave, because she doesn't want to cause me pain. If I told the mother, she will probably leave because I went behind her back again.

I left a few times as well, it wasn't good because I was driving iraticaly and could of really hurt myself. I left because I didn't want to hurt my family by seeing me like that. I guess just give her support until y'all do see dr. Something that helped me was when I would see something (the stars moving and looking like drones) my husband would look at what I was talking about and would clarify what I was seeing. He would say "you are seeing the stars. They are not drones watching you." He would point out the different constellations until I calmed down. I get a lot of auditory hallucinations, I hear things that sound like footsteps, doors closing, ect. My husband would say "yes it's the boys coming in or no ones hear I don't think your hearing footsteps." This of course was all prior to being put on the antisicotic drug. Thinking of y'all! It might really help pushing water and trying to clans the body to get that medicine out.

Today was significant. She began questioning things and said she wants an MRI because she thinks something is wrong. I was even able to share the information about psychosis with her and she didn't freak out, but she says that she refuses to be admitted to a psychiatric hospital. She is preventing the weird head movements, by consciously holding her head in place (because she says that she knows it freaks me out). She is having doubts about her spiritual awakening. I have heard almost no communication between her and her spirit today (but again this may be for my benefit).

She has agreed that tomorrow we'll go to get her checked out. I have a feeling things are improving. This forum and the LEAP method helped get us to where we are now. Tomorrow will be key in moving forward.

Oh good! I wouldn't take her to a psychiatric hospital either. keep us posted and please let your girlfriend know that we are here and if she has questions or just wants to vent we are all here to support one another!

Well, I was told by her shrink not to take her to ER because there's a risk that, if she became upset, they would hospitalize her against her will. So, no ER.

Instead I am looking for a psychiatrist that will give a second opinion. She really wants to see a neurologist, because she thinks that's the source of the problem.

This will drag out the time before she'll see someone by days if not weeks.

It could be neurological and it's important to rule that out....if it's not he'll refer her to a psychiatrist....she might respect it more from a doctor....

Perhaps. In any case, getting her seen will likely take time.
