Hey there!

I'm actually new to all this and decided to join so I could have someone to talk to about everything I have going on. For starters, I'm a 20 year old female with a 3 year old daughter. I work, in college, etc. all that good stuff and recently about 4 months ago engaged into a serious relationship with a man whom has ...

Many here have had to break off a relationship with a narc. I can see that NC seems to be the only way to do this but what about the break up talk.

Advice? Keep it brief? It's not you, it's me?

I have to do this but I know he will fight it tooth and nail. We will argue and I will end up banging my head against the wall or he will 'cry' ...

Hello everyone,

I'm new here and am hoping for some opinions. I have been struggling with my husband for a long time now. We have been together for almost 10 years, married for 3 and we have a 1 year old little boy who is absolutely amazing and a dog. We currently live in a different state than we both grew up in and we live near no family or friends. He claims to not ...

Hello,
I have a friend who's schizophrenic. He doesn't drink at all and stays away from weed for he believes his state could improve if he stopped doing these things. But recently I've visited him and saw he was very obviously stoned. He had difficulties with focusing on the conversation and was speaking in a confusing way. I know him long enough to see when it's the medication and when it's something else. Not only ...

It's my first time ever to go to a forum for help...never done the tech thing too much...didn't even know what a "thread" was. Reading a great book but guess I need faster practical ideas from the world. I will try to be brief, but everyone is so unique that you just want to go into every detail! My aunt, uncle and mom suffer varying degrees of mental health issues and come from who-knows-what but ...

***moving this topic to significant others, family & friends as it has to do with a friend with bipolar. i will leave a shadow topic in place so that you can benefit from the support of both forums


Around Christmastime I meant someone who's very important to me, and had a had a really strong impact on my life for the past couple of months.

My friend is Bipolar, originally back round December we were ...

Hi everyone. This is my first post on these forums, and I figured it would be a good way to get more information and see what other people think about the situation that I currently find myself in.

I've been with his guy for a little 2 years. We broke up one time over the summer last year when I initiated a break up, but got back together 2 months later. Yesterday, I decided to ...

I am in a relationship with Earl. I love him dearly. But, he is not managing his money very well since he "fired" his last mental health agency's payee. I am going to ask him if he would be willing to have me as his payee. Will he hate me eventually? Has anyone had a successful relationship with a partner when they have become their payee?

**this post is being moved to significant others, family & friends with a shadow topic left in schizophrenia so that you can get the support of both forums

My brother and sister (in their 40s and early 50s, respectively) have both had schizophrenia for the past 23 years. They are both on medication and live on their own in their own apartments but don't work. My mother, now 82, has been their main source of ...
