Frustrated

My girlfriend is Schizophrenic. And I am having a hard time dealing with it. Sometimes she is very sweet and kind and affectionate. Other times she is moody and distant.

For example, last Saturday she invited me to see a movie with her at the mall. I met her there and we went shopping.
Then suddenly and unexpectedly she said she wanted to see the movie alone. That meant me taking a hike.
I asked her if she was mad about something and she said she was uncomfortable and wanted to be by herself.
To me, that is not a sufficient explanantion. Something had to have made her suddenly change our plans.

So I went to my car and she stood outside the mall. I had her bag in my car so she wanted me to pull up and give it to her.
When I got to her, she asked me suspiciously if everything was in it. WTF? Why would I want to steal anything from her bag?
She's accused me of stealing her meds from her before.

I am intolerant of this behavior. Am I wrong or should I give her a break for doing what she does?

If you're intolerant maybe you should just break up with her. Her behavior isn't right but she's schizophrenic, if she's on meds already, the problem isn't going to immediately change.

Weight the problem out, is it worth dealing with possibly for a long time? Or isn't it? Better yet--is she worth it?

I do agree tho, its kinda messed up.

Her behavior is a result of her illness, so it's more so her illness that you're intolerant of. "Not a sufficient explanation"...what do you honestly expect from an unstable schizophrenic? Break up.

hello tippy316,

I think your girlfriend needed some treatment. I mean, she should consult some doctor and should take advice from them. Don't get frustrated when she is moody and distant, just listen to her carefully, support her. don't get mad at her. When she is going to do something in unexpected way, don't get confused or anything like that. Just tell her gently, you should be here and after some time we will be at your desired place. Say her, you are with her and be with her.

Just love her and love will make difference in your and her life.
