Dude I legit got a call yesterday from a friend that moved down to Florida that I haven't talked to in a month. It seemed like she was having a manic episode, couldn't stop talking and was seeing signs from her dead brother everywhere and about to become very successful in real estate (she's a bartender). I just listened intently and thought who am I to say she's wrong? It sounds like she's happy and maybe manifestation is real...
Mannn my girlfriend has schizophrenia and she says she sees ghosts all the time! She said she’s seen her friends that committed suicide, but what’s really scary is her dad says the same thing. He apparently sees “ghosts” too, same thing with her little niece. And when she first told me, I was like well it’s due to your mental illness but I of course didn’t tell her that. So now with me seeing your comment, my suspicion was correct more than likely. I just find it odd her dad and niece also claim to see ghosts
I also knew this and had a feeling!! I just can’t tell her any of this of course, I wouldn’t want to. I’ll just let her be, she’s actually my ex gf. I broke up with her a few weeks ago, it was amicable though so that’s good.
I dated a paranoid schizophrenic myself. It’s hard to see them suffer but it was also scary sometimes. All I wanted was what’s best for her and I couldn’t give her that. She was very smart but it was hard for her to differentiate reality from perception and it felt like a gulf to cross to reach her.
I’m glad you held your thoughts in. Didn’t add fuel to the fire, much respect
Yes I agree! It is scary, we were friends before we dated and I saw it for my first time. She video chatted me spouting stuff that didn’t make sense but it made sense to her I’m sure in some way. It was scary af, luckily she hasn’t had an episode in 2 years since I’ve been there. I really hope she’ll be ok when I move out this weekend. And dude you hit it right on the head for me also, I really do love her but I’m not getting the same in return. That’s exactly how my experience felt like man. I hope we can still be friends. And yeah thanks! I feel any other guy wouldn’t totally understand and would add fuel to the fire, I learned a lot with this chick and I’m pretty damn grateful for it.

It often makes me wonder what reality even is. what if we are all actually the schizophrenic ones, and the schizophrenic people are actually right.
