[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][url][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not as a parent, but as a girlfriend: he began to hear voices, would read into things in a very paranoid way, would accuse me and our friends of plotting against him. Thought random people he would encounter in public were conspiring against him. He also was smoking weed and that obviously did not help. [/quote]

I just posted, but these sound more like red flags than the previous post. I am sure that must have been incredibly stressful to experience as the girlfriend.[/quote]

Thank you. He was such a sweet guy and I really loved him, but slowly began to realize that it was possible that he would end up killing me. It’s been a couple of decades now but I still worry about him from afar  :( [/quote]

My ex high school and college BF had a mom with schizophrenia and also developed it later. He started disappearing, dropping out of things, missing work, was paranoid and fixated. He drank very heavily. He died in his early 40s. It was very very sad.[/quote]

Were there any signs while you were dating prior to the acute onset? Did he seem completely normal” in HS and college?[/quote]

No, in retrospect. He frequently broke up with me and would go silent. He would ostracize himself from his family. He would live in his car for periods of time in college when we weren’t dating. He was brilliant and fun and I was really naive.[/quote]
