I don't have schizophrenia myself and never had but my boyfriend does, he's told me about it but we haven't really talked about it, he thinks that if he gets too in depth with it then it might scare me (even though that's very unlikely) and he recently said that he can't let me too close because his problem is playing up a lot and he doesn't want me to get hurt.
I have had mental issues in the past and still struggle a lot with them so I'm not entirely clueless, but I was just wondering if anybody knew how I should go about talking to him about it and how to help him.
He has been schizophrenic for a few years now, he's extremely paranoid, has trouble sleeping and often sees this other guy in his mind, (I don't know if this person is a part of my boyfriend or a different persona all together) when he goes through his psychotic episodes I really don't know what to do, he says me just being there helps him but I feel I can do so much more, but what?
