How I fell in love with a girl suffering from schizophrenia

in #story7 years ago

In my student years I met a very nice creature. Not a girl, but a dream: she was very beautiful, well-read and bold. I love eccentric people: they are not bored with them. My girlfriend was just that ... eccentric.

We did not have a flower-candy period, since a month after the meeting they began to rent an apartment. We lived together, we prepared together for the sessions, both worked part-time. But the strangest thing began when we began to live together.

Case in the store

In the evening, went with her shopping in the supermarket. Have typed a basket of products. I went to the meat department, the girl went for bread. Chose sausage and ... lost it. Just lost in the store. I start to call her, she does not answer. Was scared in earnest. I'm standing like a fool with a basket of food. Do not spread the same ... Selling products home, and she's there. Already changed and sits tea is drinking. She was frightened of my appearance. And I was very frightened of her strange reaction. While I was washing my hands, she was already beginning to mess around in the kitchen: she set the table. Word for word, but she does not remember that we were in the store and began to convince me that I immediately went home from work. I did not even know what to think about this ...

Further more

After a couple of weeks, one evening, we go down the alley in the evening. Met a friend. We stopped, we communicate, and the girl again disappeared somewhere. And all in the old scenario: the tube does not take. I was frightened terribly. Run home, but she's gone. All this time she called her. Approximately on the 20th call, she picked up the receiver:

  • Who is it? (it was my girl who picked up the phone)
  • It's me!
  • Who am I"?
  • Come back home.
  • I do not remember where I live.
  • And where are you?
    "Among the trees." The park, probably.
    "Stay put, now I'll find you!"

Another half hour ran along the avenue. I barely found her. Went to the other end of the alley.

Disease

For the next couple of months she was lost twice more. It seems close, but in a moment it does not exist. I contacted the parents of the girl and told everything. They took it right away. The study was covered, the work was covered ... everything was covered by her.

For the first time observed a mental disorder in a person, and progressing: the further, the more often and more strongly. After the next attack, she came to herself about a day. She asked several times about who she was, who I was, where she was ... Full disorientation. Parents of the girlfriend said that psychiatrists made a disappointing diagnosis: schizophrenia. I twice asked to come and see her, but they forbade it. She had strong attacks from strong emotions. And only then I remembered that the day before the incident in the shop, my former girlfriend at work had a conflict with the boss, and the day before the walk through the alley she began to prepare intensively for the session.

It's terrible, when you can not help your loved one. Since then I did not go on dates anymore. So I live alone. Every evening is like the previous one ... I do not watch TV shows, I do not drink, I do not play ... I do absolutely nothing in the evenings. I return home from work and go to bed. Sometimes I can not sleep for several hours, sometimes I fall into a dream at once. One evening is replaced by another. Worst of all at the weekend: nothing you want to do. Began to hate the weekend. I look forward to the beginning of the working week, when you can all thoughts "switch" to work. I like being among people, but I do not want to communicate with anyone really.

That's interesting. Did you ever have a moment where your friend didn't realises you and was scared about the "strange" person in her house?
I directly thought about this situation. It would really scare me due to the missing knowledge what to do. Didn't you were scared partly by this?
