Today, due to a health insurance mix up, my schizophrenic girlfriend has been off her meds for a little over a week. She's convinced I can read her mind, and if I don't stop "pretending" she'll slit my throat in my sleep. Her medication won't be available for at least another two weeks. FML

Eganstein tells us more.

Just an update, she is in the hospital doing better, and my throat is in tact. And for everyone telling me to leave her, its not gonna happen

Take her to the e.r. They have to give her medication when it is this serious

911! Urgent care! Psychiatric Emergency! Pick one! Death threats should not be taken lightly! Seriously, call 911! the hospital will have her meds.

Wtf is wrong with your health care system!? And also, what's wrong with the people telling OP to break up with her? She's probably fine as long as she's on her meds. It's a hard disease, but not everyone who has it are crazy lunatics. Esp not if they just get their meds. FYL and her life for having such shitty health care system!

We don't have a healthcare system, we have to wait till 2014.

This is what is so creepy about these kind of diseases. Anyone can get it and it can turn you into anything you never were. I work with a lot of schizophrenic and psychosis suffering patients. One was about to become a doctor, another one was a historian, another one a doctor in biology (not sure how to name it correctly).. Very bright and 'normal' people, but they ended up with only their bodies, some memories and a little bit of happiness left. Or you could turn into a murderer. It can happen to anyone, no matter what kind of a person you are.

I think it's amazing that you love her anyways. I would think most people would try to avoid her, it's nice to see someone who isn't that shallow.

Take her to a mental hospital and try to get her meds in a month in advance so if there is another screw up, you will have a month to get it straightened out.

You NEED to get the medicine for her. One of the girls I knew from high school was murdered after graduation because her brother was off his schizophrenia meds. He stabbed her and threw her out a window and he stabbed and killed his mother. NO ONE should have to go through that.

Make sure you dump her after her meds come back on

She is really lucky to have you. I don't know many guys that would stay with a girl like that you must really like her. You are a good guy. :)

Dude, it's a nice thing that you're sticking out for her because you know that isn't who she is... but get her to a hospital or call an ambulance or the police or at least just move out for a couple weeks. Your life is kind of being threatened
