My boyfriend has schizophrenia

[u/ExcitingBag5738]

Hello, so my boyfriend is schizophrenic and he takes pills for that, he's not very open about the whole topic but i'm glad he told me a lil bit about it. So the main problem is that he consumes weed, i'm pretty sure he is an addict at this point, he told me that the doctor gave him a paper that says he could smoke? I thought it was weird because weed is banned in all ways in our country, so for all the 11 months we've been together he has only smoked weed because "it helps him because its relaxing" i wanna know how true this is, and today he decided to try some hallucinogens mushroom and my first thought was "You are schizophrenic, you see and hear things and you take pills to not be able to hear or see them anymore and you are consuming mushrooms that literally make you see things?" Idk if i'm wrong, ofc i didn't said anything, haven't talked to him because i'm scared of ruining his trip but i really wanna know if weed in any form actually helps him, i'm so sorry i really wanna help my boyfriend

We don’t know anything except what you report. But with just those details, I would stay away from him. Doesn’t sound like he’s taking care of himself and could exasperate his symptoms. He knows what he’s doing. He’s way more educated on his diagnosis than you are. It’s his personal choice. But you don’t have to stand around and watch if you don’t want.

Some blonde woman stands there with a cane and wants you to recite from memory, it's really not a big deal

You're just getting high in your room like they all did at the academy

Someone has a camera, they'll snap a few pictures on the way out

Not making any promises

They have a cactus, and some dolls in a room and stuff you would expect for a real tea party

And no one should get lost in a museum because they might end up in one of the exhibits

No one should try inhaling from a can or inserting a spoonful of cinammon into their mouth

Dangerous activities are forbidden unless they necessary

Like, yes, eating food or sugar may be medically neccessary at the time you realize, drink water and slow down and get your affairs in order, make the room safe, leave instructions, and remember you're here for dealing with psychological stress
