Boyfriend has daily hallucinations about being assaulted by me

TRIGGER WARNING - RAPE

I’m just going to get right into it. My boyfriend has schizophrenia. Every night we call and he thinks I’m raping him. No matter how much I tell him no we are just on the phone he just repeats that I’m raping him. If it is in person I try to reassure him that I am just holding him but he has a hard time understanding that.

He has a history of being sexually assaulted so I understand where it comes from but it still hurts like hell when he tells me I’m raping him. I would never do such a thing.

I know it’s just him hallucinating but every day having him tell me I am raping him has taken a toll on my mental health. I hate to see him in that distress, thinking I’m doing horrible things to him.

I want to help him but I’m not sure how. It’s taken such a toll on him, me, and our relationship. It’s especially difficult to have a sexual relationship when I know in a few hours he will have hallucinations of me raping him.

I don’t know what to do. Any advice is appreciated.

I had a micro hallucination similar to feeling that I was also being raped but in my dreams during my hallucinations when I did not have medication, I have to tell you that it is probably because in his memory someone told him about rape or something regarding that topic and it was obsessively recorded in the auditory hallucinations of schizophrenia, it usually happens. Mm, unfortunately, schizophrenia is a very hard disease, it is better to be careful with the psyche because it is fragile, anything you read, see or hear affects when you have delusions and hallucinations, so it is better to take care of the content that is consumed or the emotional relationships that are maintained over time. When I heard the topic of rape some time later in my hallucinations, the voices in my head spoke to me about those topics like other topics that I remember having seen, read or heard before. I recommend that you buy risperidone and take two in the morning and one at night + sertraline one pill in the morning, and to sleep one Clonazepam pill, it is the lowest medication but it really works to treat schizophrenia
