How do I date someone who is schizophrenic? I'm going on

Depends on comorbidity mental health issues (bipolar? borderline?) and if he is currently having an episode.

He is currently on meds, no episode as far as I know. Neither borderline or bipolar.
They are still trying to find a more accurate diagnosis, however.

If he trusts you then it will not be a problem. If he is given a reason not to trust you then a downward spin could happen.

I had a gf a long time ago who had schizophrenia. On one particularly long, exhausting weekend she dressed up as a nun and sat in the middle of a circle of knives stuck in the front lawn. She was channeling electrical/spiritual energies. The paramedics needed to transport to psych ward (once again). She had been up for days talking non-stop about every conspiracy theory you can imagine. We broke up pretty soon after that episode. Just couldn't deal anymore. I hear she's doing alright nowadays.

Schizophrenia is not fun, OP. My brother struggles with it, he has OK times when he's on his meds and life is treating him relatively well, but the bad times can be really, really bad. It's pretty much impossible for him to hold down jobs, relationships, and friends. I love the guy and I'm not ever gonna turn my back on family, but I sure as hell wouldn't invite this misery into my life if I had a choice. I hope you know what you're getting yourself into.

And I should add to this that some of the worst episodes in his life have been brought on by women he was dating/trying to date. It wasn't even their fault, he just isn't really equipped to handle the emotional highs & lows, doubts and insecurities caused by romance. He kinda went into stalker-mode one time, it got scary, and it was a lot of work to get him back out of that place
