Need ways to help my girlfriend
My girlfriend (we are in a long-distance relationship and live in two different countries) is currently in a psychiatric ward. She has schizoaffective disorder. I’m the one who encouraged her to call emergency services and get help when things got out of hand and I realized I couldn’t help enough on my own.
She is currently on 150 mg of clozapine. She had been taking it for a long time and told me she had been stable for quite a while, until her doctor decided to switch her from clozapine to another antipsychotic.
I’m trying my best to be supportive because I really love her. Right now, she keeps saying she is tired of all of this — the voices, the anxiety, everything. I understand hallucinations and delusions because I’ve experienced them myself, as I’m also diagnosed with schizophrenia.
My question is: how can I help her more?
