mrg123 agony auntI think she does, shes just having trouble coping. After all, I really wouldn't still come round and have sex with somebody I had been involved with but didnt still have feelings for. Sex is something you can get elsewhere without the complicated emotional baggage so ye, because you have been involved i doubt shed continue seeing you if there was nothing there.

Good they are doing something, I really hope they can put your ex away.

I dont know about if she still loves me.

The police are looking for her to arrest her. She broke my rib the week before but they need more evidance to prove the two times she assulted me sexualy.

mrg123 agony auntI think she could well still love you. Another thing she may be struggling to come to terms with is what happened to you. It was against your will, I know that, but you had sex with somebody else and she maybe finding it to deal with that. On an intellectual level she knows this was because you were forced but there is a gap between understanding something intellectually and accepting it emotionally sometimes if that makes sense?

I think she does still love you but shes just having a hard time dealing herself. Id try to avoid pushing her and let what will be, be on that score. Are the police doing anything about sorting this out other than looking into it?

Tisha-1 agony auntAh. My guess is that your girlfriend is scared and confused by the entire situation and is trying to be there (as she physically just was) but doesn't have the maturity and coping skills to handle it. I expect, at your age and with your diagnosis, that you don't quite have those yet either.

My best advice is to stop worrying about her and focus on yourself and the healing process. Let the police do their job and you relax into the therapeutic process. Let go of trying to predict the future for now.

Perhaps just talking instead of having sex would be best for now. Tell your girlfriend that you are feeling vulnerable and concerned and need her to be as supportive as she can of you, but that she may be also be feeling worried and concerned herself, so you will do your best to let her express her own feelings. Victims of assault often have some post-traumatic stress and if you are under the care of a psychiatrist for schizophrenia, you have your own additional set of challenges.

Relax, allow the events to unfold. You are young still and have a whole life ahead of you. Just participate fully in your treatment for now, tell your psychiatrist about your worries and fears and then let them wash from you for now.

What will be, will be, as the old song says. You have plenty of time to find out.

No I am living in the apartments on the hospital site so its independent of the hospital but its still on the hospital site. It's for people making the transition from the mental heath ward back into the community. My psychiatrist put me here until my ex is arrested for her abuse towards me as she broke into my house and assuleted me for the third time.

mrg123 agony auntIts impossible to tell from this - obviously you have alot going on in your life and are going through some really difficult things. My best guess is your girlfriends confused by the current situation and, especially if she is a similar age, may be struggling with conflicting emotions herself. It's possible she feels she can't handle it especially if she's not got much support herself. I am sure she does still care for you and love you but the question is not that but whether she feels she can handle being with you.

Where does that leave you? I think it leaves you having to work on yourself and stabilising your own situation to be honest; part of doing that may well be a heart to heart with your girlfriend and asking her how she is feeling and trying to get a better idea of where she stands.

Other than that you need to make sure you are getting the help and support you need from your family and friends network. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it - it sounds like you have the right support from people like your psychiatrist. Remember your not alone, there are people out there going through similar stuff and more importantly there are people there who will be there for you. Good luck and keep us updated :).
