My boyfriend and I are getting an apartment together in three months and I wanted to know what steps I can take to maybe help and be more understanding of these things. I care a lot about him and he's one of the very few people I can trust so it's important to me that I can help him and make him feel like he can rely on me when he's having a difficult day. He's paranoid schizophrenic and on the milder end of the spectrum. Any advice would be helpful or if you have personal experience maybe explain how it effects you and how you deal with it. I'm thankful for all feedback.
