Hey there, i’m new on here and kinda
need some help…
basically me and my family have come to
the conclusion that my boyfriend is going
through some problems, and I don’t think
he realises that he may have a disorder of
some kind? I know there are a few topics
on this but I just have to make sure..
Ok he believes/thinks that:
- everyone is ‘twisted’ and can’t be
trusted. He can tell whether or not
someone is evil just by looking at them
for 2 seconds. By looking into people’s
eyes can see what they’re like,
they’re eyes are like a deep hole, or
looking down whilst stood on the edge of a
cliff.
- he was born to help people, take away
the pain and suffering of the world, heal
people who are ‘messed up’ and have
problems, just by wrapping himself around
them but not literally, with what he
explained to be maybe his spirit or
wings.. That there is a line: people who
are born good on one side, people who were
born purely evil the other, then the
balanced in the middle. He believes he is
on the good side. He thinks about this
every night, and suffers from lack of
sleep.
- when he looks in the mirror it doesn’t
feel as if it’s himself staring back.
- sometimes finds it hard to make
conversation with me, and will just say
he’s ok just in deep thought but looks
withdrawn and as if he’s daydreaming?
- thinks I deserve better, i’m too good
for him, and he can’t see why I like
him.
- sometimes he’s really affectionate and
can be possessive and obsessive, and then
he changes and puts me down making feel
stupid, and becomes withdrawn.
- he has this reoccurring vision or
something along those lines, and has
really bad dreams that he won’t describe
to me but says they aren’t nightmares.
That’s about it, well what I know of.
I don’t know what it could be, but I
thought it may be something along the
lines of schizophrenia or bipolar
disorder; they seem pretty similar to me
from what i’ve read? It’s a bit long
but some help would be awesome and well
appreciated.
Thanks :)

The best thing you can do is to continue
to encourage help. Which I realize may be
hard to do considering his thinking
patterns. It's possible it could be
bipolar, some of his thoughts sort of fit
into mania but the only way to really know
is to have a professional diagnose him.
Sorry that wasn't much help.

Hi pulmonary archery,
it sounds to me like your boyfriend has at
least three of the personality disorders.
It's common for them to co-occur. I
disagree that he has bipolar or
schizophrenia.
Firstly, his notion that people can't be
trusted and that he can tell whether a
person is good or evil by looking in their
eyes sounds to me like paranoid
personality disorder.
Secondly, his idea that he was born to
take away the pain and suffering of the
world and the the opposite idea that you
deserve better and are too good for him
are classic sign of narcississtic
personality disorder. This is the one I
feel most strongly about. Contrary to
the name, people with this disorder have
very damaged self-esteem.
The last disorder I would suggest is
schizoid, possibly from how he looks in
the mirror and doesn't feel it's himself
staring back.
It's quite easy to find info on the
personality disorders. Just google
them.
