Hi OliviaTS,
Thank you for your post and I'm sorry to hear about your boyfriend and what he's been going through- or what you've both been going through really. It sounds like it's been really hard.
I want to jump in and reassure you that you did the right thing in making this decision. With psychosis, his reality changed- and there's every possibility that if it wasn't for you and the decisions that you've made things could be a lot worse for him right now.
The other really good thing here is that you got him help early, which means that he has a better chance of recovery. People with psychosis can and do recover.
What sort of support do you have while going through this? How are you taking care of yourself?
I'm going to link to a couple of different resources here-
Sane help with more complex mental illnesses including psychosis so it might be really helpful to use their phone, email or webchat (all free)-
Information about ways to contact them > https://www.sane.org/services/help-centre
They also have forums for friends/family that have more threads about psychosis here, as well as talking about relationships and taking care of yourself > https://saneforums.org/t5/Friends-Family-Carers-Forum/ct-p/carers-forum
Hope this helps, take care
