It's important for psychotic people to have a personal support system. It can consist of family. It can be made up of friends and acquaintances. They're all individuals that are vital to one's stability. Unfortunately, psychotic symptoms can make these relationships difficult if not impossible to maintain.
It's a catch 22. The very thing psychotic people need support for is the very thing that can run supportive people away. It often happens as a direct result of persecutory delusions. The people in the support system may end up getting accused of mistreating the psychotic person so frequently that they simply can't withstand the endless false accusations.
The sad and unfortunate truth that psychotic individuals have to accept is that they can't fault their supportive friends from either wanting space or having the desire to cut ties permanently. Regardless of whether or not the psychotic person is at fault, they have to accept that they weren't being very friendly toward their personal support system.
The only option psychotic people have is to give people their desired space and hope for the best.
