What can I do about friend?

[Theodoreb]

I have schizoaffective disorder, my friend lies a lot I have overheard her telling her cpn my stories of being unwell and saying they were her stories, now they put her on seroquel she has actually started acting bipolar since being put on it for the first time in her life (ive known her since we were 8) she cannot tolerate it her liver function test meant they had to take her of it and put her on abilify. She is always lying and telling doctors my symptoms and some of them are so unique that they can't be mistaken I feel she needs to be given the right treatment which is not bipolar tablets but therapy for why she feels the need to lie, (she also lies about many other things if there is anything wrong with you she's got it too) like I have copd and she was claiming to also have that despite having no inhalers. She needs help not a load of bipolar meds that are going to mess up her life and are making her act erratic I assume because she's messing with chemicals in her brain that don't need it. I stopped telling her about my illness after the first time I heard her repeat my symptoms to a doctor but unfortunately she already knew a lot.

You need to distance yourself from this friend, she's like someone with what used to be called Munchausen's Disorder where people make up illness for gain.
That gain can be for medical attention or for financial reasons or both.
Either way she sounds like a bad friend, a user & very odd.

If she has a CPN then there will be a valid reason, it's very difficult to be allocated one!

Speak to your own CPN about how you are feeling.

@Tehmina23 that's what I think is wrong or at least something like that. But I want to help her as I still believe she needs help just not the help she's getting.

@Hayeahnobut she has a cpn after telling doctors my sometimes unique symptoms are her own, for example I have a very unique manifestation of psychosis I have grandiose delusions and hear voices I believe is god that make me believe I am really a angel who when raped means the rapist will suffer eternal torment for raping me and be unable to rape anyone else again. I have heard with my own ears her telling her cpn this is happening to her, when she thought I was asleep as I was unwell so she had sent me to bed. She says other symptoms of mine she has too some just as unique to me. Do you realize how rare it is for two peoples psychosis to manifest identically like that? Plus she has never mentioned to me she suffers the exact same psychosis as me to me she simply says she is psychotic when I ask her what's going on she says she can hear whispers but she can't make out what they are saying.

But moot point I cannot talk to a cpn anymore as since my illness developed into schizoaffective as opposed to bipolar 1 I am now under the care of psychiatrist only and see him more frequently as opposed to seeing him less and a cpn frequently.

Another example is when I am unwell she stays over to help (which I appreciate greatly and I am not angry I just want her to get the right help) she tells cpn she isn't sleeping more than a hour yet as I've been up all night for weeks I know for a fact she has been sleeping at least 8 hours she tells outright lies and another example is she claims to cpn to have had a affair while staying with me when I know she hasn't as she has been with me all the time.

I have stopped letting her see me when I am unwell to stop her getting symptoms to tell her cpn, but I did it too late I am not angry at her I still believe she deserves help but I don't believe that having the wrong treatment for symptoms she is not experiencing is going to help her.
