My son at it again

He don't want to take meds etc then when he doesn't fill better he complains and sometimes have to be hospitalized. He left today I'm kind of glad I guess he's slipping back into the psychosis etc I'm tired of dealing with it. I'm about to have a mental breakdown myself

Hi, I've talked to you before. I'm so sorry you are having all these issues with your son. I happen to have bipolar disorder myself but I take my meds and I've never messed around with drugs or alcohol and I try to be respectful towards my parents even though they drive me nuts sometimes. I don't have kids and it's just as well I don't because I'm out of work and kids are a big responsibility. I hope he eventually realizes he needs to respect his mom.

Often ppl stop taking meds bc they want to control the disease themselves, they’re truly suffering. It’s hard to see it when you’re clearly suffering too, but he needs empathy and understanding. Someone needs to get him on a regimen that feels good snd works for him. Every once and a while my husband stops his meds and tries holistic things to heal, but it’s an illness and the meds are necessary in the end. Try to be a safe place for your son to go to, and not a place to flee from. I hope you’re able to find peace!

If you look back on Dark's posts you will see it's a lot more complex than that. He is violent and threatening and has been for years. There is only so much anyone can take and there comes a point where you have to let go for your own survival.

No matter how much you love someone you can't allow them to drag you down too to the point of no return. He has had lots of love and understanding from his family but it has come to the point of protecting themselves.

Hi, thanks. And yes I've dragged and still going through it with him. It's so tiresome it agitates me and makes my anxiety and other issues worse. Ugh I just want to be free and alone now. Sorry but not sorry

I have and always have been here for him even when I shouldn't have. I have tolerated a lot I cry a lot I'm sad for my son because I can't fix him..but I can't force anything on him because he's grown now. AND his butt back n here already and guess who paid for the lyft for him to return? ME

I have the exact same problem with my sister. She lives with me and my parents both asked me to watch out for my younger sister before they died. I have been doing my best. She is so far off the rails she thinks I'm just a monster trying to control her every move which couldn't be further from the truth. I feel your pain.

Right now my sister has been off her meds for a month and yet again just waiting for the dust to settle before I begin the clean up all over again. She was caught by CHP and is now in a psychiatric hospital for going on 11 days. It's only a temporary rest.

I know how trying it can be. Let me know if I can somehow help you. We all need support. Message me any time and I'll respond as fast as I get it.
