I am so scared

[Operalady]

Please I am reaching out. I am so sad worried I just want to die! My brother is accusing me of conspiring against him. In the past he has been treated with meds for paranoia and anxiety. He came through it and remembers how the meds helped his thinking. My husband recently got very angry with him over not bringing food to share . My husband said unkind things and since then my brother has gotten paranoid thoughts again. Along with the covid stay at home just makes things worse. He lives along and I worry so much. What can I do to get him to get help again.? Please police do not know how to deal with mental illness and I am afraid if he gets worse he’ll get shot! I do not know what to do or say without making him worse. Before all this he had a terrible drug problem but is on methadone for years. Why isn’t it helping with his paranoia! I am so worried upset my sister and mom are both alcoholics. Older brother and younger brother both drug addicted. Older brother deceasedi just want to die!

I am sorry to hear all this Operlady, and i can feel how rough things would have been with you.. if the current medications are not working for your brother that means his body has adapted to the dose and you need to see a health expert who would either alter the dose or change medications. Your brother needs counselling and other treatment strategies along with medications.

In my life the one thing that really helped was my music and music group! Soon we will get together again I hope! So our passions that we have are a must ! They are ours and have nothing to do with other people. I am talking to myself too! Wish you good feelings and strength!
