Besides being impossible to be present (they live abroad), in my case they not only can’t be reasoned with or approached in anyway when they’re delusional but they literally blame us close to them as the ones who are actually persecuting them and making things worse. It’s absolutely crazy, hurtful and these people can be really mean when they believe you’re out to harm them. They say the most outrageous things to hurt us and it does hurt a lot. It’s impossible to deal with this being so close and at the same time trying to be detached. There’s no amount of love that can overcome this situation.

No contact is the best. They can't hurt you then.

Everytime our brother goes into a manic/psychotic episode he send the family the most horrible txt’s, emails and phone calls. We have to pick up the pieces everytime without being able to talk him about it. In his delusional mind he ends up hating different family members and sometimes all of us. It’s terrifying and hurtful.

My younger adult sister has been having persecutory delusions for over 1 year. The hurtful messages she's sent my other sisters and myself are so saddening. It's hard not to take it to heart and it's hard to just see it all unfold. I care about her so much and never in a million years thought something like this could happen to her. She refuses to seek help. In her mind, she's connected up dots to establish logic to her accusations. I miss her, and sadly, my parents aren't the best people to approach the situation.

@logan594 Месяц назад

Yeah I gave up trying to reach out to my sister she makes up horrible lies about family. Refuses help. I’m not going to hold a grudge but it’s literally impossible to do anything unless you can get them committed.

My husband and I stay in prayer, have a supportive medical team and we try our best to encourage our 16 year old to know we are here for her. It's difficult but with treatment it's helping her alot

My uncle just got put in treatment & i pray, that he makes it out of this sickness. It scared me when i seen him before he went in cuz he was mumbling stuff like "I snapped out of it" "I know by whom" & i was just sitting next to him trying to not to let a single tear out

My friend has been going through psychosis for the past few years. He refuses to think what he’s been experiencing is a mental health condition and instead completely believes he’s be persecuted for some spiritual reasons or it’s extraterrestrials trying to do harm to him and the rest of the world and the other thing I’ve heard him talk about is the technology that he sees all around. It’s in his apartment, or wherever he’s staying. It’s getting into his body to most likely try to change his dna or something and he wants to constantly try to get me to see these strands of what he says look like nano wire or tubing. I never do see them though but he really wants us to finally catch them on video to show the world. Then we would break the biggest news story that possibly ever happened. And of course become very rich and famous. It really both hurts me and scares me to see him like this. At first I really thought I could just reason with his thoughts. Maybe if I could get him to start by admitting which option sounds like it would normally be more likely. He’s somehow for some reason become able to see and communicate with something everyone he knows can’t see or that person could be suffering from something like psychosis? I thought i could possibly just start to get him to question things he’s experiencing than that could be the start needed. But it didn’t help. I have stopped trying to reason and instead try to change the subject when he starts talking about those things and just make sure he’s doing ok. I am however happy with what he told me this morning. Last night I went over to his apartment and hung out. We talked and watched tv and stuff all night. He told me it was the first time in a long time that the voices that torment him weren’t as loud and noticeable and he was actually able to shut them out most of the evening. I think I realized the best thing for him is to not be alone. It felt really good to hear him say that even though I’m sure we would have two different answers as to why he thinks they left him alone.

I believe it but not sure what it is but I know what he is talking about a little. Pretty close I think.

@NicoleGurley39 6 месяцев назад

I just started hearing voices in September of this year and nothing is wrong with me . I will try hypnotize

Our son is going through something very similar. It started 8 years ago after he graduated in the US. He decided he wanted to be back in the UK where his siblings are. We live in the Caribbean. His psychosis became so bad that he was sectioned under the UK Mental Health Act. His condition has continued to deteriorate over the years in spite of medication and the involvement of various psychiatrist.

@cherylmorand8098 10 месяцев назад

They need to feel that they are being heard.

@Emess_902 22 дня назад

Exactly, BUT DO NOT. DO NOT. Try to relate with them about anything, just bring up memories or certain things they like, psychosis is a messy illness to deal with. Just give that person the love, respect, & distance they need

@tauresattauresa7137 6 месяцев назад

They never accept it, my sister is like that. Has no insight at all. She says I am well and you are crazy. She has been like this for years.

@NicoleGurley39 6 месяцев назад

Voices are s real thing so it started in September of this year and have learned a thing or two.

I have to say USA is just as clueless of mental health as I am. DSS, HHS, hot lines, etc. don't work together and offer no clear guidance. It's a black hole for family's seeking help for adult family members going through this illness. There's aggression and an uneasiness of being unsafe around them. What to do then. My son, is now homeless. He was in a shelter, they sent him to a facility for mental evaluation, he is conscience enough to know he doesn't want to be medicated he leaves the facility and now sleeping on my front porch. He's alienated from everyone, hotels etc. It's taken a toll on everyone. I don't feel safe with him in my home and my heartbreaks to see him homeless and ill. I called so many places and always end up back to square one because they deem him an adult. I can go on and on. Not to blame anyone but who do you really have to turn to.

@kimlane5189 9 дней назад

There is no one. All these organizations and hotlines and resources are lies. Also if you work full time to support your family how can you possibly do everything they suggest.

You can’t always help someone that’s manic. This is not realistic they become violent. You have not experienced someone in a manic episode. I don’t think these two have an educational background in psychiatric treatment

I can’t agree with you more.. dealing with a crisis in real time trying to get through to my brother and there’s absolutely nothing we can do or say for him to understand that there’s a problem
