Hello I’m new here and I hope it’s ok I’m posting as I’m not the one dx’ed with schizophrenia but my boyfriend is currently hospitalized due to an episode he had on Saturday, although he was experiencing psychotic behavior for many years he actually was never diagnosed. I’m not sure what brought this on but he has been going through a lot of stress and has been doing a lot of cocaine in the past couple months. His mom had schizophrenia and I see a lot of the same things in him. He’s currently in the hospital believing he is Jesus Christ, he refuses to be called by his name. He feels like me and his family are the devil. He’s been very violent with the staff at the hospital and he won’t stop talking about Jesus Christ. I’m really scared that he will never come out of this. They are trying him on different meds to stabilize him, but this is his first full blown psychosis. I’m basically just wondering what to expect, and what everyone’s expierence was like the first time? Thank you so much for any advice you can give.
It’s gonna be ■■■■■■ up.
Not to disregard what is surely a devastating occurrence, however, our members here are strictly psychotic experiencers only. Due to convenience to care givers, family members, lovers, and the like there is a forum for just the likes. So may I interest you in our family forum?
