she now has decided to go back and live in London where she has a flat
She’s on her way 76 yr old mum is driving her 200 miles
she has according to mum had 7 or so weeks off alcohol
her detox was at home and was very severe with headaches, dislike of light, sickness. and basically a heavy alcoholic for 25 years is going to cause something to happen (she’s 40.)
she often confabulates and has a suspended sentence of 18 months for harassment (a bully who we think drugged raped and stalked her on line) he took her to court after years of abuse from her
she has been living with alcohol induced psychosis for about 6 years since her total deterioration and breakdown
I have schizophrenia myself (13 y out of hospital)
She has enduring psychosis - is very paranoid, talks to ghosts and shouts at people who she thinks are laughing at her.
Everyone is out to do her harm
Black magic everywhere
evil in certain things (objects)
and everyone is evil and means to do her harm
This feels so much like a first episode Schizophrenia
she has been using huge amounts of weed to calm her anxiety for the last few years
with 2 already schizophrenic sisters (our middle sister died)
she seems to want to recover away from her self induced prison in a dark room at my mums
she has given up drinking and smoking
but this feels like an enduring if not new case of schizophrenia
I hope it’s okay to re post this from the other forum.
I am supposed to learn to detach my mum thinks
I KNOW she should be in hospital
i just don’t think we can get her there in the NHS
they are out of money and haven’t been interested in doing anything to help someone who doesn’t want it
moving to London she rejects both of us not wanting to speak about anything as usual
Sounds like your sister is not mentally stable. Moving to another city (country?) in such a bad condition is unsafe for her. You must be worried about her. If you don’t mind me asking are you living in Japan ?
i don’t know what will happen
she was very suicidal for 5 years
maybe still is
she self injures in the EXTREME
She believes what her mind says and talks as though it’s real.
That is how she behaves at the minute
and shouts at people wherever she goes because of thinking they are laughing at her
Wow, that’s no good. Since you and your mom can’t get your sister into a hospital and get a diagnosis, I think she might get the attention of the police and will probably get forced into a hospital.
I think so too - she will find herself being arrested .
if she is lucky she will get forced treatment.
hopefully not a prison
hopefully somewhere that takes care of her psychosis and dual diagnosis
might be a very small chance that she will get out of her situation this way
but look at the crazies on the street
basically who cares about them
