I wouldn’t say insane. I don’t like “insane”. But the brain certainly does get creative.

I agree with the mouse, life is better medicating.
Hi Kasia~
You may not be the only one he is giving a hard time to. There are probably other people in his life that he feels the same way about. If not-and he goes unmedicated-it will extend out to others too.
My son did this with me, and then to everyone. There really is nothing you can say to him. What has helped with my son is to stay away when he gets that way. So far, it seems to be working. Even though he is saying all these things, hes still in there. Please dont take it personally-just walk away when he is acting this way towards you.

I though my 9-yearold son or husband would stab me while I sleep. It went on for a year and then I ran away from home. Leaving my husband and two kids 10 and 6 years old. I was away from home for a year. During that year I was hospitalized for 6 months and got meds. I also believed Hell’s Angels were out to kill me. I was terrified of motorcykles.
Meds made me better. I could return home for a while and sleeping at mom’s place until I felt safe at home again.

Good suggestion.
i went through a stage where i heard the voices of everyone around me, including my parents, husband, brother, sister in law, kids…it was terrifying at first and this happened about 3 times and i fell for it every time. i thought they were all against me. i didn;t want to believe it ut it seemed soooo real at the time. it was awful and terrifying so i ran away. i don’t envy you your position at all. my own parents tried so hard to convince me that it wasn’t real, what i was hearing in my head, yet every time they said something nice, i could hear them saying some thing horrid in my head and i didn’t know who to believe at all.

Only meds can help taking away delusions. I thought a friend of mine was really bady until I got my meds.After being medicated, she is one of my best friends up until now.

I meant bad, not bady.
Thank you.
It’s so hard to not take it personally when it’s aimed at me specifically. I realize it’s the disease but that doesn’t make the words hurt any less. How did you toughen your heart against the things your son says to you?
Thank you for telling about your experience.
Maybe he is experiencing something like what you did. He hasn’t confided exactly about hearing voices. But occasionally he says “someone” told him bad things about me. When I ask who, he can’t tell me and acts confused.
This disease is just terrible and my heart aches for everyone who has experience of it, those who have it and those who love the people with it.
I’m sure it was scary for you, like a nightmare you couldn’t wake up from.
Best wishes for your health and happiness.

I’m really sorry you had such a hard time and your children too.
I’m glad meds helped you.
It seems that meds is the only answer.
Thank you. I’m glad you and your friend kept your friendship together. She really cares for you:)
Universal agreement for meds so far.
Therapy also helps but without meds it’s nothing. I hope she does care for me, because lately we’ ve been lost a bit, but we have been friends for more than 10 years! I don’t know what’s happening to her now, anyways.

Ten years is a long time so I’m sure she does indeed care about you. Maybe she’s just going through a rough time over something right now. I’m sure everything will be fine. My best female friend and I have been friends almost our entire lives. Sometimes life gets us busy and we lose each other for awhile but we always end up back together and are still the best of friends.

I don’t believe in friendship anymore. Everyone looks at his own interests.

That is really sad:( I’m sorry you think that:(
Don’t be sad. I 'll message you later about this.
I feel persucuted by muslims and christians. I cant think or feel anyother way or terrable things will happen to me and my family.
I am bieng controlled and have no freedom to disbielieve or I am wrong if I disbielive and dont ever believe.
My voices tell me it is for my own good but it is daily thought control, and having my vibes and feelings controlled, basically my whole body and soul and mind is controlled.
I feel really bad for you:( It’s a terrible feeling to feel trapped by something and feel a loss of freedom.
Meds do not help you?
Medication helps a lot and gives me freedom from these symptoms.
enough freedom for me right now.
I know I am feeling this way because of complications with schizophrenia.
My parents give me enough freedom to enjoy my hobbies also which helps tremendously.
