A little bit about me since I’m new
I’m only diagnosed with a mood disorder. I really only have delusions and take antipychotics. I prefer not to have an official label so that I can perhaps one day be a police officer. Idk yet.
Anyways, my father is paranoid schizophrenic, and recently found out he was going to be a grandpa by my half sister. I think something in him had snapped because he’s fast talking, thinks my little sister created the universe, and other delusions. It’s quite worrying because last time this happened he lost his job, tried to break up with my mom and wound up living in a dingy motel by himself so he could drink as much as possible.
If anyone has any tips for being able to support him/help convince him to go to the hospital etc. That’d be great. It’s been 5 or 6 days and he hasn’t calmed down, barely eats, and cannot sleep at all. I just want to help him but nobody has been responsive to me at all. Obviously I can’t convince him something isn’t real, and he really only trusts me to tell me his delusions. Just some words of comfort or understanding or helping me understand better would be great. Nice to meet yall sorry for word vomiting. Hope this is the right category.
