He listens to high volume music in the kitchen and doesn’t let me make coffee. I was there first. I told him I have anger issues and may throw knives and try to stab if I am disturbed like I did when off meds. He said he’s not scared. I don’t know if that can happen on meds, it just happened once on meds after I smoked weed and was psychotic.
I don’t know what to do with that brother. He says he doesn’t talk to crazy people when I talk to him. My parents do nothing. He keeps bringing random friends without masks to the house during lockdown, its illegal. He says covid is a hoax.
If you feel like you are becoming violent, jump on the forum and vent out your issues. We don’t want you to end up in prison - it’s hard enough with Sz alone
Try not to get angry mate and offer violence - even if you want too. Keep your mouth shut, cos if you been where i been - thats likely to get you locked up in a cell. Punch a wall if you have too or swear in a pillow.
I’m not trying to hurt your feelings, but threatening with violence so you can get what you want is wrong. Don’t do that. Try talking it out. Take a breather and leave the room to calm down. But don’t threaten violence. Violence is not the answer
Woah. Your brother is unbelievably inconsiderate. Is he an adult? He sounds extremely immature.
If he makes you so angry that you begin to feel a violent reaction may be near, I would avoid him at all costs.
Shoot, I would avoid him solely because of the COVID risk he poses. I’m so sorry he treats you this way.
You mentioned your parents don’t do much to stop him. Do you talk to them about the concerns you have about him? Not during an argument of course, just during a calm conversation so they understand your perspective. Or if you know that won’t do much, maybe you and your parents can come up with a plan to help you safely stay away from him when he is home.
I have the exact same problem with my brother, I know what it’s like to be in that place where all you want to do is kill him. But please don’t hurt him, a flash of anger can lead to a lifetime of regret, tbh he dosent sound educated or mature about sz so try your best to laugh about him. You don’t want to be sectioned man he will only take comfort in that and don’t give him that. Focus on yourself in building yourself, get out of that bed on some new meds and make some goals
My brother is like this. Tried to throw me out of my mums house cos he didn’t want a mental person there. I just ignore him and see less of him since I moved down the road
It seems to be the mood of the police here that any time there is a dust up both parties go to jail, no questions asked. You might have to deal with something like that. Try to explain to your brother that you need your coffee, and assertively claim access to the outlet for the time it takes you to brew your coffee. You might think about getting noise canceling head phones.
Yes he’s my age, 29, I am 30. He annoys my parents a lot. They told me they can’t do anything as he doesn’t listen to anyone, they can call cops to get him out of the house but they said they won’t do it as its their son.
I get like that about roommates. I keep my mouth shut though cuz threats could end up bad. I worry about lashing out and beating one or more of them up. Im also big and strong and have some mma training so i know it would be bad.
I think its the fear of exploding on someone is bigger as ive had rage problems before
I sometimes wonder about people who have SZ and left untreated and who committed suicide or homicide listening to their voices… I feel terrible for for them… violence isn’t the answer
i feel its combined agression/anger feelings with lack of impulse control that this sort of thing can happen. ive always been a bit of impulsive/reckless individual. So when anger is mixed in I think thats where the violent thinking comes from.
growing up me and my brother used to get into fist fights and punch eachother in the face and stuff. So im no stranger to that sorta thing. I have numerous memories of me spazzing out on him over seemingly nothing and him as well.
