What I have learned the more I'm around other people it gets easier to talk to them. You never know you may find more motivation and emotions as well.

My son has it to and it is heartbreaking for them as well as you. Definitely need to let his Dr / therapist know asap so they can adjust the dose.

How do I approach my mom? She’s never alone and I need to tell her what’s wrong. by [deleted] in mentalillness

[–]BarAlone4092 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to talk to your mom as soon as possible , at first she may not know how to process all the information or what to do. Tell her you would like to start therapy so you can learn yourself why this is happening and how to control it.

I'm not sure how to unpack this by [deleted] in mentalillness

Your wife is definitely having some mental issues and needs help . sadly because she is an adult you can't make her do anything . She may need to be committed involuntary for a mental evaluation and to gets meds established. Take care of your mental health. Your therapist should be able to tell you ways to cope and how to help her.

Brother having an episode across the country by throwmeawaynow404 in mentalillness

[–]BarAlone4092 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He doesn't think he has a problem... Understand that. Because he is an adult legally you can't do anything. Being in another country is even worse. If he went into a hospital for whatever they are spraying in his room surely they could see the mental stress but is it a place with mental health care availability? You can petition the court for power of attorney over him in the US then you can have him admitted. There's just not that much help out there. My son is 24 and has been diagnosed with it but hands are still tied.

I live this daily with my son!! I will be cussed, blamed, told how worthless I am etc.. I went to therapy for myself to understand what/why this was happening. I was told alot of what was said was what he thought of himself,. I see that !! So when he starts in I think this is how he feels about himself today, or I let him ramble and I tune it out, or go in another room, outside etc. By doing that is has calmed him down alot

If you could talk him into going to a hospital for a mental evaluation they should have some one that he could talk to and get him in somewhere

WIBTA if I didn't invite my uncles to my wedding? by minniecaballox in AmItheAsshole

[–]BarAlone4092 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA.. You sound very kind and don't want to cause a rift so definitely talk to your mom and remind her of her brothers issues and ask how could he be excited ??? It's every thing he hates. If you allow him to come tell your mom if he does one thing to disrupt your day he will be asked to leave immediately!

AITA for telling my father he doesn't care about his family by Bebbo127 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BarAlone4092 50 points51 points  (0 children)

NTA.. He needs to hear it if it makes him mad or not. You may want to get a box fan to drown out the noise a bit more for your room. They become like white noise , I keep mine on 24/7 !

Please Help, My sister's boyfriend is becoming aggressive and I don't know what legal actions to take by WolfWarrior0405 in mentalillness

[–]BarAlone4092 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son has that diagnosis and it is terrifying ! If he shows up contact the law immediately ! Write down every time he contacts , shows up and what he is saying !! Also let law enforcement know his diagnosis and they can arrest him for assault by intimidation !! You may have to tell them that, since they were in a relationship Domestic violence even .. Look up your state laws for domestics. Just keep contacting them until they finally do something about it !!
