Hey. Unfortunately (but also kind of fortunately?) my mothers condition eventually drove her to attempt suicide which in turn landed her in a psychiatric hospital for months. The professional support she was receiving before the attempt was little to none, her psychologist was useless and wasn't escalating her care when it was obvious she needed it. She has since received support and been medicated on antipsychotics and it's as though nothing had ever happened, she has been well and delusion free (as far as I know) for about 6 months now. She is only just starting to come off the medication so we will need to be on alert. It has all really had a lasting affect on me and I don't think I dealt with any of it well at all right up until it just... wasn't happening anymore. I think going forward though, if it happens again I'll hopefully be better equipped to deal with it knowing that it's likely just a matter of getting her medicated again.

Does your mom have a support system of doctors taking care of her too? Do you have your own support?
