Hi wishing,
No room for my son today; hopefully tomorrow.
Had a very upsetting day because my son wasn't able to get in touch with GF & neither was I all day.
My son was beside himself. His fear for her safety is BIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGG. He'd wanted her to phone me 4 times during the night to let me know she was OK. She agreed to midnite & 3, which she & I decided wasn't necessary. But in the morning when there was no answer to the phone, I was pretty upset. I'm afraid I lied to my son & said I'd spoken with her at 6 am. & that she had been really tired & probably was just sleeping through the phone (which turned out to be true; she's going to put the ringer on LOUD). When I asked him if the phone could go into the bedroom he said no plug in there & that he'd thrown their portable out the window into the dumpster outside & that he didn't want to go into the reason right now, but would tell me sometime.
When I spoke with her, she said he'd done that because the 'voices' had told him to throw the phone out the window, so they'd know he wasn't going to phone the police!!!!!!!! YIKES - can you imagine how that would feel; thinking that was REAL!!!!!!!!I must admit, that when I couldn't reach GF today, I was started to have visions of her having been hurt in their apartment! He is so totally convinced that she's not safe, that it almost makes it seem like there's some possibility!
When I finally phoned him to tell him she's safe & I just spoke to her & that she'd been soooo tired she just slept thru the phone, he said that we should remember this, in case it happens again. I thought that was a good thing. That he'd have that clarity of thought. Earlier today, he was playing cards with another patient. I told him that that was a good sign since it required concentration. (I was actually surprised!)
I'm sorry you aren't doing well hun. Do you suffer from depression? anxiety? or what? I'm sorry you're having problems with your T. That SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! How long have you been off meds? I send you a long hug. Thanks for reaching out to me. It really means a lot to me.
Take care & I hope you feel better really soon. When did you say you see your T again? Have you been going there long?
luv, Kath
