Thanks for your input & support!
I'm so glad that you've turned things around for yourself.
Congratulations, sincerely, Kath
PS - my son has been back in Ontario since the end of January. His psychosis symptoms are under control now with Risperidone & Seroquel.
He's in a program through Canadian Mental Health Association "HOPE" - Helping Overcome Psychosis Early.
His HUGE issue to deal with right now is that his 3-year serious girlfriend got using meth in BC. Came back with him, but in less than a month went back to "see friends (including, it turns out, a guy who she was attracted to & doing meth with) & bring back the rest of their things". Well, she is still there. She & the people who were living in the apartment where she & my son lived, were evicted & there was drug-cooking stuff around/graffiti, etc - when she phoned my son as they were being kicked out, the eviction official spoke with my son on the phone - said "if it was my girlfriend, I'd get her on the first plane out of Vancouver". Pretty hard for my son to hear, when he actually HAD booked a ticket for her & she didn't come back. My son is devastated about it.
He is really so obsessed with her that he seems to be barely getting from day to day. He's drinking to deal with it.Pretty stressful watching someone in so much pain & being scared about what's going to happen.
