Forgive me

Forgive me because I'm probably going to make most of these posts a diary of the days events. This morning was good, my brother seemed to sleep peacefully through the night (read prior post if you have not) But now at 3:00 PM he is back very agitated, he is very fearful and wants to call police again. I do not know what triggered him this time as he did not say, I just calm him down and say he is safe here with me the voices are not real people and no one can hurt him. It is so sad he talks to himself or to the voices and I have to go to other room sometimes as it makes me cry, I hate seeing him this way. I've been watching mostly gameshows with him I feel it keeps his mind going and thinking about these quiz shows and not negative thoughts. Mental health is so important this is drastically effecting me to it's very depressing, but I want him to know he has my support. He cannot be in inpatient unless he agrees to it, or they feel he is a danger to himself or others so far he has not shown that.... But if it comes to that I will protect our family and have him comitted I hate to do it involuntarily but our safety and his comes first. Please pray for my brother Tim and for my family it is so stressful, most of my posts will b regarding this as it's now my everyday life <3

@Juliaacv thank you and I had a heart to heart with my mom about that, I've always suffered from depression and anxiety so this is very hard for me to deal with. I'm ok now but I don't know if I can do this everyday, if he doesn't start to improve we are going to need more professional help.

Did the pills he got do any good at all. I hope this ends for you and your family.

They help him sleep, and he is less agitated after he takes them onto the morning hours, but later in the day it's back to him feeling the same way.

@chrissbergstrom So those are not doing him any good for 24 hours a day.

@jstory07 today was a pretty good day, I think it may just take some time for meds to adjust.

I am keeping your brother in my thoughts. Try to calm him, tell him that no matter what he fears he is safe with you.

You are doing all you can. And you will do what you have to do. I know how stressful this must be. And it is depressing. Give the meds some time to work.
