Thanks everyone for your support you gave me that warm and fuzzy feeling inside
. My dad only decided to stay separated for a week and so far so good. However it is evident that my mother has psychological problems (she thinks there is buried treasure in my basement, that one of the local hospitals has voodoo dolls and clones of everyone in my town, that hollywood is living among everyone in my town, that people are spying on and recording my mom (apparently she believes that my sister signed her up for a reality TV show like the osbournes for example), that people say she has slept with all the men in town, that she thinks my dad had a heart attack and was replaced by his "identical cousin" (thats not even possible), and that everyone who plays paintball is into black magic. So enjoy a little taste of my life doh . All these things that she believes she says she hears "through the grapevine" though she doesn't talk to anyone at all. I want my mom to get some psychological help though the problem is that she has days where she acts like the mom I remember her to be and then she has days when she is crazy. We can't decide to admit her to a metal hospital or have her put on medication or talk to a doctor on a day that she is acting normal because she will think we are crazy for thinking she is crazy. When I was writing that message I was living at my sisters house with my cousins and they didn't have internet so thats why I was going to be away for a while. Now that I am back home I can continue going on the computer so I am once again here to stay.

Have her seek out a psychiatrist for sure - sounds like a classic case of paranoid schizophrenia, and a psychiatrist could diagnose it (that's his job - mine is but a guess) and give her the appropriate meds she needs to get better. I'm not saying this to be mean PB, but to be honest, and I truly hope that everything works out for the best for you and your whole family, bud.Paintball wrote:Thanks everyone for your support you gave me that warm and fuzzy feeling inside.

That's serious stuff
Sounds like she might need ECT treatments.
The risk is tottal memory lose though.
You might need a break.
Can you stay with friends or relitives for a few months?

Ahhhhhh.........having worked with Mental Health patients in the past (4 years running security at a hospital in Michigan) there is no real cure. Just treatment such as drugs and usually there are other diagnosed problems too such as Bi-Polar that are combined. Drugs can control it to a certain extent but it's up to the individual. Most of the ones I had to deal with in the hospital (either petitioned by the court or voluntary into the MHU) were not using their meds or abusing other drugs and alcohol while using their meds.SirBeast wrote:Have her seek out a psychiatrist for sure - sounds like a classic case of paranoid schizophrenia, and a psychiatrist could diagnose it (that's his job - mine is but a guess) and give her the appropriate meds she needs to get better.

One of my most memorable experiences was being called up to the MHU (Mental Health Unit) and having to deal with a male patient in his mid-30's, 6'7", 320 lbs. (solid muscle) that was extremely pissed, wouldn't take his meds..........had picked-up and tossed a 300 lbs hospital bed..........half-way thru a wall into the next patient's room......cause he wanted a cigarette (the hospital had just instituted a no smoking policy that day for the MHU). They had already called a "Mr. Strong" over the PA (code for violent patient) and had over 20 hospital staff just outside his room (not one of them wanted to go in) and I went into his room to talk him down. Fortunately, I had knew this guy from a local bar I was bouncing at on weekends (he used to come in once in a while and BS drinking Coke......less the Rum). Well, it took me over 40 mins to settle him down (yes, he did remember me....THANK GOD) and not only did I get him to take his meds (we did have a few cigs during this talk......damn had to break the smoking policy the first day it started) but got him to pull the damn bed out of the wall. I was hoping it wouldn't get physical cause I'm only 6'1" 240 lbs. and I knew it would get VERY ugly if it got physical.
