Shit has hit the fan so I’m here to over share

Today we will be officially starting my kids on anti psychotic medication. Last night was a very terrible night and I had to explain to my neighbours that my son was screaming because he was tired and not attached to reality. I could cry and throw up. This stress is unreal. We are going to work on sound proofing a room in our house. Suggestions appreciated. Thank you.

I’m so sorry to hear you are dealing with something so big over there. I’ve been dealing with some mental health issues with my son all of a sudden and can relate to being so sick with worry and stress. It’s a horrible feeling when you can’t console your child

Really sorry to hear you’re going through this.

I am so sorry. You're doing such a good job. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia at 13. I am very thankful I started anti psychotics when I did. I can't imagine the situation you are on, but you aren't sitting you care and your talking action. That speaks mountains. I appreciate you getting your son help because it took a while for me to get help for myself. You are a good mom. I wish I had I mom like you.

It's important for a growing brain to have rest. Hopefully those medications can allow him to find some inner peace. I've witnessed several cases of adolescent psychosis and it's a tricky thing but getting professional help is the kindest option.

@Laura both are autistic with global developmental delays and some sort of behavioural thing I never remember the name of. Unfortunately without medication they don’t sleep and without sleep they hurt me and themselves. All other interventions haven’t been successful yet

I'm so sorry you are going through this 🩵 It must be so insanely stressful, not to mention hard to see your sons go through it.🤍

I hope they start sleeping so that YOU can start sleeping too! Sending good vibes your way
