Does anyone have a sibling who suffers with paranoid schizophrenia? |
and how do they deal with it.....my sister had been diagnosed after we all noticed her behavior had damatically changed...years ago she was a happy outgoing poplar successful woman...now she is frightening everyone away, she's violent, she says the most hateful things, i do not know how to handle her any more...our sister friendship no longer exists and sometimes i hate her for what she's doing to our family...i know she's ill...but how do i deal with it...her son is embarrassed because she makes him look stuoid infront of his friends, he wont bring his girl back to his house because she just makes them feel uncomfortable, she has even taken to shouting at people in the street, setting fire to her own house them calling the police, fighting with her neigbours, she has lived in 5 different places in the past 2 years because of eviction, i miss my sister, please, if theres anyone out there that knows how to deal with it, she thinks people are after her...how can i convince her there isnt My son who is 16 has paranoid schizophrenia. I know exactly how you feel my eldest son 19 moved to my mums because he couldn't stick it my youngest daughter started to stay with her aunt which left my middle daughter here with me my husband and son who has schizophrenia. I used to have to comfort my daughter when she used to cry to me and send me notes saying if you don't do something with him I'm going to run away or kill myself. He beat her up in front of Friends on the school bus and called all of them names and fought with them. Well he fought with most people. Everyone avoided coming to our house because the way he got on. The sad thing is people who have schizophrenia don't want to be like this but they cant help it. If your sister wont go and get help you can go to her Dr and explain the situation and TELL EVERYTHING they will have her sanctioned as a last resort but she really sounds like she needs help FAST. My son is on medication which is helping him it is such a relief for all of us AS WE ALL SUFFERED not just him. Good Luck i really can sympophise. my aunt suffers from the same thing. she has been in hopital many times. my family try to give her support but its not easy. all u can do is be there for her My grandmothers sister had that and she spent half her life in an instutuion. But she eventaully got out and married and had I guess what you call a normal life, what was left of it. My grandmother tried to keep this secret from my grandad and my mom. She eventually told what happen but she still afraid that it could be passed down to one of her grandkids. I have a sister with paranoid schizophrenia, I have never seen her but often hear her voice................... no but i have a secret friend who hides in my wardrobe who does,no one else can c him but he talks to me when were alone. Hi. Poor you. I don't have a sibling who suffers from this, but my mother does. The only thing you can do is fight hard to get professional help and support for her. The health services being stretched as they are, this can be difficult. Where there is family, they will try and push the responsibility onto you. But she should have a) a psychiatrist and b) a care co-ordinator (or case worker). See the website I listed below - it's very helpful and contains lots of useful info for families and friends of affected people. Unfortunately, feeling persecuted is all part of the illness. There's nothing you can rationally say to her that can change this - only medication can cure this symptom. But underneath it all, she will know that you're there for her and will remember. http://mentalhealthcare.org.uk/... |
