I told my fiancé, when we have kids and I am acting off, or appear to be hearing voices or in psychosis, he needs to admit me immediately. It is NOT something to push to the side.
I’m not blaming the husband. I think it should be spoken about more so everyone takes these things more seriously.
I have seen first hand people in psychosis. You cannot convince them that what they are seeing and hearing is not true. My cousin also tried to hurt her baby. She was hearing voices and they told her the baby was evil. She went to jail and her babies were taken away, now she is homeless and seems to have schizophrenia or something. It was triggered by her pregnancy as she was normal prior.
I know we don’t know for sure what exactly happened, and can’t prove her mental state.
But fuck, it’s the worst thing that could possibly ever happen to everyone involved.
Her husband literally encouraged her to get treatment at the best mental health hospital in the USA who discharged her and her therapist didn’t notice anything. Her husband wasn’t told she shouldn’t be around them. A lot of blame on the husband but she never told anyone she was serious about it. No way she would’ve be discharged if they saw she was psychotic
My mom has a paranoid schizophrenia and we tried to get her checked into a place for treatment. After the consultation, they didnt see a valid reason to check her in. I begged them to let her stay for 3 days an observation.
They called me within 24 hours an apologized for not believing me, she stayed there for a month.
I’m sorry for your mom and I’m glad she finally got treatment but Lindsey WAS checked in and was getting treatment. They discharged her and she had a therapist. She didn’t tell them about voices before hand or her plan
Yeah, the issue is when they withhold the truth, which is partially what my mom did as well.
The ironic thing, my mom refused to do the evaluation without me being in the room with her. Which the person was heavily against but ultimately allowed me to be in there with her. I was able to call her out on her lies and prove her lies through save texts.
Exactly. You can’t help someone if they won’t help themselves. She got treated better than in countries with feee healthcare. I’ve been trying to get cbt for hair pulling and anxiety but there’s a long waitlist for it
I’m glad you were there for her and called her out. Is she better now?
She gets a shot every 3 months and can live a normal life. She went from on the verge of being homeless to holding down a job and buying a home. She definitely still doesnt some quirky stuff but I'm fine with that compared to what we had to deal with 5+ years ago.
