Quote From: cathyrochOh my god, I am soooo sorry, you have to go through all of this by yourself. My husband has bipolar and I too had to got thru his mood swings and parania thoughts by myself. No one would listen to me when I told them he was sick. I have just recently sent an email to reply to your horrible situation but I didn't know how - this is my first time. I too have a son who is schizophrenic. I went through hell too. My husband is not the father of my son. Your son firstly NEEDS to be on medication (all the time). I wish I could contact you to talk to you by phone. It is a nightmare!!!!! The horrible situation is that no one understands mental illness until you are involved and schizophrenia is the worst one. I have read books, watched videos and I have found that the most important thing to do is get him on a medication that makes him normal. A very good one is Zyprexa or Seroquel. They trigger the positive and negative symptoms. Positive symptoms are hallucinations - added to his personality where negative symptoms take away from his personality like depression. I know exactly how you feel. My heart still breaks. I could go on and on because I have been going through hell for the past 2 years but now it has turned around but it is not over. It never will. I still watch all the time. I wish I could help because I know what you are going through.
