In reply to Re: ***possible trigger** he wants to go to hosp l, posted by scratchpad on May 2, 2007, at 7:43:34
I called the nurse this morning & let her know that his meds WERE working, but that it's the cocaine use that's caused the symptoms. She said that, yes, that was on his chart & the psychiatrist knows about that & saw my son this morning. She was really nice.
He says he's less than half as bad as in Vancouver, but does have the 'plots', the voices telling to hurt himself or they'll hurt his family, plus he's already feeling like hurting himself anyway.
I'm feeling pretty calm about him having this happen. Who knows, maybe it'll help him towards learning that he can't do coke & not mess up his brain bigtime. I don't know. I'm still trying to be detached.
I'll probably post more later. Gotta go now, but wanted to let you guys know what's up. I appreciate your support.
At this point, I am thinking that I should something about once he's out of hospital, when he's at a place that he is going into rehab to deal with his problems, I'll be involved; unless he is, I can't be involved with him. I dunno.
Thoughts are welcome. I'll be talking with his 'worker' about it.thanks all, luv, Kath
