today. He's still hearing the voices fairly badly, but has agreed to TELL one of us if he needs to go to hospital to be safe.
He is really seeming to realize that the drugs are a MAJOR contributor to his psychosis.
He was hearing quiet whispery voices & when he did the cocaine, they got loud, mean, awful, ETC...so he has HAD to look at this. Was talking with his mental health worker about it.
We established what i could do to best help him...ask him "is all quiet?" & if it isn't, ask him to tell me what he's hearing.
In pdoc's appt, he actually said that he's going to stop doing drugs....only use alcohol.
She was very supportive in helping him set a guideline so he can see how he's doing. She sees him again in 2 weeks....gave him a 2 week goal to meet. (one he really should be able to meet).I'm feeling calmer & more hopeful (but not all excited - just calmly hopeful.)
Will let y'all know how it goes.
luv, Kath
