Helping Family, turns in to mental nightmare

Hi @Krail, I don't think we've met before.

I am hearing how distressing your situation is at the moment. I'm glad you decided to 'unleash' some of your feelings with a bit of a vent in a safe space. We're here for you 💜

Sounds like you are caught in a storm of poor communication, and feeling very much like the scape goat for anything going awry in your home right now. I wanna acknowledge that like... our sense of safety in our own home is so important. It makes sense that you're feeling overwhelmed by everything that's going on. It can feel like there's no respite, because our place of respite is now the source of stress.

I hope you are able to be gentle with yourself tonight. The community is here for you, feel free to share more when you're ready. 😊

@Krail My dear friend this often times happens. i reckon because people in wrong need someone to air their frustrations to, support them being angry, be their scapegoat, as well as help them out of their troubles being the way are for otherwise they fall to bits. (Such attitudes literally suck the good out of us.)

If i was you, i take care of yourself first! REFUSE to take responsibility what is not your responsibility. Your responsibility is to take of care of yourself first! Self care in every and whatever way benefits you, mental first of all with your condition. Make sure you are safe! And then if you have time left over and feel like sharing that time with others, then, and only, share yourself in support. Never because you fear they might hate you, or not like you, or get angry with you, as such makes you prey, but only because you want/love to!

Great rewards doing that!Trust the good in you to do good. And know fear only speaks true when it is true! So face your fears and you will see for yourself if they are true or not.

This way people appreciate you in no time!😁

Thank you for the message. The poor communication still goes on, just this morning she tells me to cook my son breakfast because she thought I ate his meal for the morning. I shouldn't have but j got angry about the accusation when I was awake still in the morning hours from stress and saw her sleep eat the food. She is aware of her habit but still thought it necessary to blame me, not listen to reason or try to remember ,whilst under the impression that she is just asking for me to cook. I am slipping here very hard and greatful that there is support here. I think might need to go to the hospital for my condition now, it's gotten too out of hand for me alone without outside support. I'm going to try one last time, i just want to be better and strong for my son's sake.

@rav3n thanks for that, still getting used to communicating again. Bit on the older side myself, definitely gonna be on here more. Looks like I just lost my therapist too, I really, REALLY, needed to chat to them. Let's see how this pans out for another schizophrenic.

Hi @Krail how are things for you today? I saw you are considering a hospital admission, is that still on the cards for you? And losing a therapist too - it's hard not to feel super rejected and crappy when that happens (even if it's for the best cos maybe they wouldn't have helped anyway).

Here if you want to chat 💜
