Hugs for you! I hope get well soon.

I have the alarm set on my phone to yell at me about doing these things. I wonder if that would help him? I have a blackberry and I set it to remind me of ANYTHING, and it will do so every day until I tell it to stop. At mealtimes, for example, I've even set it to show (along with the alarm) a pre-set list of things I should eat.

Can you get a befriender for him? I know the charity MIND offers that service (I've assumed you're in the UK), but I imagine there are mental health charities around the world that do.
