My son had an episode the other day. He's terrified of needles and he swears a lady pricked him who had Hep C. Now he's super fixated on this thought. He showed me a mark that was only acne. He's convinced he was stabbed.

He said he called his old counselor. I told him he needs to make an appointment, which he hasn't done. He was talking about admitting himself to a hospital, but hasn't. I hope and pray he gets help soon. Even goes back on meds.

I feel so bad for him. When my oldest son had psychotic breaks it was easier for me to get him admitted due to his cognitive delays. My youngest is more independent so he has more say. I tried an involuntary admission once and they sent him home because he was capable.

The stress is just too much. I'm BP and feel his psychosis is triggering me. Plus his dad just can't handle it at all.
