He hasn't called all day. He called briefly yesterday evening to let me know where he was.

He said he was suicidal yesterday morning. I told him I'd take him to the hospital, but then he drank some bleach. He only drank it after I told him three times that it wouldn't kill him, so I don't think it was a genuine attempt. I think he's just really unhappy with his life and wants it to change.

Maybe this new place has something to offer. We'll see.

It just creeped me out that they were focusing on voices instead of how hopeless he seems to feel. People can learn to live with voices. There's no point in medicating the bejeezus out of him trying to eradicate them altogether. The last time they tried that he ended up a zombie - and he was still paranoid and hearing voices.

I just hope they address the real problem he's having now - he doesn't see a reason to go on. He doesn't enjoy anything.
