I’m so disillusioned and upset today. My sister has had such a rough time lately with things no one should have to deal with, and on top of it there's mental health struggles, including psychosis. She’s living in a state of fear and is terrified and no one around her seems to care. The situation is awful as is, but with her mental state it makes it so much worse. There were no beds to admit her, they wouldn’t give her medicine at the ER because they “can’t give medicine for chronic conditions”. I’ve personally spent the whole weekend with her and she’s struggling. I don’t want to get into all of it, but it’s family drama and it ends with her being without basic necessities out of spite of family. It’s hurtful, but in the end – everyone is done with it because it doesn’t affect them. It’s affecting her. It’s causing her to have breaks from reality and live in fear. Not all her fears are rational, but the scenarios cannot be waved away. Regardless, perceived or real – she IS terrified and that emotion is constant and debilitating and it’s heartbreaking family is doing this to her, and they couldn’t care less.
Please keep her in your thoughts. She doesn’t deserve to suffer like this or to feel so alone. For the record, she’s not suicidal or homicidal, she is being watched and has an appointment Thursday to hopefully get some meds to help with the voices. She’s got antidepressants and the like she’s taking to hopefully even out her mood.
