Good evening,
My name is Jen, my brother is bipolar schizo effective. He went manic recently and got into some trouble. I hired and attorney. He’s currently in jail awaiting a court date. Heheh attorney said we have to get him on a plan. Outpatient/ inpatient care. Get him in group - get him a therapist. My parents are older and have been trying to help him but he is hard to talk to sometimes he doesn’t like to talk about it…. But also my parents kinda brush off a lot / can’t handle it sometimes. My parents are also older and in their mid to late 60s. Sometimes it’s really to much stress for them. Im 26, Im his twin sister and I want to stand up and be a better advocate and help him if I can. He tends to go manic in stressful situations/ change.every year on his friends memorial he usually goes manic. Loss of a job or anything hard he usually does. It’s hard for him really to hold down any job, they end up being a lot. I would appreciate any help or advice, Looking into NAMI and DBSA. Thanks so much -Jen |
