How to deal with a family member with mental illness.
My mom has developed schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, manic depression and a bunch of other things since my grandfather passed away about 10 years ago. I feel like I live in a nightmare where she gets taken away to mental health clinics for one or two weeks and then the money hungry insurance runs out so the doctors claim she’s fine and release her. This has happened about 20 times now, it’s an endless cycle of her relapsing and having an episode where she’s violent, talks to herself, doesn’t sleep for days on end. I don’t know what the fuck to do anymore. I’m her caregiver so she falls under my insurance and it’s costing me upwards of $15k a year for hospital bills, physiatrist and mental health hospital bills. I get the fucking run around every single time that she is being discharged and has agreed to go to classes three times a week and take her prescribed medicine. The assholes at these places tell me in more or less terms that she is my problem to deal with. It kills me to see my mom like this but I’m not a fucking doctor and can’t help her. I can’t force her to take these prescriptions or go to these classes. It’s in turn ruining my life, relationships, career, etc.
Has anyone else ever dealt with a sick family member and if so could you please help me.
massive doses of ayahausca each weekend for a month and 2 hours of steady state long distance cardio with her during each of the 5 week days if u really care
get her off all petropharmaseutical "psychotropic" drugs. they are poison. like a cancer merchant who does not want the patient to heal and operates through a vertical chain of command hierarchy equivalent to that of a human centipede

Is this serious help? I appreciate it greatly if it is, just not familiar with ayahuasca. She gets prescribed all this shit but there is no one forcing her to take it and in her mind she doesn’t have a problem, everyone else does so it just adds on to this nightmare. She is coherent enough to remove the necessary amount of pills when they come to my house to check up on her. This led to them giving her the medicines intravenously but it literally put her in a zombie state and I put an end to it. I will take you advice if serious because I have given up almost all hope at this point
Daniel Bennett
Lawyerfag here, OP. Have you considered trying to have her committed as a ward of the state?
Joseph Jones
google ayahausca south american retreat they run clinics but u can trip sit urself just read up on it
ull have to look up each medication and how to clear the chemical from her body
Carson Torres
She has been to long term state psychiatric hospitals through orders on 3 occasions for about 30-60 days. The problem is once it’s over they set her up on a plan to meet with a field worker for check ups and assigned classes but once she’s out of there and the medicines they give her wear off it is a slow cycle back to the point where I have to call the local police to have her taken out of my house to the hospital. I’m at the realization over the years these so called mental health institutions are just in hand with insurance agencies to milk people but I don’t know what to do anymore. I see the cycle and know when she’s getting bad again but it just never is a problem that gets solved
Justin Thomas
state+mental health literal animal farm and shit tier advice if he was to do that he flat line wouldnt have asked the question of care in the first place
Jacob Brown
because of the drugs shes on its a cycle while she is tripping u want to find root causations and try to solve them with logic with her
Ryder Miller
I agree. It would have to be a last resort, like if nothing else works and there is danger. OP what's your state?
Zachary Reyes
Yeah I get that man. That’s the problem. I knew my mom when she was fine and that’s what hurts the most. I don’t know how to fix it and/or if she will ever be back to the mom I once knew. The problem is these so called doctors just med her up every single time until they can legally discharge her and push this problem back on me. It’s heartbreaking to say the least. I’m at the point where I’ve just accepted this as part of my life but it fucking sucks having to have it interfere with my life, career, friendships etc.

get the fuck out and make it not your problem
Jeremiah Cruz
My state is normal lol I posted here because every once in ten thousand shit posts people are actually of help and provide decent insight
Blake Rivera
I’ve gotten a temporary restraining order on one occasion and after speaking with a judge it would cost me 4x more to pay for her living expenses, health care and everything else so I dropped it. That’s not the answer
Jordan Long
Rape her dog, clean the dog shit off your bloody cock, smear the bloody shit into a microwave dish with 1 litre of full cream milk and microwave on high for 2 minutes and 20 seconds.
the shit from a freshly raped dog has special Liptites that can assist in overal serotonium update.
Nah man I care about my mom and trying to find some sort of help. Nice shit post though
Andrew King
smoke some weed and do regimented exercise for a number of months while making incremental improvements to ur diet ull see ur life get better too in tandem with solving hers with the option i found to be the answer, i think it would work

>>adv>> faggot
Xavier Roberts
State, like Ohio, Wisconsin...?
Isaac Ortiz
I live in NJ. Is this something I could talk to a doctor about prescribing her as an alternative?
Nathan Nelson
NJ
Brayden Jones
Did they give her something called "Outpatient civil commitment or “assisted outpatient treatment (AOT)"?
Kayden Garcia
Yeah three times bro. It’s always some “year long” program that never goes anywhere and somehow gets discharged after like 3 months
Daniel Butler
Ok. First off, great triple trips. Next, NJ looks like a tough jurisdiction. If it comes to a last resort, you may be able to commit her... its hardh and awful but if its rhe only thing ... Check these guys out : treatmentadvocacycenter.org/mental-health-commitment-laws
You can ca them and find the local bar association of lawyers who have this shit. Might be good to call one anyway. Most lawyers will talk to you for an hour for free. That's a a legalfag can do for you tonight bro. Hope the others gave you better help.
Ayden Anderson
I really have to know this...
Why in the FUCK is your mother YOUR PROBLEM? What made it this way? At what point do they say your mentally ill family is YOUR PROBLEM rather than the STATE'S PROBLEM. It seems retarded and I can't see any not corrupt way of this happening but OP saying "DIBS" on his mom's bullshit.
Also, your mother has heavy metal in her mind... literally. They're poisoning her with all this medicine garbage and I hope you understand getting her off the smack will get you put in jail because you're "hindering her healing" or some bullshit. They're milking your insurance for all it's got, and they'll fuck you over any way they can.
My advice? Get the FUCK out of New Jersey and get to a flyover state with lax laws on this shit. Don't get caught leaving NJ, or you're fucked. Fuck those prescriptions, fuck this "mental illness" shit, please understand your mother's soul is teetering between here and Purgatory because they're fucking with her mind so much. Her mind is almost dead.
