Hi

[starlady]

Hi can anyone help, My sis hasnt been home for a wk shes been acting strange saying shes hearing voices off internet thru songs saying we are all getting gassed....and keeps rinsing cups out constantly. She is saying she feels like shes suffocating when she stays at her own house. She thinks someone is trying to break into her house all the time and thinks someone is out to get her. I have been in touch with her g.p and said to bring her in....she wont go to see him and he wont come out to her as she dosent live in the catchment area for home visits. I am at the end of my tether as i feel im not getting any help for her. She has took a drastic action today and got keys to a new home to move in today. Will be appreciated for any advice as me and my family dont know what to do to help her now. ang x

Hi Starlady,I cant reall yoffer much advise.My brother suffer's from bipolar and he gets very paranoid,he thinks people are always talking about him.He constanly looks out of his flat window.He goes through phases of hearing things,gets very paranoid.
You sister need's help and quickley.I can fully understand how you feel being a relative of someone with a mental illness.But sometimes you can't help them unless they want the help.My brother knows he has bipolar,but still can't understand these feeling's he gets.He is also an alcoholic so that doesn't help his mind either.:hugs:

Thanks for your reply. My sis has us worried but i feel like it is out of my control as nobody seems to be helping. She has been in my house the last 3 days.... and staying around friends before that, but she has been sitting outside my house and wont come in until night time. I have a young son to look after and am finding it difficult to try and keep an eye on her so shes ok. Maybe her signing up for a new property hopefully might be the answer to her \gas\ phase whats going on. But im not sure it will end here. Thanks again for your reply. x

Thanks for reply.....I think it would be a struggle to get her to a and e as she thinks theres nothing wrong and shes not willing to see her own g.p. She cannot keep still....like a cat on a hot tin roof ...up and down stairs...in and out the house and i know its out of character for her. However...she has been in her house for weeks at a time not seing anyone before this episode last week when she told me about songs on internet that were giving her messages.....so i think she may have been staying in listening to these songs constantly until now. x

Ok thanx for all your replys. I have just got the num off a friend to a mental health team that may help if it gets any worse. I have suffered panic attacks in the past and found this site useful, and just glad i can come on here for other issues as well. x

Hi again....Situation has gone worse. Havent seen sis but i know shes got her new house all in one day!. She had my neighbour (Who she dosent know) driving her around everywhere first to find a house look at it and sign up for it without me knowing and asked another of my neighbours for money. I was at my mums today when my dad returned back with the removal man who had moved her out......and looking for the removal money which she did not pay so it was left to me and my mum to sort out. On the way back to my house i started having a panic attack ....which i havent had for months, had to stop in a park and felt tearful and derealization started setting in. I started to rush home and felt wobbly/shaky. Im dreading going out now in case i get more, Any advice will be appreciated, still tearful, Ang. x
