Suggest Ways To Deal With A Psychosis Patient

Posted on Thu, 5 Feb 2015

Question: In my last email to XXXXXXX I did wish him a happy birthday. So should I send him ANOTHER email wishing him a happy birthday or is that overkill? I am on the verge of giving up on XXXXXXX If he really wanted to hear from me I think I would have heard from him in some kind of response by now..what do you think? There is never any response except for him to eventually unblock my emails..its not like this is helping to maintain and kind of relationship so what is the point in wishing him a happy birthday again?

Brief Answer:
At least mail him once again

Detailed Answer:
Hello again,

If I am right I guess his birthday is on 21st. So you should at least give one more try. As we concluded in out last conversation that he might have developed fear that he may harm you and then he distanced himself from you and your son. His hallucinations are probably telling him ideas of homicide. If this reason is true than what I can say is that he really care about him. But in such case nothing can be done because you cant contact him directly and he is not taking any treatment. This is really a difficult situation.

But as per my opinion mail him on his birthday again. He has unblocked him but at the same time he is rigid in his decision which is bad for you. At least mail him once again and keep one thing in mind that even if he would not reply even than you will not cry. I know its very difficult but try to control your emotions and improve your condition. Hope for best.

Thanks

You said if his hallucinations are probably telling him ideas of homicide then he might really care about him...did you mean to say he might really care about me? I think that is what you are trying to say right? Does his rigidity mean that he will never contact me? I am beginning to feel like I need to give up on him as he is not changing his behavior at all and never will despite what my son and daughter say about the night visions my son and I have had about him being in ministry with us to Israel.its like he is a ghost..not really there anymore...and yet, I am confused because of what God has shown us and how about him being in ministry with us and how he is the only way we can get to Israel..he seems really determined not to have ANY contact with me at all...I don't know that this will ever change..

Brief Answer:
As per my opinion he might care about you but he is in psychosis

Detailed Answer:
Hello again

Though I cant say this with certainty because I haven't seen him, but the abstract of out previous discussions denote that probably he has fear that if he would contact you or your son then he may kill you. He once mentioned also that entities are asking him to kill, and this appears that he is having hallucinations, and it is possible that he has fear from himself of killing you and he distanced himself from you.

So we can conclude that he might care about you, but we cant do anything. You cant contact him, or can advise him for treatment. He is not like ghost, he is ill and is not aware of his actions. You have to keep this thing in mind and this should be basis for our improvement. Try to come out of trauma and improve your symptoms.

Thanks. That is what my son and daughter think too but I am so confused, hurt, sad and angry with him...when the economy goes under sometime later this year, he will be stuck here. we are still thinking of getting tickets for Israel and flying there when we see the signs of this happening. One of Michael's delusions is that he will loss all of his money which may not be all delusional..the U.S. dollar is about to tank as it is not worth the paper it is printed on. XXXXXXX is a millionaire but is hoarding it all...should I say anything to him about the economy crashing or not or would that just make things worse?

Brief Answer:
No, please don't write anything to him about economy

Detailed Answer:
Hello again

Please just wish him on his birthday and also wish him good health. As per my opinion saying him about economy crashing may make condition worse. Please try to keep your mail short and hope for best. Don't write anything about economy.

Thanks

Okay. I won't...I just wish we could talk about God and stuff that really matters. He loves Jesus as I do and that was our point of contact besides the fact that we really cared about each other a lot..if he doesn't respond this time what do I do then? I really doubt he will respond...my son says he needs to hear from us and that he thinks it helps him even if he doesn't respond...it is so hard to not know what is going on for sure...

Okay I won't Dr Bishnoi..yeah, he will just get more paranoid and delusional.its so hard to think of the right things to say...and if he doesn't respond this time what do I do? I feel like giving up...I have to wait seven more months to see him and I have no idea if that will even be safe...

Brief Answer:
Yes mention about GOD and other common interests

Detailed Answer:
Hello again

Yes mention in mail about the common interests you shared. Both of you are believer of GOD and talk about Jesus and lets hope for his response. His is repeatedly unblocking you and yes your son is probably right he want to hear from you.

If he doesn't respond then we have no option left but to wait. But we should not loose hope, mail him and lets see what happens. Pray to GOD for best thing for you and him.

Thanks
