I guess it's difficult to know what that entails from the outside. But it does seem though she needs more professional support than what she's getting? Understandable you're finding it hard trying to help if that's the case. But just my thoughts. Sx

She needs alot of help. I'm there for her, as is flatmate, but i'm so frustrated that I can't do alot but be there with an ear for her to use.

Really scared for her. At this rate she won't make Christmas day, she'll be back in hospital if her dad sees her the way she is right now.

Her sister is going to be very freaked out by the B'day card from her dead mother

I feel panicky on motorways too. I reckon it is because you are not allowed to stop and it is miles between services. On A roads, at least it is more interesting too. I know you can get off at exits but it seems more trapped.

Hi CCstar,

This is down to a T, i keep panicking knowing i cannot stop and have to carry on (motorway), If it's an A road you can pull over any time and jump out the car.
I think it may be due to the seat-belt as i am VERY claustrophobic although i'm the same on buses and aeroplanes, god help me as i have a 16 hour flight next month!! :eek: :eek:

How's the packing going hun?

It does sound like she's struggling to cope hun. Absolutely no reflection on you or flatmate at all; but it does seem as though she needs to be somewhere that her needs can be properly supervised and addressed... Sx

I know

I just don't know what to do. I'm really upset as a girl I really am very fond of is very unwell.

If we met on Thursday, how will she be? It could be a disaster, although if she hurt me, i'd know she wouldn't have meant it. I'm not sure Thursday would be a good idea, not on an anniversary she's scared of.

Slightly off topic, more for me than 'S', although it can be for her too, anyone know how i'd find out about rememberance trees or anything similar.

We have a local rememberance tree area, but no idea who runs it as such.......possibly local council?

No idea

Well the only point i would be really worried about is the first one,laughing and talkng when there is no one there is quite strange and i am no doctor but it is one of the symptons of schizophrenia.The rest of your points can be put down to her being really stressed over meeting her dad and sister.I suppose all you can do is keep a closer eye on her and suggest she visits the doctor.Maybe your flatmate could offer to go with her?

I agree with geminilady,
This does show some signs of schizophrenia with her laughing and talking to herself and signing her mum's names on card's etc.
I think it would be in the her best interest if someone could go alongside her to the doctors and telling them what's been happening.
I'm not a GP either, but if she was diagnosed schizophrenic then she can carry on leading a full happy life with having the proper medication.

It's tricky, but I guess you'll have to play Thursday by ear? I mean, if S is expecting to see you that day, then if you cancel, even if it's in her best interests, then she might not take well to it? It might well be that come Thursday she might find it all too much anyway. So I know this isn't helpful, but all you can do is see how it goes...

Re local remembrance tree area - I'm not sure how that works, but sounds a lovely idea. I know you have a significant anniversary in January. Perhaps you could check out your local council's website and see if there's any info about it on there? Or else give them a call? They may have some alternative suggestions also. Sx

Yeah, it's sad when people are on there own. I've been there and it's not very nice

Not shocked, maybe that the eldest still lives at home, but I left home as soon as I turned 16.

Sounds just like me, trusting is very hard and you question every small thing

How did you survive at that age?
