To think something has happened to my mum?

[Pippa113]

My mum usually calls atleast once a day, usually more. Every Tuesday she comes here for her dinner and to see her grandchildren.

I spoke to her multiple times yesterday, the last thing she said was that she was going to see her sister today but was quite apprehensive about it because she is off her meds and has been behaving strangely (she has paranoid schizophrenia) and she doesn't like going round when she's like that.

Mum's phone has been off all day, this isn't like mum these days, she's always reachable and always calling. Her sisters phone is off too.

I have a sinking feeling that something has happened to her. I don't know what to do or if I'm being irrational / prejudice or ignorant.

Would I be contacted if something had happened? I can't go down there, 3 poorly DC here and no car.

Would you be worried?

Thanks for your kind messages I think when men go missing especially it isn’t taken as seriously but even MH as a whole is not always treated as an emergency. My Dad has also stopped his medication which I knew a few weeks before and had told them as he was being erratic again. On meds he was the loveliest person you could ever meet and give you his last pound if he had it.
I am so glad your aunt is ok I honestly had the worst anxiety reading your original post as I know how fast they can change and the situation to get out of hand.
lots of love to you and thanks ladies means a lot.

So sorry to read your post @Tweetypie27 . You tried your best, that’s what we are all doing.
I spent all summer trying to get MH support for my brother, finally he was sectioned in September. It’s an absolute battle sometimes.

Apologies for double post

@Pippa113 I'm so glad that your aunt is ok. I hope that she can be back on her meds and stable in time for her and your mumand you to anjoy a happy and peaceful Christmas
@Tweetypie27 I'm so sorry for your terrible traumatic loss. Much love to you. My son (with schizophrenia) went missing many times, and on several occasions the police were very helpful. But it is a lottery as they are overstretched and not trained for the emergency mental health roles that increasingly have to fill because of the horrible underprovision of healthcare.

Eventually, my son killed himself, and my last encounter with the police was when they knoccked on the door to tell me. From that point onwards the police were completely terrible. No liaison at all, not even to do what they promised us they would do -- letting us know when we could come and see his body. The inquest investigations are revealing a total lack of even basic record-keeping around the circumstances of his death.

That's awful so sorry

So sorry to read your story random789. Life can be so cruel. Take great care of you, you deserve it 💐.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
It's anger inducing.there should NOT be one single story like this. Can you imagine if this was any other illness.we wouldn't hear the end of it.
I hope your as ok as you can be.
