Hi I just wondered if anybody has experienced someone going through this and what it sounds like?! Over the last 10 years a relative had turned to drugs (weed predominately and a lot of it we think although don’t know what else although he told one of his friends he was on heroine at one point although no evidence etc and he lived with his parents and they noticed no visible ‘signs’ of him being on it although don’t know if you can keep that a secret? ) and has been very destructive- hygiene has gone down the drain both himself and his environment, irrationally aggressive, has no involvement with anyone, disappears and then sends pictures of himself trying to kill himself ( belt round neck etc) saying it’s everybody’s fault and then goes mental when we call the police and try and look for him (happened a few times now) and most recently it seems as if he is living another reality. He is saying things that have happened when he was younger which haven’t happened at all although he is convinced they have, saying how he thinks he could have been world famous (don’t know what in) , his body is so elite it should be used as a case study at universities (it’s just a normal human body like you and I) and now he’s talking about how he has 20+ business ventures he’s going to do across the world and how he’s buying land in foreign countries and has contacts around the world that can help him (he is in significant amount of debt from the drug use). He also hates his parents and treats them badly but then goes to them when he needs money (I know they have given him a few thousand pounds etc) His behaviour has always been destructive however it is getting to the point where his thoughts are not making sense and I worry about what this even is? if he’s a genuine safety concern and the knock on effect this could have on inidividuals and as a family. He absolutely refuses to get help for himself no matter what we have tried and we have offered everything as he doesn’t see himself as a problem and cannot see the destruction he is doing. Has anybody got any similar stories/experience/insight. It’s just awful!
