I'm here for a vent more than anything!
DS1 is 28 and has had health issues since mid teens. He doesn't live at home, he works and is studying for a degree. He has 3 DC by his ex whole other thread He contacted me to say he went to the hospital as he had thoughts of killing someone, not to worry Confused he would ring me later. A bit later said he had given them my number as they wanted to speak to me. The doctor then rang me, we chatted for half an hour, he even asked if I thought he could do it and I said yes! Sad they said they would have a multi disciplinary meeting and decide what action to take. The doc even said 'he is very articulate and as matter of fact' I was home within 10 mins, told DH what was happening, to get a message from DS to say they had released him! I went to pick him up, he said he can't remember anything from Sunday night until this morning.He was hearing voices this morning but was aware enough to know to get help. He is scared of himself and what he could do and worried as his bank account is empty and he doesn't know if he paid his bills!
They can't decide what is wrong with him, over last 3 years, bipolar, BPD, narcissistic personality disorder, adult ADHD have all been discussed. They did say he is Aspergers with high IQ.

In which world is it ok to let back out onto the streets someone who has delusions, disassociation and voices without support in place, they are booking 'talking therapy' for him, he will be put on a waiting list! ARRGGGGHHH
Where do we go from here...

Glad it seems to have done the trick, hope he gets the help he needs now.
