[QUOTE="pasajes4, post: 679932, member: 12856"] My son was first diagnosed when he was 8 years old. He heard voices and saw shadow people running past him all day long. Medication was a crap shoot. Things that should have worked made things worse. Those that did work almost destroyed his liver. This was all before he reached the age of 13. He began smoking weed at the age of ten just to shut the voices in his head up. He has some paranoia, but he has been able to "reason" it away ( with help) some of the time. He has said the worst is when he has to cling to a pole or a tree in terror because the ground is dissolving beneath him. He is now in his late teens and has suffered a stroke. The trauma of this incident has thrown his brain into high gear and now he is fighting not only the effects of the stroke, but also an extreme schizophrenic episode. I understand your turmoil and the PTSD that comes with living with a person who is going through this. Take care of you FIRST. You matter too. You deserve peace. You deserve to breathe in and out without the catch in your throat of what's next. We matter. [/QUOTE]
