[QUOTE="JKF, post: 600769, member: 12470"] Thanks so much wtw! It's not easy staying strong but I have to. I get times when it hits me right in the gut but I'm trying to learn to breathe deeply and move on. He stayed at the mission temp shelter Friday and Sat and he's back at SH as of yesterday. Apparently he was 72'd and not permanently kicked out although they did tell him that if he continues to break the rules and not take his medications he's out for good. I know it's only a matter of time before that happens so I'm trying to mentally prepare for that. It's such a shame bc when he was taking the Lithium there was a [I][B]clear[/B][/I] difference in his personality and behavior. He was starting to do well, seemed stable, was making good decisions, etc. Now that he's off the medications he's angry, irritable, and just plain doesn't care about trying. It such a sad, frustrating cycle but it's HIS choice. He's choosing to not take the medications and whatever happens as a result of that is based on his choice. His MHA worker is great. I wasn't so sure about her at first but she seems to really help him get things done. She's taken him to apply for SSI and helped him get his FS and GA. She knows he's very mentally ill - anyone who spends any amount of time around him can clearly see it - and she's trying to help him eventually get settled somewhere permanently. [/QUOTE]
