[QUOTE="JKF, post: 601914, member: 12470"] I know IC - it doesn't make sense. The Dr. said he can't function in a "group situation" but they want to put him in a house with 5 strangers and have them all share a kitchen and bathroom. That seems like a "group situation" to me. He'd have his own room but still. It makes me very nervous. He's at the motel for two weeks. Until the 31st. I'm going to try with all of my might between now and then to see if they will reconsider and put him in his own place. A studio apartment would be ideal. His own bathroom, small kitchen area, and living space wrapped up in one. In the meantime, he seems to be doing ok. He's taking his medications and seems to be holding up for the most part. I do have a couple of concerns though. One is that he's displaying some paranoid behavior. For example, the mirror is off of the wall and now covered with a blanket in a corner of his room bc he thinks something is going to come out of the mirror and get him. He also thinks the AC unit glows and that he hears weird whispering when he's talking on the phone. That really really concerns me. I left a message for the MHA worker asking her to call me as soon as she can. The other problem is that he binge eats all of the food he's given. He's always done that but it's getting really expensive now and I honestly don't have the money to keep feeding him if he's going to eat a weeks worth of food in a day. I've bought him groceries and home cooked food several times and he also went to the food pantry yesterday yet he's still out of food. His foodstamps won't be filled until the 1st and he has nothing until then so I'm bringing him one more bag of groceries today and making sure he understands that he needs to "budget" his food or he doesn't eat. So it's day by day but I'm learning to stay strong and be calm. One day at a time. [/QUOTE]
