hello @Shaz51
i had an appointment with mental health support person part of carers outreach link in my state.
she has been a breath of fresh air for me with all my turmoil with my son. i have told her she is my guardian angel. They come and go.
I was with her for nearly 2 hours and she was brilliant.
I told her that my biggest fear at the moment is that because my son is in denial of diagnosis therefore not on any medication, his CTO expired now in this state, he had already escaped to another state. i have tried contacting him again several times, phone, text but no response. his last words were i no longer have 2 sons i only have one son now. i would not send him any more money explained that i could not afford it. his dad has given him money so he heard from him again about a week ago for money for a taxi fare, he was moving again but would not say where.
i told the lady today, his illness is only deteriorating by the day as no medication, i am praying he will be noticed and detained and therefore medicated. as awful as that sounds. my fear was that they would not know him , and have details to contact us. they will also only detain him in hospital for a short period, release him, homeless, worse off. i had tried ringing the public hospital psychiatric ward in that state previously and they were most unhelpful.
So she picked up the phone and got through to the mental health section twice explained what was happening, passed the phone to me and i gave her my sons details etc plus my phoneno. and his dads phone no. i had to pass the phone back to the lady because i was too distressed by that time. so the good thing is that they have a note on file if he does get picked up. they have details about him and our contact nos. This is some relief and will help a little getting through christmas, smiling at everyone around me.
thank you for listening.
not feeling very articulate at the moment so goodnight for now and thank you again.
