My daughter has Schizophrenia and is an outpatient here. Yesterday she contacted me and is having psychotic thoughts. She is an Adult and will not give permission to me to speak to her health providers. What can I do to help her during crisis?

I did the same thing when I was in the hospital the first time to my mom. It will pass as long as she takes her meds. Make sure that when she gets out she is taking her meds. Maybe buy her a 7 day day and night pull box to keep track of them and that way you can also keep track that she is taking them without asking her. It is very hard but it does get better. Maybe ask her if there is a code that you need that can help her contact you there was one for me my mom says and she got it out of me somehow over the phone. Most of all just be there for her no matter how hard it is. My mom sticking with me has meant the world to me and helped me stay stable. Good luck

Give her support. Do not argue with her during her outbursts. She will be just as confused as you will be. She doesnt understand why she has these thoughts. Be supportive and sensitive to the situation.

This is what I'm struggling with. I would say the "constant outburts" but they haven't been so constant anymore. This past month, I've done a complete turnaround. I've heard it from multiple people. Even my husband (not married yet), has talked about how good I've done and how far I've came. Two different occasions today between him amd I just didn't set right with me. I overthink everything so wanted to know what I did wrong to cause these situations to arise. I couldn't sleep until I got.it off my chest, but still never hollered, called him names....I actually cried. "Why did you lie to me?.I don't deserve that" escalated from there. I still never screamed, threatened to walk out on him and our kids, nada. Begged him to stay, and I would sleep p on the couch. I'm still balling from 12:30 when i told him.id go in the living room. By 1, my thoughts were so intense, I was scared.... and I needed his arms around me, but he was already snoring.
