He sees his worker and the p-doc that's also with his HOPE team tomorrow at 2 & 3.
Today he's still hearing stuff; says it's not quite as bad, but still wants me to sleep in the rec room!
I got out my literature today that they gave me from HOPE (Helping Overcome Psychosis Early) & said that I was sure he knew this anyway, but I wanted to point it out anyway....then showed him the part where it says that use of weed, speed, ecstasy & street drugs can cause a relapse or make symptoms worse. I just wanted to "call a spade a spade".
I said that other things can have an impact also, like diet, sleep, exercise, stress, but it's a given that drugs can cause problems.When the voices have been stopped for a bit, (& he's gotten over it before, so I'm trusting that he'll get over it this time also) I'll be being VERY straightforward as to discussing it with him.
I'm so yearning for some sunny days to brighten things up! On the other hand, it's above freezing & apparently is going to remain so into this week, so snow is melting.
