I never in a million years thought I would EVER be having this conversation with one of my kids. Does this sounds familiar at all to anyone? This is NOT his imagination. This is what a psychotic episode is like. Hopefully this will help Dr. R to decide what we need to do. If anyone has seen this type of behavior please let me know. I'm at a complete loss. This is what has happened in the past except now he seems to be able to articulate the experience better. To me this is another psychotic break, meaning he has lost touch with reality. He did go to sleep after his Ativan and is resting for now. Please know that I was flying blind here. I didn't know what to say. I just needed to gauge whether it was his imagination or something worse. I did the best I could considering I had no idea what I was doing.
As his father it's hard to watch him go through this. He really seems emotionless. He's so "matter of fact" when he's talking about what he's seeing. That really bothers me because it"s almost as though it's a normal thing for him. That breaks my heart. We need to get him help. Monday will be spent making calls and preparations. Please say a prayer for Gavin.
Edit:* I do understand what he is saying. I'm just trying to be careful how I word the questions. I'm doing my best to not put words in his mouth..if that makes sense..*
