My twelve year old has had a psychotic break. I am terrified!

Posted by lain59 @lain59, Jun 12, 2012

It has been four days. His doctor has not called me back. He had a total psychotic break, my son, Tristan. My adolescent sons, Nicholas and Tristan and I are all Bipolar. We have dire finacial problems.
My son is not getting better! He just threw up because he saw fish eyes staring at him in the mirror. Help please! How long will this last? His school had been horrid, really nasty to him, and my husband had been too, as well to me. CPS is investigating because of this and the fact my husband (after Tristan threw up last month) told him he should not take his medicine. He over ruled me until he went on a trip. No before that. I got Tristan to a doctor, who put him on Zantac, and all was well. Then, the day before his birthday, five days after he had been steadily taking his medicine, I had bought his favorite doughnut and put the numbers twelve in candles on it. He broke. He was seeing horrible faces, hearing terrible, guttural moans, etc. He clung to me as he begged to go to the hospital for the first time with his eyes closed.
Can he get better? I am terrified!!!

I as a mother can only say that your fear must be so immense for you. In this situation I probably if he as asking I would take him back to the hospital. It's very hard for a twelve year old to experience visions that are frightening him so much. I'm sure in time that he will get better and stablized. But this will take time my sweetie. I have just noticed the photo that Tris has done did he name this himself, truely amazing. May I ask if he has any signs of Asphergers. This is the kind of picture that I have seen over the years of teaching. Always here. Hugs Annie x0

The words are truely amazing. I wish that I could see the whole picture too. Would love to see more of his work. The reason I asked is that I have worked alot with Aspherger childen and to me Tris is showing a lot of the traits that go with this. While your waiting for a diagnosis. it may be good to collect some of his wrtitngs and art work in a folder. Take care Hugs Piglitxo
