22:24:00 <^bozojim> it is not
22:24:00 <ynnoB> like you try to talk to him and he abuses you back

22:26:00 <^bozojim> as I try to avoid conflicting as much as I can
22:26:00 <ynnoB> too bad if they don't like it.. your health is more important

22:38:00 <HellFury> he went off at the ambos and police
22:38:00 <^bozojim> oh no
22:38:00 <HellFury> they had to restrain and tie him down
22:39:00 <HellFury> hand cuffs
22:39:00 <^bozojim> yikes
22:39:00 <HellFury> then strap him
22:39:00 <HellFury> chook had a um psychotic episode today
22:39:00 <ynnoB> he is in good hands now
22:39:00 <HellFury> which resulted in ambos and cops being called
22:39:00 <^bozojim> like that is a major psych one
22:39:00 <HellFury> yeh i should know by monday
22:39:00 <ynnoB> it's terrifying having an episode and you're alone
22:40:00 <^bozojim> it is
22:40:00 <HellFury> ISDP said he was screaming abuse and going off big time
22:40:00 <ynnoB> poor guy
22:40:00 <eddie> I have to strap someone down before, so I well know what they go thru.. esp when they stop taking medications
22:40:00 <ynnoB> yeah
22:40:00 <HellFury> then when then got worse when he saw the straps and hand cuffs
22:40:00 <HellFury> ISDP said he hasn't been taking his meds
22:41:00 <^bozojim> oh no
22:41:00 <HellFury> so he stopped taken them when he got here
22:41:00 <ynnoB> that's why he had an episode
22:41:00 <^bozojim> yes
22:41:00 <HellFury> and hasn't been taking them since oct last year
22:41:00 <ynnoB> that long? wow
22:41:00 <ynnoB> that's like a year
22:41:00 <HellFury> yeh
22:41:00 <ynnoB> that's bad
22:41:00 <^bozojim> pressure build up
22:41:00 <HellFury> i had james go in his room check what meds he is on
22:41:00 <ynnoB> yup
22:41:00 <ynnoB> did he find them?
22:42:00 <HellFury> what meds
22:42:00 <HellFury> no scripts
22:42:00 <HellFury> no pill boxes
22:42:00 <HellFury> no bottles
22:42:00 <HellFury> nothing
22:42:00 <ynnoB> well yeah it's been a year
22:42:00 <HellFury> he checked the whole room
22:42:00 <^bozojim> and services did not pick it
22:42:00 <HellFury> he said no sign of any prescription being picked up
22:43:00 <ynnoB> what if the hospital got in contact with his psychiatrist? would that help>
22:43:00 <ynnoB> ?
22:43:00 <ynnoB> so he stopped taking his meds when he moved
22:43:00 <HellFury> he wasn't seeing one while in syd that i am aware of
22:43:00 <^bozojim> thats not good
22:44:00 <ynnoB> where was he getting his scripts from?
22:44:00 <HellFury> his dr
22:44:00 <ynnoB> do you know the name of the doctor?
22:44:00 <HellFury> but he never transferred all his details
22:44:00 <HellFury> nope
22:44:00 <ynnoB> bugger
22:44:00 <HellFury> and its gonna be hard now to get that when he is in hospital
22:44:00 <^bozojim> it will
22:44:00 <HellFury> unless i get ISDP to snoop through his stuff again
22:45:00 <ynnoB> the hospital could get in contact with his doctor to find out what meds he has been prescribed
22:45:00 <^bozojim> they should
22:45:00 <HellFury> and get his dr's files
22:45:00 <HellFury> he won't talk
22:45:00 <HellFury> not if he has been sedated
22:45:00 <ynnoB> yeah
22:45:00 <HellFury> which i think they had to do in the end
22:45:00 <HellFury> coz he was hysterical and screaming
22:45:00 <ynnoB> they usually do that with new patients
22:45:00 <HellFury> when the cops and ambos restrained him
22:46:00 <HellFury> ISDP said they had to handcuff him to the trolley before they could strap him down
22:46:00 <HellFury> he was getting off
22:47:00 <^bozojim> that in tiself is a can of worms
22:47:00 <HellFury> hes been going off though Jim
22:47:00 <^bozojim> yes true
22:47:00 <HellFury> he took his mood out on the sex chan and ops
22:47:00 <ynnoB> 1 year without meds is a long time.. I'm surprised he didn't have an episode sooner
22:47:00 <^bozojim> I am too
22:47:00 <HellFury> and then he ranted and raved under 3 of mu posts on fb
22:47:00 <HellFury> its been building up
22:48:00 <HellFury> he woluld do weird stuff
22:48:00 <HellFury> and then apologize
22:48:00 <ynnoB> ok
22:48:00 <^bozojim> I know down teh shed I have to be on teh lookout for that sort of thing
22:48:00 <HellFury> then the muttering outside
22:48:00 <ynnoB> yeah
22:48:00 <HellFury> laying on grass staring up at the sky talking just utter shit
22:48:00 <HellFury> then it was in the garage in his underwear
22:48:00 <^bozojim> I have done the mental health first aid course and my mental health training
22:48:00 <ynnoB> yeah his ranting made no sense
22:48:00 <HellFury> on wed when ISDP got home from work
22:49:00 <^bozojim> it is still not easy to pick
22:49:00 <ynnoB> no it's not
22:49:00 <^bozojim> some hide it well
22:49:00 <ynnoB> yup
22:49:00 <HellFury> then this morning it was laying in the middle of the road forcing cars go around him while throwing junk mail
22:49:00 <ynnoB> wow
22:49:00 <HellFury> and that was enough for ISDP to call the ambos and cops
22:49:00 <ynnoB> well forsure for chook's safety
22:50:00 <^bozojim> yes
22:50:00 <HellFury> yeh and well ISDPS
22:50:00 <^bozojim> should not have got to that stage
22:50:00 <ynnoB> no it shouldn't have
22:50:00 <HellFury> he felt bad
22:50:00 <HellFury> but he knew he needed the help
22:50:00 <HellFury> then he msged me on fb
22:50:00 <HellFury> he rarely fbs anymore
22:50:00 <ynnoB> of course he did.. it's not an easy thing to do to a friend
22:50:00 <^bozojim> it is not
22:50:00 <HellFury> but he couldn't remember my no so he msged me on fb
22:51:00 <ynnoB> k
22:51:00 <HellFury> i was in woolies when he rang me
22:51:00 <HellFury> i went outside and just sat head in hands thinking fuck i shoulda warned him about the schitzophrenia
22:51:00 <ynnoB> warn who? isdp?
22:51:00 <HellFury> yeh
22:52:00 <HellFury> and i forgot
22:52:00 <ynnoB> didn't he know?
22:52:00 <^bozojim> they should have seen it
22:52:00 <HellFury> no
22:52:00 <HellFury> not until i told him today
22:52:00 <ynnoB> oh I thought isdp knew chooks has schizophrenia?
22:52:00 <ynnoB> oh
22:52:00 <HellFury> he was literally omg what the hell
22:52:00 <ynnoB> well he knows now
22:52:00 <HellFury> then said i got a friend who has it
22:52:00 <HellFury> and has someone come out to help him
22:53:00 <ynnoB> good
22:53:00 <HellFury> so hes gonna do some ringing around monday and get someone to come out and help chook
22:53:00 <^bozojim> good
22:53:00 <ynnoB> yeah that's a good idea
22:53:00 <HellFury> he needs it
22:53:00 <ynnoB> yup
22:53:00 <^bozojim> he does
22:54:00 <ynnoB> if you didn't live too far you could have been there for him
22:54:00 <HellFury> and from what ISDP says theres no sign of any meds apart from what he takes for his bowel problems
22:54:00 <ynnoB> but you can still be there for him thru isdp
22:54:00 <ynnoB> does chooks have his phone with him?
22:54:00 <ynnoB> prolly not
22:55:00 <HellFury> no
22:55:00 <ynnoB> maybe when isdp visits him he can call you so you can talk to chooks?
22:55:00 <HellFury> all he has is the clothes on his back
22:55:00 <HellFury> no wallet no phone
22:55:00 <HellFury> nothing
22:55:00 <^bozojim> not sure if it would work as he would be sectioned as an involuntary patient
22:55:00 <ynnoB> yeah I remember you telling me that
22:56:00 <ynnoB> definitely, ^bozojim which is what I said.. that he would have been admitted as an involuntary patient
22:56:00 <^bozojim> yes
22:56:00 <HellFury> i reckon they would have him in isolation while trying to work out what meds he should be taking
22:56:00 <^bozojim> sorry I missed it
22:56:00 <HellFury> for his safety and others
22:56:00 <ynnoB> yes true, HellFury
22:56:00 <ynnoB> yup
22:56:00 <ynnoB> especially that they had to handcuff and strap him
22:56:00 <HellFury> coz once the sedative wears off and he remembers the fact he was strapped and hand cuffed
22:57:00 <ynnoB> during an episode a person can be very strong
22:57:00 <HellFury> it will trigger another episode
22:57:00 <HellFury> ISDP said he almost broke a cops arm that was restraining him in the bed
22:57:00 <ynnoB> wow
22:57:00 <HellFury> he grabbed and twisted hard
22:57:00 <HellFury> til the baton connected and he let go
22:57:00 <ynnoB> yes he wouldn't know his own strength
22:58:00 <HellFury> but it hit the stretcher side enough to make him let go
22:58:00 <^bozojim> plus if he was having a delusion or hallucination
22:59:00 <HellFury> he was having i think isdp said he was laying down in the middle of the road waiting for a car to hit him while throwing junk mail
22:59:00 <HellFury> yesterday it was laying in the garage naked
22:59:00 <HellFury> muttering to himself
22:59:00 <ynnoB> he would have been suicidal
22:59:00 <^bozojim> yes
22:59:00 <HellFury> day before he was outside muttering laying on grass with a knife
23:00:00 <HellFury> the neighbor came out to tell ISDP about it
23:00:00 <ynnoB> that is really extreme
23:00:00 <^bozojim> tis
23:00:00 <HellFury> i told him give him an ultimatium when he gets out
23:00:00 <HellFury> if and when he does
23:00:00 <HellFury> i think he will be in for a month
23:00:00 <ynnoB> yup
23:00:00 <ynnoB> minimum
23:00:00 <^bozojim> at least
23:01:00 <HellFury> get help
23:01:00 <HellFury> or you need to go
23:01:00 <^bozojim> stabilised aand sorted
23:01:00 <HellFury> but it was enough to scare the shit out of ISDP and he has mild aspies
23:01:00 <HellFury> so he was like first person to ring Jackie find out what he did when he was with me
23:01:00 <^bozojim> schizophrenia and autism are linked
23:01:00 <HellFury> its got me running scared
23:02:00 <^bozojim> one of the more common mental illnesses with it
23:02:00 <HellFury> i lived with John who was not this bad but he had his moments
23:02:00 <^bozojim> us aspies can
23:02:00 <^bozojim> teh small part of us without mental illness can have our moments with meltdown and shutdown
23:03:00 <HellFury> whats worrying for both ISDP and i is that if he happens to go into a psychotic episode while ISDP is at work and destroys something
23:03:00 <^bozojim> yes teh melties and shutdowns scare us too
23:03:00 <HellFury> then its not tim who is liable its ISDP
23:03:00 <^bozojim> yes
23:03:00 <HellFury> coz it's his house
23:04:00 <^bozojim> I am sort of lucky I have the SCARED plans to try to protect em from situations of stress leading to the point of no return to meltdowna nd shutdown
23:05:00 <^bozojim> and no it is not a psych episode it is me becoming non compliant and meltdowns I go into the fetal position crying
23:05:00 <^bozojim> and it rebalances my self
23:06:00 <^bozojim> takes 10 to 15 mins for me to get myself back together and going again when i do
23:11:00 <HellFury> :S
23:12:00 <ynnoB> it's good to see you have a plan when you go into a meltdown, ^bozojim.. :)
23:12:00 <^bozojim> it is
23:13:00 <^bozojim> and I have about 7 SCARED plans to avoid it
23:13:00 <ynnoB> good
23:13:00 <^bozojim> I have a folder and on a stick the plans
23:13:00 <^bozojim> and my GP has them
23:13:00 <ynnoB> cool
23:13:00 <^bozojim> and I follow them
23:13:00 <^bozojim> but as with all things I can ahve a sudden sensory or nervous system overload that can trigger a meltdown
23:13:00 <ynnoB> unfortunately when it comes to mental illness the only plan you can follow is calling your doctor
23:14:00 <^bozojim> the slow build ones i can jump on
23:14:00 <^bozojim> yes it is
23:14:00 <ynnoB> and they try and treat you without going into hospital
23:14:00 <^bozojim> thats it
23:14:00 <^bozojim> I am lucky there as I do not have a mental illness
23:14:00 <ynnoB> I know.. I have a mental illness
23:14:00 <^bozojim> or one they cna find
23:15:00 <^bozojim> I do have serapax tablets if i know I may get into a situation that could lead to meltdown to take the edge off the sensory and overload
23:16:00 <^bozojim> 15mg is enough to take the edge off it
23:16:00 <ynnoB> that is a very old medication
23:16:00 <^bozojim> 30mg makes me dopey
23:16:00 <^bozojim> yes and it works for me
23:16:00 <ynnoB> that's good
23:16:00 <^bozojim> in 2 years of having a bottle I have used less than half of them
23:16:00 <ynnoB> I used to be on epilim.. was weaned off it over 2 months ago.. now I'm being weaned off risperidone
23:17:00 <^bozojim> nice
23:17:00 <ynnoB> you better watch out the expiry date
23:17:00 <^bozojim> teh serapx i use so rarely I do not need to worry about weaning
23:17:00 <^bozojim> these are about to expire so I got a new bottle
23:18:00 <^bozojim> I also ahve a sensory tool kit to support me calming down
23:18:00 <ynnoB> well I used to be on tablets but now I get depot done once a fortnight so I don't need to be on tablets anymore.. just the depot once a fortnight
23:18:00 <ynnoB> cool
23:18:00 <^bozojim> depotprovera?
23:18:00 <ynnoB> no
23:18:00 <ynnoB> fluenthixol
23:18:00 <^bozojim> ok I am not familiar with that one
23:18:00 <^bozojim> sorry
23:18:00 <ynnoB> something like that.. it's an old one
23:19:00 <ynnoB> no need to be sorry
23:19:00 <^bozojim> ok
23:19:00 <^bozojim> teh sensory tool kit has MP3 player, stress ball, ear phones, s stretch thing, rough fabric, sun glasses
23:20:00 <ynnoB> cool
23:20:00 <^bozojim> and the tool kit goes with em everywhere
23:20:00 <^bozojim> as if I feel the stress signs i go to a quiet place and calm down
23:21:00 <ynnoB> yes stress is what triggers me off normally.. I've had to learn years ago how to avoid stress.. so my life is pretty low stress these days
23:21:00 <^bozojim> yes :)
23:21:00 <ynnoB> medication can only do so much.. I had to change my lifestyle to stay healthy
23:21:00 <^bozojim> true
23:21:00 <^bozojim> which is a lot better than any meds
23:21:00 <ynnoB> yup
23:22:00 <^bozojim> the lot I do stuff with know my SCARED plans and let me go if i need to
23:22:00 <ynnoB> it's been 7 years since I was last in hospital
23:22:00 <^bozojim> wow well done
23:22:00 <ynnoB> this has been the longest I've stayed out of hospital
23:22:00 <ynnoB> thanks.. :)
23:22:00 <^bozojim> and unfortunately meltdowns are a natural part of autistic life
23:23:00 <ynnoB> 7 years ago is when I started the depot and it has helped me a lot
23:23:00 <^bozojim> and i still get tehm despite all i do
23:23:00 <^bozojim> I am glad it has
23:23:00 <ynnoB> I get meltdowns too
23:23:00 <ynnoB> :)
23:23:00 <^bozojim> I try to get home so I can have a meltdown ehre
23:23:00 <^bozojim> and pick myself up
23:24:00 <^bozojim> Bart also can feel them coming on and gets me out if he needs to
23:24:00 <ynnoB> oh that's great
23:24:00 <^bozojim> he si both autism and guide dog in one
23:25:00 <^bozojim> I am not violent in meltdown or shutdown or a risk
23:25:00 <ynnoB> cool
23:25:00 <ynnoB> that's good
23:25:00 <^bozojim> they let me go, keep an eye on me and let me calm down
23:25:00 <^bozojim> as if they try to intervene it can retrigger it
23:25:00 <ynnoB> yes you need your space like that
23:26:00 <^bozojim> and Bart makes sure we are safe
23:26:00 <ynnoB> :)
23:26:00 <^bozojim> he knows my 'safe;' spots

23:28:00 <^bozojim> the psychiatrist who reconfirmed my autism 2 and a half years ago said no mental illness
23:28:00 <^bozojim> or any medication he can give me
23:28:00 <ynnoB> good
23:28:00 <^bozojim> he is black
23:28:00 <^bozojim> and the serapax to take the edge off me
23:28:00 <ynnoB> nice.. he is a labrador?
23:29:00 <^bozojim> and admitted if I had to I could have a full tablet to calm me right down

23:30:00 <^bozojim> they are amazed how well i have a handle on my autism
23:31:00 <ynnoB> :)

23:32:00 <^bozojim> and I am teaching others with autism how i deal with it
