I say my prayers every morning. Your son will be in my intentions. God bless you and good luck. My wife’s family has suffered with issues of mental illness for many years. She always says it’s the hardest one to understand and treat because it’s not always visible like physical ailments.

You have your hands full, prayers sent
Bipolar will be easier to treat
Schizophrenia (guessing he is younger and Paranoid has not kicked in) will be a lifelong haul and keeping them on meds will be a lifetime pull. Not sure how to reach you but will communicate privately if needed.

I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine the emotional roller coaster that you’re on.
Being a parent is the hardest job most of us will ever have. There’s no manual. There’s no protocol. There’s no right answers. Hang in there and keep doing your best. That’s all we (you) can do.
Also, don’t neglect or ignore your own emotional needs at this time. That’s obviously not the priority, but you still have to take care of yourself.

Please be gentle with me on this.
My prayers are with your family. A few years back, a close family friend went thru this with her 15 y/o daughter but with fatal results. It has been devastating for their entire family and extremely heartbreaking for us as well. My daughter was her babysitter for years and they were like sisters despite the 7 year age difference.
I have no great words of wisdom or advice but again, will definitely pray that your young man finds the inner strength and peace to handle the issues he is dealing with.
Edited to add the one piece of advice I can give. Make sure to take care of yourself. You can’t be strong for him if you aren’t also taking care of yourself. And not sure if you have any other children but they will still need you as well. I know you said Jeremiah as a support team he will be working with. Make sure you and your husband if applicable have a support team as well. Whether that be friends and family, church group, or family counseling/therapy or some combination, don’t forget to take the care you need for yourself.

My sister was diagnosed with schizophrenia about 40 years ago. When the symptoms started appearing, it was a very exhausting time for my parents and myself. I will definitely be praying for your family.
I was in college and came home when my parents let me know how my sister had been acting and her symptoms. I was thinking I could spend some time with her and fix everything. I’m very analytical and I foolishly thought everything worked like math and engineering does. If this, then that. I learned from that experience that when it comes to people, sometimes more quality time and conversation accomplishes nothing. Sometimes you have zero control over anything. It doesn’t matter what you say or what you did or will say. Your words aren’t going to fix everything. You have to totally quit trying to fix stuff on your own and turn everything over to God and ask him to direct you, don’t pray only for your son. The second thing you need to remind yourself is that it is a medical condition. It is believed by some medical professionals that the cause of schizophrenia is due to a chemical imbalance in the brain, dopamine to be specific. Try not to get frustrated or angry at your son. Fortunately there are medications that can help and control the symptoms. My sister has been on medication for 40 years. It is important that someone administer his medication at least initially since the symptoms will reappear when not taken. My sister has had relapses when allowed to control her own medicine.
I’m sure you will be offered lots of resources. Years ago in the days before podcasts, I use to listen to a radio program called Focus on the Family hosted by Dr. James Dobson. He did an episode on schizophrenia and other psychological illnesses that really helped me understand what was going on and the medical explanations of what the causes are. I ordered the tape of the program back then to listen to several times. I bet the episode is somewhere on the internet, but obviously there are numerous other resources that can help.

You have been missed, and know that almost all of the strangers here will be hoping for the best for all of you and yours.

Why the frick would someone already scheduled for discharge without the fear of going back need prayers?
