Hey guys.
I don't really post here very often, and only occasionally show up in the comments, and when I do I usually say something that not many agree with. I'm at my spiritual, physical, and mental ends and don't know where to turn. I'm sorry if some of this repeats or runs together but I am absolutely wrecked right now.
My little brother is 12 years old. He's a good kid. He had some developmental issues when he was younger, but we've worked through those. I love him. He's my brother. Right now I'm just scared out of my mind.
My brother was having some mental issues recently, so my parents decided to take him to a therapist. It help immensely. Oh man guys, I can't even put it into words. For a long time it felt like my brother was drifting away mentally, but this therapy pulled him back. I couldn't believe it. He had been better than ever and my entire family was absolutely overjoyed. Last weekend was the first weekend in a while where it felt like he was actually all the way there. Making full conversation and jokes and everything.
Last Monday afternoon he goes to his therapy session and he comes back worse than ever before. He's come back acting like a paranoid schizophrenic. I don't know if it's something triggered by the therapy or what but it is scaring me. I'm terrified. Not of him, but for him and for his future. Nothing he says makes sense anymore. Everything is connected for him. He says he's seeing things like people with golden eyes and that he sees God and Satan fighting. He looks at everyone with this crazy look on his face and his eyes and constantly speaks just random crap. Today he broke down crying at dinner and said that he feels like he's not a person. I think his exact words were "just because I'm going through this doesn't mean I'm not a person." He feels like we're treating him as less than human but we're not or not trying to. We're just all scared and confused. All my parents do when he's not around is cry and fight about what's going on. He won't listen to anything I say. I can't get through to him. All I can do is cry. My sisters are scared. I'm scared. My parents are scared. We're all sad and we all love him. We just want him to be better and I don't know what to do.
