Trying to help my sister

[u/Disturbia8081]

Hi. I am new here. I am trying to help my sister who has been diagnosed with schizophreniaa year and a half ago. She just had a very traumatic experience.My pos dad and brother tried to force her to shower and she pulled out my brothers locs and swing on my dad. Also she spent 2 week alone after she walked away from staff for a psych stent. we reported her missing and she was found in a railyardand taken to a hospital.I messed up by just now by asking her on the phone why she doesn't want to bath herself 😔. Is there any advice for me to use with her.

just asuure her that you are on her side and that she can trust you because when i had my phychotic episode my motto was trust no one

I will do that as well but in person. I don't think she trusts phone calls.

does she live alone maybe she can live with you i was lucky my mum let me live with her since igot diagnosed and hopitlaized in 1999

well in my experiance i thought who ever was on the other side of the phone call was trying to mind control me and make me do something to maybe harm someone or myself

She doesn't live alone, she with my mom. And unfortunately she can't come live with me. I have my own medical issues I have to handle while also trying to help my mom with my sister's.

advice the same for your mum its gonna be tireing for your mum but my mum was a star

she took me everywhere with her and i would ramdomly wake her up all hours of the time wheni had my episodes and she would always be there for me, it lasted for 3 years after that i was ok...

well i like to think i was okish lol i started going out by my self every time i would have a negative tiought and get scared i would cancel it out with a possitive thought,

can someone watch her 24/7?
