It pours.
So what to say? How much to say?
My brother has had a mental health episode. It seemed very sudden and shocking. Not a huge amount of information available right now. He has been admitted to a short term facility and they currently believe it is an acute episode and they hope for a full recovery within a reasonable time period. The cause is currently unknown, tests are ongoing. It has only just happened a few days ago so the recovery depends on the cause and could be anywhere from a week to several months.
I'm not sure what I feel right now, worried, guilty, anxious, confused. There's so much unknown right now.
He came to my house on Saturday evening and he was very disturbed and confusing, I thought he just needed sleep. I sent him off to Dads house, Dad kept him there for most of the next day before deciding he wasn't improving and calling the police and ambulance etc. He spent one night cuffed and sedated in the local hospitals emergency department before being transferred to a different hospital that has a specialised mental health unit. He is now on some sort of medication while confined to the ward while they wait for him to calm.
There were/are also personal things happening outside of this situation that still involve him but don't relate to the episode. They are still very serious in nature and now I have to deal with them while he is unable to.
