intervention plan

I mentioned in the previous post that i was going to post this, so here it is. This is my INTERVENTION PLAN (what to do if you notice I’m getting sick again)

THESE SYMPTOMS APPEAR IF I AM GETTING SICK AGAIN

  1. Sleeping more often
  2. Sleeping less often or not as well due to nightmares. Awake all hours
  3. Irritable, anxious, irrational, unable to concentrate
  4. mild Paranoia, feeling watched
  5. Appear to be fidgety, or paying attention to something other than you when you speak
  6. Notice me concentrating on or watching something that is “not there”
  7. I say I feel different or weird or things “look different”
  8. I cannot remember mediocre things

THINGS ARE REALLY BAD AND I WILL NOT NOTICE IM ILL WHEN:

  1. Im paranoid and am talking about video cameras or being followed by police
  2. I mention the house is changing, looks different, or I cannot remember where I am
  3. I am audibly talking to people who “aren’t there”
  4. you catch me watching things, or afraid of things that aren’t there
  5. Lots of nightmares means im awake as much as possible
  6. Im injuring myself on purpose

WHAT TO DO IF YOU NOTICE THESE SYMPTOMS:

  1. mention it to me, usually I will notice the same thing unless I’m too far gone
  2. tell me to call my psychiatrist, and make sure I do
  3. tell me to do something to relax, sometimes that will help
  4. if its really noticeable, don’t let me drive (if things “look different” I’ll lose my perception and shouldn’t be driving)

WHAT TO DO IF THINGS ARE REALLY BAD

  1. call mobile crisis
  2. call dr black / laura white immediately
  3. take me to the ER
