We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

don't have a relative in the same situation like people I know close to me aren't in the same exact situation but I know so many people know what I'm talking about and what I'm going through so that's like a big reason why I thought it's good to share

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

on your platform too.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

While in PA, my husband got an opportunity to move with his job and we could have moved to North Carolina, Virginia, different places along the East coast.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

And one of them being back to Jersey.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

And I chose to go back to Jersey.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

You know, I pushed for that because I wanted to help with my family.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

I didn't want to leave them and with everything going on.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

So we moved back to Jersey.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

And that's one thing I will say too, is that I've learned to definitely do things for yourself and

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

not make these big decisions based on other people because now I see that I would definitely not want to be in New Jersey if I had a choice.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

We would love to live in North Carolina, so to think that we had that opportunity and passed it up to come back to Jersey is wild.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

But at the moment, I did because of Brian's situation.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

absolutely not blaming him i'm just saying that was that's where i was at i just felt like i couldn't do anything because of what was going on so now we're all back in jersey and where we are at today so recently my parents got brian to sign the i think it's a hipaa release form to have access to his information so we're we're at a good point where we can at least

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

help him in that sense.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

And he is stable to where he

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

does have delusions always so he's not in our reality but he doesn't have as many like manic episodes he still does have depression and suicidal ideations but we have learned how to deal with those and a big thing is that i would say for every anybody to know when dealing with somebody going through delusions

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

to not go against it not to try to disprove what they're saying but rather acknowledge it and try to move on to the next thing like like brian saying that he's jeff buckley like okay like how i usually go about is i just tell him okay cool like so have you seen a good movie lately

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

So you're not necessarily saying that it's the truth, but you're not fighting it because that's his reality.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

So I think to him, it's like saying the sky is green when obviously it's blue.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

You don't want to... I mean, his reality is that the sky is green and not blue.
