Thread: Psychotic (for Liam Dale)

Alright. She replied agreeably. And you don't need to worry about that he's not on any medication and he wouldn't take it if he was. He does get awful headaches though, so there are medicines for him in the upstairs bathroom - mostly painkillers and sleeping pills, but he doesn't like to take them so I wouldn't worry about it. Greiver had an aversion to medicine of any kind after everything, and she was loathe to push him on it. Its not your dedicated duty or anything, but if you could make sure he eats as often as possible that would help. You're welcome to use the kitchen to its fullest, and I would be grateful for your help. She flushed a little, but brushed it off with a shrug. Its not actually part of my duties to come over and cook for him all the time and sometimes its tough to get over here and cook for him. It wasn't a failing of hers, but she still felt bad about not always being able to help with Greiver. You don't need to worry about supplies though - as part of this household you'll have a small budget same as Greiver. It wouldn't be much use in housing two homeless people and then not providing them a stipend to live on. You don't need to worry about Greiver too much. She assured him. When he loses himself like this he's pretty much there until he pulls himself out again. He's been getting better and better about coming out, but it is taxing for him sometimes. Jen ran a hand through Greiver's hair, feeling the raised bumps of his scars under her fingers as she did so. Usually as long as he's got art supplies in his hand he'll not go anywhere, but if not then he can wander off. She shifted, and reached down to show off the tracker on Greiver's ankle. Its got a panic button if he gets into trouble, and we can find him if needs be. Usually though, he might wander a few blocks or get up on the roof or in a tree, but he's harmless. If he ever does wander off you can always call me, I have access to his GPS data, and if he pushes the panic button then it sends an alert to my phone. It doesn't happen very often though - as you may have seen by his bedroom wall, he's more likely to paint or draw on whatever surface is available before he goes wandering. He's also not in great shape right now anyway, so he can't go far. The first time he did it here, I found him crouched in front of a bush in the back garden, like it had something fantastic under it. She laughed softly. For the most part though, despite being in another place in his head he has a sort-of awareness of the world around him. He won't go walking off of ledges, and to a degree you can lead him somewhere if you need to. It was unusual, but Greiver was truly harmless. Typically though, I'd not recommend that Greiver go outside alone at the moment. If he does spend more than 12 hours in this state then I'd see about trying to get him to eat and drink, but long periods like that don't really happen any more, or if they do its a partial state - he keeps saying he sees butterflies, but he's still 'here', if he understand what I mean. Greiver experiences things that we don't, his mind creates places for him to go away from the real world. Sometimes he gets headaches if he tries to resist it for too long though, so if you see him struggling then encourage him to rest. He'll go into a dozing state like this. She petted Greiver's head again. Despite being 'away', Greiver also looked a bit sleepy. At this point if he didn't have a pad and pen he was more likely to doze off more than wander off. I'm always here if you have questions though. Jen assured him. Greiver is my top priority, so if you're worried about anything then call me. While you're here, you're in my care too in a way.
