So I posted my sons story recently about him being arrested for cp and how he was lost and angry about the stigma and the embarrassment. Well to top it off his fiancé broke up with him but she agreed to meet with him one more time. I had a bad feeling about it. Well I was right. She meet up withhom and told him she didn't love him anymore and he flipped out and lost it ended up grabbing her arms. She is ok and has blocked his number at my request obviously shaken up by it. My son called me in a state of psychosis he was not even making sense. Told me If he had a gun he would blows his brains out right now. He ended up getting wasted at his job. I finally got him to talk to my husband and he convinced him to goto the hospital. He said he didn't want to be tied up. My husband told him if he cooperated he wouldn't be. Well they told them they were gonna hold him for 3-5 days and he flipped out my husband had to hold him until security could get there and restrain him and give him sedatives. He is now transferred to a psych facility. I am so distraught and upset and angry and confused. This is not my son. I couldn't even see his good soul in his eyes. I don't know what he is going do when he gets out. He was living with my mother but my mom is scared to have him stay and we are all so anxious and distraught from his behavior since he has gotten out of jail. Fortunately his manager told my husband he would still have a job when he gets out. I emailed his po and called him to let him know hopefully he doesn't get violated. Any guidance on what I should do it appreciated. I thought him being arrested was my worst nightmare but this psychosis is way worse. I am so scared I will never get my son back.
He needs professional help-----PRONTO.
Is it possible that he could be into some drugs that you are not aware of? Sometimes when people are acting bizarre, they are under the influence of some heavy drugs.
Maybe the charges just put him over the brink, but he needs to be hospitalized until there is an improvement.
He cannot continue down this road, and the longer you wait, the worse it will be.
His bouts of anger, uncontrollably crying, cutting himself, and depression certainly needs to be dealt with. He is a very confused young man.
I certainly hope he can get the help he needs so badly.
God Bless you and your son. You will be in my thoughts.

Agree with Rew. Sounds like the arrest sent your son over the edge. He might have been having symptoms before, but just didn't show them. Often, mental illnesses don't show up until people are in their 20's. Hopefully, after being observed in the psychiatric facility for a few days, the doctors will have a pretty good idea of what is going on with him and you can take it from there.
You are in a tough spot, however. You are his mom, but he is likely old enough that he legally makes his own decisions. It will depend on the laws of your state. You feel responsible for him, but you may not be able to legally be responsible.
On another post, I had recommended NAMI (National Alliance of the Mentally Ill). This is a community support group and you may find one in your area. You will need support and education. Most of our communities have failed to provide adequate resources for the the mentally ill. If you son has serious problems, you will be pretty much be on your own. NAMI groups are generally very helpful, however.
Keep in touch and let us know how it is going. Sorry you have to go through this. It is a scary time.
Sounds like your son has had a similar reaction to this incredibly stressful situation, and I'd encourage you to find him some treatment, quickly.
