My uncle (60M) tried meth a few days ago. Ever since he has been hallucinating and having strong delusions. Refusing to eat, drink, or sleep, and has hurt himself by falling many times.

He claims there are shadow alien people all around the house that only he can see, that he has special powers so only he can defeat them, that these people are harming him, they have weapons, etc. He has been destructive around the house, slamming doors, running around, throwing things at the “people” and breaking furniture.

He refused to go to the ER but we finally convinced him. We told them about these behaviors and hallucinations and that we are afraid he will accidentally harm someone. They treated him for the injuries from his falls and discharged us with no information or anything about this behavior. They said he is an adult and he doesn’t want treatment for his behavior so no one can do anything. I understand they are limited with what they can legally do. But they were almost AVOIDING the subject of his hallucinations when he would talk about it to them. They asked no questions at all to him.

So WHAT DO WE EVEN DO?????

Like he is destroying property, out of touch with reality, unsafe to be on his own (was running into the road at one point) and not eating or drinking at all. We have been taking turns sleeping and watching him. But we can’t keep doing this and it’s not stopping. Do we literally just have to do this forever? What do we do quit all our jobs? How do we know if this is psychosis from the drugs or just a complete psychotic break triggered by them?

ANY advice would be welcomed considering the hospital said nothing can be done. Where do we go from here??

(He is unwilling to receive treatment and has no insight, says there’s nothing wrong with him, he has “special powers” and that’s the only reason he sees them but we don’t.

How are my new little limelights doing?
