My sister keeps crying for the past few days for hours of the night, won’t accept help, won’t accept any medicine to calm her down, and doesn’t want to talk about what’s making her upset. Now it’s around 3AM and just left to go out for a walk my mom kept persisting for her to not do it and instead walk in the parking lot but she said no and now she left to go walk. I sleep in the same bedroom as her and don’t get enough sleep because of her and there’s nowhere else in our small apartment for me to sleep at.

Sharing space with our family members is definitely a trial at times. Their neurodiversity can wreak havoc on a sleep schedule. I hope you can figure out a way to secure your sleep.
Try meditation to calm yourself down. There are YouTube videos that show you how to do it, such as: 10 minute guided meditation

Doomgeneration,
I’m sorry you’re going through this right now,
This disease is incredibly frustrating and hard!
I can’t imagine how worried you and your mom must be when your sister is in that frame of mind out walking around in the street
I’m sorry to hear that you’re sleeping arrangements have not improved.
Sleep deprivation is horrible for your mental health and everything else of course you already know.
If your sister does not want to talk about it I wonder if she would be willing to do something with art to help Express her feelings.
I can definitely relate to feeling stressed out and upset by this disease, even though I am in a different state than my sibling he sends so many messages throughout the day anywhere from 10 to 200 lately there’s been a lot of nonsense stuff, he also call multiple times a day he seems to be experiencing a lot of PTSD and living in the past right now recently the last few weeks he thinks he’s been poisoned by coffee and thought his weed was also poisoned.
I just feel really fed up today I suggested if you feel poisoned do not ingest what you think you’re being poisoned by.
I just don’t know my brain is so tired and unfortunately I’m working nights now and not being able to get to my nami meetings.
Are you still attending NAMI?
