I talked to Brian today and he said he's tired of living like a vegetable. I was sympathetic but also tried to explain to him that it's a process he's going through and it is possible to get through it. I also asked him if he was offered counseling, would he take it. He said yes. Yet his ex has denied that to him. I also learned from his best friend that she's had all the anti depressants taken away from him. Well, I'm not giong to sit back and let that wonderful man be treated so poorly. Oh, best friend also said that once ex found out that she wouldn't be getting any money from him, that she's not moving Brian to her. So, that is a big plus! It seems to both of us that she was just in it for some money. There's more info on that but won't get into it here. But, the hospital is wanting him out on 11/29. Where will he go? I'm so worried about him. He told me he didn't deserve help and I asked him why. He just said because he didn't. I informed him he did deserve it. I didn't remind him about what I said, about never giving up on him.

After I hung up with him. I called the nurse's desk. I was going to talk to the doctor but it was a holiday. I talked with the nurse a little about Brian and his situation. She was very understanding. She looked through his file and did see where it was noted about refusal of psychiatric help :Tantrum: I also found out that neither best friend or myself was on his list. The only other name beside's ex was the friend taking care of Brian's cats. So, I had my name added and left a message for the doctor to call me on Monday. Pray for some good results! I'm going to be very careful how I talk to the doctor since the ex has possibly gotten kind of testy with them. There's more info about it not being a good idea to live with the ex but I was trying to respect Brian's decision. Any advice about the conversation with the doctor on Monday would be much appreciated. I thank you all for your help and maybe one day, when I'm not about to fall apart myself, I can help someone else here.
