[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We could hear him arguing and lecturing alone in his room. My mom said he was on the phone, but he wasn’t. When asked, he denied speaking. Horrible anti-woman rants.

My brother became increasingly paranoid about contagion. He was worried not only about germs/illness, but also developed ideas that certain foods or substances were impure. We’re Catholic so we don’t have any dietary or menstrual taboos, but he started behaving as if they did. I still lived at home at that time and he decided I was unclean when I had my period. Not that I was bleeding on anything. Just touching a plate or chair, I was making it unclean. This didn’t come out of Catholicism. We grew up with crunchy, Liberation theology Catholicism.

Later, we learned he was under the influence of a Hotep guru who sold cassette tapes near Lexington market.

How is he now? How are you? That had to be tough for you when coming of age. [/quote]

I’m not the pp, but for my family member the first few years had a lot of ups and downs but now in mid-twenties there has been huge progress. Negative symptoms still impact I don’t want to make it all rosy but they are taking college courses, able to have a basic job, engage with family. I’m hopeful in 5 more years he’ll be in an even better place  [/quote]
