i think keeping your phone the sane is a great thing to do. also next time she calls will you do me a favor and ask her if she would consider an injection? tell her aristada or invega. either one... amd maybe if you could try to persuade her into a medical poa with you being the poa. you can essentially help carry out her medical wishes when she cant. but she has to be lucid when you do the paperwork. but drill into her brain the injection, try aristada because it works on extreme cases of psychosis involving women. will she be your old amanda? no, as it sounds the disease hit her pretty hard but will she have a more satisying life. yes. its about her life, not your guys friendship at this point. think about all she lost. her future, her family, her best friend, her health, her home, her sense of safety. she lost eeverything. so if you can get her on a medication that works and then she will have back some of her sense of safety and trust you. its a very hard illness to treat and cope with but it is possible to make it to a somewhat normal life. dont lose hope for her because there is always hope. i was diagnosed in 2015 with postpartum psychosis, undifferianted schizophrenia, and manic-depressive bipolar disorder. i had events of running away, of not eating, of extreme thirst and hunger, sleeping in cars, yelling at strangers in strange places, of not being able to eacape a world that is truly truly horrid. the worldis horrid and unrelenting to the psychotic mind. and most of the world at best just shrugs and ignores the woes and pains of a schizophrenic. its unbearable painful to be suffering to that degree and have no relief medically, spiritually, physically, and/or emotionally. so please convince her to try an injection. or just bug the nurses every shift change about how an injection would benefit her. the squeeky wheel gets the oil... be her squeeky wheel.
