Recently your friend relapsed he called me and I came to be there in the time of need. He had his paranoia Grows by the minute checked himself into psychiatric hospital for help. But the paranoia is still with him thinking everyone's coming to get them I'm just not sure what to do with that.

Thanks for sharing. Start by telling yourself that everyone is not coming to get you. Say it occasionally, as calmly as you can while you breathe slowly. Then think of things you know are true. Sometimes it rains, sometimes it snows, sometimes the wind blows. You are an important and I ique creation, you are loved.

Is it alcohol? Then it is delerium Tremens. Sounds not so because you didn't mention alcohol but if he did have severe alcoholism and all he should be in the E.R! Look it up. If he was off booze for a couple days after hard core drinking it could be D.T's. If not, I'm sorry. Ya drugs would do this as well.

You listened. You probably said the right thing. When we put ourselves in a supportive role, we are gifted the grace to talk one another down/lift each other up.
