Getting along with my sister again

Lounge
1

I visited her in Oregon last week and we had a nice visit and she took me out breakfast and then lunch the next day and we spent 3 hours at a museum but two days after I got back I was mad at her and accused her of some stuff she was innocent of. That was two days ago and she got mad and upset with me and we argued and there were negative feelings between us.

I waited two days for her to calm down and then I was going to call and apologize but an hour ago she actually called me and we both apologized and she said she understands that my schizophrenia can make me misinterpret things and that what seems real to me is not always in fact reality. She told me it upsets her when this happens but that she doesn’t wish anything bad for me and only wants the best for me. We talked for 15 minutes and now everything is cool between us. I just got to have better impulse control and not lash out at the people who care about me the most.

Yeah it’s good that you guys made up. Family can be a great support system so it’s good not to have a wedge there. I understand though about how the delusions can trick your mind sometimes.

I am currently not speaking to my whole family except for my mom…they look down on us for my wife possibly getting her disability benefits and that was the last straw…they are all wealthy.

My Sister has always been really cool with me, my whole family was really good about it tbh, even my cousin helped get me to hospital when I was unwell and he was a paramedic army vet.
