I was wanting to hear of people's experiences supporting someone with mental health whilst they are overseas.
Our sibling does not wish to come home as they are having "their breakdown" on a gorgeous Greek isle. They planned this breakdown and chose not to take medication overseas with them (reactive medication, they don't take a daily mood stabiliser). Enjoying the hypomanic state as people so often do. Another sibling has flown over their medication to them, they have had a telehealth with their Psychiatrist, we are trying to get someone to come and stay with them for another few weeks until they 'are ready' to come home. Their flight is in 2 1/2 weeks time. They have continued to refuse to take their mood stabiliser, however the Psych has said that is OK for now as they are managing to sleep for short periods.
Our biggest worry is that anything outside of my siblings control is triggering them. Their environment is mostly controlled for now, in a very peaceful sleepy coastal village. However, navigating airports/flights etc is going to be very difficult. We don't have the financial resources to send anyone else over to fly back with her when she deems herself ready.
I'd really just like to hear others experiences of a loved one being overseas and mentally unwell.
