BYI
Will can be very erratic and delusional to say the least. He usually does not talk publically and when he does it is only in very calm situations, he has a lot more obvious symptoms and very intense hallucinations and nightmares.
He may need support and comfort if certain situations and in alot of cases very little situations, he has been through a lot and fears it will still happen. He is scared and worried.
In occassions where he is acting perhaps childish or seems a little confused he may be regressing. Be gentle with him during this time.
If you think Will may be having an episode or being a bit delusional it is okay to point that out to him.
Will hallucinates and has what we call 'episodes' often. To help with these you may try to distract him by drifting him away from the topic by talking about things he likes, he likes dogs, space, history and a lot of other things. He likes to talk about other things too but those are the main ones that can grab his attention and can be easiest to drag him away from the focus of his hallucinations and episodes.
However If this does not work make sure to try and comfort him with what he needs though if you cannot do that it is okay.
Sherlock is very high maintenance and if you cant deal with that that is 100% okay and not your fault do not feel bad for not being able go help but if you do have any worries, concerns or questions please ask and we will try to help in whatever ways we can and try to drift him away from you if you really need. If you feel hes getting too attached to your relationship with him but dont want to tell him. When given the chance tell someone else and we will try to sort that out to help you and suit it to your boundaries.
Despite all this, there is no need to fear him as he is mentally ill and is getting better.
Do not patrionise or assume you know more about him then we, his headmates, do, because i can assure you that you dont and youre not that important, babe.!
Do not feel bad for not being able to help him if you cant!
Will may apologise alot as he fears you will be angry with him and often times he will ask people if hes annoying or if you hate him. It is best not to lash out in these conditions as it can cause him to sort of spiral in a sense and overthink A LOT.
signs of him regressing : Puppy gifs. Grammar dissapearing. Emoticons. After a situation where he has lashed out and needs to calm down. Side note! try not to baby talk him but its alright if you do. Nicknames and stuff like that if okay but hes a fully grown man not a literal baby.
If you're a partner of ours it can take him some time to warm up to you and finally trust you, dont take it to heart thats just how he is.
Im sure ive missed some things but feel free to ask questions!
Thanks for reading!
