My son was diagnosed 2 years ago when he was 23. He is on medication now and all seems good for about 6 weeks . He works, looks after himself keeps regularish contact then it all goes to s#*t! He goes missing for 3 days I get the odd phonecall and he is just low, hard on himself for past mistakes, hard on himself for what he has put family through then can either binge on cocaine or vodka then when this is done feels massive regret and guilt has a good 6 weeks then we wait for the next spiral out of control. I have realised that there is a pattern that it's usually when there is an event coming up eg. Christmas and any other gathering of sorts. I know he gets super anxious about the thought of being in a room with family/friends and how he is perceived.i have told him he doesn't have to come to any kind of social/family gathering if he doesn't feel like it. I just don't know what to do to prevent these regular blow outs. Anyone can advise it would be appreciated.

Is it possible he feels some aspect of his life is insurmountable?
Got kids he doesn't see / can't see? Does he have an address he calls his own? Transport? etc
Addressing the elephant may be the only fix.
