I need good advice!

[jennymae36]

Im here because my husband has been dealing with anxiety and depression, but he has gotten worst. He has medicine but refuse to take them on a regular basis. He is in denial. He think things are happening or have happen, but they are not true, and he gets very upset when you tell him the things he is thinking is false. I try to be concern and considerate of his feelings but, its hard because he blames me for the things that are happening to him. Please give me some advice on how to deal with this until he get to see a Health Professional in another week. Please!

What kind of medicine is he taking off and on?

[jennymae36 in reply to Hidden]

He really dont take alot of medicine but the doctor thing steroid injections has offset something because he has bad back.

Sounds like psychotic episode. You should get him to the psychiatrist the fastest.

Thank you for sharing this painful situation. Sometimes it can be hard to help a spouse in this situation because he is your partner, not your patient. But hang in there! If I was feeling like he was, I'd be happy for my spouse just to listen to me freely without much correction if possible. Your patience will help tremendously. Depression feels very overwhelming, like you are stuck in a fog, and until his Health Professional can visit with him, he probably won't make sense of what you are explaining to him. Thank you for your dedication to him.

Thanks for the encouraging words, because it get hard sometimes. And it been days when I felt like giving up. But I dont because i wouldnt want him to give up on me, so thanks once again

What are his complaints? Does he have chest pains for example , that he thinks it from a posable heart attack ? Is he blaming you for his emotional state ? How long has he been going through this phase ?

[jennymae36 in reply to Ironj]

ita actually have gotten worst since Jan. this year, yeah he have complained of chest pains, here and there not back to back, yeah he blames me for his emotional state, cause he swears im cheating on him or have cheated and I have not. He leaves his phone around to record conversations and things like that, and he just knows im having a conversation with another man, or im even having sex with another man, and all it be is the TV, or just me and my boys having a regular conversation. He even told me he seen me having sex with another man, and that not true
