Rather odd behavior

[rrichardson]

I have been with my husband for a total of 4 years, although we just got married in September 2018. He has always been intriguing and peculiar at the same time, but recently I have noticed that he seems a bit paranoid and delusional. Some of the things he says could be viewed as real from outsiders whereas others seem far fetched. I mentioned to him that I wanted to buy a kid's echo dot for our girls and he said that wasn't a good idea because then our privacy would be violated and that google would listen to our conversations, know things about us and other things of that nature. The government is not always going to protect us and that they may come kill us due to being christians. When someone in our house is sick he almost instantly gets it after. He smells and taste things that aren't in a recipe or present. He says that he is being abused by people and that he is always put last. I'm worried about him because his anxious thoughts and logical or illogical thought patterns are putting a damper on our relationship.

He's not in crisis mode. This is his behavior on a regular basis. It's more like he plans the victim and blames other people for being so angry. For example; when we get into an argument he will bring up the past and claim that actual people (me and my daughter) are taking advantage of him and being cruel to him. It's almost like he takes no responsibility for his actions and plays the victim.

Oh dear. I must admit on reading your post alarm bells started ringing very loudly. Has he ever been diagnosed with any mental health issues? If not he must get himself to the doctor and get immediate help. Will he go? Is he in denial? This is definitely not normal behaviour and I can only see it getting worse.

I am not a mental health specialist, but do know that paranoia and delusional thinking are serious symptoms and he needs professional help.

I am sure others will be in soon who have experienced symptoms like this and will be able to add more than can. x

Regards the Deep State in America your husband seems to be following the alternate news and possibly getting concerned with possible FEMA Death Camps etc.

Many Political Democrats are supposed to be arrested and taken down to GITMO. In other words He is watching at least FOX NEWS who are supposed to be the most middle of the road.of channels like CNN The next thing He will start to watch is GITMO Military Courts. I understand what with Trump the Democrats are heading down a slippery slope.

Also GOOGLE, FACEBOOK are trying to control the news narrative of alternative news and this is causing many in the States to be very unsettled. So in a way it is the news not your husband feeling paranoid as these companies are watching over contributions from their customers.

I live in the UK so American News is somewhat restricted to what I read daily. To consider this may help you understand a very concerned Husband

He is right about the echo dot they do listen to your conversations and if you have a smart tv that also listens to your conversations.

Information overload can cause anyone to become anxious or stressed but

sorry to say your husband seems to be dealing with something more serious. But even if it's full blown paranoia, there are are medications which can help. Until he gets the right medication, you will need to handle him gently.

Hope he will agree to see a doctor, even a visit to the ER when anxiety is high.

Many people who seem irrational or delusional actually realize something is wrong and they welcome help. It will improve with the right medication.

You will be in my prayers. Agape.
