Hi Everyone,
Firstly, thanks again for reading my post. Everyone is really supportive of each other on here and it is reassuring to know that you can come on here and just talk freely. Anyway, my husband's mixed personality disorder and emotional unstability seems to be getting worse by the day and I am finding it increasingly difficult to cope and to help him. I spoke to my GP the other day there when I was there for myself and basically she told me to urge him to come for another appointment, but the thing is he won't leave the house because of his social anxieties and I can't get him to go anywhere unless it is for something really desperate like getting wood for his creative projects or doing a weekly shop and this is only around tea-time where there is no hope of him seeing a car parked awkwardly in the street (one thing that really upsets him). So there is absolutely no hope of getting him to the medical centre and I did say this to the GP which she understood, but realises that not much can be done otherwise. Anyway, on a daily basis he is argumentative and verbally abusive to me which I do put up with, but occasionally do snap and tell him to stop. The other night there he tried to start an argument saying I never support him because I didn't answer an email quick enough that he sent me and then he started bringing things up from the past which he does all the time. He then went into the bedroom and got my tablets from the cupboard and was going to take them. After much talking him around he finally relented and gave me back my tablets which I have since hidden. He keeps telling me that he is miserable and fed up with life and just wants to leave in a box. Then the next minute something can make him change his attitude and he is fine and happy again for a wee while. I am really worried about him and don't want to even go out and leave him for fear of him doing something bad. I have the phone number for the local Crisis Team, but unsure if I would be wasting their time as the GP did tell me that I should only phone them in the event of him doing something to harm himself. I have went to call them a couple of times and stopped because his mood has lifted and he really is resistant to doctors helping him. I feel out of my depth here and unsure what to do. His mood swings are getting worse and he doesn't take his tablets now. His cruel comments and name calling are getting worse too and I find that really hard to take. I suggest to him that we do things together like go for a walk or take up a hobby, but he just criticises me when I mention anything to him and tells me I have ruined his life and this is all my fault. The least thing just sends him into massive meltdown! I know everyone on here has their own troubles, but any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks to all. x
