[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take action now.  This started with my DH just before the pandemic and it’s still with him.

It’s so bad that he thinks that everyone (including random people who see him in a grocery store) are talking about an incident that happened in a mid west state that only our immediate family know about.

I can barely breath, my work performance has fallen apart and I constantly have a pit in my stomach.  I used to be content before this but the last 4 years of dealing with this have decimated me. Although you would never tell if you knew me in person.[/quote]

DP. The behavior you describe is serious mental illness (but I know you know that). It's how a relative of mine was acting and thinking when in the worst periods of unmedicated mental crisis. Your DH may at some point act on his paranoia someow and he or someone else could end up hurt or he could terrify some stranger in a store who then calls security, or the cops.

What have you done to try to get him help? He surely needs serious meds and whatever form of therapy is appropriate. He must be in a mental hell. If he is resistant to help and doesn't have lucid periods when he realizes something's wrong with him-- enlist a doctor and ask what to do. It is VERY difficult to force an adult who is mentally ill, but not actively trying to harm himself or someone else, into treatment, PP, as you may already know. I'm concerned by your post, based on our family's experiences. [/quote]

Thank you for your post. I really appreciate your insights.  He has started to see a therapist and I have noticed some minute positive changes.   I am somewhat hopeful. [/quote]
