Welcome, I'm sorry that you are going through this situation. I won't be much help right now with your husband, because my eyes saw a huge red flag where you are concerned!!! Please, Please, Please, don't let yourself run out of Paxil!!! One of the most frightening things in my 58 years with bipolar, was doing just that! It was a long weekend, 3 days, and I had forgotten to order my Rx. First day, nothing new, second day I was shaking a bit......third day I woke up crying uncontrollably, shaking so badly I couldn't hold a cup, couldn't put together words to make a sentence and had to go to the ER to be sedated....Never ever lapse with Paxil....After that experience, I requested to be taken off of it and that took a month to wean down and off. There are so many other drugs now that don't have this side effect, I would ask to be switched if I were you. Gloria glory |

MISS I BEEN THERE, ACCUSED, THINGS BEING TWISTED, ALSO WOULD SEE A CAR THAT LOOKED LIKE MINE AND ACCUSED ME CHEATING. WOULD CALL ME AT WORK AND WANTED TO KNOW WERE I WAS GOING. NOW IF IM AT WORK, HOW CAN I BE DRIVING AROUND. BUT YOU GOT TO BE CAREFUL OF THE SETUPS. THEY WILL TAKE YOU DOWN THE ROAD, MANIPULATE YOU HEAD, YOU BECOME THE PUPPET, THEY PULL THE STRING AND HAVE YOU DOING THINGS, THAT YOU WOULDNT DO. AT THIS TIME YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OF WHAT IS BEING DONE.THAT WAS THE SETUP. NOW THEY HAVE EVERY RIGHT IN THEIR HEADS TO ACCUSE. I MUST SAY THIS THAT NOT ALL BP'S ARE LIKE THIS. MY EX WAS

Ladies...I am reading this and trying to make sense of it... Here is my in put...if you are with someone who is acting irrationally they need to get professional help immediately. Please understand instead of trying to explain things that don't make sense try to figure out why you are trying to make sense of something irrational. It is simply that irrational behavior...you can't reason with it because it in itself is not reasonable. Need for professional help is called for pure and simple. If your car quit running would you just stand there scratching your head and try to figure it out, or would you get a mechanic???? Call the doctor and explain that your husband is delusional, is having irrational thoughts and cannot understand normal language. He could have hearing problems, stroke, or manic psychosis...or something else....he sounds like he needs help. "In the time of your life, live-so that in that wondrous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but, shall smile to the infinite variety and mystery of it." William Saroyan

Norma is right. You can't make sense out of nonsense. My g/f went thru a period of psychosis. Where there was no talking to her because SHE wasn't there. She was completely irrational, made no sense and became very violent. She actually had her hands around my throat at one point. It was scary. Didn't see that coming!! I was DESPERATE. When she was like that what I did is kept calling psychatrists until I found one that could see her immediately. She was willing to go because, thankfully, she would have brief moments of clarity where she realized what was happening. She went and they made her leave the house (they wanted her to go to the hospital but she refused) she stayed at a motel for a week while they eased her off the wrong medications and got her on the right ones. My g/f says off the wall stuff sometimes too when she's manic and irrational. I've been accused of just about everything. It never makes sense. My advice is try to talk him into a psychatrists office or get him to check into the hospital. If he won't, you might have to leave until he is willing to. My g/f has a huge fear of abandonment. I know that other people on this site have the opposite problem and their s/o's take off on a whim. But when I leave or pack the bag that will terrify her. Whatever works to get him the help he needs would be good. But he is an adult and you can't force him. This is a dangerous road. You have to keep yourself safe. It isn't enough to "know" him and assume he will not hurt you. Psychosis is not the same even as mania. They are capable of anything and not at all the person you are used to. Good luck.

Hello- I agree with everybody. My ex husband has acted in a similar way to me in the past. He refuses meds for his bipolar and has said completely bizarre mean and hurtful blurt outs that made no sense. Sometimes, in public, or when we were on vacation, that I felt I had no escape from the situation. It can be very emotionally upsetting to say the least, also frightening. I know there are confidentiality laws regarding his medical treatments, so even if his doctor won't speak to you, maybe you could call his office and just leave a message about his behaviors so that the doctor knows what to check for at his next appt. Also, I have been in situation where my ex hubby was so out of it yelling and cursing and making no sense and frightening that last year I had to call police on him two times. You have to think about your safety. Take care of yourself. |

MsM, I have to agree with the others, there is no chance of reasoning with the person who is like this, you have to take care of yourself, if he is not willing to get help there isn't much you can do, but take care of you. |

MsM, I really agree with everyone. Your safety is the most important thing. And whether it's verbal abuse or physical it hurts just as bad and that is no good. If you need to call the police they will make sure he gets the help he needs. It's their job and your b/f at that point won't have a choice. Just please please take care of yourself. Their is only one you. He is a big boy he will get help. Jeanne |

Hello all, Thank you so so much for your advice. My god but it feels great that there are others out there that understand my situation. Things have been insane over the weeken, and my spouse was taken away by a crisis team and the police. Right now he is at a hospital which is where he needsto be and so many of us know that. He's having a psychotic episode, and I just thank heavens that its finally being dealt with. The one thing that is going to be so hard, is trying to remember that its his illness and not him right now. The man that I love is kind, caring ans beautiful. What a change has occured. I am not certain as to what is going to happen from here, but I am finally at peace. In my home, without the madness for once. I love him, hope for the best. Thanks again. |
