I am new to the group and looking for advice. My SO keeps having thoughts that I am cheating, lying, hiding something, etc. My SO has given up hope that things can become easier and that he can have a relationship with me. That he can get help, that I won’t ever leave him. We have loved each other for a long time, but it doesn’t seem to be enough anymore for him. I keep supporting him the best way I know how, but the comments regarding us not being what he wants on the “bad days” are starting to crush me. He wants to leave but I don’t want him to give up on everything we have talked about. I keep letting him know he isn’t alone, I’ll do whatever I can for him. I don’t know what to do to continue supporting him or if I am only making things worse.
It sounds as if you are really struggling with this. Maybe you can discuss with them that this is a very difficult disease for everyone involved. No one has an easy time of it from the patient to the loved ones of the patient.
Welcome to the group. I find a lot of help in this forum to share our frustrations, medication options for our loved ones, and the feeling of love and support here. You are not alone.
His negative symptoms are getting worse by the night, and when he has the recovery days as he calls them, they really take a toll on him, being very confused and all over the place, losing the time causes great conflict within him. Everything I do feels at times completely wrong. Finding money for insurance or to pay for proper care is a challenge at the moment and it needed to happen months ago. And the process to get a support team and for the meds to have an effect can be very daunting and hopeless in his opinion. I’m not sure what to do.
Is he willing to see a doctor or go to the hospital? Welcome and sorry you are here but you will find a great group with a lot of info and support here.
