Hi - sorry for the unhelpful postings by one of our community members. Sometimes people post that things that are not at all helpful (sometimes by people who have schizophrenia). Ignore those posts that are not helpful.
What country are you in?
Your husband definitely needs help as quickly as possible. It sounds like classic paranoid schizophrenia. There are medications and therapy (psychological therapy) that can really help him. But you need to get him help as quickly as possible. See a Psychiatrist and also a psychologist.
Get him checked in ASAP. The next step is that he is going to start thinking you are part of the Russian Mafia or whatever his delusion is. I say that from experience.
Mobile Mental Health Crisis teams exist in many cities and communities. Ours is run through the Department of Health and Welfare of our state in the US.
Most hospitals have social workers; you could call the nearest hospital, ask to speak to a social worker, and describe the situation. They will have ideas and know local resources.
GP could see him and refer, also start testing to rule out organic causes of psychosis.
If you can get him to an Emergency Room, often times they can connect to treatment.
Is there a NAMI (National Alliance for Mental Illness) chapter near you? They might know which direction to point you.
If you cannot get him in to treatment, itās not your fault or his. If he becomes so ill he loses control of his behavior, take the best possible care of yourself and your children.
You and he must both be very frightened at this point. I hope everything gets better.
Yes, call 911 if you have to. True, soon your husband will have trouble trusting you. I also speak from experience. The sooner you get professional help - the better for everyone.
**Welcome to the forum~
I know this is a scary situation-for all of you.
I dont have an answer for the suddeness of this-but I would give the same advice per above. Call ahead and tell them what has been going on. Let them take it from there. They should run tests ( in case there is something physical going on ) and keep him a few days to watch him. Dont be afraid.
Sometimes taking some action relieves some of that fear.
Thinking of you and your family-you`re not alone! **
Well said Pixel!! You gave me some positive insight in regards to my sonā¦ who is doing well on his meds and as a matter of fact just began a job as a helper in his field of heating and air conditioningā¦visited you web page as well after you wroteā¦ very NICE!
Meth makes people like this my sister started off this way maybe you should blood test him for it and If not itās not then a therapist, not eating fine one minute not the next then not eating thinking everyone is out to get themā¦
I understand where your coming from as my partner has recently been the same. Says he canāt go out anywhere as people are following him and trying to kill him. I donāt know which way to turn myself as he claims there is nothing wrong with him at all and doesnāt need to see the doctors. He claims his movements are being tracked all the time and I donāt see anything and he thinks Iām stupid for not seeing this. Donāt no which way to turn!
Im going through the same thing. My boyfriend of 12 years, thinks heās being gang-stalked: Organized Stalking Run by US Government Says Ex-FBI Agent, Ted Gunderson ā Gang Stalking, Mind Control, and Cults , he says heās being followed everywhere he goes. And he wonāt stop repeating it. Itās all day with this conspiracy. Iāve had to deal with his drug addictions for years now, and I think itās taken a toll on his brain. I tried getting him off drugs, or to get treatment, but he never did. I stayed with him, because I loved him, and I was also at risk of becoming homeless. Thank God I found this forum. I want to get him admitted to a psych ward, but he doesnāt think anything is wrong with him. He even thinks Iām in on it too, that Iām working with the FBI to get him murdered. It has me furious really. I was trying to be supportive, but he doesnāt want to get help, so Iām leaving him. I canāt do this anymore. It hurts to see someone you love get this sick, and I know I should support him, but saying that Iām trying to kill him is too much for me, heās acusing me of attempted murder. Says I drugged him with scopolamine. Heās going to end up back with his mom, and hopefully his mom gets him treatment. Heās also been very abusive to me, so I canāt take it anymore. If he does start again, I will call the cops to get him admitted.
