IT seems true that we hurt those we love most during difficult times. It sounds like you could both do with support and understanding/recognition. There is support on these boards and maybe also closer to you. Any friends/family/local mental health/doctors? I'm sorry

Even accidental hurt is is painful and being an adult isn't much use against the fear our minds create, rationally or otherwise. Realisation and working on ourselves has to be the way to heal, right?

Aside from the background story, my husband has behaved in all these ways and I too have feared for myself and our children at times when he disassociates or has episodes of depersonalisation. I would say, get clued up Asap on how to protect yourself and the right way to handle stuff like this...

Definitely worse, and worser still. The most sickening roller coaster when his anxiety kicks in but he keeps fears to himself, pretends it's all ok when his behaviour clearly isn't and those beautiful carefree days I long for have all but vanished lately; he doesn't want to be a burden, can't do...

Fantastic insights people, thanks

My husband has some similar issues and because he only has 2 brothers left in his own family who don't even want to know about his illness and so we have had no visits or contact with them for over a year now I feel the need sometimes to be with my birth family which is very large and can be...

Learning to understand emotions and realise that thoughts and feelings won't really kill you is something I learned through my own therapy for my major depression and previous MH problems. My husband has recently been having very similar rages and then collapsing into himself and seems to think...

I used to drink and I can't count the amount of times my mum tried to warn me of the dangers but I ignored her, regardless of my own MH issues until I was ready. I stopped initially for my daughters sake but I had to do it for myself, I've been free for almost 2 years now but I find the majority...

I settled on 30mg after a few weeks and been daily for almost a year with no side effects

You are suffering from an ILLNESS, your husband is making fun of you which is making your illness worse. Time apart from each other while you work out a way to communicate effectively is a good step and to learn how the future of your relationship at this point will be steered by life changes...

The memories of all the trauma you have both suffered may break you or make you stronger. The future is untold but seeking help for both of you, separately and together as a couple could really help. Research and work on these emotional problems but try not to become bogged down in it. I try...

thanks for the welcome, I have plenty to ask, plenty to say and plenty of knowledge too so I'm already on my way to better days just by finding this forum in the first place! Namenotdiagnosis - I was feeling down that day but I am looking after myself as a priority, it's nice to know there are...

Finally thought to introduce myself, I have been a member for a while, hoping my hubby would find some help/comfort within these pages yet things have started to get worse again lately and my friends and family just cant comprehend this illness. Thanks for being here

My husband takes sleeping pills, I try to relax by reading until sleep takes over (nothing exciting, which has the opposite effect) or playing soothing music quietly and try to visualise happy things.
