Please remove if I’m in the wrong place: I think my husband is dealing with psychosis. I want to get him help. Not sure how to approach this with him.
I don’t know what kind of trigger warning to potentially put here so: proceed with caution? Alcoholism? And I apologize for my ignorance in this topic.
My husband has two memories of watching videos of either Asmongold or Tim Pool where they covered news of two violent 💀 incidents as a part of current events.
He is an active alcoholic.
i have always chalked his memory pov being so “people are out to get me” to the alcohol, but figured the events were at least real and he was altered at the time. Think: worse case interpretations of interactions. Sometimes, not all the time.
But in the last year- while heavily intoxicated -he remembers watching videos about two topics covered by A or TP but he can’t find them again and he genuinely believes they were taken off of YouTube, his Watch History, and his internet browsing history. Like they’ve been scrubbed.
i’ve looked up the incidents of the videos he describes: they don’t exist anywhere. If they did they would be huge stories because of the potential for political sensation.
He won’t listen to me when I tried to point that out, and said I was worried for him and thought he should consider they might not exist.
Is this psychosis? Has anyone had similar experiences? Was there anything in particular that helped you get help?
Thanks for your help and time. Sorry again if I’m in the wrong place. This seems like a very supportive community and I genuinely hope you all find what you’re looking for and can live feeling safe.
