Living with a declining wife
Wife (F29) and I (M29) have had our share of hardships, have been together 7 years now, married for 2.5. Her psychosis after our wedding was shocking to us. She was admitted to inpatient with SI and was compliant with care and meds. Eventually went off meds only after maybe less than a year. Went through several educated jobs but quit each one saying people were saying things about her at each one. Now she can’t work at all. We got pregnant earlier this year in the middle of some downs through this past winter. But things got bad in her depression, stress, not eating. We decided to terminate the pregnancy because she wasn’t eating or sleeping. That was traumatic for both of us but her moreso. Then the hallucinations and psychosis came and she was admitted again but this time she’s a different person. Hardly talked throughout the hospital stay and was uncomfortable and scared, noncompliant with meds. Never signed a release of info so we were left in the dark about most of her care. How can they keep information from her husband when she’s confused/302? Doesn’t make a lick of sense. She’s been home a few weeks now and will not go see a psychiatrist/therapist and believes her prescription is fake and won’t take anything. It’s been extremely difficult and frustrating for both of us. Her delusions include both our families conspiring to make her feel crazy. The voices in her head become unbearable sometimes and she gets very upset. What can I do? Shes told her family and I several times she hates us but still loves us. I don’t want to let go of this, in sickness and in health is what I swore no matter how much she doesn’t believe me. I just want her to be okay. I need support so that I can continue to support her
