What happens after a manic episode

What happens after a manic episode

I hope this makes sense…

my partner has been diagnosed with psychosis and has spent time in hospital and was in a community plan for support. However he is still experiencing acute psychotic episode and has drove to another state and is stating to me a lot of things that are not true. He has taken everything I have done to support and help and has turned it to me being against him and to ‘destroy’ his life or play games being manipulative. These are things such as doing more around the house, with children etc. so he can simply go to work and come home to reduce stress on him.

My question is, when he comes out of his psychotic episode (he is taking medication still to my knowledge) will be still believe this is all true? Or will he recognise what I have done to support and come back to me and the kids.

im at a loss and I don’t know whether to give the relationship up or to hold on to when he comes out… it’s breaking me as I know it’s not him but I love him and want to be with him.

Hi @MysticRose

I replied under "Partner with psychosis" forum.

Forums sounded similar and the other reply is my input.

Re: What happens after a manic episode

Am very new to SANE. Have a 41 year old son who is bipolar.

My challenge is to live my own life as best I can and not expect any improvements. Learning detachment ( letting go of my expectations of a positive change ) is very difficult for myself. For me I also talk to friends for venting and guidance - sharing the problems.

I know if I dont then my own health will suffer.

Does that make sense ?
