New and scared

New and scared

My husband has been in mental decline for most of this year and it has increased this past couple of weeks. At the mere mention of a GP he becomes erratic and is paranoid so believes I am, in his words, dangerous. I asked him to leave home but then realised that that sent him into even further erratic behaviour. He was raised catholic but in our 20+ yrs together hasn’t been in any way religious and is now telling me he has had a religious awakening 4 years ago and that God is talking to him and showing him the future. He said he has no time to discuss our relationship because he is busy doing important things for God under the guise of his business which isn’t off the ground yet nor has investment. I have asked him to return home tomorrow in the hope of just keeping him safe and calm but beyond that I don’t know what to do and I’m terrified of what the future holds. Any advice is appreciated

I have a great GP who also specialises in mental health issues but the earliest appt I could get was 4th Aug.

im not sure what calling the hospital will do but I will give it a go

Re: New and scared

It would be good to ask the hospital for your area's psychiatric triage number. The are the best people to call because they organise someone to come see him if needed @Maud .

It would be good to book in that GP appt on Aug 4th too.
