Its all falling Apart. Please Help!

Its all falling Apart. Please Help!

Hi guys.

So I havnt posted in a few weeks and in the mean time, things have gone to hell.

Just some back story, my missus has severe PTSD from things that happened to her growing up. She has problems deling with or controling her emotions and anger.

My Wifes family got her to go visit them in QLD and she has returned a different person. For years they have tried to convince her that im some how out to do her harm and it seems they have managed to do it. Shes SUDDENLY gone all cold and is demanding I leave. If I didnt know her so well, id suspect shes cheating, but something is going on here thats made her just snap over night.

Ive been trying for over a week to sort it out, she says theres nothing wrong with out relationship, but she doesnt want to do it any more and doesnt know why. She wont talk to her counciler and cant give me an explinatrion for her sudden change of heart.

Now really if this is what she wants, then I guess theres nothing I can do, but out livers are so intertwined, I dont know how to handle it. Ive sup[ported her for 8 years, we have properties together ect. If this isnt serious, I cant be rearranging our lives because shes having a bad few weeks. We have a large amount of assets and debit thats all in my goddam name and a house free and clear thats in her name...

Ive already changed bedrroms, I probably shouldnt have as this seems to have finalised it.

And of course, im now concerned about my mental health, it was already starting to show signs of wear and tear. I had become more angry and defensive, but now Im a mess. I constantly want to cry and every thing she says has an air of nastieness in it that just breaks my heart and im completely freaking out about the financial ramifications and what happens to our dogs.

I really dont know what to do here or if i should do anything at all.

Some advice would be really good right now. Im not doing to well...

Thanks

NSCC.

@NotSoCrayCray, it's been heart breaking reading your posts but I've been so heartened by the wonderful replies from other contributors.

I know it doesn't change your situation one iota but clearly there are other people who care, and understand. There is nothing more isolating than living with someone with mental illness, so for others to reach out is everything and I really hope it has given you some comfort in your nightmare.

Thanks guys, i appreciate your support.

Every day is different, every 5 mins my feelings change. If shed just come home Id give her a big hug and tell her its ok, we can get some help. At the same time I dont want her to come home because im scared of how she will be. Waiting around for things I have no control over to hapopen is the hardest part, I just want to get this all over and done with. 2 - 3 more weeks till I can move hopefully, then I can concentrate on me again.

- so sorry to read all this.... I hope things are starting to work out for you. I feel for you as I feel I am going through the same thing with my partner. I have put posts on here before as well. The people on here really do care and share a lot of the same experiences as you are having. Having a mental illness is hard on EVERYONE. When I met my partner of nearly 5 years now, I did not know he was suffering from depression. He hid it from me very well. He worked away so I only got to see him every two weeks. I guess he was able to be in good spirits for the week he was home. He was also taking meds during this time. He stopped taking the meds, stopped going to the doctors etc....his mental health deteriorated.....I tried and tried to help him but to no avail. We are still going through it. It is extremely hard. I don't know what to do either. There has been man times that I have just wanted to walk out but could not as I do love him. I am starting to feel the mental strain from al this as well. It is really bringing me down. When he is not suffering from the depression he is great! But when he is he does not talk, tells me wants to leave me, to get out of his face etc...horrible things. I went away overseas for a month as my father had passed away and when I got back he was the loving caring person I first met. The time away did us both good for the first 2 months then he fell backwards again....not on meds not happy with his job, not in a good financial situation etc.... He is verbally abusive to me not physically... don't know what is worse... anyway, I hope things are getting better for you. Hang in there.... chatting on here is good and helps to release a bit, just knowing you are not the only one going through this. Keep us posted.... all the very best.

IM BACK!

Its been a tough few months, but im finally getting my shit back together. Myt partner has still lost the plot. Ive basically given up on her now and am concentrating on myself. Im back in my house and in the process of getting everything setup again.

I feel a lot better now that im in my own place. I feel more safe I guess. Living out of a car and caravan in the old garage was starting to get to me a bit. Especially in the hot weather. You never realize how much you take some shit for granted until its taken away. Just being able to shower and shit when I want again is bloody amazing.

My internet is spotty at best up here, but ill try become an active member of these forums. It helped me a bit so I feel I should return the favor.

Thanks for your help and advice everyone.
