I need feedback with my husband.......

I need feedback with my husband.......

My husband is going through a difficult time now that he has quit the very last bad addiction.It's been a long time for him but he gave up smoking about three months ago.

So, in three years, he quit hard drugs, drinking alcohol and smoking ciggarettes. I am so proud of him but his Schizophrenia is taking a battering which means I feel very isolated and exhausted.

Last week, my Mum gave us a cold chicken and he was convinced that the cold chicken gave him an illness.

He has'nt walked for properly for over two months or three months although there is nothing wrong with his legs and he just sits on the loungeroom ordering me around.

I am very tired of people giving me 'Suggestions,'

......like......

just stop gettng him water.

make him get everything for himself

My response to Mr g is ...I'm working with his delusions and in contact with his hospital.

It's hard and hard.

He is wanting to spend time with his best friend who refuses to use medication for clinical depression. His best friend thinks medication makes him fat.

Since he has decided to quit all the self medication, he has had a difficult time. When Mr g was told what will happen if he smoked etc,etc, it will be very naughty, his best friend gave him lots of self medication.

Therefore I feel isolated. Once a week, the pastor comes to our home to spend time with Mr g which is wonderful. I go to the pastors wife and we read the bible and she gives me a lot of space.

Could anyone write how they would deal with his ordering around?

@Shaz51 I miss @PeppiPatty

I am sorry if I was too strong about BB and put you @PeppiPatty off from posting here on the forum. You do deserve support in managing like with him with all his problems. You were a ray sunsine for me a lot of the time when I first joined.

Take care of YOU Bella, as well as him.
