Not the person I know
I really need some advice, please!
I am finding it quite difficult to cope since my partner of 12 years has come out of hospital from 2 X surgeries that was to fix another surgery that went wrong a year ago. I think the repair surgery has triggered something in him. In the weeks leading up to the surgery he was very stressed about the surgery and said that he thought he was going to die. When he came out of the surgery his remark was , well what do I do now then? He’s 4-5 weeks post surgery and still having dressings at the hospital. He’s been told that he cannot return to work again where there’s heavy lifting required. He’s displaying odd isolating behaviours, aggression and he’s self medicating with alcohol again. There is also an increase to risky behaviours as he was 2 weeks post surgery and was riding the motorbike around.
He’s targeting me saying pretty degrading and odd things too.
He’s very self aware and will not consult GP or Mental health professional as he turn the consult around and will provide them with mental health services. Today he put up an unusual post on social media about a car being parked illegally, which had little to no impact on him at the time, and it’s received a number of trolling responses. He’s exhibiting a heightened sense or for want of a better explanation an over exaggerated sense of self. He’s mentioned each of the neighbours are up set with him, for what ever reason and said that he might as well have them all hating him.
Other odd things he’s doing is joking about macabre things happening. He’s posting odd reports of a man who went on a 2 hour stabbing rampage in America.
He’s told me that he thought I was going to hurt myself, which on top of a whole bunch of other emotional abuse he’s hurled at me in the past few weeks I think he’s projecting what he’s feeling onto me.
I really don’t know what to do, I’m worried about him but I’m also worried for myself.
Your advice would be greatly appreciated
