Husband manic... I can't concentrate but it's for the greater good:

Husband manic... I can't concentrate but it's for the greater good:

Hi all,

My name is @PeppyPatti,

I've been a communicator of Sane Forums for a little while now but I find it easier to talk about ...stuff then what's really happening in my life.

I am a fulltime carer for my husband who was diagnosed with Chronic Paranoid Schizophrenia when he was 21....we are both 48 now.

He has spent a few days in hospital from severe addiction to cigarettes, he quit illegal substances and alcohol addiction for our marriage to work about 2 years ago but the last week, he's so manic....I can't even go to the tiolet without him crying....Where are you? what are you doing?

He quit smoking about a week ago. I am so tired .......It feels like I'm doing all the work while he constantly talks and expects all these hairbrained things to happen........

Help !!
