My spouse was diagnosed heavy mania with psychotic features. Stopped taking meds, drug induced, addicted. Everyone knows the story, so I'll spare the details.

I've been through this, over the course of our 15 years together. However, no previous episode can come close to the damage done to our family and me, from this one.

She has a new pattern, symptom, or behavior that is really throwing me this time. I've read everything I can but cant find anything like it.

Mind you, schizophrenia runs in her family. She is taking experiences and past traumas, and other people's events, and overlapping or folding them into ours.

Example: her pervious marriage, her ex was very abusive in the marriage and through the divorce. I have never so much as had a thought of abusing her in any way. Without giving details, everything that he has done to her is now I have done to her. A couple that we are close friends with have marital problems and their problems become our problems. It goes on and on.

Is this a typical symptom of either illnesses? What's it called?

Her accusations have seriously destroyed my life, even though none have any validity and have been disproved.

I hope someone can help

Hi HiddenByHIPPA. I am sorry for the loss of your relationship the way it used to be. That must be a heavy burden to carry.

The shock of psychotic behavior can be traumatizing. There is just no talking sense to them. If they are willing and you are able, treatment by professionals in mental health can improve situations in the present. It does not make the pain go away from past trauma, but it can be a new beginning.

Self care is most important when someone confronts a terrible situation that is shocking. I had to take up yoga and exercises to keep some kind of baseline for my own health. For you it might be different, but having a refuge, even going to work, can really make a difference.
