I'll get right to it, no BS: my husband is hearing and seeing things. But only, specifically me talking to someone when he's not in the room, or doing "things" to\with myself whenever he leaves the room, he accuses me of all kinds of "cheating" related things!
And for the record: No, I'm not cheating. He suffers from severe depression and PTSD, attachment issues, and is not currently in any type of therapy although has been in the past. I also have BPD, a little OCD and ADHD.. But here it is Christmas! How can I deal with it? |

Hello Ashjme: I see this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to Psych Central.
 You ended your post by asking how you can deal with your husband hearing & seeing things. I guess I'm not sure what you mean my "deal with". I'm not a mental health professional. And we here on PC cannot offer mental health diagnoses. However, based on what you wrote, it sounds as though your husband may be struggling with delusions. And that being the case, he needs to be evaluated by mental health professionals... perhaps a psychologist or psychiatrist. So what you can, perhaps, do is to encourage him to get the mental health services he needs & assist him to whatever extent is appropriate.  The other way to interpret "deal with" is of course how you as a caregiver take care of yourself, which is one of the primary things caregivers have to do because if you as a caregiver aren't functioning well you can't be of much help to your ill husband. (You probably didn't need me to tell you that.)  Anyway, here are links to a selection of 14 articles, from Psych Central's archives, that touch upon both ways of interpreting your post: Coping with the Holidays Survival Guide | Psych Central Self-Care for Depression Caregivers 3 Self-Care Tips While Loving Someone With Depression Caring for Yourself When You're a Caregiver Psychotic Depression https://blogs.psychcentral.com/careg...dium=popular17 https://blogs.psychcentral.com/careg...dium=popular17 https://blogs.psychcentral.com/careg...has-delusions/ https://blogs.psychcentral.com/careg...dium=popular17 https://blogs.psychcentral.com/careg...dium=popular17 https://blogs.psychcentral.com/careg...dium=popular17 https://blogs.psychcentral.com/careg...dium=popular17 https://psychcentral.com/blog/how-to...dium=popular17 https://psychcentral.com/blog/11-way...-denial/?all=1 I hope you find PC to be of benefit.

It sounds like it is time for professional help again.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
