The Meany BP Wife's Update

Went to my second therapy session today.  She kept repeating that my husband's nastiness towards me has nothing to do with me personally.  Why do I find that hard to believe?  She kept repeating that I have to keep repeating to myself that he's not ok and that once we get the meds all taken care of he will be a different person and if he's not I should dump him.  Ha ha ha.  

That is my biggest fear.  What if he is still not ok on different meds?  What if he really doesn't "come back" to his old self?   

Monday seems even further away than ever.  That's when we go see the doctor.  Meanwhile, I fake being ok at work.  I fake pretending his words don't sting.  I just fake.

She did recommend a good psychiatrist for him and then I call and he's not taking new patients!  Ugh.  I begged and said I was in crisis.  He's suppose to call me back. 

Goodnight.   

Hey whyus;

That can be a hard thing to believe. Even though you know that it is his condition you have to wonder how much of it they really feel, even knowing it is their condition, that still doesn't take the sting out of it. As you have probably read, finding the right meds are crucial, but the even bigger part is him following the docs advice & doing his part. After the last meds increase a couple of weeks ago, my wife seems to be doing much better, although she has slipped back a little the past few days. Maybe monday can be a turning point for you guys. hope you have a good weekend.
