New to this forum buisness, but need to know if I doing right by caring for my wife who has severe anxiety or professional help?
Hi all, my name is jon, my wife's name is michelle, I will give you a brief rundown on what has been happening to my wife for past 4 months.
Although to a lot of people out there, 4 months is not long time for sufferer's with anxiety or any other similar condition, but to my wife who is on the verge of having a major breakdown, seems like her world has ended.
So it started with head pains, and after a few months final got to see a neurologist who diagnosed her with daily cronic migraines, which led her on to tablets called amertripterlean? Anybody knows of these tablets, know they have some serious side affects. This unfortunately was the start of her downward spiral, her thoughts have been getting incredibly strong, and with a visit to the doctors, he gave her lerazipan to calm her (forgive me with spelling tablet names if wrong). Michelle in the past, approx 12 years ago had bad experience on an anti depressant and refuses to take them again.
I was signed off work for about 2 months to look after michelle because of the strenght of tablets, but recently tried to return, but I think in last couple of weeks, ive managed to stay at work for about 3 days of them due to michelles state.
what I have done is comfort her been there for her, and given her all the support she needs. But the fact of the matter is I'm getting to the point where I have run out of things to do to comfort and reassure her.
This is the crucial part, we have 2 children 15 and 9 who she loves dearly and with all her heart, but her dark thoughts are aimed at our youngest. Now im sure yove all heard of the "what ifs; well that is how she us with our son. It has become so bad for her that she feels like she has already done something bad in her head, and has a tremendous amount of guilt in her stomach, to the point where she is physically sick.
Now it breaks her heart to have these feelings and I've tried reassuring her that its proberly because of her love for him and that its just a protection thing, but its not helping, and im sure its getting worse daily. She is desperate to see a councillor for help but is so scared they will take the kids away, I have told her they wont, but deep down I dont know, and it is really scaring me too.
Can anybody advise me, but also will a councillor understand if she was to be open and true full
