I am new to this group and have many questions. My husband is currently diagnosed w. schizophrenia. but this does not seem to fit. So this morning I have been looking at other possible disorders that it might be. I believe he actually has paranoid personality disorder. He absolutely believes I am having an affair and can't let it go, everyday this is an issue for us. He thinks this person or persons is in the house. He also is afraid to confide in others for fear it will later be used agaisnt him. he is paranoid about people at work. But his main fear is that I live this other life that he doesn't know about. It makes it so hard to just live. I feel we are fighting about a non-exsisnt issue b/c I am not having an affair. I feel like we are wasting so much energy on something that is not real that it is killing the life we could have.has an appt on June 16th and I plan on going to tell them I think it's PPD instead if sz. I guess I am just curious if anyone here has any advice on how I should handle this situation. I often feel angry b/c I feel attacked. I am a good wife and mother, would never have an affair but yet I am treated as though I do. I know it's a mental illness but it just makes me so mad. Does anyone else live life like this and if so what has helped? Thanks for your time and thoughts, I truly feel alone and like no one else can understand.
