My suggestion is to look into available therapy for yourself. If you're unwell helping your wife will be nearly impossible. I'm not sure where you live, but there are options for little to no cost therapy, but it will take effort to locate it. My suggestion would be to do a search on the internet. If you live in the US you may want to look at this website http://www.nami.org/

Hope that helps.
