I deal with it by telling myself it's not my problem and he's going to do what he's going to do. I can worry, stress and make myself a wreck or I can simply say it is what it is. When my husband displays behavior that is not acceptable to me I disengage and go to another room.
I sat and had a very open and honest discussion about why he has stopped seeking help and why he won't do anything to help himself. We discussed all our options. I asked him if he wanted help from me with dealing with the appointments and meds he said no. So I told him that I love him but for my own well being I was washing my hands of the situation. It hurts to see him in pain he doesn't need to be in but I can't make him get help. So now I focus on me and my health. When he has an episode I make sure he's safe then I disengage and ignore. It's the only thing that has worked for me. Good luck to you.
