I'm so sorry sweetheart. I would be in your boat had my husband not witnessed my psychosis. Now he is the one that gets angry when I try to convince him that I am not actually bipolar and hounds me about my meds. That said, he is extremely unsupportive when I am unable to take care of the house (which happened for like 2 straight years until just the last couple of weeks). He sticks the knife in deep and twists it. It has caused MUCH heartache. Sometimes he even belittles me about it in front of my kids. My 7 year old daughter brought me a note about a month ago that said basically 'dear mommy, you are not lazy and do not lay on the couch all day. I love you.' Heartbreaking. I left her note on the counter hoping he would see it. He never mentioned it. We do honestly have an otherwise healthy relationship. I too sometimes tend to become VERY hyper-religious while in episodes. My bizarre faith based delusions are what caused me, with my husband's strong encouragement, to go back to a pdoc. Do you think you could get your husband to go to a pdoc or tdoc appt? That might really help. Or, I know that NAMI (https://www.nami.org/Find-Support/Fa...and-Caregivers) has a lot of supportive info for family members. Maybe you could get him to attend a support group or at least read some literature? I really wish you all the best. Please feel free to msg me any time.
