Do you generally believe that you wife (who obv knows you have mental health issues) would go out of her way to flirt with people around you - as in deliberately make you paranoid etc? It is very very very unlikely that anyone would do that. Most people who have affairs make sure they do it in secret and wouldnt actively flirt in from of their partner. What does she say when you confront her? It must be difficult for her to always be accused and could be causing strain on your relationship.

Hi, Thanks for your reply.
I wonder if the paranoia can manifest itself in different ways?
She gets upset when I confront her and says she would never cheat on me and loves me.
I get so "paranoid" though and don't speak to her for days and even feel scared and repulsed by her as I feel she's going to hurt me. I've tried CBT when im at my worst but it doesn't help, the thought and feeling is so persistent and strong. I'm anorexic also and most of the time I'm eating very little which I think also doesn't help. I know delusions of jealousy are one of the symptoms of psychosis but I have some sort of insight that I might be Ill so I'm not sure. The other thing that concerns me is that one of my siblings has schizophrenia and has extreme delusions with absolutely no insight and I feel like I could become like that.
