Thankyou all for the kind words!! We have struggled because of his behaviour, mostly financial because of job losses, his spending impulses etc.. I have had GAD since being a teenager so am no stranger to mental health issues and have seen a therapist lots over the past few years.
We are in Canada and health care is free, not too bad of a wait to get seen by a doctor so I have to call today to get him booked in. The only problem is, his manager called him back and asked if he wanted a second chance and told him to come back Monday morning so that leaves tomorrow and Friday to see a doctor to get the ball rolling.
I asked him if he feels ok to go back and he says he doesn't know but he knows that we cannot afford not to.
I have brought up in the past that it would do him good to talk to a doctor for his angry outbursts and breakdowns but he has never accepted it. Today was definitely a breakthrough for him, he has cried all day. I just hope he doesn't go back on it his word.
Another thing that worries me is that he talks to himself. All the time. When he's sitting and not busy, I can see him mouthing words, sometimes it starts to escalate and he talks out loud. I have walked in on him swearing and arguing to himself.
When I'v asked about it, he said his mind is always ruminating, always thinking and it comes out. He once said, he gives himself advice.
I'm not sure if that a symptom of anything, but I'm sure it's worth mentioning to his doctor.
I have pondered the possibility of bipolar, but obviously him refusing to see a doctor, I couldn't do much about it.
I really just hope he will work with me and get the help he needs.
Thanks for listening
