I'm so so worried. I have BPD+anxiety disorder and generally manage my mental health pretty well these days. I've had a lot of therapy and tried numerous medications. I've been with my husband 4 years, married for 2. He's always seemed awkward and difficult to a certain level and since the beginning, I've known of his aspergers. He has suddenly deteriorated. He's having constant delusions and hallucinations, thoughts and attempts of suicide. He's now been detained at a psych ward in hospital for almost a week as a 'long term' patient. He hasn't been officially diagnosed yet but they seem certain that he has not only aspergers but also schizophrenia. I'm devastated and feel awful for him, I feel uncertain of our future together and quite frankly, I'm terrified about it all. Upon release from the ward, he'll be coming back home to me. I want to care for him but I'm equally frightened. Is his condition manageable? Can a high functioning borderline cope with an autistic schizophrenic husband? I'm freaking out!
