I feel like I am losing control of myself in the process.

Maybe a support group for family members would help you to understand what he is going through so you can get a better understanding of the process of recovery. It is difficult to watch someone you love suffer and there is nothing you can do to take the pain away. There is no fixing the disorder, only recovery and learning to live with it. It does get better if he is getting help.
