my boyfriend had a breakdown last night..he started talking to parking lines, waving jumpropes and making weird noises, saying Sadaam Hussein is in the us. saying he is going to war, saluting the flag over and over, it was so scary to see him this way. I called his sister- we've only been going out 10 months so I feel more comfortable having his sister handle it- he has acted this way before and went into the hospital. His friends are mad at ME he must have said bad things about me. Anyone experience feelings of terror seeing your loved one this way?

My hubby went strange when things just were too much to handle. He didn't do very strange things, but he jumped up and down, screamed, got very upset... threw down a chair really hard to the floor... was shaking his head.... saying; no no no.... Then he began to cry really hard, with his head pressed against his pillow. I'd never seen him like that before... so I got a bit scared... felt really helpless... because he went all silent... so what could I do???
It's so hard to see the one you love hurting this much, or in your case doing odd things.... Try to stay as calm as you can... let your action show his sister, how much you care about her brother. She's going to see it! Then you can both help him. One more thing... You need to look after yourself too... This might sound cold and I really don't mean it that way! But maybe you should do some thinking about how the future would be, you two together..... Are you strong enough to deal with this.... do you love him so much that you can live with his issues? As I wrote... I'm not saying this to hurt you! Just want you to see YOU too in this. If you ever need to vent... PM me! (((((((((((( Junerain )))))))))))))))

I am sorry that this was so terrifying for you. I do agree with Nina that you need to keep yourself safe as well.
My thoughts are with you.

First of all I want to say how strong and special you are to stay with him. Not everyone would be as nearly supportive as you are.
Keep on taking deep breaths hun....and use as many resources as you can. I am assuming that his family is supportive? Maybe you could really talk to them about his past and have them help you for the future. If nothing else this place is here for you. Jessica

Well it's been a week now...his strange behavior did continue and was even more embarrasing as were in public and he jumped and danced and pointed and saluted...called his case manager..he got a call from his doctor about increasing his medicine...he doesn't know why..and finally after a few days of this...he says he knows he was acting crazy...thanked me for..'not calling anyone.....' and said he just has to slow down..but I am afraid to jump back into this relationship..my heart is scared.....
