Last night's incident with my husband is triggering me NOW... WTF.
Thoughts are ramping back up, rolling around again. And I can't sit still at all. I'm agitated. At least I don't think I'm paranoid today.

I'd be happy talking to him anytime about anything he wants/needs to as long as he's not drunk and yelling.
He hasn't been controlling his temper at all throughout this episode.

I've been trying to hide everything that's been going on with me for the last month and a half to the best of my ability to protect him from further anxiety and pressure... I have put him through a lot.

He thinks everything is always about me though, but everything is always about him. He doesn't seem to care that he's triggering me. Or maybe he doesn't realize it. Or maybe he just can't control himself because of his drinking.

Tonight I go up to 300mg of Seroquel, and tomorrow is my last dose of Abilify (16mg). Come Wednesday I will be on:

300mg Seroquel
200mg Lamictal bid
200mg Topamax
1mg Xanax tid, prn
50mcg Synthroid

I have a feeling I will be calling pdoc's office Wednesday.

Yuck.

P.S. My doctor requested an RN case manager for me because of all my medical and mental health issues. She just called, and is making a home visit Thursday. She seems very nice. Sometimes you need a good advocate.

as if you don't have enough to handle.

I am glad that you will have a case manager! that should help, ask for a therapist if that would help you.

I took 300mg of Seroquel last night, and 10mg of Abilify this morning. I feel a little sedated, but otherwise I'm feeling pretty damned good!!!

I was seeing the same therapist for at least 8yrs. but she left. I did get a new one. It's hard starting from scratch. But she's SOOO nice.

My husband seemed to want to forget about the incident when he got home from work yesterday.
I told him that things only seem to be all about me because he never wants to talk about anything, but I'm here whenever he wants or needs to, but I don't want to do it when he's drunk or yelling.
He just said, "I know."

Kay

that is so great that she is so nice. i wish you luck. i wonder if your husband ever talked. does he like his job?

My husband had a very hard time when I was diagnosed with MS (in 2008). I asked him to go to see a pdoc and therapist. He agreed, took 1 mo of Prozac and went to 1 appointment with a therapist...
He has a lot on his plate right now. The social worker at the psych hospital offered him services both times I was there, but he said no.

He's not entirely happy with his job. I don't think anyone is. He travels to different job sites, so some days are better than others.
When he has to work at this one site in particular, he has to be there for weeks at a time. He has to drive 3 hours a day, and the place is just horrible.


Kay

3 hours a day would get to me real quickly.
hoping that he doesn't have that too often.
I am hoping that you guys learn how to better communicate with each other.
It sounds so hard.
