He is mentally ill, but he is not a child. You cannot make him take his medicine and it is not your job to force him. All you can do is be supportive of him and tell him why it’s important to you and your children that he take his medications. Either that, or leave. Also, ask him why he he goes off his medication. It could be something as simple as not liking the side effects. Maybe his doctor could prescribe something better suited to him in that case.
I would also recommend counseling or a support group for spouses and families of the mentally ill. You shouldn’t be coping with this alone. NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) might be a good place to start. Good luck to you and your family
You need to express to him that if he doesn’t stay on the meds and he continues this rollercoaster that he’s on than you will call help and get him into a hospital He really needs to stay on the meds because as you know he becomes manic without it and then an all time low it’s not healthy for the children to see or for you to deal with. Let him know you will go and seek help if he doesn’t start helping himself.
Good Luck.
Explain how is actions are affecting you and the relationship. Tell him it is very selfish of him not stay on his meds. Tell him you love him more when he is on the meds because he is more lovable. Tell him when he isnt on the meds you don’t like the person he becomes and the person he becomes is ruining the relationship. Tell him you love him very much and you want to be happy and that he needs to stay on the meds.
it hurts to say this but if they wont stay on the meds you put your life in danger. A woman in this area killed her husband blamed it on the meds it is medication if he takes it….the excuse for your death if they dont…….its real b-leave that
sadly you can’t make him do anything… but i think you should ask yourself a bigger question.. how do you feel? are you still happy? are you children happy? maybe its time for change
maybe like a child give him some kind or reward if he take his meds every two weeks movie tickets or for 3 months a tv whatever your buget is
You should leave or ask him to leave. I don’t think this situation will ever get any better.
ask your Dr.
You have to give him some consequences. Tell him that you and the children can’t and shouldn’t have to live with the fallout from his selfish insistence on refusing to get and stay healthy. Tell him you’ll do what ever you can to support him doing what’s best for himself and his family, but that you will not be held hostage by his disorder anymore. Then, make good on your promise. Arrange to stay with relatives for a while. Think about getting your own place, if it’s feasible.
I know you love him, but you have to think about just how much you’re willing to take, and then make steps to see to it that you don’t have to take any more than that. Do it for your kids. Living with someone with untreated mental illness is no different than living with an alcaholic or drug addict. You acknowledge it as a disease, but that doesn’t mean you need to live in the disease with the person.
