yes Eilidh, I do need some support...I recently went to my neuro (I have parkinson's) and told him of the situation, and asked if he thought I could use a few days inpatient for "stress"...specifically, I told him how I felt that I might be at a "critical" point of stress/anxiety because there were a couple occasions when I had clearly lost my patience/compassion for her condition...these occasions found me at my "worst"--I was most unkind and spoke to her like she was dirt...this was entirely uncharacteristic of my "usual self"...normally I'm thoughtfully kind and quiet...it really concerned me that I became so angry and uncaring, and that's exactly what I told my neuro...but, he pointed out that I needed to stay at home so my wife would not, in my absence, redirect her "explosiveness" toward our 14yr old son...then he gave me a script of xanex, told me to "stay neutral" in my wife's presence, and arranged for me to see a shrink in lieu of a few days inpatient for stress...meanwhile, she stays in bed, insisting that her doc says she has "intestinal flu"...I don't even believe she "went" to the doc...I think she's only saying she did so she can stay in bed and deny her depression...I'm going to call her doc today for sure...maybe he'll have an idea of what to do...
