hi there, i've been married for 20 years.
I'm possibly Asperger (going to be evaluated on 4/28) and my wife is diagnosed bipolar type I. She's on medication and has been seeing a psychiatrist for several years, and it just starting back to seeing a therapist. She's been convinced that she is being persecuted for several years, ever since she was in a car wreck and was pretty badly hurt. She's been convinced that the government or people in AA are out to get her, causing her accident, mugging her on the subway, and bugging our phone and computer. I try to reason with her, but she just gets mad and tells me I'm not being supportive. I don't know what I need to do to make her feel better. I don't want to be uncaring, but I am feeling very emotional over my upcoming psych evaluation, plus i'm having a scary second mammogram about some "concerning results" on 4/15. Lately, if she brings up phone tapping or says she was followed, i start crying uncontrollably and have had some meltdowns.
what do i do? I know i'm no prize, and we've always been best friends, but it seems like the person i married is fading away.
