After a pretty calm few weeks - very loving and docile - Monique seems really to have gone off the rails mentally.
For a long time there has been confusion - sometimes not knowing who I am - not knowing who the children are -- assorted memory loss problems.
For the last 3 days Monique is concerned - in anguish- over the worries that I am trying to steal her money combined with enormous concern that we have no income....
She has muddled her fathers life with mine - thinks that the property we have was purchased by him. Thinks he was a tv director etc etc - wires totally crossed and it is not difficult to see where the problem is but what to do about it?
I have tried explaining patiently, tried showing her bank statements and deeds etc but of course none of this is rational.... Because it is the sole - constant - continuous topic of conversation - day and a lot of the night hours, it is beginning to worry me.
I am beginning to think I should take her to the doctor? What she has is a pretty intense form of paranoia (mind you before the docile weeks there was the can't go to the lavatory weeks/months when she actually was)
Somehow though this new paranoia seems more intense - possibly because I am being asked to supply answers that are impossible to supply as she thinks I am lying.....
What are others experiences please? Have others been prescribed anti-paranoia medication?? Trip to the Doc is difficult because I am not sure how to present the symptoms in a 15 minute interview with Monique present or do you recon I just roll with the punches until the next development?
