We have been back from holiday nearly a week, Bobs panic attacks got so bad on Monday I had to call an ambulance, he was so agitated and I was afraid for him and for me. The doctor prescriped diazepan for 2 weeks to break the cycle of panic.
He is also having periods when he will suddenly turn on me, accusing me of taking his cigarettes or tonight not letting him have a full glass of wine with his dinner,all completely untrue of course, he will recover after about an hour and does not remember what he has said. This is very frightening to me and to him as it has only happened since our holiday. He also I think has just realised that he has a serious condition, it seems to have hit him suddenly and he keeps saying that he is mental and is going to die.
Please help I know lots of you must have gone through similar things, how do I handle these times when he is imagining thingsw? should I retaliate and tell him its all in his mind? should I walk away? I dont know what to do for the best and I find it so upsetting.
It is even harder as Bobs language skills have all but dissapeared, he cannot comunicate what he feels and also does not understand everything that you say to him.
