ORIGINAL: Phoenxx Hi Riot Girl, Depression and abuse are very scary. The worse thing is that he may well be an awesome man, but when the depression hits it's bad. My sweet fawn is an amazing person, as long as she stays on her medication. I took her to the doctor and explained what was happening and then walked out of the room. About an hour later she came out feeling much better. Her talking to the doctor and realizing that the feelings she had were apart from her and not a part of her lifted a great weight. At the worst she was ready to drive a car off a bridge. She would freak out on the kids and on me. Then feel horrible about it. Now, while she still has blue moods, they are normal and very understandable. However, he will not get help, there is not much you can do. It’s like an alcoholic that will not admit it or deal with it. Eventually someone will get hurt, and hurt bad. You said that your girl was waking up nightly and has been doing that since forever? If this has been only since the start of your relationship, you need to get that checked out. If it started BEFORE, then you need to have it checked out even more!!!!! I have a friend who suffers from schizophrenia. Because of the doctor’s fucking with his medication and not telling him fully what they had done, he went on a trip with a relative. Sad to say, the relative did not return. While it is not his fault, he lives with that burden. A friend who suffered from depression, well I feel I failed him. I felt the urge to call him and didn’t. He pulled out a rope and hung himself with it. I had helped him before, but did not insist enough that he go to a professional. Even though it was over 20 years ago I still feel a lot of guilt. Please don’t do that to yourself. Hugs and prayers Tony and sue Guilt? You may have loved these people, but its not your illness. You can give advice, but thats about all. I had a past lover who was/is alcoholic/manic depressive....I tried to assist him to find help. He refused. Once I called the local mental health department to explain his behavior. The social worker had the nerve to say, "yes, you wouldn't want his blood on your hands" Excuse me? Ugh!! I thought that very nervy.... I was sick of him and his behavior. I know I am straying, but this forum is upsetting. I am getting to my advice. Here is how I finally rid myself of this unwanted pain. I found him sitting on my couch one day with a kitchen knife to his chest. I listened to his gripe and left him, saying don't let the blood spill on my rug. I was furious. I had it, that was the last straw. Previously I tried to remove him from my house. The local WV police explained that I could not "kick him out" because my house was his place of residence. Since he did not threaten me, I couldn't do shit. So this time, when he was playing with the knife, I called the local law and told them he was suicidal and threatened ME. Bingo, with a restraining order in effect, he was escorted from my house. So, yep, I lied. And I don't care. I think he has talked to people about his problem. He loved attention and blamed the world. And I blamed myself for putting up with him for so long. But as for Riot, bless you. You don't have to lie. He has threatened you and yours. Use it. Get your restraining order. Get peace. Keeping all in my prayers. K
