My partner has been in and out of psychosis with lots of paranoia for about 6 months now, it seems like he will be getting back to normal and then like every 30 days it starts creeping back and his brain gets hijacked. He has better resources when it happens now he is less scared and destructive than when it first started but he can’t function “normally” during these times. He becomes extremely obsessive over news and the delusions can find any way to make it personal to his life and make him genuinely believe his ideas and they come with alot of intensity. I really just don’t know what to do anymore as his partner, i feel really lost and helpless. I can’t talk to him much because he just goes on and on and if i do engage its like being caught in a trap and well if you know about psychosis u just know its like talking to a wall. I just don’t know what I can do for him that’s actually helpful or good at this point, it feels like a waiting game every time and I just wish I could do more. If you’ve been through it or are a partner, I would love to hear your experiences and advice as this has just been a bizarre year and i really am losing hope in his condition :/
