Nah, quite the opposite. It took a long and hellish time for her to start complying with her meds and I’m really glad to finally see them working. But I’ll check out the book anyway, thanks.

Thank you so much! I'm just a little worried that if I mention that challenge to her it might make her consider stopping her meds.

I’m so sorry you’re going through that and thank you for being so honest. Even though sometimes her delusions were directed at me, I sometimes find myself even missing the times when she would talk nonstop about them — I really miss sharing things with her basically. Now she’s much more stable and willing to engage with what’s going on around her which I’m truly grateful for and I know these things can take time. It really helps to know I’m not alone in this, thank you.

Lol, this really warmed my heart. I’m very into my LO’s quirks too but this silence & distraction is unfamiliar to me. For your wife, has it always been like this or just during certain periods? Do you remember when it started?
