Doctors have said that it’s one of the most serious cases of reflux that they’ve ever seen. Apparently, he can’t even stomach headache medicine, let alone meds for his mental issues. Plus, he says that no antidepressants have been able to help. He has VERY intrusive thoughts. I feel so helpless. He is suffering inside- he cuts himself, wishes he weren’t alive, feels like he doesn’t belong. He says himself that he belongs somewhere for doctors to study him. He often starts to give up on our relationship, fearing that he’s only hurting me with all of it. It IS very hard to deal with, but I love him and want him to have some relief. He sees a therapist weekly. Apparently, he’s supposed to be prescribed lithium, but can’t afford it.
