Poor mental health

My husband has ptsd, anxiety,  and depression, but he won't take his medicine.  I don't see this as an excuse to treat me and talk to me the way he does. I'm very hurt and upset by how I'm talked to. I'm 4 months pregnant and I think if he really wanted to make this work he would take his medicine instead of letting it sit on his desk and waste away. I'm tired of it and it's taking a toll on me mentally.

like above a very hard choice

im adhd rage disorder ptsd and more

i made holes in the walls threw broke things

i broke a unreplaceable collectable she had

she put up for five years

then one day the swat team showed up and took me

i decided enough she agreed

its been a 6 year long to a new person with allot to go but rage is gone

and more But I made the decision the choice and committed to the tests the medication experiments the whole lot but i refuse to stop any because i like the new me

he has to make the choice he has to stay with it pushing nagging wont help

you dont deserve abuse i was blessed with a woman who waited

but if he wont it may be hard depression time

good luck

I'm very sorry for what you are going through. I myself have PTSD, as well as the other things that your husband has. I take my meds and although they do help, I still go through times when I lash out at my husband. I know it's wrong, and I hate myself for some of the things I say. I always apologize and work hard to be a better person. As far as you yourself is concerned though, REGARDLESS of your husbands problems, YOU DO NOT DESERVE TO SUFFER THE REPERCUSSIONS! You can't make him take his meds, but you can however decide how much you are willing to put up with. I understand that making a decision to stay or leave at this time would be extra difficult for you at this time during your pregnancy. I was on your end of the realm years ago when I was pregnant with my second child and an abusive significant other. I chose to leave and found that a peaceful household was worth it for me. (Ironically enough my PTSD developed because of the mental, emotional, and physical abuse that I had gone through with him. ) just food for thought.
I wish you the best that life can offer for both you and your baby, and hope that you can find peace in your life.
