My husband has Hepatitis C genotype 1a. 2013 has been a bad year as far as his mental health goes. He is physically ill every day, but his mental health has gotten worse and it's really hard to deal with. I don't know what to do because his family and mine have both told me to leave him, but I feel bad doing that. He says that if I can't even handle him now, I wouldn't be able to handle him while doing treatments. He won't do the treatments because of YouTube videos that he watched where people explained how it made their viral levels go up. He is one of those stubborn people that won't look at what good it's done for people, instead he focuses on the bad it's done. He's upset with doctors because he is mad that they give him advice on what to do when they don't have Hepatitis C and they have no idea what he's going through, so he looks at it like what right do they have to be a doctor for Hepatitis C. He thinks that just because you go to medical school and study about it in a book doesn't mean you know anything about it or what people go through. I'm sick of trying to "hang in there" every day. I am really young, only 32 years old, and my husband is 34. He is suicidal and tells me every day that he wants to die because he is sick of the pain. He won't go to a mental health care facility because he is one of those people that doesn't believe in taking pills. He thinks it's a government ran operation and people who are dumb enough to take pills are nothing more than guinea pigs. I don't know how to deal with his anger anymore and I know that I shouldn't have to. I really love this man and ever since a doctor gave him a timeline of 5-7 years left to live, my husband is sticking to that and became an angry man ever since. Are there any spouses out there that are having a hard time dealing with Hepatitis C symptoms and if there are what do you do and how do you deal with it?
