After 40 years I saw a doctor who tested me for vitamin deficiencies and I found I was severely low in vitamin D and B12. After 10 months of being treated for the vitamin deficiencies and completely changing my diet I have finally seen some relief from the feeling of being watched or listened to. Nothing ever helped before. The realization that what I was eating or not eating caused my brain to do the things it did makes me very sad because I feel like it was my fault but all I can do now is make sure I am getting all of my essential nutrients everyday because that is what the body needs to function and I have not had any setbacks....only forward motion, so I know that this is what the problem was all along.

His newfound beliefs caused from his delusiinal psychosis put us in constant conflict. All of a sudden he wanted me to believe his absurdness. He had become angry, resentful, that he couldnt convince me of of his new beliefs. Ourchildren were being affected hearing and seeing their dad rage and act weird. I became his trigger said i was the one doing this to him. ?????? Heartbreaking. He became violent to me, i took kids and left him for our safety. Two years he is still no insight, unmedicated, unemployed, and will end up homeless. Why.? Becauyse family friends are afraiud of him and wont accept medical help. My questiin is how do you function productively in society, stay employed, have friendships without medication? It is normal to feel anger and resentment with paranoid thoughts and delusuons because to my spouse they are real. He is beyond my help with no insighf that he is sick. Thanks for posting. Would love to hear from others who are unmedicated how you function in life with spouses, raising children, keeping a job.
