took my husband for an intake meeting at the county mh office today

8. i know there is a very scared little boy living inside him

i am trying to be as gentle and loving as possible and i am holding his hand and guiding him the best i can. i am going to take as active a role in his treatment as he will let me.

we had another breakthrough last night, though, when he finally opened up to the possibility of taking meds to manage this. he said it will be an absolute last resort, but that's better than his absolute refusal to ever take them and all in the course of a couple days.

had a good talk with my therapist yesterday and then went to dinner and the theater with my family and some friends last night. i was a bit worried about leaving home by himself given his frame of mind the last few days, but i had a really good time.

when he is ready i will tell him that there are people he doesn't even know thinking about him and wishing him the best.
