Wife Needs Prayers

I put this on the other message board and thought I would put it here too since all of you have meant so much to her. This is Janie's hubby, Boyce. She doesn't know I am on her laptop, so quiet please. Janie has problems and needs prayers right now. I know she is manic depressed and I am trying to get her to a doctor. I had to call the emts recently and she spent 3 days in a psychiatric hospital. It was the longest 3 days of my life, not to mention hers and I hated having to have to call them, but I didn't know what else to do. She had a breakdown and used the kitchen shears to chop off all her hair and she ripped-yes ripped off all her clothes and was threatening to "just leave" naked as she was "ugly" and didn't care what happened to her. She refuses now to leave the house for anything. I tried to get her to go with me to Wal-mart yesterday, but 4 blocks from the house she suddenly opened the car door and told me she was walking home. Due to street repairs and traffic blockages I could not go after her, but fortunately she did go back home and I found her in bed when I got home. I cannot interest her in anything. She just spends her days in bed looking at the ceiling. She won't read and has even put down her crochet hooks, something she has loved doing since she was 8 years old and does beautiful work-museum quality. Getting her to eat is another nightmare. I can manage to get 3 protein drinks in her barely each day since she likes them, but anything else requires a bit of manipulation and sneakiness. I think this breakdown has been building for several months due to family and financial problems and I just could not see it coming, she was hiding it very well. I don't know how long this will go on, but please keep her in your prayers. Thanks, Boyce

Boyce, I am so sorry Sandra is going through such a hard time. Please if there is anything I can do please contact me. Please keep us posted I do miss seeing everyone at the get togethers > You all are always so nice and great to see and talk to. ..Love Beth Martinez

Boyce, I am sending prayers your way. I am sorry that Janie's having such a hard time. I have had a loved one go thru depression and I know how hard it is and how helpless you can feel. It is very important that you get her to a doctor and she gets on medication. It sounds like it will be hard to get her to go but call in family and friends and set her down and let everyone talk to her and maybe she will see the love and go for help. Let me know if I can help in any way. Take care.

My heart goes out to you. My mom has a LONG history of similar issues. If she was hospitalized for 3 days did they evaluate her meds? Was she on meds? Is she taking meds? Why did they let her go after 3 days? Insurance?

Boyce, I am soooooo sorry to hear of this happening to Janie. Please know that you and her are very much in my prayers and thoughts. She has come so far in her quest to be a normal person, and I hope that this is just a temporary setback, and that she will be able to accept any and all help that will come her way. Please know that if there is ANYTHING that I can do for you, all you have to do is ask. I love you both. Norma

will absolutely remember er in my prayer

Boyce, Janie is definately in my prayers! I am so sorry she's having a hard time right now! I hope that she can see her Dr and get on meds or get her meds adjusted. HUgs to you & her, Tonya

Hi Boyce, Please tell Sandra she is in my thoughts and prayers. And please let her know it is not unusual for anyone who has gone through what we have gone thru to go thru episodes of depression. And tell her that her hair will come back in... no reason not to go to Walmart.... I know you have always been a huge support to her, and now is the time to treat her like the Queen she is. This is just temporary, keep a close eye on her and remind her just how far she has come. She'll be back to her normal self soon. I've been where she is... have had 3 hospitalizations of my own... 2 6 weekers and one 8 day'er... Make her follow the dr's directions, and let her know we are all here for her. Hugs, Susan

Boyce: Sorry to hear that Sandra is not feeling good but I will surely include you and her in my prayers and she will be back to her old self so we can see yall at the next event. Take good care of yourself also for she will need you. Best of luck Mary
