I have had CIDP for 12 years. In the past 2 years I believe mine has accelerated due to stress. Stress from worrying about the future. I feel like I am on an emotional roller coaster that is causing extreme pressure on my marriage. She has threatened to leave several times because of outbursts and the emotional eruptions. Not to sound like Yogi, but the worse it gets, the worse it gets. If there is anyone out there who can put in writing how angry and emotional you get and how depressed you can become, I would be grateful just to know I’m not the only one.
My fear is that she is 55, I am 56. She is considering what the future will hold. She has said that “she has her life to live.” It makes me so sad. I don’t know what I will do without her.
Thank you and God bless.
November 20, 2016 at 11:32 amI have CIDP and my wife is threatening to leave me because of my anger outbursts. Never violent. Just over reacting to small things when I’m feeling badly or scared. She says my behavior is just an excuse. I’m still walking but it is now in my arms and hands. It is insidious. I volunteered to go to therapy and counseling but still every now and then you come apart. I tell her it is not an excuse. I just try to make her understand. I apologize profusely but she says it can’t happen ever again.
I’m scared to death of being alone. Unless you have lived it you don’t know the pain, fear, anxiety, and yes the anger you feel.
Am I wrong to feel sometimes it’s not justified, but it will happen. Now that she has drawn the line it makes life even more stressel worried I will make a mistake.
Please let me know. Thank you and God bless.
