Violent Bi-polar condition
Hello,
My fiancé has bi-polar, ADHD, and OCD. His attacks are generally against himself. We have recently moved closer to his mother and all of a sudden his sickness has begun to turn on me. Out of nowhere he will say stuff like, "I'll slit your throat and watch you bleed to death" or he will threaten my life in anyway. He has hurt himself in the past. The first attack at me was verbal and now he is actually starting to pick up objects (scissors, chairs) and threatens me with them. I never fight back when he has the attacks I usually calm him down by saying I love you and after his attacks he feels guilty and says he loves me and does not want to lose me. During the attacks he will say that he does not need me now that he has his mother and that he cannot be in a relationship because he can't love and that he wants to concentrate on getting better first. But hours later he will say, I need you to get better, you're my light and my life. I'm not sure what to do. My family tells me to let him get better and maybe move out or terminate the relationship, but it's hard when you love someone. Am I in the way of his sickness if he says I am? I researched his conditions, he is beginning to get more help and proper medications. He was on Zyprexa but all that made him do was sleep so he stopped taking it. He is hoping to get on Paxil.
During his attacks if he tells me to move away or he'll kill me, do I go? I just get confused because when its done he hugs me and apologizes.
I'm beginging to worry about my safety.
I do see your answers below and I do have to answer that yes he does have tourettes as well, so he does not know what he says sometimes during the attacks but he says he can recognize the actions, that's why he put down the scissors (but it was an intense moment I thought I was going to die) and same thing with the chair he put the chair down after as well
