Clinical lycanthropy, other mental illnesses and herbal treatments

[Guest guest]

anyone? My husband has been fed anti-anxiety meds (BuSpar and others,

ADD & ADHD medications since he was 6 years old. We have known each

other for 5 years and during the past year of our marriage I have

noticed my husband dwindle into this sick, psychotic, shell of the

man i used to know and love. We have been on the brink of divorce for

nearly a month now because I am with my husband and our two kids day

after day, even through the worst of times, and I have seen my

husband suffer through things a normal person would never give a

second thought to. I have sat back and watch him spiral downward to

the point where he actually scares me. He does not want to be a

zombie, doped up on medications so he can't feel anything, and

neither do I. I want him to be the independent, loving, creative,

magical human i fell in love with so long ago. And our two kids miss

their Daddy. His mom STILL takes him 50 miles out of the way to a

mental health doctor to get the same medicine just higher doses every

three months. He has been on this " temporary fix " for all of 7 years

now. A medicine made to take only 7 months!!! He has gone from 5 Mg

to 30 Mg in 3 months. Only with negative effects to himself and his

family. His mom is ashamed of him and therefore refuses to allow her

ADULT son to seek local treatment for fear her " baby boy " will be

called insane and that she will be labeled the mother of a lunatic.

So Josh sits back and lets her control his life. I offered to help

because I SEE the effects of the medication, the effects of her

negativity towards him. The downfall of our family. While doing some

independent research online I found something that scared me and

knocked a bit of clarity into my husband. The night he scared me

talking out of his head, I found words to quote the entirety of his

feeling, but not being able to answer my question-why?- Wikipedia

page Clinical Lycanthropy. I have been unable to find any other

information regarding this " disorder " and will not label my husband

as such. It just startled me to find that what he described to me in

lucid detail while on his knees, red eyes, and shaking on the floor,

was in black and white printed several years ago---meaning, he's not

the only one who has ever felt like this... Regardless of how these

feelings came about, the jist is, a former non-blood relative of mine

came to visit one day and as soon as my husband saw her became

obsessed, almost to the point of saying he " loved " this strange woman

and was willing to throw away 5 years of memories and two beautiful

boys to follow a feeling. To find out ... " Why? Why do I feel like I

have known her before? Why do I think I love her? Why do I care if

she loves me or not? What posessed me to cheat on my wife with a

complete stranger and then tell her this [story] of being a wolf and

needing to find a mate? " <<<all this has been exerpted from the

conversations my husband and I have had during the past few days of

trying to save our marriage.

 

Before anyone tries to say my husband is crazy, I will say this,...

he is not.. Strange, yes.. but crazy?....I thnk everyone has a little

crazy in them somewhere..

 

I would like any help, resources, stories, anything, just, if

anything to help me understand this whole thing.

 

Thanks, Mary
