When he moved to another city to get a job, I stayed and worked while he looked. I planed to join him when we got the house packed and he had a job. I would then come up and look for a job too. He went off his meds and went berserk. I really can’t leave him alone for long. He recently had a couple of bad episodes and he is trying new meds. He feels more positive and less depressed but he is also stoned.
