For a little background My wife has anxiety and is taking meds for it now and has been almost the entire time if known her. She has in the past periodically decided not to take her meds causing her anxiety to spiral out of control until she finally realizes she needs them, it's not a great situation at home but I don't want to abandon her.
That's not the problem right now, she manages a store and has worked herself into an almost mental breakdown situation because she can't let anything go and thinks she is the only one who cares and can do the job. She loves her job and worked basically everyday from early September thru January, the owner of the company has told her many times to take off and let things go but she can't do it and now wants to quit thinking that will solve her issues. I think whatever job she gets she will obsess over it and unless she gets help she will never truly be fine. Yesterday while working her day off she threw a tantrum crying and hitting her hands on her legs repeatedly for 2-4 minutes before calming down and she had a crying jag again today while at work this morning again working on a scheduled day off. I know she needs help but I don't know which steps to take and was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how i could handle this situation? I inow if I tried to take her to a hospital she would absolutely go berserk because she doesn't recognize the issue.
