Besides taking breaks and caring for myself, what are some best practices that any of you have used when dealing with a hyper, steroided/chemod up love one? He is not himself. Cold, rude, needy, critical. I haven't lost my cool, yet but man, it's hard to be this patient. He isnt seeming sick, just hyper. Dr said today he has shingles, but youd never know it by sprnding time with him.. i want him to just relax and rest!Thanks so much in advance.
