Urgent! What can I do?

[smartlion]

I am facing a very tough problem: my wife has mental disorder. She has been in hospital for more than one month, and even the doctor does not know when she can recover. Although we are permanent residents so that we can enjoy some free service, but the medicine price is very expensive. Since both my wife and I are students, I don't know if I have enough money to pay the bill.
Somebody suggests me that my wife can apply for government aid, but I do not know if such programs exist. If you know such program, would you please tell me the name of the program, and how to apply? Thanks a lot!

你不妨和加京华侨服务处联系，务必自己坚强些！

和医院的人讲，你们需要帮助，务必具体指出哪一方面的帮助。通常他们会为你联系必要的机构。

I think you can call number 560-6000 ask for Employment and Financial Assistance Essential Health and Scocial Support Program (EHSS).

You always can depend on goverment here.

What can I help?

I am going to buy a car recently.

I have no chance to say thanks to Wind--he helped me to pick up my husband from airport two month ago, even though he had something wrong with his neck.

I hope I can help others just like Wind helped me before.

I greatly appreciate all of your help. I have asked the social worker in the hospital about financial assistance, and the social worker agreed to help me.
I also checked the Ottawa's website, but I do not know if my wife can apply, because that program is for people with physical diseases, while my wife suffers phychological disorder.
Currently the toughest thing for me is that the delusion in my wife's mind still exists, even she has been in hospital for more than one month. Because she has delusion, my wife has strong hostility towards family members, including her parents, her sisters, and me.
According to the doctor's experience, patients like her can recover within two weeks. So the doctor was also surprised. Additionally, the doctor found that my wife's psychological age is very young (teenager), so she behaves like a child. The doctor asks me to talk with my wife, but each time she can make me very angry within 30 minutes. I know that I can not argue with her, so the only way for me is to leave. Her sister was also too angry to sleep. I have endured such situation for a month. I do not know if I can endure anymore, for I will be mad in this way. Anybody can give me some advise on how to talk with my wife? Thanks.

这时候你老婆最需要帮助了，挺住啊~~~

 

[Riven]

一定要挺住， 千万别放弃， 因为她是你妻子。
给她唱首她喜欢的歌， 放cd也行， 尤其是你们恋爱时的情歌， 音乐可以使人放松。
讲讲你们相识相恋相爱的故事，唤起她对以前美好时光的回忆。 记得学心理学的时候有这一招。

不知道有没有用， 祝福你的妻子早日康复。渡过这个难关，你们一定会更幸福的。

不晓得该怎么办。只能希望你好运

 

[aviator]

是不是学习,生活压力太大诱发的?
有啥具体情况要帮助?比如象wind说的用车...

其他的朋友要注意劳逸结合,多参加集体活动.注意交流和沟通,保持健康稳定的心态.

所谓心病还需心药医。精神性疾病重要的是找到发病的原因，不妨仔细想想，什么原因导致你wife的病。然后就容易找?医治的方法。药物只是辅助性的。所以你要静下心来想一想，千万不能着急乱了方寸。确实她的病的治愈很大程度上依赖于你。你要坚强，也必须坚强，记住自己的角色。

Best Wishes!
