Husband with ptsd told me he would like to be a monkey instead of human being

[ConfusedWife1234]

Hi,
I think I need support and a hug more then I need advice because I think there is nothing I can do. My husband has ptsd and he is feeling under much stress at work, because the people working for him do not work well as a team or follow his orders. I while ago he told me he was afraid he was at the verge of a nervous break down and gonna hurt himself. I tried not to think of it, i tried to ignore it and he acted like he was feeling better. Yesterday he was playing monkey with the kids and later he told me he would like to be a monkey, because as human being everybody expects him to do well at work. Again he said he was afraid he was going to have a burn out and hurt himself and that there was nothing I could do.

Ds, 5, acted up in daycare yesterday, he tried to beat up another boy and when they tried to stop him he called them names. I hope he does not notice too much of what is going on.
Yesterday I asked dh how he was. He said stressed but he can cope.

I am really still not sure what to do now... apart from seek peer-to-peer support for him and try to persuade him to try medication.
