Dealing with dh anxiety...again

Dh had a complete breakdown about 2 years ago. Medication, counselling, medication, a year off and totally new job and he had made huge strides.

It was a nightmare at the time and nearly tipped me over the edge too. He was quite often v unpleasant.

The terminal illness of a close family member seems to be triggering something similar again. Hes again really hard to be with. How do I get him to see the behaviours are back. Or, do I, as I'm kind of leaning towards, back off completely for the sake of my own mental health.

He doesn't think that that hes anything other than a bit grumpy, trying to cope with family and newish job.

What sort of behaviours?

Would he be willing to seek help from GP?

Trouble is, if he can't recognise that he's acting differently he might not think he needs help. Appreciate it can be really frustrating for you though.

What does he do?
Does it affect the whole family? Kids as well?
You don't have to put up with it.
I'd be backing away.
Maybe you could record him and show him?

Is he still on medication?
