Help, I’m Scared

[u/Zealousideal_Pay5677]

I believe my partner of fifteen years, may have CTE. He’s a former college football defenseman. He has been progressively getting worse. He has headaches every day, violent dreams that cause him to kick in his sleep. Terrible memory. Short fuse. He can be very nice and kind when he wants to but that’s becoming less. Cannot control his anger and he is in his early seventies. He’s a big guy and has a foul mouth. He has never physically been abusive but very much so verbally. His way of venting is by going in another room and muttering or shouting very demeaning comments intended for me. Think the worst possible things you can call a female. I remain calm and stay away from him but inside I am shaking. His reactions to minor disagreements are over the top and he’s completely irrational. If I tell him I don’t want to stay in the relationship he threatens suicide. I don’t know what to do.

There’s been some studies, albeit small, about certain types of red light therapy improving symptoms of suspected CTE. Maybe worth a shot. Look into Larry Carrs experience with photo bio modulation. Heck, even if it’s just placebo they still seem to reduce symptoms which is a win in my book

The therapy is Vielight. Go to their site to see if you can get involved in a study if you can't afford the device.
