Kim Kardashian One Mission ... Help Kanye

Kim Kardashian is in the middle of an emotional nightmare ... which she has put on hold so she can devote herself to her husband who himself is in desperate shape ... sources connected with Kim and Kanye tell TMZ.

We're told Kim has been "an emotional wreck" since the Paris robbery, but when Kanye fell apart last week everything changed for her ... we're told she has become his rock, maintaining almost a constant vigil at UCLA Medical Center for a week.

Our sources say it has been excruciating for her ... at times Kanye ranting people were trying to destroy their marriage. It's part of the paranoia that has overtaken Kanye.

Kim, we're told, hopes to take Kanye home as early as today, and her singular goal is to help him get better. As one source put it, "She has been an unbelievably devoted spouse. He's a lucky man."
