All you can do is continue to look after yourself and gently encourage best practice in relation to Mr Shaz taking responsibility for his own mental health which does involve medication reviews, lifestyle changes and therapy if needed.

Hello @Shaz51 sorry but I haven't been getting any notifications since 15th January, so I have to keep checking in to see if anything has come in. Except from Sane re today's topic Tuesday Strange eh!
This must be an extra burden on you too Shaz 🌸 Mr Shaz is taking medication so at least he goes to see a GP, maybe you both need to book an appointment to see the GP together so you can both get help with therapy to help get through the truma of the fire and all the stress of everything that has comes with it including looking after and living with your mum. Great advise from all of the forum friends about taking time off for total relaxation. An afternoon won't cut it. Maybe your Dr or mental health team? Can help with getting Disability Pension with all your combined health issues, that way you will have the time to get well.
Take care Always hope🌺

Hi @Shaz51
I'm sorry to hear this - I'll be in touch later - I guess the thought of building a new house is too hard for him - I understand

Oh @Shaz51 I'm so sorry to hear this. It's been such a hard road for both of you lately.
Sending love and hugs your way.

Oh @Shaz51 , with everything that's happened it's not surprising. I think your possibly doing
everything you can. You & Mr Shaz are recognizing there's a problem, that shows strength
from you both, you understand {as much as anyone can} what's happening, your getting
professional medical help & your trying to rest & slow down. I know it's probably a
totally ridiculous suggestion, but - go camping; even if it's just under a tarp with a bed
roll & a can of beans. Do something different, a change in routine, particularly when the
routine is something you have no choice in . . . give yourself a choice, it might make you
feel more empowered & a little better ![]()
{I don't know what the picture was, it didn't 'come through'}
Lots of love to you Shaz ![]()
