Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Hello @PeppiPatty, over here my special friend xx

Hello Everyone

Love to hear from others on the forum if you experience this

My hubby has been diagnosed with lots of things and has had MI all his life

do you find things goes ok and i start to feel confident and wanting to go forward and then everytime something always happens to upset it -- sometimes I think is it a controlling thing ?? that he wants to be in control ??

Don`t know if I am making this up , but i have that feeling ,

LoL @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope
Apparently I am also a lazy 'house person'
Darling is not at all confident or happy with my house keeping efforts.

@Shaz51 @Determined @Faith-and-Hope

Self care for me is getting in someone every now and then to clean our place. Mr Darcy is too nice to mention my house keeping efforts as if he did it could be thought of as criticising - even though it would be telling it like it is - housework it is not one of my strong points at all. At the moment there is a smell in the junk room and I am worried it might be a dead rat as I put bait out following suspected rodent activity. I don't know where to start looking LOL.

Just wanted to say a quick "thinking of you all" as am going out for the evening.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Checking in on you all this morning @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope @Determined

I was really helped and learned something by the talk patientpatient posted in another thread and I added link in the "whats new" tab, "when mental illness enters a family". At last pdoc appt I said Mr D not so good, did not articulate clearly why I thought this. I am ready for next appt with info set out under headings given - changes in mood, behaviour and thought processes and the improvements I have noticed since meds adjusted - we did have one hiccup - he has picked up again so hoping it is a small trough on uphill climb.
