Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

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 ,

I guess life throws us all challenges irrespective of MI or not @Shaz51, MI just adds further complications.

We keep on keeping on ... Mr Darcy has pdoc appt this week, believe there is a chance we could get some clarification on diagnosis.

@Shaz51 @Determined @Faith-and-Hope
Appt today overshadowed by abnormal blood test that came back with routine screening that is probably not psych related. Will ring case worker and see if doc happy to speak to me re Dx and other matters I put in observations to her.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Oh No @Former-Member, trust that all works out OK,
Am familiar with the anxiety that abnormal blood test bring on top of everything else going on.

trusting you are able to get some clarity around dx and future direction as well as the blood test results.

I was thinking your appointment was for tomorrow, will be thinking of you both in coming days. Trust you get clarification soon.

Finished up a more positive day in the Determined house.
Started off with the usual tension, in keeping with the new boundaries I declined to engage in a negative phone discussion which went poorly at the time but this afternoon we went for a walk together and visited darlings parents (next door) and have managed some positive discussions.

Working on a commitment for spending more couple time and family time. 🙂
It is only early days in the boundaries stakes and I am confident there will be plenty of fireworks in coming weeks/ months but am feeling more positive at the moment. The biggest hurdle for me will be to remain consistent. I have already felt the urge to back-peddle when pressure increases.
