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 ,

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Hi @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope @Cath22 @soul
Mr Darcy all upset, woke up anxious and unrested despite being in bed for 11 hours. A friend asked us to pick him up from the airport yesterday but gave us the wrong day - did a 6 hour round trip yesterday - insisting we go straight home, he refused to stop anywhere to enjoy the day (we did stop for lunch and he settled a little). We are up again at the crack of dawn to do it all again today. Mr D takes so long to get ready but I just have to remain calm and patient. The worrying thing for me is what he says when he gets upset that gives me reason to believe that hope is still absent.
