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 ,

Hi @soul. Just after 1am here. I am still up with a gripey stomach pain .... just waiting for it to settle.

Have you slept at all ?

Yes I have @Faith-and-Hope. I was exhausted but have had a couple of hours. Will try to get back to sleep now.

Sorry about your pain. Hope it eases soon.

I hope you both have been able to drop off to sleep. @soul & @Faith-and-Hope

I saw it was 1 and 3 am depending on time zone.

Its 4.40 am here and I have not slept Just saying hello. I dont post on this thread much as I left my husband with MI 15 years ago, so its not a current situation for me.

Thinking of you all. @Former-Member @Determined @Shaz51 It is difficult. I found your discussion about his meds very sensible @Former-Member I hope I can get to such clarity for my self and my son.

Good Evening.

Hi @Appleblossom - I don't relate to this thread either. I just know that @Faith-and-Hope hangs out here a lot. I got a couple of hours sleep in. I'll try to have a power nap later.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

I'm okay @Shaz51. Sounds like you're not though. What can you do about it? Or does it just have to subside by itself?
