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

Might pay to document these observations @Shaz51 does he have regular checkups for where the issue could be raised?

@Shaz51 I don't want to add to your burden, I find if I don't write things down I lose track very easily esp when there is added stress. It has been so helpful for me as I have been able to refer to these notes. With so much happening at present I am finding if I don't note sleeping hours in Mr Darcy's mood chart I forget what time he goes to bed even by the next day.

@Determined my dear dad had an old saying about one having "soot on the liver" and being in need of "hepatic decarbonization"

(The saying originates from a humorous story about Santa who suffered an occupational hazard of soot on the liver and became a school teacher. When Claus did this the effect on the other school teachers was so startling a new set of rules was to be drafted. There was to be no housie-housie played in schools and no snack bars in playgrounds.)

Hello my up and down friends

Been a sad week for me as a friend died suddenly, she was one of a couple of understanding friends who I would try and meet for coffee or lunch once a month.

Counting down the days until Mr D's surgery, he is not coping at all well. Have to smile though, he is using the walking frame a bit at home, but will hide it if visitors come...
