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 ,

You carry a lot on your shoulders, rest is so necessary, think you get the gold, silver and bronze medals.
Hope mum continues to pick up ... you do have a cruise to go on.

DEar @Former-Member

I'm thinking about you. Please not worry if I go a little UN understandable while writing because Mr G is constantly talking to me.

Last week, my friend I went to high school with came over and I gave her $50 and she and me cleaned my home up. Mr G was being Mr G.....all I was feeling was this huge amount of empathy from her. I felt like curling up and crying when she was here.......she even helped me clean my youngest son's room up and we found old doggy do in there.

There was no judegement. She giggled when Mr G was constantly asking where I was ( I would be less than 10 metres away cleaning the toilet ) I felt so energised when she left.

You are completely right on the respnding with kindness. I think I do that too.

But @Former-Member I won this great radio prize, a $270 for two meal and show to a high flutting restruant and I dont want to take him. I need a break.

What do I do?

Also, Mr g is getting fatter and fatter......
