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 ,

That is a relief @Shaz51 venomous or not, I don't fancy lengthy reptilian visitors.

HI @Former-Member - I just watched the you tube link on bipolar relapse prevention with Dr McKeon... fantastic content - life changing for me right now ... I kick myself for not educating myself more - this was soooo helpful ... now I understand bipolar II mixed episode rapid cycling diagnosis much better after this explanation and how amazing to also have practical information on how to help live with it and prevent it recurring !!!!!!!! Thankyou so much ... education is really the key ! Many thanks and now I need to sleep 🙂

@Mandy1

Took me far too long to educate myself which included a good couple of years of crisis. I get the impression that when a patient (with the support of a carer) is proactive in their treatment, when they monitor and document symptoms, response to and side effects from drugs, you are able to find a good balance between meds and lifestyle contributing factors.
