Hi @PeppiPatty,

My dear friend, i know the pain of caring for someone with Schizophrenia, my aunt has it and she has moved to our town, it is so heartbreaking to see how they are, and you are right about people giving suggestions, you know what you need to do, he is your hubby and you are so amazing staying by his side, no matter how exhausted you are.

have you thought about reaching out for respite? a day or two just to be yourself might help recharge the batteries. i know when i was a full time carer for my father how exhausting it is trying to care for someone day and night.

hugs my friend. you hubby and Mr Arlo are always in my thoughts and well wishes.

Jacques

hi @Shaz51 and @Former-Member

Yes me and my partner both have MH issues, serious ones, but we are so lucky to be able to support each other in times of need and we have made a promise to each other that we will seek outside help if we feel we are not coping, we have also promised to be honest with each other and we communicate everything so their is understanding between us, she is such an amazing beautiful woman and i am so so lucky to have met and fallen in love with someone so special

Lovely to hear @Jacques, and remeber to drop in and say hello my awesome friend from time to time as I love seeing you here

Ha ha @Former-Member, no I texted mr shaz when we were 10 minutes out of the town , gave him time to pick us up xx
