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 ,

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

After his very bad day yesterday we organised lunch today and then a movie at his home which use to be our home. So its comfortable for him.
We had great conversation he was very willing to discuss yesterday.
Then when i went to leave thats when the day goes bad and takes a turn. The down starts.

However he has told me tonight that he has made the choice to stay here and he has been hinting at me that his choice was that for a week or two.

@Shaz51 i wish sometimes he would just say it and not hint.

Oh not here. @Shaz51

Because I was late for appointment.irl She is very pointed about timing makes 10-15 min adjustments, but I was an hour late to her house. Sent email and left chocolates and will see her in new years in choirs.

I am feeling a little distant here on forum, but nothing due to anyone here. Just pulled into myself with too much on my plate with my boy. There are lots of other community guides and great supportive posts from others. I am hanging in background.

I have a few solos this week with a good orchestra. It is very affirming. Both my new conductors are quite young and very well qualified and seem to recognise something in me, the other one wants me to boost the sopranos. It matters as I have had a lot of rebuffs and snobby putdowns in choirs. I am tired and very sad from long term stress with my son and fearful for the future. The solos do not stress me so much as anchor me and give me a purpose and schedule of things to do. I am feeling buffeted by the winds of IRL. Thanks for asking though. @Shaz51

Got a call from the mower repair service @Shaz51 mower has too much oil in it (vs not enough oil causing death of a previous machine).
