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 ,

Hi @Shaz51!

Yes - I remember you telling me that you have only one functioning kidney. I can imagine that must get very stressful sometimes - especially, trying to keep up with all the medical appointments for both Mr. Shaz and yourself.

I will keep my fingers crossed, hoping that the X-rays for the osteo arthritis, and the appointment with the blood specialist in January, goes well!

Hoping Mr. Shaz and you have a great time seeing S2 and S3!
