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 ,

Happy Christmas all. I hope that you’ve all found a moment of joy in what can be a difficult time. More than a moment actually.
Life as (we don’t really) know it:
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
Ah a Hamlet, our patron saint???

Love and best xxxxx

Hey @PeppiPatty

Have been giving thought about which Jordan Peterson talk I liked the most. I don't think I have a favourite as such but this one is quite relevant as at present I know that we might need to make some changes but I don't know what they are.

@Determined sadly at this point in time Mr Darcy's med reduction has had to be abandoned; he never really got his equilibrium back post surgery. On a positive note he is settling a little and has not had thoughts of going AWOL or worse.

Had a nice day out, cafe for lunch then a visit to a waterfall, stopping for a cuppa at a friends place on the way home. Am finding we are needing to do things like this.

Will need to manage household and garden during the week.

Hi @Former-Member and @Determined and everyone. I’m doing ok. Christmas was quiet but fine. Change in meds led to lots of sleeping for my love, but he’s doing a lot better. Although new meds make him a little irritable. All holding out for that magic, miracle pill!
@Former-Member I’m sorry to hear Mr D isn’t doing too well. I hope it improves soon. Happy New Year all. Hope 2018 brings happiness and peace.
