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 ,

A friend described my mum as a tough old broad @Shaz51, not sure if that would apply to your mum too, my mum was reluctant to use air con when family got it for her 80th but now she does.

My inlaws have aircon but rarely use it, poor Dad gets in trouble for using a little 12v fan because it might use too much power. Its nit like they cant afford to use it.

Going ok here @Shaz51, you easing back into work? I went to the dentist today, had the remains of a tooth taken out. Something I've been needing to do for a while, starting to get the self care happening.

@Sanatorium23 How did you go with your love and doc? Do you accompany your love to his appts? I have been going into gp appts, at the end of pdoc session and in with case worker since Mr D attempted. I am not sure whether I should start to hang back a little as he has steadied a lot. I am reluctant to with his next appt as he had a lot of problems since last appt and a monitoring threshold has been crossed - this could mean a significant med change, Mr D has no idea of side effects and the appropriate questions to ask - he relies on me for this. (His diagnosis is bipolar ii + -however, there iis not consensus in the treating team in relation to this).
