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 ,

I think I would have felt a bit peeved too @Shaz51 esp as I am sure if it was something Mr wanted, stopping would not have been a problem.

Hello @Former-Member, @Faith-and-Hope

I am glad you managed to get everything done today @Shaz51 ..... you’re a real trouper.

It’s a bit scary that Mr. Shaz51 is encountering memory problems ......

I found Mr. f&h’s distorted thinking frightening, but thankfully there hasn’t been much of that for quite some time ..... aside from around his actual e.d. behaviours.

Is the memory loss at a level where it is really concerning you, or feeling unsafe ?

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Oh dear @Shaz51 you are reporting this a bit more often, is Mr Shaz much older than you?

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

My darling often can't remember stuff like that happening... or so she says...

I often wonder if it is can't remember or doesn't want to remember...

Hope it is not somthing too significant for your mr @Shaz51

Hello @Determined, @Former-Member, @Faith-and-Hope

Is the memory loss at a level where it is really concerning you, or feeling unsafe ? -- No not yet @Faith-and-Hope , but watching it

I often wonder if it is can't remember or doesn't want to remember... -- I know what you mean @Determined, but no he can`t remember things ,he forgets names , and have to keep reminding him of thing happening

@Former-Member, he will be 58 very soon

I know my darling can be particually vague when meds are adjusting @Shaz51,
