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

@Former-Member last time I cleaned out our shed I brought a truck home from work and took close to 6 cubic meters of stuff to the dump. It was hard enough loading most of it in the first place (I strugge emotionally letting go of stuff) but when I got to the tip planning to dump it and run the grinch running the show made me sort it into different piles, was not a pleasant experience for me.

Worse still I was supposed to have the truck back before factory start up and ended up being 2 hours late. On the bright side the boss thought me having to sort everything was funny so was not too fussed about getting his truck back late.

Mr. Shaz Mr. Darcy and Mr.F&H are triplets -- I think soo too @Faith-and-Hope

Well yesterday I was worried , wondering if i have some anxiety happening , I ended up with the biggest headache / neckache in the afternoon ever

I remembered saying on here 2 and a half years ago the Mr shaz goes around in cycles , I think this is one of them , then I have been throwing things out and giving lots of things to the op shop -- have to stop now

a lot depends on ME

Hey @Shaz51 🙂

Sounds like yesterday was difficult with feelings of anxiety and a headache. How are you feeling today?

Do you like sorting things out and giving them away? I love purging and clearing out my stuff!

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Hi @Former-Member, thank you

I think today is the aftermath of yesterday , tired today , we worked this morning , but raining this afternoon so no work which is good

Mum calls me a hoarder , but i get times when i will go through things and then Mr Shaz can not find anything

yes Mr shaz has been playing yoyo and adding extra meds lately including sleeping tablets , so hoping it will all settle down soon

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Yesterday sounded like a very draining day, so I'm glad that rain has given you some respite from work.

Haha sounds very familiar to what happens in my house!

I hope things settle down for Mr Shaz soon 🙂
