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 @Former-Member

I just had a look at my response to you that was supposed to be reflecting on the positives that you pointed out to me from my previous post, unfortunately it seems to have turned into another giant dump of negativity. I just wanted to apologise, it was not directed at you and certainly was not caused by your input.

I am grateful to have somewhere like this to come an think out loud, I just don't want to add to anyone else's worries in the process.

Thankyou and everyone else for your kind words and support.

D

Hey @Shaz51

Hoping things steady with Mr Shaz and his med reduction. How are you doing? How are things looking in the laundry?

Mr Darcy tried to avoid meds tonight (with a smile) but took them when I asked him to. I have one concern since his last med change which could be a normal discontinuation reaction or not, differential diagnosis with poorer prognosis still weighing on me.

Take care
Darcy

Hi @Former-Member

Thinking of you as you progress through this.

@Shaz51

Thinking of you and mr Shaz also.

My darling is doing ok at the moment, planing an early morning bike ride tomorrow so really hoping she doesn't overdo it.

Hi @Shaz51

Trust everything settles for you with Mr Shaz and his meds.
Its good that the laundry worked out ok for you 🙂

Things are ok here at the moment, my darling missed her planned ride this morning because it was raining, tried going on the indoor trainer and found part of it was not working. Another job for me 😕

I am ok at the moment, a little down after my weekend rant but will get over it, not much sleep at the moment as my sinus is playing up. Have a uni exam tomorrow, will be happy when that is over.
