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 , how are you and mr @Former-Member today

last night I did not get much sleep at all , I was just wide awake , I blamed the coffee i had at 8pm

I came on the forum for a while catching up with @Former-Member, @Faith-and-Hope, @Bella1978, @outlander

today we did a 2 hour job this morning and then the rest of the day off , we had a couple of showers and it looked like mr shaz did not want to do anything but sit on the couch

Yes the doctor`s appt -- I have another kidney infection , but I rang up the kidney nurse and talked about me having a ongoing headache all day today and sore neck -- he is thinking it might be my EPO which is anemia, hope not but , have to see the doctor again for a blood tests

I have a specialist appt in june but i will need to do this lot of blood tests first

Hello @Adge, @Determined, @Susana

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

My mr. packed away my jigsaw puzzle table ..... after cluttering the house with excess furniture, he then took a vote with the kids that the place was too cluttered and the jigsaw puzzle table had to go .... I can use a puzzle mat to do one at the dining table, apparently, and then roll it up whenever I a not working on it ..... 😑 ..... jigsaw puzzles have always been a social activity in our house - left out where everyone can see it and contribute to it, even in passing .....

Sigh .....

I will have to live vicariously through yours at the moment @Shaz51 ..... on the verandah table .... lovely ❣️
