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 ,

Have not noticed it with vacuuming @Shaz51, but this is often done when he is not inside but would suspect timing would probably be the key.

Might see if Mr D would wear earplugs - we have the headphone variety, but they interfere with his had.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

the headphone variety, -- yes mr shaz does not like them , they get in the way @Former-Member

so with the vacumming I usually do it when he does things outside

funny he got his dad`s push mower out the other day -- has not been used for a loonnng time , he got it going and then mowed the whole lawn

A little late in my reply, have been pretending to work here, spent 7 hours on this presentation today and made little progress 😞 . Time to call it a day I think and try again tomorrow.
