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 ,

@Faith-and-Hope

Somewhere along the line I did miss that you are going to study ... hope you find it rewarding.

We are reading through a daily guide and today it talked about finding treasures that bring hope as people pick through the wreckage of a building after a hurricane has gone through. It talked about how some safeguard things with fireboxes and cloud storage of photos in case of further events.

To me it spoke of finding hope in the things we did not lose in the MH crisis, rather than that which was lost; being prepared so that if another storm comes, protecting that which is important as best as possible.

That does sound like a lot going on for you, all at the same time @Shaz51

Physical health problems are stressful, & hard to deal with too.

I was reminded abruptly of my own ill health (issues) yesterday - when I went to have a navel piercing re-done.

I was told that the scar damage caused by my 3 bowel surgeries is too extensive, & that it would be too painful (or would not hold). So not recommended.

@Shaz51
Are you finding that even the enjoyable things are too much for Mr Shaz?

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Thanks for the offer of a chat @Faith-and-Hope
The things that are of concern are not forum material. I suspect though they may be exacerbated as Mr D going to a peer support group leaders camp this week by himself, just for a couple of days.
