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 ,

Morning @Determined

Things are a bit of a struggle today. The past few days really. Not really motivated to go into work. My headspace isn't there. But deadlines alooming. Got to put a happy facade on at work. Be my JOVIAL self.

How are things going for you?

Hey @Anony18
Hoping you can concentrate on the tasks at hand. I find work difficult if my mind is elsewhere.

HI @Former-Member

Am trying to concentrate. Had a long client meeting which was good cause it kept my mind busy and also the information the client was passing on was interesting.

How are things with you and Mr Darcy today?

Steady here Thanx @Anony18,
Feeling a bit nervous, have to leave Mr Darcy on his own for a full day tomorrow. It is the first time since he came out of hospital 11 months ago.

Hi @Anony18

Trust youd day finished ok, I feel you re lack of motivation, trust things pick up for you soon.

My day was up ok, had a uni exam this morning (went much better than expected) so have been up since early to prepare. Given the busy day finding it hard to switch off and sleep now. Have a full day of work (if i could call if work) tomorrow for the first time in a while so could do with the sleep.

My darling is also managing ok at the moment which is a relief. Tomorrow will be a big test as i will be out all day and she will have to do the school run with an early start for music lessons.
