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 ,

Aaaaah @PeppiPatty I will wait more than ten tics for you ... any time!

I know Mr Peppi is demanding, but you really ought to have at least one day/night a week for you,

every week.

I dont meant to burden you with an ought to, surely he can cope with that. His overall life will better.

You are a natural social being. Glad you are back ...

@xtine Getting services through the Children's Hospital can be a great help.

We went to their Sleep Clinic. It did not make the issue go away, but at least my son and I both felt we were given some tools to handle it.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

All I know @PeppiPatty is that burnout and kids is for real. I can only handle one. Yep, littke coffee breaks are good, I like riding my bike around the place when I can - or to get from A to B. I am a represented artist so I’m working on a solo show in Vic at the monent and have another planned at a gallery in Qld next year. I wish I had more time to paint, but I just have to do a bit at a time as I’ve just had a pretty awful patch of depression. I’m enjoying reading a bit again these days abd I like to cook too 🙂 Hope your day is nice/calm/manageable

Hi @Appleblossom - that’s good to hear. My daughter needed sleep assistance too when she was a baby, but I found a very particular routine that worked and saved us both. Thank goodness there are still some free public services available!!

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Yes. @xtine but so there should be in 2018 and onwards ...

In a complex society I believe we need some govt services to rely on.

Outsourcing is dreadfully clunky and not the most efficient.

Profit motives are not the most economical.

Actually it would have been nicer for my son if he had sleep assistance when younger but I was always hoping that the father would be responsible about it (hmmmm).

Never mind it is the way things are for us now, I have to learn acceptance without getting mad .... lol ...
