Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Hi @Former-Member

Thinking of you and hubby tonight, trust the day went ok.

Hi @Determined - the day got a bit better. Despite the horrendous weather here in the west it was dry enough to play tennis. So off we did to play tennis in the wind and cold...no rain though. I really needed it to take my mind off things and also help me be positive. Right now I feel somewhat positive but who knows what tomorrow will bring. For now I will hold on to this positivity.

That is great to hear about your uni exams. Haven't done an exam in years so I don't remember much about sitting them other than the nervous feeling! Do hope your darling does alright tomorrow. Have a fingers and toes crossed xx

Hi @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope @Anony18 @Maryjune @Former-Member

How has your day gone? I trust everything has gone well for you.

Have not had a bad day here, batteries running low at the moment though, its been a long day.
Have another hour of work to go but have a break for the next 1/2 hour. zzzzzzz

My darling has gone well so far today, I brought bub to work with me to make the school run easier for her this morning and she picked him up after. Bub enjoyed exploring and chatting up all the ladies and it made things much easier for my darling, win - win. Big boys went to Grans after school an will come home later after I get home.

Hi @Rose96

Please don't feel bad for getting your negative thoughts out,
I agree it does help to be able to get things out (think out loud as I call it)
I have been mostly negative myself lately so can relate to how you feel. Having this space to talk about things has been so helpful to my wellness, this flows on to my darlings wellness I find.

it seem odd that they require more money for an extension on assessment,
I have been very lucky with how accommodating my university and the teaching staff have been, I dont think I could continue at the moment without that support.

I trust that you can support your partner in this and can get on top of the course work. I often get behind in my assessment so feel his pain and frustration.

It will be a long afternoon for you, I will be thinkng of you and trust you have a safe drive home.

HI @Determined - day is not too bad. Busy and got a spring to my step despite what is happening in my life, ie still no contact from my partner as I am hoping and therefore in this "limbo" of are we ok or not in his eyes. Think soon enough one will have to reach out and see where his headspace is at.

Am so glad to hear things are well today for you and your darling has gone well. We always need to appreciate the good days we have.
