Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Hello @PeppiPatty, over here my special friend xx

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 ,

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

I was less flexible & more wobbly (on one leg) than usual @Shaz51 During yoga class, this morning.

Got home at 10am, swept floors, now it's 12.45pm already.

Gee, Saturdays just fly-by...

I might need a nanna nap soon.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Canary or finch bird-seed mix @Shaz51 That's fine for the Budgies & small parrots too.

Plus egg & biscuit mix.

Which isn't enough for the canaries to breed - they need fresh boiled egg daily to breed.

Egg & biscuit mix got my Java finches to raise babies once (several years ago).

Many types of finches won't breed without live food (mealworms, termites, or maggots).

That's too much effort, so I don't do that.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

You really have a double caring role @Shaz51 with Mum and Mr Shaz. Is there a little something you are able to do for yourself today?

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

good question @Former-Member and I did buy a new magazine for me to read too xx

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

The wild bird seed has bigger seeds in the mix @Shaz51

The smaller seeds they will be able to eat, but Budgies & small parrots will not eat the bigger ones (eg Millet).

Yes, self-care. A magazine for yourself sounds like a good start.
