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 ,

Yes it does feel that way @Former-Member, I am thinking of you and Mr @Former-Member as I write this

Yes Mr shaz can not handle centre link at all , I fell he has had enough but he is torn , he hates making decisions

We had a talk last night as he is coming out of the low but I feel it will raise its head again

We have a 60 th birthday dinner to go too tonight for my cousin

D1 has flown back here for the weekend for a wedding and her partners birthday

I have an appt with diabetes educator, doctor and dentist next week

Not sure how long mum will be in hospital , one day at a time xx

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

That doesn't sound good @Shaz51

I am sure you already realise that if he gives up the business he will be anxious about that too

It seems to me that he is getting worse - but what do you think and feel about this

When you say he doesn't want to keep going - is this a temporary thing or more of the same old Mr Shaz with life getting too hard for him

And your Mum is still in hospital too - I guess you will be busy with her when she comes home too

This is a difficult time for you and your health too - would giving up your business be a good idea?

Decisions decisions

Dec - your spare Mum

Hello my second mum @Owlunar xx

You know my Mr shaz sooo well , he will be anxious in whatever we do which makes it harder to decide what to do

Yes I feel he is getting worse and one minute he wants to get help and then he doesn't

The old Mr shaz appearing, I have suggested a solution and am encouraging him to spend time doing his hobby

Dinner party was lovely last night , even though everyone asked me how my mum was

Today we are off to see D1 who has flown home for the weekend

Hi @Shaz51

I really hope Mr Shaz can get interested in his hobby which I seem to remember is photography - I took a lot of photos in the past - I can see something fantastic but I am not at all artistic and so photographs are a great way to do it

I need a new camera with apps - I am thinking of getting on of them before I go to Queensland - I want a selfie of myself standing right at the tip of Australia and my phone is not quite what I want in a camera

It's great you had a dinner party last night - yes - of course everyone is going to ask how your mother is but I guess that takes the edge off the fun because you remember what's happening when you need a little time off.

All the best for a great weekend with D1 and I know you feel Mr Shaz is getting worse - hopefully seeing his daughter will give him a lift

Sending hugs from your second Mum - Dec
