Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

There's so much going on @Shaz51 Not easy to juggle so much at once. Drop back in and let us know how you're going when you feel up to it. Look after yourself 🌻

Hello @Former-Member, @Former-Member, @outlander

just being talking on sane chatline

The thing is Mr shaz wants to stop work , our business to go on centrelink and our regular jobs

he can not cope with centrelink and changes his mind all the time , I am feeling overwhelmed , and i want to see him / us and my mum happy

mr shaz hates making decisions , and I don`t know weather to go ahead and apply and do all the paperwork and everythng with centrelink

it is soo confusing what to do

Oh @Shaz51 I do hope you get some clarity as what to do.

Don't you wish it was as simple as getting our loved ones to sign a deed of undertaking that they will cooperate with the process?

Chatline = 😀

That's really difficult @Shaz51 It's hard to make those big decisions.

@Former-Member and @outlander @Former-Member @Former-Member

You're getting good support @Shaz51 my special friend.....

how about listening to everyone ..... but my suggestion is to be patient and sleep and when ready: write

positive steps on one line and

negative steps on another ??

Wouldn't that be nice @Former-Member

Wouldn't that be nice @Darcy, I agree @Determined xxxx

thank you @PeppiPatty, @Former-Member, @outlander

sleeping on it sounds good , but i know it will keep coming to a head , just hope it does not end up mr shaz going to hospital again

hello @Determined, @PeppiPatty, @Former-Member, @Former-Member, @outlander, @Adge

Thank you my very special friend @PeppiPatty , I did sleep on it which was good and I made 2 lists like you said and then showed Mr Shaz , so at the moment we are going to continue what we are doing until we think it is time to stop and go from there

so no work today , so we did my mum`s gardening and been to the dump , afternoon off now xx

hope everyone is ok ,sending you all hugs

@Shaz51 Something Mr Shaz may not realise is that there is some flexibility with the DSP - it is not an all or nothing situation - a recipient is able to work part time up to 30 hours per week. Not sure how it ties in with the hours you are currently working.
