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 ,

Oh @Shaz51

I know you will look after Mum irrespective of this, but it does sting.

Hi @Shaz51

I am sooooooo glad we have the Support Button now - because it would be so hard to "like" what is not happening

That is not good news - I get it that you will do what you are doing anyway but why not?

That's a kicker

Sometimes you have to try again - and again - and again - and all this at a time when you don't really have the time or the energy

I'm sorry to hear that Shaz

@Shaz51

No, it does not matter but it is disappointing. I know I would be inclined to possibly question my self worth if it happened to me.

I just want to remind you that you are an unsung hero. That you are a beautiful person. What you do is important to the ones you love (not to mention the kindnesses you show to forum members).
