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 ,

Goodnight @Shaz51 I'm going to bed soon too.

Other people's anxiety is difficult to be around - especially when they blame others for how they're feeling.

Hopefully Mr Shaz isn't doing that.

Mr D had a bad night - did not sleep well, woke at 1am crying. Not that you could tell this morning, he has been tackling things with his usual enthusiasm @Shaz51 - got brekky ready, did dishes, fed chooks, 2xloads washing and has now gone into town to run an errand and pick up a salad for lunch and veg for tea . I'm having trouble sorting the last of the papers ... yikes.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Hi there @Shaz51. Sorry for my recent lack of response. I am trying to keep up with all my notifications, by reading them on my email, but just havent been on the Sane site for several days.

My Dad had a stroke and was taken to hospital on Monday, so you might say I have been somewhat preoccupied with that. And of course, it never rains but it pours. At the same time my hubby has been getting progressively worse, both mobility and mental wise. Spoke to oncology and they have brought forward his 3-monthly scans. So thats happening today. He's not in a great place, he gets claustrophobic with scans. So I am doing my best to keep him calm and will be giving him a sedative soon. On Drs orders.

But I am reading along and I do care.

Hi to everyone else as well, who I have not responded to. My apologies, its not from lack of care I assure you.

Sherry
