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 ,

Don't you just love those helpful family comments NOT 😬.

Hope you can find your way clear even for a 10 minute mini self care session.

@Shaz51, I've been in a position where I've had people trying to tell me what I should be doing when I knew I was already doing as much as I could, and more than I really should have been doing for my own health. Methinks you're in the same spot. Is hard...

Emotional times @Shaz51, allow yourself tears, Mr D not comfortable with them, but I just ask him just to hold me and not to say anything.
