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 ,

Hopefully you can arrest the kidney decline a little with the special diet you are following.

Mr D finding things boring at moment but he doesn't know what he wants to do @Shaz51.

Hi @Shaz51 and @Former-Member im so sorry your partners are struggling at the moment, i know how easy it is to slip itno anxiety and depression, it always seems to catch you off guard, maybe your partners can make some new years promises to find little things to enjoy, something each day. nothing big, maybe a smile, a hug, a shave. just something to be kind to themselves?

just a thought, hugs to you both, you are amazing partners and your partners are lucky to have you both

I've decided I'm done adulting and that also means I'm not getting older lol. My brain still tells me I can do things, but my body isn't so willing lol. My hubby is so fit, I really dunno why he's with me, I think its my love of cheese...and chocolate...😉

Lets hope your diet can do some good, its amazing what the body can fix or at least slow down with the right tools @Shaz51 xx

@Janiee, I have an appt with my dietician on frieday so I have sent her an email this afternoon , so it will be interesting to see what she says

My brain still tells me I can do things, but my body isn't so willing -- very true xx

Also, don't judge me, but due to my new no adulting decision, I had pancakes for tea 😋 lol.

I'm sure the dietician will be very great, there's so many fantastic recipes out there now and so many different foods in the supermarket now too, makes it easy to get ingredients. Probably won't recommend pancakes though lol @Shaz51
