Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

I would hate to see Mr D return to where he was @Shaz51. I am afraid my view on psych meds given their appalling side effects is to advocate for Mr D and his desire to take to he absolute minimum necessary to maintain stability. I will read up and speak up, but I will also listen to and respect the treating team and encourage Mr D to adhere to treatment. I would not want him off meds either.

@Shaz51 @Former-Member

Seems to be a common thread here lol

I am also perceived to be a killjoy.

Selective adulting I call it.

yes @Former-Member, @Determined

sometimes the side affects are still a worry

I agree @Shaz51 @Former-Member

While side affects are terrible unmedicated = so much worse for our loved ones.

Finding the balance is the key.

very true @Determined, @Former-Member and each day is different

Rained here this morning

we jut mowed a lawn in betwen showers

home again now

Had yard work planned here today @Shaz51 but got called into work.

Rain predicted tomorrow and across the weekend.

yes same here @Determined, the ex cyclone has reformed back into a cyclone

Rain forecast here the next couple of days too, is windy. Hope cyclone stays well clear @Shaz51 and no hail in your neck of the woods @Determined . Mr Darcy did another section of mowing today. I went out for coffee this afternoon with understanding friend. For a pair of grumpy old killjoys we certainly laughed a lot.

@Former-Member, how did you go my friend this afternoon xoxo
