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 ,

Mum uses her wheely walker @Shaz51, not happily to start with. She is not happy with some of the assessments. First an OT, then a physio.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Perhaps the right time to have a chat to doc @Shaz51 spell out what you are doing and that when you applied to Centrelink you were knocked back. They may be happy to support a new application.
