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 ,

We could do with some of your rain down south @Shaz51, bet the twin is pleased the lawns got mowed when they did.

Glad there were some positives at the doc and not all bad news.

Did mum make another appt or is she refusing to see specialist?

Hope you are not adversely affected by cyclone.

Saw Mr Darcy's case worker today. He was all smiles and said things different to what he says to me. 😬

@Former-Member

I can understand where my mum is coming from as she is 87, weighing 38kgs and very tired, weak and frail

and I think the specialist wants to do another surgery on her bowel but she could be in the same place she is in now

ringing them up tomorrow -- will be good if i can talk to the specailist

bet the twin is pleased the lawns got mowed when they did.-- yes but No as we had 2 more lawns to mow and a trimming job

Saw Mr Darcy's case worker today. He was all smiles and said things different to what he says to me. 😬----- ohhhh no

I think it all gets too much @Shaz51 and the risks start outweighing any possible benefit. Having a chat with specialist might be the best thing to do.

Interrupted sleep = 😬

See if mum will be happy to go to specialist next week. Even just to listen to what they have to say.

Is insomnia a possible side effect of new meds @Shaz51?

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

You can always check CMI, but coffee would probably do it too @Shaz51
