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 ,

You had already applied for DSP,-- not for a few years @Faith-and-Hope was rejected last time xx

It might be carer’s burnout, could be @Faith-and-Hope , my uncle`s daughter , my cousin is reallly worried about me xxx

@Shaz51, if you try for DSP again, be warned that the process has changed. It might be worth asking your local health service if they've got a disability advocate among their employees, or someone else who knows the ins and outs, and can provide support to you.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Thanks @Determined ...., it’s someone to walk along with me. Under other conditions there would be support systems wrapped around our family by now, and treatments in place .....
