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 ,

Sounds like it's been a day with a lot of uncertainties @Shaz51

I'm always amazed reading the resilience that everyone in the community has. Everyone has gone through a lot in their own journeys.

Take care of yourself @Shaz51

@Shaz51 do you think your latest med changes could be contributing to your lack of sleep?

Thank goodness they gave you another MH appt for Mr Shaz, did they say why the last one was cancelled?

There seems to be a lack of communication at times. I know Mr Darcy nods his head and says yes even when he does not understand. I usually need to keep on top of his medicals as well as my own @Shaz51
