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 ,

Oh no, sorry to hear Mr Shaz's shoulder injury has regressed into a frozen shoulder. I was hoping early physio intervention may have prevented that from happening. As I have mentioned before, I had exactly the same several years ago. It was agonising, so he has my sympathy. I had an injection into the joint which worked a treat. Gave me enough movement to undertake extensive physio.

I see you have posted on uour other thread about your mum @Shaz51 so I will respond there about that.

So how are you anyway? I hope the ab's for the kidney infection have helped.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

@Shaz51, we went through a lot of this with my parents. Mum cancelling or refusing to engage outside help, specialists wanting our backup... in some ways being far away from their place meant that we couldn't be called in at short notice, but in other ways it was so hard being too far away to intervene, or even keep informed.

Is hard. Thinking of you. 😞

Hi @Shaz51

This is your second Mum feeling really concerned for you

I really feel badly that your Mum expects so much from you - I seriously feel that she has forgotten your own health is sus and having her just cancel her services shows that - and then the physio wants to know if you will be there

It seems to me as if you are the one everyone wants to answer the questions and do the chores and be Mrs Fixit - I really once again encourage to be firm with your mother that you can't do everything esp if she cancels the services she has

And I know these services can if iffy - but things get done even if they are not done to perfection

I really feel for you - and for Mr Shaz with frozen shoulders - that's painful - and to me it seems he might be feeling left out - I know this is really hard

Sending hugs to my little family - and Poor Little Kidney - he really does need to be cared for - I take it the antibiotics you are taking are to help Little Kidney along

It's an over-load Shaz - and I know - so hard to say know

Hi Mum - I need attention too - awwwwDec
