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 ,

Sorry to hear you are doing it tough at the moment @Former-Member!

I hope you find the right balance of medication to look after both your physical and mental health.

I am determined to get there though.


^Great to hear! Concentrating on the basics for now sounds like an excellent plan.

Take care,

I am drooling - I love chocolates and they look fantastic -

Thanks for sharing - I guess I will be given chockies for Christmas - but rarely do I actually see such yummy ones

[mmmmmmm -making more eating smooth, rich wonderful chocolate sounds and trying not to talk at the same time]

That sounds so hard to be told that your pre-diabetes is because of your kidney disease but not given any idea of what to do about it - it sound like getting a dietician is a good idea - but finding one when you live out of town and away from the infra-structure sounds really tough

And oh golly - who said it? ah @Former-Member - I had not considered chromium as a trace element we would need - I have tried to read the tiny print on food labels and supplement labels - ah - I have catarats starting and and I can't see through them alas - so I will have to look that up too

With chemicals like that - we need just a little trace - but it's an important little trace

Thanks for sharing
