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 ,

@Shaz51, am happily back home now. 🙂 Spent most of the day doing garden related things. A bit of pottering around here, and went out to a native plants display/sale with my sister, followed by lunch together.

Borers got into my lemon tree, before it ever produced any lemons @Shaz51

It suddenly died a few months ago.

So no fruit trees here - unless you count a Lilly Pilly as a fruit tree (or a Carob tree).

Termites (or borers) ate my Almond tree, which was 40 years old. So it's gone too.

Still standing, but dead.

I hope you still have some fruit trees.

@Determined, it always feels like little nibbles at a huge job, but yeah, if I stop and look I can see progress being made. Seems glacially slow, but 'tis progress.
