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 ,

That has been a busy weekend @Shaz51 .

Mum not feeling so well = 😬.

When we are worried, being angry can be a "go to" emotion, I don't like being short tempered either and thankfully am over my grumps. Realised the underlying cause was worry about house sale not being unconditional as yet.

Good morning lovely @Shaz51 and waves to @Former-Member @Owlunar @outlander

Well Shaz, it sounds like your usual overly busy weekend! Dont know how you do it to be honest.

I hope the wedding on Saturday was a joyous affair and perhaps providing a bit of light from all the other tasks you attend to. Short tempered? Stress will do that, makes you uptight and feeling like a tightly wound spring. Can I gently suggest that you try really hard to allocate a little more time to yourself, at least every other day, and do something relaxing or enjoyable. Whether that is just giving yourself permission to sleep in, to take time out to sit and enjoy a nice cuppa on your own or with loved ones, or having a nice hot bath or long luxurious shower? Not good that your Mum was not feeling so well yesterday morning, but encouraging that she was a little better last night. In general, it sounds like an upwards trend overall? Did I read somewhere last week (I think) that the services your Mum was receiving at home have now been cancelled? Why?

Hi @Shaz51

You've had a busy weekend and most of it was good - I have to read back on your posts but I thought I would drop a fast thought before I get on with my day

Some Vit c helps with sore throats etc - possibly because we can suck or chew them - I wish you the best and hope you feel better today

@Shaz51, big weekend like that, maybe you're more tired than you realise, and that's amplified something in the background? Is hard not being able to pin down why you feel a particular way.

the wedding was lovely but long time inbetween niblings and the main course and i think I may of drank too much while talking and explaining to mr shaz who they all were .
