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 ,

Often a catch 22 @Shaz51

Sometimes one feels better for having gone out, sometimes rest is needed.

Hi @Shaz51

You have had so much happening lately no wonder you feel as if you have totally had it - so would I.

You love your mother and she is such a battler and seems to have little peace medically at this time of her life which we all would like to be a time when we could catch up with ourselves - but one operation for skin cancer and another one coming up - it must be an anxious time for you and hard to focus on the photography session

And Mr Shaz doesn't want to go - it's up to you of course - whether you go or not - I know if I was do tired I would think carefully - you need to be there for your mother atm - and you must be stressed

I hear you

Dec

Sounds like you are glad you made the effort to go out @Shaz51 even though you weren't feeling like it.

@Shaz51 sounds like a very fulfilling organization to be involved with. I am sure I have seen them on tv in the past, that they have been going for some time.:)x
