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 @Shaz51 that does sound hard. Can you get away for a little while. Outside with the birds and trees, a cup of tea/coffee?

Hearing your weary post. 💜💕💜☕️☕️☕️

While things are ok. for us at the moment in this area I feel your pain.

This has been an area of anxiety for darling over the years no matter how irrational her thoughts were

I have often felt as thought I was being made to choose between family and darling (both sides as bad as each other).

Trust this passes quickly for you.
