Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Are you feeling a little more settled @Shaz51 ?

trying too @Former-Member

trying hard not to overthink about things

soo many choises but not sure what to do , ( go with the flow or ???? )

between my shoulders are stiff and aching

my groin is aching

seeing the doctor on monday but not sure why i am going now

@Former-Member, have you heard anymore about you carers talk ??

I know you mentioned your blood pressure a few posts back @Shaz51 if that is of any help.

It is hard to get a balance, having ones head in the sand is not productive either.

Carers counseling session went OK, encouraged to continue with healthy lifestyle changes that we have begun to help keep moving stress to a minimum.

that sounds good @Former-Member

yes my blood pressure was high and i went to the chemist yesterday for a free check up reding and it was good at 130 /78

mr shaz is really in the " we can`t afford it mood at the moment " this afternoon

so i might go and have a shower and sit outside for a while or turn to my bookwork

Sitting outside in the shade reading @Former-Member

Only one thing wrong with this picture ---- the marsh flies -- ouch

I know that mood all too well @Shaz51 although I probably felt it a little more than Mr Darcy - it was my own needs that I neglected when funds were short. I always made sure that Mr Ds needs were taken care of (but he does not have expensive hobbies).

I did did live in a very poor country for a while Shaz so material things are not so important to me and even though we are in a very low income range we are still so very blessed.

We could not afford the needed renovations at our old home which did concern me. I never mentioned it to Mr D as he already has enough guilt as to the impact his MI has had. By downsizing we have a much better house with some capital to spare that we have put aside for necessary but non urgent renovations.

March flies = 😵

We have a baby blue tongue in our yard ... am concerned as to whether it can co exist with the dog. Have moved it out the front but it has reappeared out the back.

Same here @Former-Member

Very low income range here too

And mum and I have always lived on not much

I think we are very blessed

And ha ha just thinking that my father ended up giving me a wedding present weather he wanted too or not after all the rejection

I inherited his house , my childhood home

Ha ha @Former-Member , he likes it out the back

We had one in the bathroom
