Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Happy birthday @Rose96, trust you have a lovely day tomorrow.
Thank you for your kind words, yes it is good to be able to discuss our worries here, I still feel bad for dumping on everyone though. Love my darling and am so thankful that our family is still together even if it us hard some days .

Will do my best to smile @Former-Member, at least for the photo anyway 🙂

So much for surviving. Have just gone into a sudden panic 😔

Happy birthday @Rose96, have a lovely day tomorrow. xx

Thanks @Former-Member 💕

So many thoughts and all emotions have just rushed through. Playing moments from when we last spoke to now. Thinking if anything I said or done that could indicate why he is behaving this way - Nothing I can think of. Thinking of past him even when he was low which concludes he is acting more out of ordinary leading me to panic something is wrong....really wrong. Worrying about what future me may have to do, forcing him to see me and talk to me, which I hope and pray doesn't come to that.

How has your night been anyway?

Happy to share @Former-Member

He has anxiety, mainly social anxiety and mid last year he said he felt he had depression so he went see someone about it. Don't think his MI is helped by his family. Since his dad passed away 4.5 yrs suddenly he is main carer for his family. His younger brother gave a lot of problems - has PTSD and depression. His mum undiagnosed depression he believes and she has skin cancer but not the serious kind so he takes her hospital and I am aware has health issues like weight etc that he does everything around the house. From the sounds of it. In addition since grandma passed away a year ago he been dealing with sorting the will and his extended family has not been playing nice. So a whole lot of added stress.

My partner doesn't talk to me much about his MI. He is quite hush about it, think really embarrassed. I do ask if he is ok and if things at home are ok. I know his home life is what impacts him the most.
