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 ,

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Oh no @Shaz51 ... Such a worry for you. I guess with Mr Shaz asleep and medicated, you are unable to get to the hospital? Any news as to whether Mum has done any serious damage in her fall?

Lots of calm controlled breathing Shaz ... you are doing everything you possibly can. Nobody could do more than that.

Take each day, each hour, as it comes.

I was called and we were there for mum at home waiting for the ambulance

And then at the hospital, no more we can do now so we came home --- I had lots of tears

Mr shaz went straight to bed , so glad he was supportive until he could no more

Soo have my phone on in case the hospital rings @Former-Member , @Former-Member

Thinking of you tonight.
Is there anything that particularly triggered tonight's change in mood? Not that there always is but sometimes it's reassuring to recognise.
Tomorrow is a new day.
Good night all
