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 ,

Hi @Shaz51 ... its been a while since I caught up with you.

I note that you've had some concerns about your Mum regarding possible bowel obstruction again. That must have been, and continues to be, very concerning for you. I think you had morning tea with your Mum yesterday ... how was she?

And how about Mr Shaz ... how is he coping with all the changes? At least he must be feeling a little more comfortable knowing that he is not having to work as much as he used to ... now that you are getting the carers pension for your mum.

You are so accurate in what you said on my thread earlier today. If I am unwell ... Mr Emelia also suddenly starts to complain of extra aches and pains and mystery illnesses. Funny that. I guess we are not allowed to be sick?

Anyway Shaz ... I really just wanted you to know that I am listening, caring and feeling for you and your situation right now.

Emelia 💖

When Mr Darcy was battling the side effects of his meds we became intentional about serving sizes and adequate veg/ fibre/ water/ healthy options which resulted in quite a few health benefits - but as you say he has got to want to do this.
