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 ,

Hello and hugs @Former-Member

mr shaz is seeing the doctor again this week -- 3 weeks in a row

he has had 3 phone calls from mental health and are going to work out a plan with the doctor

but mr shaz said that the team is thinking no plan !!

mr shaz is doing what he wants , not following what the doctor wants him to do , wants him to go o his original meds amounts again but he is not

his anxiety is increasing when i am not around , tuesdays are the worse like today

he believes that i will need to be his carer soon

soo will be interesting on thursday appt when he will say yes to whatever the doctor says

sending you lots of hugs for you , mr darcy

and how is your mum xxx

Hello @Emelia8 , @Former-Member , @Smc

The doctor yesterday is saying that Mr shaz is more depressed than having anxiety

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Okay @Shaz51 ... thats interesting. Has Mr Shaz agreed to go on any medication or have any other talk therapy or something to help with that? What was suggested, and what has Mr Shaz agreed to, if anything?

Interesting @Emelia8 , @Former-Member

He does not believe the doctor as he has both

We have someone to see but Mr shaz said it is a waste of time

One we saw said could try this or that and I don't know what you have

Guinea pig , no way says he

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

It can be a tricky differentiating between normal grief related to a specific event which is ongoing (loss of house and demolishing/ rebuilding) and depression @Shaz51 .
