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 ,

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Very true my @maddison about the misuse of prescriptions xx

I kept making doctors appointment and Mr shaz kept on saying no and I would cancel the appointment

I think he was very worried about the over sweating and the itchiness all over that he had something bad and was prolonging it

Then his fighting dreams started and he felt he was heading for a mental breakdown

And he was also thinking people were saying things about him

Made a appointment for the next day and to see a psychologist about it

That night he could not stand it anymore and decided to take a antidepressants to see if it helped

The next morning and since he has been taking the 2 lots again like he did last year

@Shaz51 I am not medical & you are smart, only suggestion an antihistamine from chemist? Chemist might be able to identify itch?

Not my place @Shaz51 - seems like Mr Shaz solved problem himself with increase AD (maybe temporarily? 🤞 Hope he's ok)

Can he work this one out on his own?

No offence at all intended - I hope you get my perspective & I have not said anything to offend - we don't know each! I know!

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Hi @Shaz51 Thanks for asking 🙏 I’m doing okay my friend, not brilliant but okay. Had a very brief chat with my girl over the phone this week which was a surprise given that it lasted about 5 minutes. Was good to hear her voice. She actually gave me a brief rundown on her ECT sessions which she hasn’t done over the past 3 years of receiving them. Under a CTO for them now which she’s not happy about but has accepted it. She is relatively stable, has a roof over her head and food in the fridge. Maybe she’ll allow a visit this year. It still hurts darling friend but I can’t force the issue. I miss her and miss being involved in her life. Will simply continue to live in hope.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Thankyou for replying @Shaz51 Yes!! Love for messages. You are smarter than me at this whole thing -looking after hubby & self care. I'm worried because I know I put too much in. I'm feeling bitterness.. Not very good.. But I will get there. I didn't mean to project. I think you get what I'm saying.
