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 @Krishna

Thank you so much for sharing such incredible news with myself as well as others...

A very surreal experience...

Hang on tight..

I just want to say, savour every moment of the lead up and the day.

I do know how it feels to suddenly hear a voice; let alone share time with someone who we love so dearly and has been absent for so long...

Time cannot be measured..

Sending you warm vibes and feeling so very happy for you

with love

Sophia1 💜

Dear @Shaz51

How are you and Mr Shaz managing with everything that life keeps on throwing up at you?

(that is how I describe my day to day at the moment)

Are you enjoying your garden?

Does Mr Shaz enjoy working in your own garden or does he only want to do gardening when he gets paid for it?

My husband only likes working on his lawn..

love

Sophia1

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Oh @Shaz51 @Sophia1 @Owlunar Our weekend connection has been postponed. My darling husband who has had 4 viruses in 28 years of marriage, came down with a doozy (not Covid) just days before our meet up with my girl. He’s still unwell. Apparently the essence of comedy is timing. I just had to laugh, somewhat hysterically I might add. So now working on another date to see her. Hope it doesn’t take another 3 years 🙂 I’m okay. I’ve learnt a lot about patience over these past years and it will happen when it’s meant to. 🙏❤️

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

That's so disappointing @Krishna

Let's hope it's just one of those hiccups - they happen without warning

I really hope things go well between you and your daughter

All the best with that
