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 ,

Hey @Determined
Here for you Bro
Have you got an emergency plan in place that you can activate?
If nothing written are you able to concentrate enough to write a list as to how best to tackle things?

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

No emergency plan @Former-Member 😞

Have locked all the meds away and have the key on me, that is the buggest risk at the moment.

Was close to calling an ambulance before but things settled when I put that solution forward. Cant really call the pdoc now untill Tuesday and she wont willingly go to emergency because last time they made a big deal about wasting their time.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

She is asleep now (evening med does that), dont know what to do about tomorrow. She was at the hospital today and spoke to the mh nurse about how things were going, nurse is going to contact pdoc but probably wont be able to get him till next Wednesday. (That solution was acceptable this afternoon). All went downhill fasf after we got home 😟 has z cold that is really knocking her around and i think the full day out was too much for her.

Hope it is not too much talking about this when you are also worried about mr Darcy

All OK to talk @Determined
Is it Friday grandparent school run in morning?
Is there anything you can go tonight that would save stress in morning (ie set table for brekky now, get school lunches ready)

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Thanks @Former-Member

Yes it is grandy day tomorrow, even if it wasnt i could call them in,

Darling has made school lunches, she usually does them the night before, even in the midst of her upset that is something she feels she needs to show her love for them, i offered to give her the night off but she refused. I was probably good for her to focus on. She also put a load of washing through,

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

She has a small cleaning job to do in the morning also, Was reluctant to let her go but she assures me the lady will be home so should be ok. I will have to assess that in the morning if she is even up for it. At the moment there are more positives in letting her go.

Mr Darcy gets cranky too if he feels I am taking over his jobs @Determined. Have you a drier

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Hit post too quick @Determined, if she can go it would be good as we all need to feel as though we contribute and good for self esteem.
