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 ,

Have 2 @Former-Member both hand me downs and niether of them work, happy to get a new one but my darling dosent want to spend the money. Stretched my luck with a new auto washer when she was preg, used to use a twin tub to save on water.

Do that often @Former-Member, thats why i end up with so many edited posts

Thinking the same about doing the job, it will definatly do her good to achieve somthing as one of the things she is down about is lack of achievement. Just worried about how much it will take out of her when already down. Having someone home makes me a little happier, she would usually be alone but has had a falling out with the dog so wont go now when noone home.

If darling goes cleaning in the morning I am planning to take bub to activities at the church and catch up with our pastor. Hope he wont be too busy, there is someone else from church who is aware who i can possibly call on if necessary. Thats my best option at the moment.

If she wants to go it might do her good @Determined, sometimes I worry about Mr D, he grumps beforehand but is often glad he has attended.

Thinking about you Bro too...

Thinking about you and mr Darcy also @Former-Member, know you dont have it easy either. Sometimes hard to understand why our loved ones are afflicted so, it is hard as a carer, how much harder for those suffering 😞

@Determined will send up a few extra prayers for you and your darling as well as the awesome three.

PS found a couple of things about grief in MI for patient and carer, put links on the 'what's new' tab. Not sure if it would interest you.
