Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Morning @Former-Member everyone else who ws following last night,

Things are quiet here this morning, darling has said she wants to go back to hospital 😞 wants me to contact the doctor. Cant call him until Tuesday. Hopefully getting out and doing this cleaning job will give her a lift.

Thanks @Former-Member thats a work in progress at the moment.

I think the immediate 'danger' if i can call it that has passed, i just need to, the best i can, keep some calm around her to prevent another trigger. Big boys are out until later tonight now so that takes a load off.

Have a significant group assesment early on Tuesday that i have to prepare for, finding it hard to concentrate on that at the moment.

Hi @Former-Member + everyone

My darling came home from her cleaning job looking a little better this afternoon, still very quiet but I was comfortable enough to leave her at home with bub so I could come to Uni. will be checking on her through the afternoon. Have promised her we will get some yard jobs done tomorrow, this has made her a little happier as they have been bothering her.

Hey @Determined

Take care Bro

Darcy

Hi @Former-Member

Darling is doing better tonight. Achieving a few goals today possibly helped. Still quiet though.

I managed to put off Tuesday assesment by 1 week and have a backup plan in place for the student forum i am suppised to be co-chairing on Wednesday so the preassure is off me in a big way, means i can concentrate on supporting as required and getting some jobs done that are creating unnecessary stress. This should in turn see my darling rest a little easier. Still a long road to get over this last episode but looking positive short term. Moment by moment.

How are things for you and mr Darcy. I am aware that you also have concerns. Thoughts are with you even in the midst of what is happening here.

Hello @Former-Member, @Determined, @Former-Member, @Rose96, @Anony18

made a doctors appointment for mr Shaz for next week

he has gone back on his full meds again

The Dietician wants me to cut down on the carbs , and eat more green veges

Hope the appointment goes well @Shaz51, is mr shaz happy to go? Must be hard for both if you trying to sort the meds out.

My darling dosent want to go to group classes anymore, too big a day with the drive added in. Leave at 7am get home 5 - 6pm.

I have been trying to get back into green veg smoothies @Shaz51, find that much easier than trying to eat the amount of greens the doc recommends. Have a nutri ninger, they are great. Tried juicing a while ago but was too much washing afterwards,
