Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Hope you have. I am going doze off soon....can feel it

Hi @Anony18

How are you this morning? I did manage to doze off after our chat, thanks for that. Didn't even hear bub which is unusual, my darling got up to him for a change.

Always a pleasure @Determined and hope today goes well for you. I can't say I got much sleep myself but possibly slightly more than you. Woke up with this feeling of slight anxiousness. Not sure why. Stress from things need get done today or maybe paranoid that I been ask get police clearance but didn't get thus job. They didn't say I got it and trying tell myself not get my hopes up to only gave it crashing down but it's proving difficult 😔

Not somthing I have heard of @Former-Member, will have to look it up.

When do you find out about the job @Anony18, getting police checks seems to indicate at the very least on a short list. Fingers crossed for you and all the best.

Recon i got an hour or two sleep after talking to you, not much more than that. Going to be a long day. Have a group assesment meeting this ave 1 until 7pm.

In my interview they said they get back to me by next week or even week after. So was surprise they spoke to me yesterday. I tried get it out of them by asking once get a police clearance what next. Nothing divulged. Think doesn't help I read an email with my interview details that said I be expected get a certificate if I was successful for the role.

Oh that sounds like a long day! Good luck!!!

Thanks so much @Former-Member and @Faith-and-Hope,

This may sound stupid but I am not sure what help I need or can get! I think in the initial stages after my husband's suicide attempt (January) everything was so focussed on him and the immediate issues and it is only now as time drags on and he is still struggling that I realise I am running out of energy. Being unable to talk to him about any of it is the hardest I guess - especially the fear that things are never going to improve. you are right about the loneliness. Easy to stay busy - harder to stay positive!

Any tips on what you guys do to help yourselves would be very much appreciated!
