Hi @Missy112
Welcome to the forums!
You have come to the right place if you want to talk to other people about your up and down times. I am sure there are plenty of people here who have experienced the same feelings that you may have caring for your husband and who are willing to chat!!!
Hope to hear from you again.

Hi @Missy112
Welcome!
Have you been finding the Forums useful so far?
Sometimes it's helpful to start a new discussion in 'Our Experiences' or 'Something's not right' if you want some feedback or advice on your current situation.
If you have any tips or experience in looking after yourself and self care, discussions on this are always encouraged. You can post about that in 'Looking after ourselves'
Hope you continue to post.

@Missy112 I am a newbie too - just want to encourage you that the "on and off meds" has been fairly typical of what I have observed with my son over 18 years. It's taken me all this time to find people walking a similar journey. Hope you find it comforting being here.
