unsure what to do ??

not sure what to do ????? My Husband has G.A.D , we have a small Mowing and Cleaning Business that we run, now and then everything builds up and we take a weekend off to relax but last week my husband took himself to hospital with an Major depressive Episode which they kept him in for a week , now we are back home with medication and awaiting mental health plan to get him back on his feet -- I have kidney disease stage 4 and can not drive ,so there is no income coming in -- today my husband said he feels like he doesn't and can`t work anymore -- the specialist said to ease back into work , any suggestions and advice will be great , just remembered the specialist gave my husband a Centrelink form -- 3 months sickness allowance to put in ?? but my husband is worried that we wont have any customers if we put the form in , at the end of 3 months but then today he doesn`t think he wants to work anymore Thank you

Hi @Shaz51

It is better to take things slower ... dont worry about an all or nothing approach.

Hello @Appleblossom, @blithe, @CherryBomb, @PeppiPatty, @Artaud, @Former-Member, @Determined, @Faith-and-Hope, @Owlunar, @Former-Member

Hello everyone xx

not sure what to do ?? we saw the Doctor for my hubby who has MI

the doctor said the meds are only used for short term and so he took a blood test to see how everything is

so Hubby decided to go off his meds ,it has only been one week on half his meds and he had a bad day yesterday

he said today he has to go back on the meds or he will be in hospital if he doesn`t , so If we see the specialist hewill say to stop work altogether , he has a sickness certificate at the hospital , he does not want o go back into hospital because he know what they are going to say -- stop work

so we see the doctor again next week

@Shaz51 sounds like you're in a between a rock and a hard place. If hubby stops taking his meds, does he follow up plans to help ease with transition?

This is definitely not your fault @Shaz51

The only thing you have done is care and love your husband - ain't nothing wrong with that!

Not your fault at all @Shaz51
Loving your husband through his health struggles is the most precious gift you have given him.
