Re: Taking the plunge
Oh Maggie ..... so much heartache for you ..... hugs n hugs ......💜💜💜 ..... some people are unbelievable !! What does it take to hold out a hand ? Okay, if they have issues of their own and are battling, but that's not everybody ......
I have a counsellor I have been seeing, just to have someone I could tell what was going on, even though it wasn't leading to any solutions. At least it was "out there" and. Or just rrapoed inside our home ...... but just dealing with the counsellor I think is enough at the moment, and I don't want to spook WH by making a psychologist apt. He might start feeling ganged-up-on, just by the fact that he knows I am taking about him ...... but I will go back to the psych and give him an update later ...... cry on his shoulder if I am feeling like I need to.
And yes, support of church friends. The hard thing is that everyone can listen, but there is t much more than "I'm sorry this is happening"
that they can say. Just knowing that they care means a lot, as it does here ......

Re: Taking the plunge
@Faith-and-Hope I am lying in bed and realised something that just might gel. Grab a seat, you might need it. It's out there, really out there, and if you want it removed let me know please. Different personalities can have different conditions. Like depression, anorexia. Not every member shares every disorder. My counsellor has told me that not all my personalities are depressed. Also a few months back, someone one the dissociative identity disorder thread asked if its possible that some medications work for some personalities and not others. Makes logical sense to me. Not sure how the medical profession would view it though. I understand why some psychs won't go there. A very mixed bag.
I hope you read this tomorrow, I just had to get it out of my head, or I'd run with it all night. 💗💗

Re: Taking the plunge
That makes perfect sense to me @Maggie.
WH appears to have what is referred to as Anosognosia ..... a complete lack of insight into being unwell in all the different presentations of unwell that we have got going on here, so it's as if one part of his brain is not talking to another.
He can only view my protests about his regimen as "having a go at him". He can't be reasoned with, including / especially litres a day CHSP.

Re: Taking the plunge
You are living/travelling between the your two properties @Faith-and-Hope? Does that work well for you or do you find it stressful/unsettling from normal routine? I hope today is a better one for you. We are here for you x

Re: Taking the plunge
Thank you @Maggie ..... I am feeling so incredibly supported by so many people here, including as you have seen, some who have been walking closely with me for a year or more now, I don't know what I would have done without this ongoing support. It has helped make the difficult waiting for something to change bearable, and now that that change has arrived, supporting my courage to size up to it.
@Former-Member, yes, and that situation comes with its own stresses, but probably no more or no less than the overall situation anyway. If anything, it probably helps to provide more distraction and defuse some of the tensions. It will also enable us to spend time with all of our kids frequently, whereas a full relocation would be both unbearably stressful for me / us right now, it would also create a lot of distance in our relationships with our married kids.
