hi @Former-Member and @Shaz51,

just getting over the flu, still struggling with sleep, but i get a nights sleep every now and again. my partner is going ok, we are trying to excercise every day, it is making us feel better.

wow @Shaz51i justp lanted a golf ball, it is a shrub that grows into a ball and requires no pruning, i can't wait to see what it looks like, but we got two -7 nights, so i hope it does not damage them too much.

oh im so sorry to hear that @Shaz51 yes, i am taking some photos, model boats i just can't do anymore, so im putting my time and effort into gardening and making things.

i hope Mr Shaz gets into his hobby soon.

take care my friends. thank you both for caring

Me too @Jacques, Mr shaz had his infected ingrown toenail removed today xx

hi @Shaz51

i really hope Mr Shaz is resting and taking care of his toe, they can be so painful, i get them sometimes too. hugs my friend, i hope you are well too

Hope you are feeling better soon my friend @Jacques xx

Re: Supporting a partner in a crisis

Hi Shaz51 ,

This Zorro and I need your help. My wife has bi polar and is refusing to taske her meds.

She got herself in a traffic incident a few months ago, she did nothing wrong but she did not stop when the police ordered her to stop.

Now she has to appear in court in a fortnight time, I am trying to get her to understand that she has to be there, but she is not comprehending and worse still not taking her meds. Our doctor has referred her to a psychiatrist as well to help change her meds, but she wont go to that appointment either.

I am caught in a catch 22 situation and there is no way out, if I cant get her to court on the day, she will be arrested and she does not understand this. I am beside myself with fear for that she will be arrested and I dont know how to prevent this from happening.

Mentally now I feel like I am in the process of having a mental breakdown myself, I am definately not coping. How should a carer deal with a situation like this? Shaz51 any ideas I dont know where to begin and I will have a breakdown shorlty myself.

Do I just not worry about it and let the law do what it does, if she refuses to go to court.

Please help any suggestions.
