Hello I am @Shaz51 Husband and I have a question ;
On sunday afternoons I feel down and Depressed for some reason
It does not matter if I have had a busy weekend or a lazy weekend , but when sunday afternoon comes -- I am low, depressed and down , can`t get off the lounge .
could it being anxious about starting a new week ??
wondering why ??
If anyone else has feeling or days like that ??

Hello @BlueBells
thank you for your message
How are you today ??
My hubby who has MI is finding the physical workload is getting harder -- we do cleaning and mowing
Financial,is no worries , but it is the customers
One place we work at is getting more and more stressful so I think we might have to cancel that job due to my hubby`s health -- he feel depressed at this certain place , he doesn`t know why
so we have been cutting back to make it more calmer
also we are having a hiccup withhis meds at the moment
How is your business ??

Hi Shaz51, how awful for him to be feeling all those conflicting emotions but at least he is verbalising it to you rather than internalising these thoughts about how he is feeling!!! However, how does one respond when someone says that???? That I do not know!!!!! Although when I don't know what to say I just listen.....well try too!!! Then I put my two cents worth in lol. Was today a better day??? My partner is back working when there is work ....has done four days which is pretty good seeing as he has only been home a fortnight tomorrow. He confided that at the moment he is battling with wondering what he did/ said when psychotic or whether he imagined he did/ said these things!!! I really feel for him as it must be so confusing! I have shielded him from some but not all of what actually happened!!!! Anyway, let's hope we all have a relatively calm but productive rest of the week😀

That is a good point @Attahua
sometimes just listening is hard without talking too much
at least he is verbalising it to you == he doesn`t tell me straight away ,he thinks about it too much before saying something and then he opens up
hope you have a good night sleep and a good day tomorrow
