Thanks @Former-Member, @NikNik xx

Nice to hear Mr Shaz getting back into photography, huge step, I am going to look postive at the moment but I am a bit concern as hubby has been cutting his meds by half and today he said he is going to go off his meds

I can see the differences already but  I have told him what I was worried about but  he is not listening at all so I am trying to stay postive and hoping that it is not going to go downhill @NikNik

not sure what to do but wait and see

Wow @Shaz51

Mr Shaz is getting back into poetry - I am glad to hear this and I hope it works for him and the collateral spin-off is good for you too - but

Cutting his medication does not seem like a good idea to me - and he feels better - yes of course he does - it always feels good when people cut back on their medication - at the beginning - but you can tell the difference already and this is a bit scary for you - I am sure he has done this before

But then - he does this sort of thing and all you can do is wait and see what happens

Aw Shaz - how many shoes have fallen already that you are waiting for the next one? Are you waiting for the next one or are you used to this and just wiating, and thinking, and wishing and praying etc

Lots of hugs Shaz

Mr Shaz is getting back into Photography @Owlunar, which is good , I hope he does , it is his only real hobby he has --

Cutting his medication does not seem like a good idea to me - and he feels better - yes , he said this morning that he is feeling like he felt before going on the meds , so today he has totally cut out his anti anxiety meds altogether

he is staying awake longer , finding it harder to fall asleep straight away and waking up early in the morning and can`t go back to sleep and that was on half of his meds -- today he is totally going off them completly

Are you waiting for the next one or are you used to this and just wiating, and thinking, and wishing and praying etc ---- good point @Owlunar and praying that this time will be different  @Former-Member, @Faith-and-Hope, @Determined, @soul, @Former-Member, @Blueberry, @Anony18, @NikNik, @Former-Member, @Former-Member, @CherryBomb, @Appleblossom, @Rose96, @JoJo99

Hi @Shaz51,

What a beautiful soul you are. Your husband is a very lucky man.

All you can do is support him, in his Selfcare decisions.... It's his body, his mind.

Only when he asks you for your opinion you can tell him that you love him dearly and you are sure he isn't going to like your opion, but.... As carers we all know what predicament you're in. 

I hope you have a good support Network set up. Better still, I hope your beloved's journey is going to be a smooth one for both of you. I'm looking forward seeing some of his photo's?

Take heaps of care of yourself ShazzaBazzaxx
