Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

good morning my wonderful friends @Determined, @JoJo99, @soul, @Former-Member,

we are ok , we are home

we had a talk last night late about it, the changes we can do and the changes we can`t change

see hubby hates changes , and he did not want to go to hospital

me -- I am ok , it is great having my forum family xoxo

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

I get not wanting to go to the hospital @Shaz51, especially when it is far away 😞
Trusting you can get through this without that being necessary.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

@Shaz51
No one wants to go to hospital esp to a psych ward. Don't be afraid to ask if he has a plan, remain on alert, has there been change of mood, trouble thinking, change in behaviour, sleeping eating isolating himself - has he stopped shaving, bathing? Your forum posts might be your diary, write it down.

Shaz, you might feel your shazzle dazzle losing some sparkle, don't neglect yourself, keep talking, we are here, YOU are important, YOU matter and you are one extraordinary person. Keep those fluids up, eat healthy, you need the nourishment for your body.

We are here for YOU.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Hey @Shaz51 - what @Determined and @Former-Member said x 1 from me too.

Happy that things are okay for now.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

YOU are important and extraordinary too @Determined ... sending love your way too.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Not forgetting @Faith-and-Hope and next psych appt.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

@Shaz51 I kept checking to see if I had any notifications from you last night. We are here for you Heart

Have got a big headache this morning

we did one job this morning -- a 2 hour job , rest of the day off , hubby said he is ok but he looks like he wants to do nothing

I mind is saying "why Me " and my mind replies back saying " why not You "

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

@Shaz51

Not surprised by headache, it can be a very stressful and difficult time when our loved ones are not travelling so well, you have your own health issues to deal with too.

I can only send you a virtual casserole, I can pray, I can remind you to check on safety, there are some things we can easily forget (like hiding your headache meds - leave a max of 6 in the available pack) would love to do more is there anything else I can do for you online?
