Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness
ammm me , lots of different feelings @Former-Member
tired, trying to learn how to listen to my body more , aching
confusing sometimes to get things under control
different instructions from family , -- I should do this , I should do that, need to slow down , hubby wants to do less / then he wants to do more
tired of gps and specialists , not too bad but hubby thinks we are missing out on work
but then today we worked this morning and mr shaz wanted to work this afternoon , got home at 1pm and had the afternoon off

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness
Feeling your pain there @Shaz51
On every one of our holidays my Darling has wanted to turn around and head home before we even reach our destination.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness
I have done some crazy big days driving to get my darling home sooner @Shaz51
Biggest was over 18 hours towing a caravan. (most of which she slept for).
But I do it because it makes a difference and she does appreciate me accommodating her anxiety in circumstances like that, even if some times it is a delayed expression of appreciation so not complaining. it can be frustrating though 😞
I really feel for my darling when she cant relax while we are away. And usually when we get back she cant remember the anxiety only the good time we had so it is worth going away.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness
I am hoping that by limiting our next holiday to 4 days it will make a difference @Shaz51 @Determined.
