Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness
Feel for you @Shaz51 do you feel like you are between a rock and a hard place? Tough for you with Mum in hospital too.
If it was up to Mr D I doubt he would be on DSP, he did get forms once but did not follow up. I ended up getting most of the palerwork sorted when Mr D was in hospital so had help from the c'link officer that visited MH ward on a regular basis. I really don't think he could have done it on his own at the time.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness
Yes it does feel that way @Former-Member, I am thinking of you and Mr @Former-Member as I write this
Yes Mr shaz can not handle centre link at all , I fell he has had enough but he is torn , he hates making decisions
We had a talk last night as he is coming out of the low but I feel it will raise its head again
We have a 60 th birthday dinner to go too tonight for my cousin
D1 has flown back here for the weekend for a wedding and her partners birthday
I have an appt with diabetes educator, doctor and dentist next week
Not sure how long mum will be in hospital , one day at a time xx

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness
That doesn't sound good @Shaz51
I am sure you already realise that if he gives up the business he will be anxious about that too
It seems to me that he is getting worse - but what do you think and feel about this
When you say he doesn't want to keep going - is this a temporary thing or more of the same old Mr Shaz with life getting too hard for him
And your Mum is still in hospital too - I guess you will be busy with her when she comes home too
This is a difficult time for you and your health too - would giving up your business be a good idea?
Dec - your spare Mum

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness
Hello my second mum @Owlunar xx
You know my Mr shaz sooo well , he will be anxious in whatever we do which makes it harder to decide what to do
Yes I feel he is getting worse and one minute he wants to get help and then he doesn't
The old Mr shaz appearing, I have suggested a solution and am encouraging him to spend time doing his hobby
Dinner party was lovely last night , even though everyone asked me how my mum was
Today we are off to see D1 who has flown home for the weekend
Hello @Former-Member, @Determined, @outlander, @Faith-and-Hope, @Mazarita

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness
Hi @Shaz51
I really hope Mr Shaz can get interested in his hobby which I seem to remember is photography - I took a lot of photos in the past - I can see something fantastic but I am not at all artistic and so photographs are a great way to do it
I need a new camera with apps - I am thinking of getting on of them before I go to Queensland - I want a selfie of myself standing right at the tip of Australia and my phone is not quite what I want in a camera
It's great you had a dinner party last night - yes - of course everyone is going to ask how your mother is but I guess that takes the edge off the fun because you remember what's happening when you need a little time off.
All the best for a great weekend with D1 and I know you feel Mr Shaz is getting worse - hopefully seeing his daughter will give him a lift
Sending hugs from your second Mum - Dec
