Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness
Aw @Shaz51
I know Mr Shaz has anxiety problems - is he feeling anxious right now or are you?
Perhaps both of you are - no wonder - darn 0_|_]]
Why does he tell you ? - of course you can't answer that. Bugger - how challenging for you.
I'm sorry - you have so much happening right now - and Mr Shaz is not 8 years old - I know he knows you have so much to be concerned about with your mother -
Of course - I wonder - need I ask - is this because he is attention-seeking?
Sorry Shaz

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness
Sheesh @Shaz51
Maybe a little chat with his doctor about his new problem - ASD - Attention Seeking Disorder - I know he has BiPolar2 - DID - MMD etc - but ASD is a sneaky little issue you can do without because all these other issues have been triggered by serious events in his past when he lost control over many things
But Attention Seeking is childish and needs some Tough Love - right now you and your mother are facing end-of-life events and - I am sorry - he can wait
Oh darn - of course you would be having anxiety - you can certainly join in with the best if us - we understand -
It's such a testing time you are facing right now - I understand - offering as much support as I can on-line right now
And I am really glad you are having a few days off soon - you can give Mr Shaz more support then - yes - as cross as I feel about it - I get it - I understand -
Sending hugs

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness
@Shaz51, the psych I see told me that not being able to get to sleep at the beginning of the night indicates anxiety, waking during the night and having trouble getting back to sleep indicates depression.
Not as the only indicators of course. But I have the "waking during the night" hassle too. 😞
