Re: Partners who chose to stay for the long haul
I'm ok I guess...neighter good or bad. Yes nights are worse and my Mr doesn't sleep well. Nightmares and all. This is probably partially the problem during the day. Sleep deprivation can be so harmful. We are waiting for our GP to come back from holidays to get referal to one of the psychiatrists we found and are willing to try. I worry that Mr stopped his meds very abruptly.

Re: Partners who chose to stay for the long haul
@Sasha_86 hello 👋
@Shaz51 perhaps if you end up qualifying for DSP, you might be able to get Mr Shaz the carer payment.
Stopping meds abruptly = 😬
Lack of sleep = 😬
Hopefully new pdoc will work out better for you
@Determined I am feeling like giving up on holidays. All too hard for Mr D.

Re: Partners who chose to stay for the long haul
@Determined I am sure Mr Darcy will settle once we move away from the family. It is so hot here. Poor old Mum trying desperately to show how she can manage at home; she does well with the help she gets, can see a couple of areas where she could benefit from a bit more assistance.
