General Don't Want To Tempt Fate But......

[amethist]

I wanted to share the good time's with those who are struggling, even though I may be tempting fate.

For the last 10 days or so hubby has been practically symptom free. He has been as near to normal as he could possibly be.

He has been helping around the home, not isolating in the garage while I did it. He has been drinking a lot less and not hiding it in the garage.

He has been to see his dad, who has cancer and not coming home and isolating because it has been depressing him.

He has almost been as good as the day we met and more like the man I married than he has been for a long long time.

This has been the longest time in one go that he has been like this. Which means that I have also been a lot less stressed and anxious.

This may not last for much longer, but every extra day now is a bonus.

That is wonderful for both of you, amethist. Good to hear! :)

Awesome! That is great news to hear, @amethist! Yay!

That is great @amethist. Do you know what is working for him right now so it might be used in the future?

 

[amethist]

Its a combination of things Ayesha.

Alternative therapy {NLP, Nero Linguistic Programming}, medication now being at the correct level and CBT therapy. Plus learning what he can do and what he struggles with. All that as well as knowing that no matter what kind of a state he gets himself into, he can now with support from me get himself back to a level mind.

It has taken almost 7 years to get to this point, but finally we are getting there.

(((Amethist & Hubby))), great to hear.

My Hubby was on the phone to his brother tonight. His brother asked how I was doing and Hubby replied that I was doing great and if not back to where I was, I was almost there.

It was lovely to hear,

That's such great news! I'm really happy you shared it.

Still not tempting fate, but apart from a few rough nights and not so good days, Hubby is still doing well.

He even managed to do a bit of Christmas shopping on his own this year. He is now asking for help again from my daughter, but he did give it a good go until he admitted defeat.

He is in therapy again and so far so good, not got into the heavy stuff just yet, but he says it is helping him.

So very very pleased for you both! :joyful:

 

[amethist]

We have had another 2 weeks of almost being symptom free.

A few dips in the roller coaster but not big ones, or as hubby says, "Just a few ripples on the pond not a tidal wave."

I'm so happy that things are going a bit smoother for you Amethist.
