Wifes Birthday.

[sufferer2]

Many thanks for all the wonderful advice given by forum members to help make 'er indoors day special for her.

She was having a bad attack from the Black Dog and didn't want to go out for a meal. First she said she would just love some bread pudding (yes - bread pudding) so I made her a bread pudding, which we both really enjoyed (some left for today).

Then, for our evening meal, she said she really fancied one of my chili con carnies - so I made her one (see photo) and we enjoyed it with a nice bottle of red wine.

So all in all she did enjoy her Birthday and hopefully we can go out for a meal another time.

LLAP to u all, Eric.

Good news Eric, and I hope your wife continues to improve.  You certainly made her day perfect for her

[Billiejean_2]

Well done Eric ! I've had experience of living with someone going through major depression and know how hard it is. Make sure to be good to yourself as well and take little breaks when you can.

What a lovely kind husband you are Eric. As a Bi-polar sufferer myself, I can tell you gestures like yours mean the world. I hope the coming of Spring will help chase away the nasty black dog.

[sufferer2 in reply to Azure_Sky]

Thanks for the kind words Christine. We're heading south in May so maybe this will give her a big boost. LLAP, Eric 😎👍👫

Eric, your are some sort of saint.  Severe depression is one of the hardest things to bear, both for the patient and for the carer.  As a youngster because of various awful things happening in my life I suffered from severe depression and had to have treatment for it.  I have had other illnesses in my life, including cancer which thankfully I completely recovered from and had no recurrence.  Now I have COPD.  Both these illness I have been able to cope with well, but depression - I'd rather have almost any physical illness than that.  My version of Hell.  I do hope your poor wife will not be plagued too much in the future by this awful illness.

Best wishes to you both.

Ann

I'm no saint Ann, my halo has slipped too many times in my life. Thank you for the words of encouragement - lets hope the Good Lord has better things in store for all of us in the future. LLAP, Eric 👍👍👍🙋👌👌👌
