So miserable

My other half with alcoholic cirrhosis is so lethargic and moody. I’ve tried everything to help. It was my birthday today and I ended up sobbing in the garden because he woke up and said happy birthday. It will probably be the last one I wish you as I’m going to die soon. I’m at my wits end. I suffer depression and have pkd... it’s all getting on top of me.

Hi

I really feel for you, it must be so hard. Has he got H.E. ? Just asking cos you said he was moody. Have you got a close friend or relative who could help you and you could talk with. In here if you need me. You can also pm ne if you want to. Please take care. Love and hugs Lynne xxxx

Hi Beckly

This is so sad for you. ☹️.

There is a help line to be found somewhere on this website. I can’t find it immediately. But you could Go to the Homepage. Select “About” from the top menu. Then you will see a list of Admin. You can from there select say Trust1 and ask for help.

There is bound to be a better/quicker way of doing this which no doubt someone hopefully can post on here about how to find. (I just can’t find how at the moment).

Do please try and ask for help.

Hi Beckly

I've just read your sad situation which I know is extremely heart breaking for you! Firstly may I wish you a belated Happy Birthday which I know doesn't mean that much when your feeling so shite and depressed inside but it does come with lots of Huge Hugs!

I agree with both replies, you need friends around you, even us here are hear to listen openly or privately!,

Pilo's suggestion is a good one, please try and speak with someone at Trust 1 as they can advise .

Please take care of yourself in the meantime and I'll try my best to keep an eye out for any further messages.

Love Trish x

Hi Beckley, I'm so so sorry for your very sad situation. I think he might have HE if he is moody, as Lynne says. I have mild HE, and can get tetchy and sometimes argumentative.

If you want to call the Liver Trust helpline the number is:- 0800 652 7330 - 10am to 2.45pm Monday to Friday I have called them for help in the past, and they are excellent.

I think you should see your GP about your depression, it can be treated, i've been there.

Take Care,

david

Hi Beckley

It must be a very tough time for you.... Have you tried to contact Al Anon?

Al-Anon Family Groups provide support to anyone whose life is, or has been, affected by someone else’s drinking. They have a helpline and also groups that you could attend if you want. Here is the link;

al-anonuk.org.uk/

Also, our helpline is open Monday to Friday 10 am to 14.45 if you would like a chat.

You are not alone.

Warm wishes

Trust1

Hi beckley.....Such a sad situation to be in. Unfortuntaly one of the symptoms of such a horrid illness is the mood change and negativity with it. Its hard but try not to take it personally, i have been in such horrid situations with hubby for a long time now and when he says such hurtful things i just look at him and think thats not my hubby thats the illness talking. sending you loads of hugs, if you need to talk pm me ...

Not what you're looking for?
