Mate, you got served a great big steaming shit sandwich. Whatever it takes. But you might think about getting a bit of mental health support for yourself. I cannot even imagine what you are going through.

Whatever gets you through the night.

It's alright.

Today she was allowed 3 hours home visit. I was fucking nervous to bring her home but it was beautiful she was no drama at all today. Seemed happy to see the kids and as usual we all had to get our fingernails cut which is is a good sign she is normalizing. Im still under a bit of presure school starts next week so gotta get them rascals squared away for the new term

Fucking sad after 3 hours visit take her back. Today was fantatic though. The first yime in a month ive felt hope

Niddhog . Thanks for your well wishes .

^ I went through a pretty horrific time in 2009 when my first daughter was in ICU... and I remember one night the owner of the hotel we (parents) were staying in, phoned some big, high class temple in Bangkok and we actually had Monks chanting down the phone.

It did nothing for me to be honest but I know it meant a lot to the wife. My point is, just do whatever it takes BLD, along with a drink if you need it. I know I would.

One thing I would say... you can't see the wood for the trees just now but these things do have a habit of sorting themselves out with time. Keep supporting your wife and doing what you're doing and think to the future... it will be OK in the future.

Just my two penneth worth.

fingers crossed for you all BLD

What Mendy said.

Hang in there mate

As far as I am concerned your missus is quite lucky to have such a strong and dedicated husband and father of her children.

Keep on keeping on mate and you should be quite proud of yourself.

Sounds horrific, hang in there mate. hopefully rear view mirror and all that.

Thanks for all the well wishes . Another thing i noticed had changed was the abscense of this buddha music / chanting that she plays on her phone over and over she says it calms her down. But fuk its irritating , yesterday there was none of that infact she turned on the radio. Last night she messaged me and said can you take me home for a visit again please. Instead of taking me out for lunch.Fantastic , ive told her there will be no visits to the mall, asian grocery etc, just time with us. I hope its the same as yesterday or even better

By the way teakdoors good for my mental health . This morning i found myself laughing out loud reading the irn bru thread and dirks story about the goths getting cans chucked at them but not so much bottling as the bottles were worth 20p

@bld - good to hear that Mrs BLD's condition seems to be improving. I hope she continues on her recovery. I agree with what one poster said that the Buddhist/ religious stuff may not be important to you but they're impt to her, so just put up with it for the meantime.

Re: TD and mental health - yeah, TD has provided some laughs & distraction during some low times in my past. Not the internal bickering, but the general banter.

So TD, keep on keeping on. Btw, where's the gif of those 2 Italian guys?

P.s. @ Bogon - what, there's no Bogon tip #12345? I'm gobsmacked!

I was actually gonna give one, but thought it might have been insensitive given the circimstances. I was gonna refer BLD's inability to provide the noodles the missus requested a few pages back.

Anyhoo, sod it, here goes...

Bogon Tip #694

If you want a long and happy life and to keep you todger in tack, never forgot an Asian ladies request for a specfic food.

Well, it seems my hope that she was turning the corner wasnt quite correct. The 2 days she was allowed to come home for 3 hours were great . Today i brought the kids to check her out ( they waited in the car didnt want them to see mum under lock n key)for a seafood lunch in fremantle which went well . We got 4 hours this time. Seafood was great and we went home where she started up the cleaning thing again.asked her to just relax. The washinng etc can wait . But no. By then we onlu had 1.5 hours before i have to take her back. She spent all that time cleaning.

Actually bogon i told the nurse in her ward that shes lost a lot of weight in the last couple of months. The nurse said shes put on 5kg in 12 days being there .she told them im eating for 2. We know thats nonsense. Shes not pregnant.

She keeps insisting on buying lotto tickets but she needs to use specific numbers on saturday she spent $250 on lotto. All the same numbers. She doesnt know that if the first ticket doesnt win using those numbers neither will the other tickets. She tried again today. Saying im a buddhist put them in our oldest sons name this time i was onto it and the lotto outlet guy the situation and please dont take $250 un neccessarily.

She desperately wants to come home. but if its gonna be more of the same she should stay longer. Anyway its not even my decision now. She is an involuntary patient. Will talk to her doc tomorrow the nurse told me he is scheduled to see her. No idea what time so i will take a day off. One thing the nurse told me today was her doctor is the best in the business and she/ me got lucky in the health system

At least some good news.

Considering the demand on, and the resources of the local mental health care ‘service’ if you’ve luckily got a doctor and that doctor is the best one then you’re winning bigtime BLD.
And you’re doing a great job that’s attracted that good fortune.
Plus going to work and keeping all that together is the sign of a hard man.

Nevertheless you are likely and rightly going to tear at the curtains of shock and horror while screaming ‘why me ? - I’ve always tried to do good’. And curling up on the floor occasionally can be grounding and comforting.
(never got to the blubbering thumb-sucking stage meself but hey if it does the job then bring it on)
Drunk / othered is a completely rational response and treatment for what ails ya, and is perfectly acceptable as long as you don’t overdo it and certainly keep it away from the kids as much as possible of course.

The old hands who’ve gone through their own sagas and come out the other side to live on are all wishing good power to you.

The absolute worst time of my life.but it must be so much worse for her, the confusion
She just called then. Honey can i come home tomorrow .your doctors visiting so the answer is no because i dont know what time he come. She hung up
