Nice! Good on your hubby. Sometimes last minute plans are the best. Avoids pressure and keeps expectations low. I hope you have a fun and relaxed celebration.

Dear @Linmerc
hi, i read your message for the first time this morning. My name is PeppyPatti;
i have very lived experience.
Since joining Sane Forums a little while ago; i've become more aware and forgiving to myself of my own limitations.
It feels like your husband is completely blaming his MI for his behaviour.
like the individuals/ countries behaviour in the world; in that........
Are our families and individuals and countries blaming ourselves and trying to change for climate destruction ?
the world's next generation ; our children will have to have the mammoth job of financial breakdowns and climate change.
Its like what your husband has explained himself all in the excuse of Mental Illness.
compulsions are like wildfire.....do it once and you can't stop .......wildfire.
Without medication; an obsession overtakes you and the immediate ' bad choice, ' can choose to make you feel so good.
No one knows how much his conpulsions were triggered.
but let me also write; why did my husband's compulsions were put down before they got out of control like your husbands did ?
It's is a cop out...
One of the only times the insanity plea has worked is for a woman in Western Australia who murdered someone by being very naughty and I can't write anyomore but he sure passed away.
My husband @LittleBuddha met her in hospital ( Quite a nice lady)

Hi,
Had another thought about this week's question. Workcover have been promoting mentally healthy work places. If you check out online you will find information and a publication by The Australian Human Rights Commission.
Cheers.
