Yeah, no one wants to SAY they are mentally ill but acknowledging the problem is so much better than denying. If it is any consolation, I have ocd issues and over think things on a regular basis. The older I have become, the more I have learned to let things go and give it over to God if it is completely out of my control. Had to practice this quite a lot in the last year, not being able to be with my daughter and Samuel. Can't wait to be able to move- I feel like every day not being near him is a day lost and it can bring me to my knees mentally in about half a second.momsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06024336785725463504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602523608819200851.post-58607316715195784662012-05-08T14:43:37.589-07:002012-05-08T14:43:37.589-07:00I totally agree about the older generations in my ...I totally agree about the older generations in my family. I mean, even now I hate thinking of myself as having a mental illness...I'd rather just say I have "issues". I guess we all like to see things in a better light than they actually might be in. My husband says he just sees me "as me". This is the only way he has ever known me and he has learned to live with me and accept me how I am. Guess I am really lucky! Thanks for commenting! Makes me happy!

Is he the kind of guy who doesn't like to label this stuff or does he just not like to think of his wife as such? Forcing yourself to say your spouse is mentally ill is probably really hard for some people. As for your family, those are older generations and it probably wasn't as ok then as it is now to label yourself as having a mental illness.momsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06024336785725463504noreply@blogger.com
