Hey all hope we're well, I am on annual leave this week and so is oh and what a struggle it has been, I discovered last night he has stopped his medication from last week so this explains his mood to me very very low, he is struggling to find positives in anything he was out doing the garden 5 or 6 neighbours spoke to him just general chat and one didn't he is totally focused on the one who didn't, I am trying to say the majority spoke you had nobody say anything untoward, and you felt safe doing the garden!!! Media exposure leaves you so vulnerable but I honestly believe it's in our heads, he can no longer focus on the negatives he needs to learn to be grateful for the positives, I remember the weekend of media exposure fearing I would never leave our house again or have to move and it was nothing like that, nothing untoward happened except keyboard warriors, I have asked him to make an extra appt with his psychologist he sees her currently once per month now but he says he will wait until he is due to go as its expensive, I don't care about the money I feel it's important to reach out as and when required and talk at the right time when things are raw there more real.

Not really sure of the point of my post but life seems to continue to be a struggle at times and what happens if I run out of strength, I am very much my glass is half full person but he is for sure a half empty man, can he change

We went out yesterday and had a good chat we have a joint appointment with his psychologist next week, I think she can explain both our frustrations better, my oh had a large following on social media due to his hobby, since conviction spent he has joined Instagram again trying to get back into his hobby but he isn't getting the reactions he wants on it and doesn't seem to want to just be happy with the fact he is getting no nasty comments, psychologist says because of his childhood he has a need to be liked, this is draining all the time trying to bolster him I want him to be grateful for what he has a family that stood by him, good friends that stood by him a new job promotion within 6 months and earning more money now than he ever has, yes the occasional person doesn't speak to him but that's life you can't be everyone's cup of tea, to some I may sound harsh but it's just how i feel just now and I should be allowed to feel this way, I want to scream at him get a grip you could have lost everything
