I just want to say hi & welcome Neily.
I think most partners/ hubbies feel similar to you, in that they can't talk to their partners & feel that they're losing them. It must be so difficult to deal with it all while you may feel pushed away, but the best thing my hubby did for me was just being there for me & being patient. Even though he didn't understand how I felt, he was always there & was my rock for just doing that. Hang in there, we're here if you need us. x

Welcome Neily Sadly alcohol does tend to make already difficult situations more difficult, it is a depressant anyway so add that to PNI and it's bound to make things harder, as drinking only masks the problem temporarily. Keep talking to us, we're here to listen and if you feel your wife would benefit from some support from others going through it too, feel free to let her know about us aswell PNI is an awful illness but it is beatable too. Having a concerned husband there for us is always a good start, and it looks like she definitely has that Try to keep smiling even though it's hard... Nat x

hello and welcome
I'm sorry things are tough for your wife and consequently for you. Many ladies slef medicate with alcohol but just as wanagetoverthis says the relief is temporary and can lead to other issues.
You mentioned your wife is on meds - do they seem to be helping? Is your wife getting any other support from gp, hv? That often can help too. This illness is dreadful and so hard to deal with for everyone. With support the recovery can be easier.
You are clearly such a kind, considerate man - she is really lucky to have you. Do think of yourself too and try and get a bit of respite just to recharge your batteries

Hi. I am a new member to this site. I'm 26, and have 2 little girls. My eldest is almost 3, and the youngest is 4 months. Suffering with pin after having my second daughter. Have a really good health visitor who's been brilliant with us, but so glad I've found this site, so I can talk to people who are going through this at the moment x

Hello Char
Welcome! I'm sorry you are suffering from this illness. It's hard but things will get better, so pleased you have such a good hv; it can make a huge difference. Do you think life is getting better? Do you have any idea why you have pni? It may sound like a dumb question but sometimes you can tell.
I, a bit like you, I think, got pni after my second child. It was a complete shock on many levels as I was fine after my first.
Anyway, the ladies on here are amazing and you will get lots of support and understanding.
Monica
