I unapologetically care for my husband who after a long mental health crisis has been diagnosed with Bipolar ii + more.
It is a tough gig at times but I believe we can live well in spite of his diagnosis.
I understand that not all relationships can survive a diagnosis and this is no criticism or judgement on anyone but in this thread I would love to give to and receive encouragement from others who hold the same value I have, that is that I voluntarily chose to remain in union with my husband to the exclusion of others and to ride out the bumps of his mental illness.
@Faith-and-Hope I hope you're holding up okay, big hugs xx

@Former-Member an update: the tiredness wasn't just regular tired, it seems it was the start of a nasty dose of adult chicken pox! My poor love can't catch a break it seems!
