My life partner has Bipolar ii

My life partner has Bipolar ii

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.

Dubious humour is guaranteed.

Ultrasound was not done till very late in the day @Shaz51 so will not get results till tomorrow and hopefully am idea of how long he needs to be there. Mr Darcy is not happy about needing to be in hospital and is bored, but does not want me to bring anything in.

Have been a blubbering mess this morning. Thinking of too many "what if's" in relation to potential diagnoses for Mr Darcy.
