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.

Yikes ... Mr Darcy not feeling so well. They changed his AP to a one off depot as nil by mouth for a few days. Turns out it is likely having worse side effects on his heart than his original one as told he will be going back on his original meds as they were stopped due to nil by mouth but will be a slow reintroduction over a few days.

Hope not too much information but he is quite anxious and fixated on going to the loo despite not having any solid food for the last 3 days.
