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.

Hello everyone,

I have always found such love and support in this group. It's always been there whenever I needed it. You are all so amazing with so much knowledge, wise words and care.

Mr Jones took his life on Monday, my best friend is gone and I feel like my hearts been ripped out of my chest. I tried so hard to keep him safe, to help him see but he saw his illness was bigger than anything else.

The pain is so much worse than I would have thought.

Thanks again for your help and support over the last 12 months.

Xxx

Mrs Jones

@Mrsjones my heart is aching for you... There are no words that will ever make it okay and my worry now is you. Are you safe? Do you have support? There's tears in my eyes as I type this, I'm so very sorry my friend 💔

@Mrsjones

This is the time

when lips hide words

behind the desolation;

when only tears

tell truth.

Sending ever so tender thoughts your way.

Mr Darcy back home, there have been tears. I am hoping he will sleep well tonight, but not looking promising after not so good news regarding scan results.

Not sure how the whole psych-cancer thing is going to work, don't know what to say at times.
