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.

Answering over here @Determined

Mr Darcy finding it all a struggle. Lots of anxiety and night time crying, he is ready to go into hiding as it appears it is likely he might lose his hair, he has not felt treatment so far has afforded him any quality of life. I do not know how long he will mentally be able to cope with treatment.

I still believe we can and should live as well as possible for whatever time we have left together.
