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.

Thanks Bro, we are having a few family and friends visit over a period of a month @Determined. Thinking of taking another few days away, will see how Mr D is going in a couple of weeks after visitors have gone.

Been reading information from Bipolar Australia, very interesting and true

The head of the mental health team rang Mr shaz but he saiď he is ok now

My brain is not working too good this morning, words are all in my head and finding it hard to write it down here

Sending you hugs and to Mr shaz twin ❤❤☕☕

Re: My life partner has Bipolar ii

@Shaz51 you are still in limbo at present which means extra stresses for both of you. Are you able to have some "date nights" or the like so that you and the swashbuckler get some alone time for R&R, not just work, perhaps take photos - did you lose your photography equipment?
