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.

Ok here @Former-Member
Worked a late shift tonight. Didn't get home until 8:30. 😴
At least it was only a short one (3 hrs)

Not sleeping at all well at the moment @Former-Member and it is starting to catch up with me...
App with the gp next week. Not sure what she will be able to do but will ask anyway.

@Determined
Being sleep deprived = 😬
Hope you can get a few days decent sleep, I don't think crashing after a few sleepless nights gives the same feeling of being rested.
