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.

the dietician read the notes from the other specialists , so she was able to tell me where to step up for the next 2 months @Former-Member

Quiet day @Shaz51 family phone calls this morning as Mum had acat assessment (can stay a bit longer at home with extra help). Went into town but could not find the things I was after, but picked up a few groceries. Got some diet ginger drinks with ring pull lids, Mr D had trouble opening one and spilt some drink on himself and got all upset.

I reckon the drinks will be gone in record time despite the spill, I suggested he open drink over sink next time @Shaz51.

I think Mr D slowly but steadily heading down again ... 😢. Not at crisis stage but time for me to become acquainted with his new case worker ... alert but not alarmed.
