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.

Mr Darcy in bed early, howling away, does not feel well. Feeling overwhelmed after a busy week.

Thinking of you and Mr Darcy with increased stress levels at the moment. Pray that all goes well and Mr D especially can find some peace through this process. I am painfully aware of how stressful the moving process can be at the best of times.
