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.

@Shaz51 if he is ramping up a bit, it might be wise to see pdoc again. Do you think you could get him there? There are bulk billed on line pdoc services for rural patients too which might be an option if he is amenable.

@Former-Member Just checking in - I just read your original post lol - dubious humour guaranteed ... love it 😊

I am feeling giggly today - and have decided to laugh a bit more just because !!

How are you today ? Here is a cuppa earl grey tea for you 🙂

It is with soy milk I hope that’s not a problem ?

@Sophie1

I have learned, if I don't laugh I cry ... taken an old age friend out for the morning, he is as loud as and I noticed his fly is undone ... yikes!

Re: My life partner has Bipolar ii

It's been a relatively quiet week in one respect @Shaz51 but busy in others. Ended on a rough note yesterday - but hey, what's the point in crying? Just need go get on and sort things out.
