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.

@Sophie1

Finished sewing up a jumper today that I have knitted for one of my nieces daughters. I used to knit a lot but haven't done for ages and thought a small project might get me back into it. I am hoping it will both fit and that she will like it.

Was tempted to do a little more packing today, Mr Darcy reckons I should hold off until sale unconditional or at least until after building inspection Monday. Agent will be here for it and will hopefully will have some idea as to whether it will pass muster in relation to 'subject to' clause.

Apart from that the hound got walked and I have spoken to my Mum and each of my three siblings on the phone today.

How has your day been?
