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.

More packing today @Shaz51

Went to GP to ensure health summary was in order for move. Ran a few other errands while we were in town. Back home we walked the dog, having a breather now but will start thinking about what needs to be done next.

With an interstate move, I have arranged transfer of care for Mr Darcy. Hoping it will all go smoothly.

@Determined Thanks Bro, all I can do is encourage Mr Darcy to remain in treatment and to seek help if he/we feels there are any changes
