My life partner has Bipolar ii

This article reminded me of how Mr Darcy may feel things are no longer doable (or indeed may not be doable) post diagnosis and I need to give him the space to make the appropriate adjustments that will help keep him stable.

interesting @Former-Member

There are some things Mr Darcy liked and was good at doing pre crisis @Shaz51 which do not seem to hold any present interest. Still learning how best to encourage him.

Still learning how best to encourage him., same here @Former-Member

mr shaz has come a long way over the last 13 years that i have known him , which is great But still having a lot of ups and downs -- sometimes it feels like we ar going backwards xx

@Shaz51 , if it ain't one thing it's another ... I know at times it feels as though we can't win.

@Former-Member

if it ain't one thing it's another ... I know at times it feels as though we can't win.-- ohhh @Former-Member it seems that way

Trying to ensure I keep those self care things happening @Shaz51 as well as keeping my eye out for things that will give Mr Darcy something to look forward to as well.

yes totally true @Former-Member

I watered mum`s gardens and pot plants this morning -- it was sooo nice , think i did all for 2 hours and listening to the birds in the trees , it was soo relaxing and then cleaned mum`s house

we had the afternoon offf --- aaaaaaa

@Shaz51

Spending time in nature = 😀🌸🌳👍. According to this article it has been proven to lower stress.
