Sharing my life with Ms Sophie (Bipolar II)

Sharing my life with Ms Sophie (Bipolar II)

Hi @Former-Member@Determined@Shaz51@outlander@Faith-and-Hope

after reading all of Darcy’s thread of her journey with Mr D I thought I would start a similar thread for my journey with my MsS who also has Bipolar II

it was such a lovely supportive thread and not wanting to be presumptive however I could really do with some companionship on this journey from those who have a deeper understanding and compassion of our unique challenges ... I really saw so much care and support in Darcys thread from you all and would really like to join the discussion for supporting Darcy and also ask when you have time to look in on me - I really don’t have anyone in many circle at work or family or socially who really understands and I super appreciate your time and input

As per Darcy’s thread I plan to share my thoughts and musings about my partnership with Ms S bit by bit as it comes up ... also to setup a place I can come to should the proverbial hit the fan.... which it always does lol

thats all thx for listening ... also please let me know if you have similar regular threads I can follow and provide support for yourselves x Sophie

Hi @Former-Member @Ali11 @outlander @Shaz51 @Determined @smc

Ms S had her injections today - fingers crossed they work ... still waiting for new psychiatrist to confirm if she will take MsS on 🤞

my own hip pain is escalating and the pain specialist will give me a steroid injection next Thursday to ease my pain and a hospital day procedure in July for my neck and hip so I have hope now for my own pain too yay .. I also have some pain mgt meds for meantime so hope they work as pain is wearing me down so much I could cry or scream or curl up

I have told work I’ll be work from home rest of week as the commute hurts my hip too much - hopefully pain meds kick in next week

now I am exhausted and in pain so will go now to bed zzzzz

just a quick update - MsS has appt early June with new psychiatrist yay !!! We haven’t told the old one yet that we are leaving him - MsS is scared to tell him and worried about backlash in form of script cancellations - is that even possible for a psych to cancel scripts once issued ??

Re: Sharing my life with Ms Sophie (Bipolar II)

Woo hoo, trust there will be better communication with this pdoc. I don't think a doctor can cancel a prescription once issued @Sophie1 .

@Sophie1 we did not even contact darlings old doc when she changed. Just moved to the new. Did get a Call eventually asking what we were doing for scripts. Just replied we good thanks and left it at that

Not saying it is the right course of action but it is what we did. Darling finally decided she could not go back after receiving some disgraceful advice mocking our values in the process. I was delighted when she asked me to find someone new.
