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 @Sophie1

How are you bearing up?

How did birthday celebrations go?

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

Thx @Former-Member birthday party we hosted went super well - good old roast chicken and veg !! A bit of fancy dress (70s glam rock) and music to match and much silliness - just what the doctor ordered !!!... MsS even stayed awake unti 11.45 when the guests went home 😊👍 this hasn’t happened in years so a big improvement in socialising and wakefulness ... lovely not to have the burden of hosting on my own which was usually the case for many years ... so party great .. but headache migraines still weigh heavily on MsS more days than not ... waiting for next treatment
