Re: My life partner has Bipolar ii

Thanks @Determined  

 

Not sure if Mr Darcy rapid cycling or just having withdrawal symptoms. After an anxious week he is back to being more settled and raring to go wanting to get things done in garden.

 

I do have some nagging concerns  but despite this I really am coping heaps better than before, probably down to a combination of factors.

 

On my side I have been seeing a counselor and have had been able to lay down some burdens.  On Mr D's side he appears to have no desire to go AWOL or worse and is doing all the 'right things' to maintain wellness.

Re: My life partner has Bipolar ii

Hello @Former-Member
Just checking in. Ive noticed youve been a little quiet. Is everything ok?

Re: My life partner has Bipolar ii

Busy & tired @outlander . Mr Darcy having some rough nights which involve whimpering, agitation and tossing till well into the early hours. Fortunately a break last night and he slept well.  During the day he is on the go and keen to get some garden jobs done, creating a bit of havoc out there if left to his own devices - he can't tell a weed from a plant - bless his heart - he does want the place to look nice.

Morning @Former-Member
You do sound worn out. I hope Mr darcy settles soon so you can both get regular better sleep.
Aww hes trying even if he cant tell the difference. I bet its good for you to be out in the garden too.

Thinking of you too @Shaz51

Re: My life partner has Bipolar ii

Physically tired but not too bad emotionally @Shaz51   @outlander looking forward to a few days break next week. 

Re: My life partner has Bipolar ii

A few days break sounds very good. Time to regenerate abit @Former-Member

Re: My life partner has Bipolar ii

The biggest risks for Mr Darcy with thd present med change are psychosis or major  depression   @Shaz51   @Determined .  So far mood remaining flat, some anxiety behaviours perhaps increasing;  anxiety can also be a withdrawal symptom.
