Re: My life partner has Bipolar ii
There has been a glimmer of hope today following a multidisciplinary meeting.
Plan on calling Mr D's case worker to ask where I can find quality information regarding mental health and cancer and how I can best support my man.
Yikes Totman, Red is out for me, have chosen to teetotal in support of my beloved as alcohol + Mr D's psych meds = not a good combination.
How has your day been?

Re: My life partner has Bipolar ii
Productive day = 👍
Always good to achieve something.
No judgement here, my choice not to drink alcohol, something I can do when we do often feel helpless.

Re: My life partner has Bipolar ii
Temporarily forgot about the restrictions @Totman sounds like the one-on-one training has been a lifesaver.
Physical activity is one of my 'room for improvement' areas 😁, been donkeys years since I set foot in a gym.

Re: My life partner has Bipolar ii
My one on one training has indeed been a savour @Former-Member
Looking forward to when the restrictions on gyms are relaxed... and learning the new protocols.. but its a new learning curve... all good.
I... have learnt ... for my own benefit.... the use of exercise and endorphins.... has been a great saviour on my part... its what works for me.. and helps me sort aging lol
We all have our love ways of helping ourselves....

Re: My life partner has Bipolar ii
Still in limbo as today's appt rescheduled after we had presented but we press on @Totman . We did get a couple of items crossed off the 'to do' list so that was a bonus.
How has your day been?
