I have a partner who was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder and manic depression. It seems to have gotten worse since we met. We have been together for almost 5 years and have a 9mo baby. Some days, I just feel like it’s not fair that we have to live with someone who is so negative, easily frustrated and hard to predict. I love him so much, but I just struggle to “deal” with it. This pandemic is hard on everyone, but I believe it is especially hard on him. He is a good man and I believe that counseling and medication will help him a lot. I have seen him work hard on these things before and find a lot of patience and ease. I guess I am just wondering if anyone else loves someone with these struggles and how you deal with it. He has never harmed me or my son, but in a way it does fee like we are affected by his moods more than we should be. My worry is that we will sink into an unhealthy state alongside him and I won’t be able to know what is normal or healthy anymore.
