Heya guys!
Kiki it sounds like you and I are living parallel lives! My partner (let's call him Mr Tiggeroo) has just been through diagnosis again as we were not sure his medications were right but alas we are reconfirmed at Bipolar. He had a 2 hour assessment, we paid $500 and got about $390 back from Medicare if that helps! Mr T is also the absolute love of my life, I am so lucky he is usually very open to his treatment, he goes to a clinical psych regularly and takes his meds without being forced by me haha!
Me and Mr T were travelling along fairly well, then in September we fell down a massive hole and it has taken us quite some time to regroup and get back on track, (which is why I have been missing from the forums!) but I'm back woohoo! You will find so many amazing people here on the forums with so much helpful advice and a willingness to share personal experience which really helps you to feel like you are not alone!
I am glad you found us, welcome and I look forward to chatting more in future!
