Hi. [edited by moderator] I’m 61 and have lived with Bipolar 1 Disorder for 25 years. I am a Social Worker but retired 3 months ago to better manage my mental health. My mental health has taken a huge toll on my wife, and our relationship is almost non existent. She now has severe anxiety and isn’t sleeping. I don’t know what to do to support my wife and improve our relationship. She is a very private person and is very reluctant to acknowledge her issues and seek help.
