The two electron wave functions of $H^-$ occupy half-spherical domains (depicted in red and blue) and meet at a plane with a homogeneous Neumann condition satisfied on both sides.

New Quantum Mechanics 14: $H^-$ Ion
Below are results for the $H^-$ ion with two electrons and a proton. The ground state energy comes out as -0.514, slightly below the energy -0.5 of $H$, which means that $H$ is slightly electro-negative and thus by acquiring an electron into $H^-$ may react with $H^+$ to form $H2$ (with ground state energy -1.17), as one possible route to formation of $H2$. Another route is covered in this post with two H atoms being attracted to form a covalent bond.
