How can I avoid being my bipolar partner's permanent caregiver?

If you are in a relationship with someone who has bipolar disorder, there will be times when you absolutely must be a caretaker. Your goal is to see that this is a temporary accommodation and not a permanent role that you have to fill for the remainder of your relationship. Start taking care of yourself more and your partner less, so that they can learn to take care of themselves.

If you're not sure how to break out of your current role, find a therapist or a self-help group that specializes in helping caretakers find a balance. Your partner's doctor may be able to help you find a support group. This will help you deal with the resentments being a caretaker may bring up in you.

Getting your emotions out in the open and learning that they are the same feelings that other people in your position feel can help you move forward to find new solutions. The emotions you're experiencing are more normal than you think.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
