How can I set goals with my partner with bipolar disorder?

In life you are taught to make personal, financial, and physical goals. What no one tells you is that you have to make bipolar disorder goals as well. As the partner of someone with bipolar disorder, you need to create realistic goals that will reflect what you can and cannot do.

As a couple, you can set goals that take into account the limitations of the illness. You probably know that untreated bipolar disorder is a goal wrecker. You may have had great plans for your relationship only to have found that the disorder ruined your plans over and over again.

To counteract this, you must set clear, attainable, realistic goals that carefully consider the limitations that bipolar disorder puts on your relationship. Goals have a timeline. For example, you might set a goal that states, "I want to have a more loving and stable relationship that is not controlled by bipolar disorder, and I'm willing to wait six months to see the changes before I make any major relationship decisions."

Setting goals is a process, not only a result. The time it takes for you to reach your goal is just as important as reaching the finish line. Set a time limit and remember that all of the time before that time limit is part of the entire process.

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.
