How should I deal with my worries when my bipolar partner is hospitalized?

There are few things more stressful than putting your partner into the hospital because of bipolar disorder. There is so much uncertainty and fear. There are many questions that the staff doesn't have time to answer.

There are worries about the future of your relationship and how well your partner will be when released from the hospital. There are financial worries and family worries and often you are the main person to shoulder this burden. Other family members and friends may not have any idea of how frightening this time is for you.

They may not understand bipolar disorder and often can't empathize with you in what you are going through. This is all very common. You're not alone in this.

There are some important facts to remember when this happens. Your partner is in the hospital to get better. Your partner is safer in the hospital than at home with you.

Use this time wisely. Use the emotions you are feeling to get started on a treatment plan you can use when your partner returns home. You do have some options.

Accept that you are going to be very frightened at first and then try to get on with your day by doing the things you have to do. Don't let a hospital stay stop you from living.

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.
