Why is planning ahead important if I have bipolar disorder?

Even with the best stress management skills in the world, we'll all have bad days sometimes. Planning ahead for stressful times can help. Especially for people with bipolar disorder, who may have unexpected mood swings with unknown consequences, it can help to make sure work assignments, chores, and other important tasks are done earlier than the deadline in case an episode comes on suddenly.

You can also make a habit of maximizing your productivity during times when you're full of energy to make up for the times when you're slogging through the day. Keeping everything in order and completing tasks early when you have energy helps reduce the impact of unfinished tasks and low energy when your functioning is lower. Planning ahead can reduce the stressor of the unknown and the anxiety that can so easily trigger a manic or depressive episode.

Planning ahead also means to schedule time for yourself, your exercise, and your family and friends. We reveal our priorities by how much attention we give to the people and things in our lives, so show how important you are to yourself by scheduling time for you.

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.
