Critical Points To Bear In Mind While Dealing With A Bipolar Spouse

By Ronald Reynolds


When getting married, we take a vow, to love each other in good and bad times, in sickness and health, till death do us part. This is a vow you take before getting into the marriage department and before you know what one is signing up to. Couples fight all the time, but these fights can be controlled or ended if the problems causing them are attacked early enough. Your partner, for example, could be suffering from bipolar disorder, a condition which will make them have extreme mood signs which may be frustrating and disappointing, and you may need to find a way to deal with this situation. Below are the important tips you need to consider when dealing with a bipolar spouse.

Learn to take some deep breath sessions. A deep breath helps you to relax. When you are relaxed, you will be able to understand that the person you are dealing with is unwell and is only behaving like that because of his condition.

Coming to terms and accepting that your partner is suffering from such a condition is the first step towards achieving the better. Through these act of acceptance, you can focus on the issue and even go a step further to seek guidance from spouses suffering from such a condition too which is a excellent move.

Try to avoid this person whenever they are in the situation. There is always a perfect way to avoid getting with a partner when they have this condition. Get away from them so that they have time for their selves. That also will prevent you from getting into an argument that would make matters worse.

Try to bring a funny and good moment that will bring a happy mood to your partner. The happy spirits will drive all the sad and low moments. They will be replaced immediately with those joyful moments and situations. However, know when to bring in such a joke as a blunder cud only get matters in a worse situation.

Devise mechanisms for enforcing the medications. Most of such individuals are difficult also in terms when they need to take their medication. However, you must follow such persons and ensure that they take their medication at all times. They are also like a child and hence you have to on their toes. If they are reluctant to take the medicine, take some serious steps like going away from the house for some time.

Recall on love all the time. Love is an adamant emotion and needs to be kept alive for it to survive. Every time you feel like you are losing hope, or like the burden is too big for you to carry, remember that this is the person you fell in love with. Bring back all the good memories of the beautiful moments you have shared together, hold on to the wonderful memories, and everything will be good as new.

Know the philosophy of your marriage. You accepted this person in this condition because you loved him. Do not define him by his condition, but by the love the two of you feel for each other. This will keep the disease away and keep your love flames burning forever.
