The Ugly Truth Of Bipolar Divorce
Michalis 'BIG Mike' Kotzakolios


Defined Tag:

People who are suffering from bipolar disorder usually exhibit extreme emotions. From mania to depression to anger to hyperactivity to weariness, such a disorder can have the subject wringing through a gamut of radical feelings. As such, people who are suffering from bipolar disorder often have problems dealing with people. After all, extreme and sudden mood swings manifested by the mental disease can strain relationships, ruin friendships and destroy careers.

It is not too shocking a statistic, then that 90% of people who are suffering from bipolar disorder go through divorce proceedings. Of all the relationships people nurture, marriages are the most volatile. Marriage entails commitment and mutual expectations. It's not like family bonds that can withstand the direst straits. Marriage, in the US at least, allows for a way out, and when things don't go according to plan, people opt for such a recourse.

Bipolar divorce is resorted to by the other partner, as often is the case. Dealing with a spouse with bipolar disorder, admittedly, is not easy. You'd be subjected to his or her moods. You'd have to bear his or her anger. You'd need to be at your best come his or her periods of depression. You'd have to keep up with him or her during his or her times of hyperactivity. And you'd have to be there for your partner once he or she experiences those moments of exhaustion.

That 90% of people with bipolar disorder have to go through divorce is a sad statistic indeed. The fact is, people who are suffering from the disorder need all the love and support they could get. Bipolar divorce provides the opposite. People with bipolar disorder, though they may be hard to understand at times, need all the understanding they can find. After all, if they won't be able to understand themselves, someone should be there to guide them. Again, bipolar divorce will promote the contrary.

Sometimes, sacrifices have to made to ensure that our loved ones will be in the best wellbeing. Sometimes, we have to forego our own luxuries and our own joys just to guarantee what is best for the people we care for the most. When bad times come, it would serve us well to think of the reasons why we have fallen in love with our partners in the first place. And we should strive to make the relationship work. That's what love is all about, after all. And that is what marriage should be.
