 Sometimes when we are eager to find love and want to have somebody or someone to spend our whole life with, we tend to overlook certain issues in our partner. Sometimes we misinterpret stalking as being protective, needy as being very thoughtful. Before you commit, it is wise to know the person you are committing your whole life and your future with.
It’ is of vital significance that you know if your partner has mental and or emotional disorder.

The following are kinds of mental and emotional disorder: Bipolar or the other term they use for this is manic depression.

There are times your partner is so super happy and elated and talks non-stop about everything under the sun with great energy and enthusiasm and sometimes tells you impossible capabilities that he can do.
When you noticed your partner in this state he is in his mania state. Mania state is the elations state, the “high” of the bipolar illness. Yet, sometimes you notice him really, really sad, grieving at times. Doesn’t seem to go out of his room and has no energy to do anything.
He calls you and he has extreme episodes of crying and worries and helplessness. This is now the depressive state of the Bipolar. Bipolar illness can be very disturbing in your relationship; there is no consistency and planning because of the extreme mood swings of your partner. Another kind of mental and emotional disorder is paranoia.
If you are involved with a paranoid person most probably, you are exhausted and stressed out since people with paranoia is constantly suspicious and doesn’t trust anybody and mind you it’s not just everyday ordinary suspicions.

It sometimes puzzles you why he doesn’t give you much credit for loving him- that’s because people with low self-esteem find it hard to believe they are being loved.
