Living With Bipolar™ — The Daily Wellness & Care Companion

Living with bipolar disorder can mean adjusting your daily care as your mood, energy, and capacity change. Having a place to record observations, organize support, and prepare for care conversations can make those needs easier to communicate.

Living With Bipolar™ is a compassionate digital companion for adults who want practical structure alongside professional treatment. Created by Dr. Maxine Goring-Rodriguez, Ph.D. in Psychology, this SoulCentements™ resource brings her Soul-Centered Mental Wellness Model into everyday reflection and care planning.

A gentle structure for everyday support

Through a spiritual core and four wellness quadrants—Healthy Sense of Self, Psychological Flexibility, Perspective, and Daily Maintenance—you’ll explore ways to:

• Practice self-respect without measuring your worth by productivity.

• Record sleep, low mood, increased activation, and changes in daily functioning.

• Identify personal warning signs to discuss with your care team.

• Build realistic routines and a minimum-care plan for difficult days.

• Prepare questions about treatment, side effects, and support needs.

• Create clear agreements with trusted people.

• Reflect on difficult periods with compassion and practical next steps.

Spiritual reflection is personal and optional, with secular alternatives centered on meaning, values, and belonging.

Your download contains four documents in both Word and PDF formats—eight files, with 31 pages of content across the four documents.
