Dear Honeybear,
I was diagnosed bipolar in my mid twenties. My husband left me and I was broke. I am thankful to my medical team (therapist and psychiatrists). I learned to understand that most people cannot offer support for bipolar. It is not in them. I stick with the professionals for my support. Some poeple find luck with National Alliance on Mental Illness: www.nami.org and Depression and bipolar support alliance: www.dbsalliance.org/ You might find that you benefit from some bipolar stuff on youtube: Bipolar Movie This one has flashing lights if that is ok with you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaSo0FmfiDk See 3.12 for how bipolar effects the body personal experience with Bipolar Disorder -- this one talks about being depressed and manic at the same time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DCdv...eature=related Maurice Benard, Bipolar Disorder http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2TVi1jjvSE Marice Benard from General Hospital talks about -the struggle to stay on his med and -how about how much help he gets from his children and wife and -his relationship with god. Bipolar Disorder recovery in 12 steps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8J9a4Iu6poY -- a little long and boring but has good info Talks about finding well being by reducing stress Bipolar Overview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl95tsiLvyM Talks about the benefits from good meds and good pyscho /social services. Probably caused by genes mixed with environmental factors. Take your good moments wherever you can find them -- be they taking walks, sleeping, fixing a healthful lunch for yourself, writing in a journal, or even keeping a mood journal like this one on line or on paper: www.moodtracker.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I apologize if this is too long. Some times I am in a wordy mood and sometimes I have nothing to say. You caught me in a wordy mood. Take care of yourself. Find things that you love about yourself and honor those things. We feel better one or two steps at a time. Those steps add up. ![]() M. |
