Bipolar Disorder Mood Swings are so unpredictable!
Well, I just got out of a rotten down swing. What’s so amazing and just as frustrating about this illness is that we can be extremely ill one day- even suicidal and then boom. It’s gone. It wears me out, but I’m glad to be my normal self again.
When I get really sick- no matter what the mood swing- I use all of my energy to remind myself of one thing:
I think, say and do certain things depending on the type of mood swing I’m experiencing. This means it’s an illness.
Once I learned all of my symptoms- I wrote them on my Health Cards and my life changed forever.
I used the Health Cards all week last week! Depression is so hard.

I’m going to rename the Health Cards so feel free to send me your ideas. If you’re not familiar with the Health Cards, they are the treatment plan I created in 1999. You can read about the system on www.bipolarhappens.com
