Can The Health Cards work when a person with bipolar disorder refuses to get help?
Many people with bipolar disorder either don’t believe or can’t see that they have bipolar disorder. This is a scary and very frustration experience for family members, friends and health care professionals. You probably see very clearly see that the person needs help and when they refuse, it’s like watching someone ruin their life. This is a common problem when a person has bipolar disorder. So the first thing to remember is that you are not alone and the person you care about is not doing anything out of defiance or unkindness. They are ill and the illness will not let them see what is wrong. They may constantly blame others or drink and use drugs to deal with their out of control emotions.
Can I use The Health Cards to help them see they need help?
The Health Cards are designed to be used by anyone who has bipolar disorder as well as family members, friends and health care professionals who want to help the person. The reality is that getting them to see they have an illness is very difficult, but it is NOT impossible or difficult for you to help yourself by understanding the illness thoroughly and teaching yourself and others how to interact with the person.
Do people who refuse to eventually get help benefit from The Health Cards?
Definitely. There is always a chance that the person will see what direction their life is taking – especially if they see you make the significant positive changes you can go through by using The Health Cards. When you change from reacting to what the person does, and start responding in a way that HELPS YOU, you can see some amazing changes – especially in yourself. It takes time and you may still be very scared and frustrated, but you will have a plan that works every day. Trying The Health Cards is up to you. I know that when my family, friends and therapist started using The Health Cards everything in our relationship changed. Everything. They know EXACTLY what to do when I’m sick- even when I start to get manic. Without The Health Cards, all of the mistakes of the past would go on indefinitely. I will use The Health Cards for the rest of my life to maintain stability. You can do the same. They are guaranteed to help.
