Julie’s Message: Plan Ahead for New Year’s Eve!

Hello Everyone,

This is Sheri Joi,  host for  ’Your Best Holidays Ever’ coaching call.  It was a great success.  I learn from Julie every time we have a call. I could tell she was surprised to hear that I have also struggled with depression and loneliness on the holidays-  even though I have a large, happy family. It’s all relative. I’m using her tips this year and have planned for all of the days that are special for me.

Here is one of Julie’s main points:  How to deal with loneliness during New Years Eve!

Julie: One of the main problems we face is loneliness during specific days such as New Years Eve. I’m a big believer in planning ahead in order to prevent depression. If you don’t have plans for a day that’s important to you,  there is still plenty of time! Is [ Read More ]

HealthyPlace.com Web interview with Julie A. Fast on How to Get Things Done When You’re Depressed

HealthyPlace.com Web interview with Julie A. Fast

Hello to everyone, I recently did an interview with Gary Koplin  founder of www.HealthyPlace.com, the world’s top mental health informational site. Gary has always been a strong supporter of my work and I enjoy working with him to educate the public about bipolar disorder and depression as well as help those of us directly affected by mood disorders. Here is the newsletter Gary sent out to promote the event:

Web TV: Managing Severe Depression with Julie A. Fast

Watching this week’s HealthyPlace Mental Health TV Show reminded me how debilitating Major Depression alone, or as part of Bipolar Disorder, can be. Many days, our guest, Julie Fast, wakes up crying and sometimes can’t seem to get out of bed.

She’s extremely educated on the subjects of depression and bipolar disorder, [ Read More ]





Bipolar and Parental Responsibility

Parental Responsibility

I believe that people with bipolar disorder who have children have an extra important role as parents. 

It’s so easy to take bipolar disorder out on children- whether it be a lack of physical contact with a child when a parent is depressed or involving a child in dangerous behavior when a parent is manic.  Children are so vulnerable.  I will never forget a friend of mine telling me what it was like growing up with a mother who had bipolar disorder. She said, “When she got depressed, she stopped doing everything. I remember coming home from school and she would be on the couch eating potato chips watching soap operas. We had to get our own dinner. I was about 10. Then she would get better and clean up the house and things would go back to normal. We never talked about it. It’s not ok [ Read More ]
