Over 200 readers have voted. What is your answer? If you care about someone with bipolar disorder, please give your opinion as well. I’m actually surprised at the results. I thought that the highest vote would be mania!
Sometimes a picture does more than any book: Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy on Dancing with the Stars. I know she doesn’t have bipolar, but… she has had a lot of very honest conversations about her weight issues. I admire that. Kirsty looks great- and of course, Maks never needs to change! (Yes, I’m a DWTS geek!) So many of us with bipolar disorder, myself included struggle with our weight. I like looking at pictures of someone who is doing something about it! We probably can’t dance for a zillion hours every day- but we can walk and do all of the other good stuff! Julie
The Kindle version of Bipolar Happens is almost ready! I will send an email soon to all testers with all of the details. This contest had a great response- so I will have to do another one soon!
Thanks to everyone who wrote- the contest is closed. More later! julie
Bipolar Happens! 35 Tips and Tricks to Manage Bipolar Disorder is the first book I ever wrote. I was so excited. Finally, I was well enough to write. I’d tried to write a book for many years, but something always got in the way. That ‘something’ was usually bipolar.

I mean that I can’t sleep without sleep meds. This is a concern as my body is eating up the dose I’m on now and I’ve had to increase my amount. When I say I can’t sleep, I mean that my eyes simply won’t close. It’s not insomnia. I’m not rolling around in bed getting upset that I can’t sleep, instead I just lie there and have the thoughts, “I’m not going to sleep tonight am I? It’s very worrisome, so I take the meds. I know that there are many things I can change to help myself get to sleep naturally: 1. Stop ALL caffeine – and that means all: tea, chocolate, cola, etc etc. I rarely have regular coffee, so that is not a problem, but I sure do drink tea [ Read More ] One of life’s great lessons is to accept, master, and ultimately enjoy that which cannot be avoided. Chances are you already know that bipolar disorder is incurable, however, there is a vast spectrum of experience in between being a victim of the illness and living a full, productive, and happy life that includes it. Over the four decades since my first manic episode I have gone from one extreme to the other. It is not my intention to underestimate or romanticize this rude adversary. I’ve done cracker factory time, engaged in all manner of reckless behavior, and rebuilt my ruined life time and time again. It’s a wonder I’m here at all. That said, let me urge you to hold on tight to this one bit of advice while trudging through the foreign and forbidding landscapes – embrace your [ Read More ] |
