1. Read all you can so that you aren’t constantly surprsed by the odd things that bipolar makes us do!
2. Learn about psychosis. It’s often the most difficult symptom to understand, and yet most of us go through it.
3. Have a plan in place for when the person you care about gets really sick.
4. Learn to recognize and stop the Bipolar Coversation! I talk about it in all of my books. It’s my main family tool.
My mother and I have worked for years on our relationship. She is now my greatest support. It took years of study and practice, but it was 100% worth it. Family members can be gold to those of us with bipolar disorder.
