Bipolar Disorder Mangement Realities…..
1. It is 24 hours. No one wants to hear this. There is no such thing as one time bipolar disorder management. It’s daily.
2. Triggers come from change. They are not positive or negative. Getting married can trigger as much bipolar as a death.
3. Medications are about 50% of any plan. Many of us can’t tolerate full medication regimes.
4. Stability is NOT possible within an abusive relationship.
5. If you hang out with unstable people, there is a good chance it will rub off on you and create mood swings.
6. If you are willing to make sacrifices, you can find stability and happiness. Doing what you want without consideration for bipolar will not create stability.
7. Hanging out with stable people is a really amazing experience that teaches us how to live a stable life.
I choose health. I’m learning what I want and need in life. We can get better and we can find happiness, love and financial stability. It takes a plan and it takes time, but we can do it.
