Dear Julie,
Thank you for helping me to understand, as a parent, exactly what the cognitive pieces are of bipolar… and as well, the self awareness that a BP person needs in order to ultimately help themselves. When I used the Health Cards and listed out my daughter’s symptoms- I was shocked when I saw years of patterns so clearly in one place. We know where to start now. I have asked her to read certain parts of the system I thought she would understand. Her favorites by far were the pages and pages of your symptoms. She used her yellow highlighter to mark what matched hers.
AS she grows and as she is willing and able to listen and to take over her own management, this will be the first method we use.
