Hello to everyone!
I want to say thanks for all of the comments and questions I receive on this blog. They mean a lot to me and I know they are important to other readers as well. Thousands read this blog for inspiration each month- and what you write really puts a human face on bipolar disorder. I have noticed lately that many of you are leaving supportive comments on the suicide blog entries.
I wish that I could answer all of the questions I recieve- I do read them all and try to write blog posts that address the most common questions. Many answers are found in my books as well.
My newly revised website http://www.bipolarhappens.com/ has a LOT of free information on the topic of bipolar disorder including its symptoms and triggers, the medications used to treat bipolar disorder, tips for parents of teenagers and a great deal of information for families and partners.
You can also read more about the treatment plan I created in 1999 when I was not able to manage my bipolar disorder with medications alone. Thie plan is called the Health Cards Treatment System for Bipolar Disorder. My book Take Charge of Bipolar Disorder will give you a solid foundation on the basics of the illness as well as a very useful and proven treatment plan. This book answers many of the medical questions about bipolar disorder that I receive on the blog including historial information on the illness, the different diagnoses and all of the common symptoms of the illness. The Health Cards are oriented towards a lot of the feelings that come from bipolar symptoms as well as the triggers. All of my books are available on online book stores and in libraries. The Health Cards are only available on bipolarhappens.com.
All of my books build off of each other and answer many questions.
I also have individual coaching available for parents and partners who want to work on a specific situation. You can click on the link to the right for more information.
Please do keep sending comments and questions and I will get to as many as I can. It’s also very helpful when a reader has advice for another reader. I see all comments first, so don’t worry about giving the wrong advice. All advice from the heart is good advice!
My goal when I started writing books on bipolar disorder was to help others find stability so that they can have positive relationships, a rewarding work experience and happiness in life instead of constant mood swings. It’s still my goal and always will be- I jsut wish I had 100 fingers so that I could answer each one of you personally!
Defintely keep writing!
Julie
