Over the last few years I began to notice a pattern in my daughter's manic episodes as well as her changes in moods from high to low. I started doing research on Bipolar Disorder and how they relate to the changes in the cycles of the moon. My lifelong friend, Crystal, whos son also suffers from Bipolar Disorder and ADHD also made a comment to me that also made me question how those with Bipolar, as well as other mood disorders are affected by the cycles of the moon.

First let me say that boundaries don't only apply if you have a loved one with bipolar disorder! Boundaries apply in all relationships because you will only be treated as well as you expect, or as badly as you allow, yourself to be treated. When you set boundaries you are communicating that you know who you are and what you are, and are not, willing to tolerate for yourself and those you love.

It is generally accepted that narcissistic personality disorder tendenciesmaymanifest as a result of defunct parenting. Narcissistic tendencies can develop as a result of very low emotional intelligence operating within a family dynamic. If emotional support is non-existent and especially if replaced with abuse or abandonment, the child who becomes narcissistic may decide ‘It is too painful to be open and vulnerable and suffer the agony of being discarded or abused’ and w

Having been diagnosed with Bi-polar disorder in 1994, I am familiar with the criteria set forth in the DSM-IV manual for this mental disorder. I cannot deny that I have had periods of manic episodes or depression, outbursts of anger or grief and/or outrage and disgust with those whom I love the most, including myself. But in the years of searching for my own self, I have found many things that help me in my current life to refrain from some of these episodes. Unfortunately, I

A Little Insight Goes A Long Way

"I will not engage; I will not engage; I will not engage. No matter what mean, cruel or hurtful things he says, does or accuses me of, I will not engage." I can't tell you how many times that verse has gone through my head, since my husband was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder II, superimposed with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. I know what you're saying "sure, easier said then done". I agree, it's not easy, but it is one of the best coping skills I've developed to take the air out of the hot air balloon (a/k/a bipolar disorder) before it rises too high in the sky.

You hear it all the time, a person is given a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, the doctor writes a prescription, tells them to book a follow up appointment and that person leaves the doctors office with a lot of unanswered questions. Often their first reaction is denial, confusion, frustration and for some possibly relief that they’re not crazy. Bipolar is an illness were those diagnosed and the people caring for them will both need understanding and emotional support. The best place to fulfill these needs is through education.

Valentine's Day! Sweetest Day! For the seemingly happy couples these are the days of declaring their everlasting love by giving cards, gifts, sending flowers, enjoying a romantic dinner or just spending loving time at home alone.

A world we believed would be ours when we first fell in love.

Family members respond differently to bipolar in the family. For some there may be a sense of relief that the extreme mood and behavior has a name and can be treated.

Life makes us experience many different types of emotions and feelings. Some people have a hard time transitioning from one mood to another. These people have bipolar disorder, a mental condition in which a patient experiences elevated episodes of mania followed by periods of depression. The transition between these moods occurs rapidly. Bipolar disorder is divided up into three categories, type 1, 2 and cyclothymia. In bipolar disorder 1 a patient experiences periods of mani

Bipolar Disorder is difficult to treat. People that have been diagnosed with this disorder, do not want to take the medication once they have been regulated with the proper dosage. The reason this happens, is once their body has been treated with the medication properly, they begin to feel as though nothing is wrong and they do not need the medication. This is a symptomatic result from Bipolar due to being regulated on the medication, because it is working! They feel so good, that they feel as though they do not need the medication any longer.

Some family members or close friends may be able to help the person they care for recognize warning signs of bipolar and take action to prevent full bipolar relapse. Not all people with bipolar disorder get these warning signs, but for those who do, involving a family member or close friend in helping to recognize and or respond to these bipolar signs can be very helpful. Warning signs of mania or hypomania are commonly easier to pick up than signs of bipolar depression. Wh

Bipolar disorder (previously called manic depression) affects not only the life of the bipolar sufferer, but also the life of their close family and friends.

Many bipolar carers report feeling very stressed. The risk of depression and other he

Prior to my diagnosis of bipolar disorder I had believed my highs and lows were just a regular part of who I was. I can clearly remember moments when I felt out of control, depressed or even worse suicidal. If you know anything about mental illness imagine what having undiagnosed bipolar disorder mixed with thirty years of self discovery did to my spirit? I felt completely lost, out of control, different, and socially awkward.

I have recently been diagnosed as having bipolar depression, which is a kind of depression that causes the person to fluctuate between being on a high, and being very exuberant and creative, as well as being depressed and lethargic. To me, "bipolar depression" is just a psychological term that describes life which is indeed a series of ups and downs, isn't it? And I would like to dispel the myth that even helpers like myself are immune to feeling depressed, or beyond western

What exactly is a "quality" of life? Well, according to Wikipedia, quality of life is the degree of well-being felt by an individual or group of people. Unlike standard of living, quality of life is not a tangible thing, and so cannot be measured directly. It consists of two components: physical and psychological. The physical aspect includes things such as health, diet, and protection against pain and disease. The psychological aspect includes stress, worry, pleasure and other positive or negative emotional states.

Mental disorders can be confusing, as well as debilitating. They can turn your world on it's head in a blink of an eye. Bipolar disorder is one such ailment.

Ok. I'm guilty. I love the opposite sex! At times I indulge but like candy it's sooo ohhh sooo good yet it spoils your stomach.

Manic depression or bipolar disorder affects more and more people in modern societies. The disorder is characterised by periods of mania followed by others of depression.

For the average person, life can be stressful at times. Personal relationships, raising children, careers and life in general- they all bring there own types of stress. That is just how life is sometimes. Imagine, for just a moment, that you had to battle internally with your own thoughts- if the most basic task caused you to feel overwhelmed.

Bipolar in itself can be debilitating, confusing and frustrating to those that suffer. Employers do not understand your daily battle at times, just to get out of bed and trudge on through your day. Family members can be critical in the low times of post mania, when the depression sets in with no passing in sight. Relationships falter and pass by the wayside, leaving you feeling as though this is just one more blow to your self esteem that causes you to almost give up. Friends can not grasp the rapid change in your moods and they begin to make excuses for not getting together.

December 2016 Screaming. Excruciatingly desperate. Dangerously loud. Pain expressed with every sound; helplessness released with every breath. I sit up in my bed, surrounded by darkness. The sun starts peeking between the curtains of the bedroom. I look around, trying to figure out where the damn screeching is coming from. I was perfectly content pretending I was dead. Sleep is the only thing that relaxes me now. The only thing I crave within my aimless, and honestly pathetic, existence. But this stupid bawling freak ruined everything.

The single biggest point of failure for home based business owners is running out of enough people to talk with about their products and their business opportunity.

My school’s counseling service is pushed to the back and most depressing corner of the student health center. I find myself there, quite unamused by the set up. I decide that after this first, mandatory meeting, I will never come back. Therapy is overrated; even if I am labeled completely screwed up today, I figure I will talk to the doc, get some happy pills, and go on my merry way. Just like all the other screwed up people in this screwed up world. I’ve abandoned my screwed-up-ness before, and I usually resume my state of nothingness soon after an “episode”.

Today marks my first ever meeting with a psychiatrist. A good ole crazy people doctor for good ole crazy me. The psychiatrist turns out to be a sweet, bubbly, round-faced young woman who looks more like a favorite elementary school teacher than a psychiatrist, but in a good way. I like her immediately. Finally, someone normal. Side note: I get the whole psychiatrist thing. Decent money, and you get to learn about crazy people brains. Way more satisfying than being a therapist, if you ask me. I could do it, if, ya know, I don’t die first.

I am one month into my antidepressants when my psychiatrist tells me she has not seen any improvement in my “condition.” She doubles my dose of Prozac to 40mg, which, by the way, induces a hell of a lot of serotonin into one little tiny depressed body. I glare at her. I’m pissed that I’m not fixed yet. I’m pissed that she hasn’t fixed me yet. I stomp out of her office, like a little kid, and head to the bar, like a big kid. My friend and I each order a pitcher of hard cider, and I try my best to drink away my anger. My impatience. My frustration. My resentment. And, secretly, my fear.
