When You Should Be Afraid of Someone With It"},"content":{"rendered":"

Hi,<\/p>\n

How’s it going?<\/p>\n

I hope you’re having a good day.<\/p>\n

I’m real busy in meetings today, but I wanted to make sure I got out this email to you, because<\/p>\n

I felt the subject was so important.<\/p>\n

I got a post about a topic I want to discuss today.<\/p>\n

It said:<\/p>\n

“Before I was on meds, I scared<\/p>\n

my family half to death. They<\/p>\n

never knew which direction I<\/p>\n

was coming from. You web<\/p>\n

site is informative. I like actually<\/p>\n

getting information from someone<\/p>\n

who knows the disorder. People<\/p>\n

don’t understand it until they have<\/p>\n

to deal with it, and it takes a while<\/p>\n

for them to “get” it. You are helping<\/p>\n

more people than you know.”<\/p>\n

——————————————-<\/p>\n

No, it’s not the compliment part, although it is nice to get positive feedback, because it helps me to remember why I am doing this.<\/p>\n

It helps me to keep going, to know that I am helping people like you.<\/p>\n

But what concerns me is the part where this person says, “Before I was on meds, I scared my family half to death.”<\/p>\n

The emphasis should be on, “Before I was on meds\u2026”<\/p>\n

Because this is when you should be the most afraid of your loved one.<\/p>\n

That’s why I stress the importance of medication in my courses\/systems so much.<\/p>\n

Without your loved one being on medication (and the right medication at the right dosage),<\/p>\n

there is no telling what they’ll do.<\/p>\n

You might be afraid of what they’ll do to themselves.<\/p>\n

You might be afraid of what they’ll do to others.<\/p>\n

You might be afraid of what they’ll do to you.<\/p>\n

You might be afraid of what they’ll do to the children.<\/p>\n

You might be afraid of their behavior in general.<\/p>\n

You might be afraid they will just get so out of control that you won’t know what to do.<\/p>\n

You might be afraid of what will happen if they get out of control.<\/p>\n

You might be afraid of what will happen if you have to put them in the hospital.<\/p>\n

You might be afraid of what will happen if you lose all your money because of one of their manic episodes.<\/p>\n

These are a lot of things to be afraid of, aren’t they?<\/p>\n

And there are even more!<\/p>\n

It’s no wonder this person says, “Before I was on meds, I scared my family half to death.”<\/p>\n

The problem is the unpredictability of it all.<\/p>\n

Without your loved one being on medication, there is NO telling what they will do\u2026<\/p>\n

No telling what they are capable of doing during a bipolar episode (which is what will happen without medication).<\/p>\n

That’s why it’s so important to get your loved one on the medication they need.<\/p>\n

This person also goes on to say:<\/p>\n

“They never knew which direction I was coming from.”<\/p>\n

That’s because without proper treatment, even the person with bipolar disorder does not know which direction they are coming from.<\/p>\n

They may get paranoid, have delusions (false beliefs), have hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that aren’t there), or even get violent or abusive.<\/p>\n

The only way to really help your loved one is to make sure they are on medication and that they get the proper treatment that they need.<\/p>\n

What about you?<\/p>\n

Have you ever been in the situation that this person describes, where your loved one really scared you?<\/p>\n

What did you do?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
