It snowed like 10 inches or something.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Okay, so&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For most people, the holidays are a happy and exciting time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They enjoy all the shopping, presents, decorating, visiting friends and family, gatherings and parties, and all the festivities that go along with the holidays around this time of year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Even for some people who have bipolar disorder, it&#8217;s a happy and exciting time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But for other people with bipolar disorder, it can be a very stressful time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It can be anxious and overwhelming to them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Like to my mom, for example.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is the worst time of year for her.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is the time when she traditionally goes into bipolar episodes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But we know this, so we just watch her more closely.  And she goes to more sessions with her doctor and therapist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That way, we can avoid the episodes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In my courses\/systems, I go over the triggers of bipolar disorder, and these are things you should know\u00a0 about your loved one:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>\nVisit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11\">http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">SUPPORTING A CHILD\/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>\nVisit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com\">http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>\nVisit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net\">http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net<\/a><br \/>\nIf you noticed that last year around this time, for example, that your loved one became very stressful and anxious during the holidays, then this year you might want to watch them more closely now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If going to gatherings and parties, even if they were with family, were a trigger for our loved one, then you might want to avoid these events, or at least only stay a short period of time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you notice other behavior out of the ordinary in your loved one, too, like that they are more irritable or short-tempered, then that might indicate that they are feeling more stress around the holidays.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you notice that their sleeping habits have changed during this time of the year, then that could be another indication that they are feeling anxious or stressed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If they are isolating, and don&#8217;t seem to want to go out at all, or don&#8217;t want to go Christmas shopping with you, then they might be feeling overwhelmed, another indication of holiday stress.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you see any of these things happening in your loved one, then they might be indications that your loved one is feeling stressed about the holidays, instead of happy and excited.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If this is the case, then you should do what we do with my mom &#8211;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Just watch them closer for any signs or symptoms of depression, in case they might be going into a bipolar episode.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You might want to approach them about some extra sessions with their doctor, psychiatrist, and\/or therapist as well, if you think it is serious enough.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Getting through the holidays is harder for some than others.
