Hi,<\/p>\n

How’s it going?<\/p>\n

I wanted to bring up something today that I think you need to be prepared for in advance, and that is holiday let down in your loved one with bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

I don’t want to ruin your Christmas, and I do hope you have a really good one, but the more prepared for this you are, the better you will be able to cope with this when it happens after the holidays are over.<\/p>\n

With all the festivities associated with the holiday season going on right now, your loved one might be acting pretty excited right now (but, hopefully, not manic).<\/p>\n

And this will build up to Christmas and, if you’re lucky, even to New Year’s Day.<\/p>\n

However, after the holidays are over, your loved one (and you) are bound to face holiday let down.<\/p>\n

I just want you to be prepared in advance.<\/p>\n

One of the things I talk about in my courses\/systems is that sometimes something seems negative, but it really is a positive.<\/p>\n

\nSo don’t think this is a negative message. I just want you to be realistic, and I want you to be prepared.<\/p>\n

After all the excitement of the holidays, with all the parties and gatherings, the presents… and after all the Christmas decorations are taken down and put away…<\/p>\n

Your loved one may feel a sense of loss.<\/p>\n

Any sense of loss to a person with bipolar disorder is a trigger to stress, which can lead to a mini-episode, or even a full-blown episode, if you don’t watch it.<\/p>\n

That’s what I want you to be prepared for.<\/p>\n

Think about all the other times your loved one has exhibited symptoms of their bipolar disorder after a relatively “normal” period of time, and don’t be caught by surprise at this time.<\/p>\n

How did they act last year after the holidays were over?<\/p>\n

Did they act let down?<\/p>\n

Did they start sleeping more?<\/p>\n

Did they mope around the house?<\/p>\n

Did they start withdrawing from friends and family?<\/p>\n

Did they lose interest in things that they used to take pleasure in?<\/p>\n

What other “out of the ordinary” behaviors did they exhibit last year at this time?<\/p>\n

Because these are all signs and symptoms of a bipolar depression.<\/p>\n

And you might expect these behaviors to happen again.<\/p>\n

Let me ask you this:<\/p>\n

What have you tried in the past that has helped you cope and deal with your loved one’s holiday let down behavior?<\/p>\n

It might work again.<\/p>\n

If it has worked for you, please share it with us, so we can share it with others, as it might work for them, too.<\/p>\n
