And I hope<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">you had a great Christmas if you celebrate it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I know someone who loves to do those Jumble Puzzles. You know, the ones that are in the Sunday comics?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Where each word is jumbled and you have to unscramble it, then take the circled letters from each word and\u00a0 put them together in the right order to solve the riddle? People say I&#8217;m smart just because I have a degree from Yale, but I think this girl is really, really smart.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">She can figure out this Jumble Puzzle sometimes in less than 10 minutes!  And I sure can&#8217;t do that!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That&#8217;s like doing the Sunday Times Puzzle in ink, and those people amaze me, too!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Anyway, I asked this girl how come she&#8217;s so good at solving these puzzles and how she can do them so fast.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And she told me it&#8217;s because she looks for patterns in the words &#8211; like (-ing), (th-), (-er), (-ed), etc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And that got me thinking&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I know it seems funny how I could relate the Sunday Jumble Puzzle to bipolar disorder, but it was what she said about patterns that made me make the connection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now, each person is different, which is why I list out all the signs\/symptoms of bipolar disorder, as well as the triggers to episodes in my courses\/systems:<\/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 \/>\nSo, since each person is different, your loved one is not going to have every sign\/symptom of bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">BUT&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They are going to have patterns.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are patterns to the behavior of a person with bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These patterns are even chartable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For your loved one, I suggest keeping a daily mood chart.  There is a really good one available online at:<br \/>\nwww.moodchart.org.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This records their daily mood, number of hours of sleep, whether they feel anxious and\/or irritable, and even gives them a space to record their thoughts or any specific events that happened that day that might have affected them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This way, they (and you) can notice patterns as they emerge, and get help before an episode occurs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They can even print out the chart and take it to their doctor\/psychiatrist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For you, I suggest doing the same thing in maybe a journal or notebook.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Record the same things as your loved one would record on their mood chart.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Note any things you observe, like behavioral changes, mood swings, anxiety, irritability, change in sleep habits, anything happening in their life that might affect their mood, etc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Take special care to look for patterns in their behavior (especially negative ones or ones that are out of the ordinary).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For example, if you note that your loved one has only been sleeping for 6 hours a night (the usual is 8-9 hours) and that this has been going on for 4 or 5 nights in a row, that&#8217;s a pattern you should be concerned about. Or if you&#8217;ve been noting irritability and\/or anxiety for 5 or 6 days in a row, that&#8217;s another pattern to be concerned about.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Especially if you&#8217;ve noting in your &#8220;Comments&#8221; section that your loved one has been under stress, or that\u00a0 there have been stressful events happening in their life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you do see patterns like these emerge, they could be signs of an episode about to happen, so you need to take them seriously.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">First, talk to your loved one about it.  They may be noticing the same patterns on their own mood chart.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Encourage them to get help &#8211; to talk to their psychiatrist (they may just need a medication adjustment)\u00a0 and\/or their<br \/>\ntherapist about it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you find your loved one reluctant or unwilling to talk to their psychiatrist or therapist about these patterns, see if you can call for them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But the worst thing you can do is to do nothing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Left unchallenged, these patterns will most likely lead to a bipolar episode.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">FIND OUT WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT ME<br \/>\nVisit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bipolarcentral.com\/testimonials\">http:\/\/www.bipolarcentral.com\/testimonials<\/a><\/p>\n<p>David Oliver is the author of the shocking guide \u201cBipolar Disorder\u2014The REAL Silent Killer.\u201d  <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hypertracker.com\/go\/Post\/BP_Kills_BlogAd\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Click Here<\/span><\/a><\/strong> to get <strong>FREE Information<\/strong> sent via email on how and why bipolar disorder kills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hi,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hope things are going well for you.
