Cause you know how<br \/>I get so many calls and emails about certain<br \/>subjects, right?  And a lot of times that\u2019s<br \/>where I get my topics for my daily emails.<\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s where I got the topic for today\u2019s<br \/>email.  <\/p>\n<p>So many people have talked to me about<br \/>messing something up with their treatment<br \/>plan.  Then they don\u2019t know what to do,<br \/>so many of them just keep messing up,<br \/>like staying off their medications, which,<br \/>I\u2019ll tell you right now is NOT the right<br \/>thing to do!<\/p>\n<p>Or they stop seeing their therapist, and<br \/>again, that is NOT the right thing to do,<br \/>or they start skipping appointments with<br \/>their other medical professionals, and<br \/>again \u2013 NOT the right thing to do.<\/p>\n<p>Hold on time to say\u2026<\/p>\n<p>NOTE-<br \/>I am NOT a doctor, therapist, lawyer,<br \/>insurance agent, hedge trimmer (someone<br \/>asked me this a month ago),  or<br \/>other kind of professional. I am NOT<br \/>offering medical or legal advice. <\/p>\n<p>Okay, we\u2019re back.<\/p>\n<p>There are so many parts that make up a <br \/>treatment plan, and I\u2019m not going to go <br \/>into ALL the different parts, because I<br \/>go into them extensively in my courses<br \/>and systems:<\/p>\n<p>SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>Visit:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11\">http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11<\/a><\/p>\n<p>SUPPORTING A CHILD\/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>Visit:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com\">http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>Visit:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net\">http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But I do want to talk about what<br \/>happens when you do start to mess<br \/>up some of the parts of your treatment<br \/>plan, and what you should do.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s easy, like I just did above, to talk<br \/>about what you shouldn\u2019t do!  So<br \/>that part is easy.  And in most cases,<br \/>just do the opposite of that.<\/p>\n<p>So for instance, what should you do<br \/>If you\u2019ve messed up with your <br \/>medication?  You need to start taking<br \/>it again, but here\u2019s the problem.  You<br \/>can\u2019t just start where you were, because<br \/>depending on how long you were off it,<br \/>you may need to build back up to that.<br \/>So in that case, you need to go back to<br \/>your psychiatrist and have him help <br \/>you get back to where you were.<\/p>\n<p>YOU MUST WORK WITH YOUR DOCTOR.<\/p>\n<p>You have to be 100% honest with him\/her.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve messed up with your therapist,<br \/>just make a new appointment, and start<br \/>going regularly.  If he\/she accepts you<br \/>back as a patient, then all is forgiven.<br \/>If he\/she rejects you, you will just have<br \/>to start over with another therapist.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s ok, you can do that.  Don\u2019t<br \/>let that get you down.  Just start over<br \/>with the system I taught you in my<br \/>course, how to find a good doctor or<br \/>therapist.  You can do it \u2013 you did it<br \/>the first time!<\/p>\n<p>Just don\u2019t let any more time lapse<br \/>before finding another therapist,<br \/>because you really do need to be in<br \/>therapy.<\/p>\n<p>But now let\u2019s say you\u2019ve begun<br \/>isolating again.  Here\u2019s where it<br \/>gets tricky.  People with bipolar <br \/>disorder are very good at isolating.<br \/>It\u2019s one of the top indicators for<br \/>having bipolar disorder and one of<br \/>the top triggers for a bipolar episode.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters who have loved ones with<br \/>Bipolar disorder watch for this trigger<br \/>in their loved one.  But if the person<br \/>with bipolar disorder has let this slip,<br \/>has started isolating again, then they<br \/>are in a dangerous place \u2013 they have<br \/>obviously let part of their treatment<br \/>plan get out of control.<\/p>\n<p>Now they have two choices when<br \/>confronted with this by their supporter:<br \/>they can close down, shut out the world,<br \/>get all depressed, climb into bed, pull<br \/>the covers over their head, feel sorry<br \/>for themselves, cry, and go into a <br \/>depressive episode\u2026<\/p>\n<p>OR\u2026they can accept that even tho<br \/>they let a PART of their treatment<br \/>plan get out of control, that the <br \/>WHOLE treatment plan is still<br \/>working, and they can still fix it!<\/p>\n<p>If they are lucky enough to have a<br \/>Supporter who is still sticking by<br \/>them thru this, then they can both<br \/>work on the problem together.<\/p>\n<p>First you identify what went wrong.<br \/>Then you can fix it.  It doesn\u2019t have<br \/>to be something all dramatic and<br \/>such.  It can be something as small<br \/>as just not sleeping right.  <\/p>\n<p>But once it\u2019s identified, you can<br \/>work on it.  And it doesn\u2019t have to<br \/>be so overwhelming that it drives<br \/>your loved one to their bed \u2013 it only<br \/>has to be faced One Day at a Time.<\/p>\n<p>Just today.  Only today.  Work on<br \/>your treatment plan the best that you<br \/>can only one day at a time.  Just do the<br \/>best that you can.  That\u2019s all anybody<br \/>is expecting you to do.  Nobody is <br \/>expecting you to be perfect.  And they <br \/>are certainly not expecting you to be<br \/>perfect overnight!<\/p>\n<p>Hey I have to go.
