Hi,<\/p>\n
How’s it going? I am kind of annoyed. My cell
phone isn’t working. I pay so much money
for a cell phone and it never works right?
Ever call Sprint customer service? It’s like
dealing with 100 bipolar episodes. <\/p>\n
Anyway let’s talk about what we have to talk
about today.<\/p>\n
I have been getting a lot of communications
(via email, phone, blog, letters in the
mail) about how do you know.<\/p>\n
First let me say this. It’s a skill to
know what’s part of a bipolar disorder
episode or what can lead up to one
versus what is a person’s normal
behavior. <\/p>\n
Today I am going to give you one technique
that you can use to help yourself figure
it out. This isn’t the only technique
but only one.<\/p>\n
Here’s what you do. You get a blank sheet
of paper and you write down answers
to when you FIRST met the person that
you are supporting. <\/p>\n
How did the person normally treat people
What type of language did the person normally use
How kind was he\/she
Did he\/she curse
Did he\/she curse in a mean way towards you
Did he\/she yell at you
Was he\/she caring?<\/p>\n
I think you get the idea. You write down
these answers.<\/p>\n
Then step two is to envision the person
and what they were like when you first met
them. Spend at least 10 minutes thinking
about this.<\/p>\n
Now you have a clear picture of the way
the person is and now you take this picture
and the information on your sheet and you
compare or juxtapose it against current
behavior. <\/p>\n
If there is a big difference this could
be a sign the person is not under the right
treatment plan or currently in a bipolar
disorder episode.<\/p>\n
When I first started supporting my mom,
I use to use worksheets and do a lot of
work to figure it out. But then it because
built into me and I know longer needed
my own self created instructions (the ones
that I just helped you make).<\/p>\n
Today I can tell almost instantly what is normal
behavior for my mom versus bipolar behavior.<\/p>\n
But I have a number of other means to figure
this out as well. That’s just one technique
I use. <\/p>\n
I have more in my Bipolar Supporter Course.
If you have bipolar disorder I have information
in my Bipolar Success Course on what to do
when you feel yourself “going off track.”<\/p>\n
