Hi,<\/p>\n

Hope you’re doing ok today.<\/p>\n

Here’s an email I got recently:<\/p>\n

“Dave- I have bipolar disorder, and I know my husband loves me and all, but I’m tired of him hovering over me all the time, like I’m going to have a bipolar episode in the next 5 minutes. I’ve been stable awhile now, and I’m doing what I should be doing and I know I could go into another episode I’m not denying that, but I hate the way he watches me so closely, I wish he would just relax and trust me sometimes. Anyway, thanks for listening. Donna.”
\n——————————————————–<\/p>\n

Interesting email, and it does bring up some good points.<\/p>\n

Although I do tell you to watch for triggers and signs and symptoms in your loved one so that they don’t go into an episode…<\/p>\n

If they’re doing everything they’re supposed to be doing to keep themselves stable and they haven’t gone into an episode for a long time (not to say they won’t ever go into another one)…<\/p>\n

You don’t have to hover over them so much that it makes them so uncomfortable, because they might come to resent you, or they might actually feel like you’re interfering with their stability.<\/p>\n

There comes a time where you need to relax and trust your loved one.<\/p>\n

In my courses\/systems below, I teach about what to do to maintain stability:<\/p>\n

NEW EARN THE SECRETS OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?

HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?

So if your loved one is doing these things, and has been doing them for a long time, you can relax a little bit and cut them some slack.<\/p>\n

You need to trust them sometime.<\/p>\n

If you don’t, you’ll burn out yourself!<\/p>\n

If they are:<\/p>\n

\u2022\tTaking their medication
\n\u2022\tSeeing their doctor
\n\u2022\tSeeing their psychiatrist
\n\u2022\tSeeing their therapist
\n\u2022\tGetting the right amount of sleep
\n\u2022\tExercising
\n\u2022\tEating right
\n\u2022\tBeing productive
\n\u2022\tHaving hobbies
\n\u2022\tNot isolating
\n\u2022\tNot sleeping too much
\n\u2022\tNot sleeping too little<\/p>\n

Then I would relax and trust them more than you used to in the beginning.<\/p>\n

It would sound to me as if they have a good handle on their stability.<\/p>\n

And YOU need to take care of yourself!<\/p>\n

You need to do the things that you need to do for yourself so that you can be there for them should they need you.<\/p>\n

Now, I’m not saying that you shouldn’t still watch for PATTERNS of triggers, signs, and symptoms that may go on for awhile, because these could still indicate a bipolar episode.<\/p>\n

This is just being a good supporter.<\/p>\n

But just not on an hourly basis! : )<\/p>\n

So relax and trust your loved one.<\/p>\n

What do you think?<\/p>\n
