coping with bipolar mood swings
I was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Does anyone have any advice on how to treat?
My doctor and I have not found the combination correct medications that work yet, so I'm having trouble sleeping and of course with the inevitable mood swings / sometimes manic-depression. I'd love to hear from anyone coping strategies found to be effective while I wait for (a combination lucky) medicine successfully. Thank you very much for your help!
I am bipolar 2 and I seem to have much support is the best for me. Sometimes I still do not recognize the symptoms that I'm starting to swing in a way or another so it is good to have people around who I can trust that tells me when to recognize warning signs. Also having a place to chat and talk about the disease is a great relief to me. I have a website that you like … is absolutely invaluable to me and I think it would probably have died if not for that site some nights when I could not sleep … through the mania is so good to talk with others who understand. Good luck and add, if you love me …. katefindinghope is my name there. Lots www.dailystrength.org support people there and in line late at night! lol As someone said also to be kind to yourself and try to remember that this is learning curve of how to deal with a lot of this material.
