i think im bipolar
1. Drinking too much caffeine. Ah, yes, coffee, tea, Mountain Dew, energy drinks and super black chocolate. They sure whether of taste and energy call him "." The facts are not giving real power to the pump for a while and then lead to tremors or an accident. Then, cause sleep problems. If you have more than one coffee a regular day, just ask yourself if it affects your sleep. If not, then what has! If, like me, just an iced coffee literally keeps me awake all night, then you have to think whether it is worth. I write a lot about this, as I love coffee. I stick to decaf, however, as much as possible!
2. Staying in the relationships that are argumentative. There is nothing worse for bipolar disorder struggle. When used to allow the fights to happen in my family, I have an immediate suicidal thinking, such as, "I just want to die." In order to stop thinking and the pain that comes with them, I stopped arguing. This meant that some people had to go. It also meant that my contact with some family members had to change. Yes, it was them or me. I chose me. I am who gets sick and has to live with psychosis and depression. Interestingly, many people understand this and know that I have to leave contentious situations no matter what. That helps.
3. Let that anger take over. The Bipolar disorder can lead to a lot of irritation and anger. This can even lead to violence. I was not having a great day yesterday smooth. Felt I was angry, and I had to calm down and make sure I do not take anyone. Yes, I did a coffee! This is going to stop! A man pulled in front of me on a street busy and literally took him through two avenues to a side street. I honked the horn and thought-'Dios me what the stupid driver. "He turned to me. I was pretty irritated and this has sent me a little over the edge. I really had the idea that I had to stick it out and show me he can not turn when it is he who is stupid! It's hard to explain to others that this feeling is different than just the normal anger. When the disorder is related to bipolar, if you feel like a need to hurt others. As if she would be doing the right thing. Sheets is every reason and emotion. I've learned to fight this and you can too. Because I already knew he was angry for no reason, I kept pursuing the car. Then I realized I had to change direction on the day of my account and see what was really going on. I did and irritation of the left in the afternoon.
4. Traveling without planning changes bipolar mood disorder. Traveling is a microcosm of bipolar disorder triggers. Time changes affect sleep, which then can cause mood swings. You may be stuck with people who really do not want to be close. You may have to go to places that are very very encouraging. Or maybe, if you are a family member or friend, the person with disorder bipolar ruins of your trip!
No matter what, like you have to make travel plans with airline tickets, hotels and all the other things that come with the trip, must have a bipolar plan.
5. Getting trapped in the bipolar conversation. This is for family members. This conversation occurs when you try to talk to someone in a mood change. For example, if you try to talk normally a depressed person, you will be frustrated. Anything you say will be tarnished for depression when you say: "But your life is good, why are you so upset?" they can not answer the question.
They say, "You do not understand. My life has no end. I can not find a reason to keep living this way!" If you keep trying to reason with them, bipolar starts the conversation and nobody wins. You have to learn what it seems when the person you love is in a mood swing, these are the days you have to speak directly on the disease instead of trying to have a normal conversation.
You may know this are things that you definitely need to avoid! But knowledge is one thing, practice is another. We are all caught unaware by triggers and we all think, "Oh, I can do this. It will be fine!" and we are surprised by a mood swing again. The management of this disease will never end. We have a lot better at it, but we must be vigilant all the time! It is not fair, but true. And if you care about someone with bipolar disorder, reading everything I can and look after yourself first. You will have the ability and energy to help the other person.
