medication bipolar
Bipolar disorder is a mental illness characterized by extreme mood swings. It is inevitable that you or your loved one will go into a manic episode at some point, so it must have a plan in place.
Here is an example of a manic episode security plan that can be placed in the refrigerator or other place where it can be easily seen:
Bipolar Manic Episode Safety Plan
 • STAY SAFE (however it should be), stay in their safety zone. If you are at home, you can not go on a spending spree!
• A Do not be alone, if possible (to be around someone who is aware of the symptoms manic bipolar disorder and may help control).
 • Be accountable to someone – as their defender – who is known to be in one episode, will ensure that you take your medicine, and sit and listen to you, especially since one of the biggest symptoms of a manic episode is that we talk so much!
 • If you can not find someone to talk to, no Internet chat rooms where other bipolar manic episodes experience we understand how you feel.
 • Be sure to take their medication and on schedule, and appointments with your doctor, psychiatrist and therapist.
 • Do not take any important decision, or any other aspect of minor importance (if you can help).
 • Control your spending! The best way to do this is to have his follower to hold the credit card and take control of the checking account.
 • You can not sleep much, but this is a symptom of an episode bipolar mania. There are things you can do about it – talk to your psychiatrist, therapist or doctor. It may be only a temporary problem due to the craze, and you can be able to get a temporary medication to help sleep.
 • Take care of personal needs (hygiene, eating, exercising, sleeping, etc.).
 • Stop (not too hungry, angry, lonely or tired).
 • Although this can be difficult when you manic feel, try to make what would normally be enjoyed (reading, watching TV / movies, go to your support group, etc.)
• A "what you can stop by itself (take a bath, reading, listening to soft music, walking, gardening yoga, meditation, journal, etc.).
 • Remember the deceptive nature of their thoughts and feelings during a manic episode, and they tend to be higher than normal in nature.
 • Do not follow through with big plans that tend to have during a manic episode, especially those who have come to feel "special insight" you have received during their hobby.
• A "no action" impulsive thoughts you may have to risk behaviors.
 • Be aware that this is only a temporary situation, and do nothing that has lifelong consequences.
 • Tell yourself "This too shall pass", "I've been here before and have gotten through it," and any other positive thoughts you can used to replace your negative thoughts.
 • You may have paranoid thoughts that others are out to "get" you. These are not real, and only the result of their episode of bipolar mania.
 • Remember: paranoid thoughts are temporary only when is a bipolar manic episode.
