Today marks my first ever meeting with a psychiatrist. A good ole crazy people doctor for good ole crazy me. The psychiatrist turns out to be a sweet, bubbly, round-faced young woman who looks more like a favorite elementary school teacher than a psychiatrist, but in a good way. I like her immediately. Finally, someone normal. Side note: I get the whole psychiatrist thing. Decent money, and you get to learn about crazy people brains. Way more satisfying than being a therapist, if you ask me. I could do it, if, ya know, I don’t die first.

Prior to my diagnosis of bipolar disorder I had believed my highs and lows were just a regular part of who I was. I can clearly remember moments when I felt out of control, depressed or even worse suicidal. If you know anything about mental illness imagine what having undiagnosed bipolar disorder mixed with thirty years of self discovery did to my spirit? I felt completely lost, out of control, different, and socially awkward.

For the average person, life can be stressful at times. Personal relationships, raising children, careers and life in general- they all bring there own types of stress. That is just how life is sometimes. Imagine, for just a moment, that you had to battle internally with your own thoughts- if the most basic task caused you to feel overwhelmed. Emotions are something that we deal with every second of everyday. The most mundane task presents a myriad of emotions that most people do not even notice.

How are you finding selfgrowth.com? There’s a huge wealth of information on site. I could browse it for hours. Have you come across two difference experts with two different approaches to the same thing? If you’re now confused as to where to start to achieve your goal or solve your problem, here’s my advice… go for whichever approach you feel most attracted to and give it a go.

If you see or feel small blisters on your lip and/or around your mouth you could very well have a fever blister or cold sore. Examine the reddened area. You may find small blisters that are cracked or leaking a clear fluid and then, hopefully, scab over in just a few days. Medically, they are known to heal in 10-14 days. Before we attempt to define a treatment for cold sores or fever blisters we really need to understand just what causes them. I know some of this is going to sound scary, but it’s important to know.

What exactly is a "quality" of life? Well, according to Wikipedia, quality of life is the degree of well-being felt by an individual or group of people. Unlike standard of living, quality of life is not a tangible thing, and so cannot be measured directly. It consists of two components: physical and psychological. The physical aspect includes things such as health, diet, and protection against pain and disease. The psychological aspect includes stress, worry, pleasure and other positive or negative emotional states.

A Little Insight Goes A Long Way

Mental disorders can be confusing, as well as debilitating. They can turn your world on it's head in a blink of an eye. Bipolar disorder is one such ailment. Many people world wide suffer from bipolar disorder, but many more really don't know what bipolar disorder really is, and how it impacts and changes a person. Your employers don't understand why some days you just can't make things work. Your friends and family may not understand your excessive mood swings, and things around you seem to be stuck in a perpetual state of chaos.

Being a parent is a hard job. Being a parent to 5 children is an even harder job. Being a parent to 5 children while coping with being bipolar can some days seem impossible. Downright impossible. I won't lie.

Most of us approach the holiday season hoping, wishing and pretending that everything will be OK, but what we often fail to do is PLAN & PREPARE. By taking time to revisit past holidays you gather a lot of useful information to help with preparing and planning for the next holiday season.

We all have our reasons we came into this business, some for money, some for job freedom, some for time freedom, and some to simply sell the product, some to build a dynasty. Whatever your reason, it is CRITICAL that you make early contact with that reason, write it down, make a poster of that reason and put it in front of you at all times.

Ever feel like you're on top of the world and nothing in it or about it can bring you down? Have insane amounts of energy like you've just downed a case of energy drinks chased with coffee?

Or maybe it's taking a toll on your mind, your body, your relationships and your work.

This is a topic near and dear to my heart, and today I was struggling for a quick and easy topic to write about, and Psych Central had an article about emotional abuse that was perfect!

"I will not engage; I will not engage; I will not engage. No matter what mean, cruel or hurtful things he says, does or accuses me of, I will not engage." I can't tell you how many times that verse has gone through my head, since my husband was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder II, superimposed with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. I know what you're saying "sure, easier said then done". I agree, it's not easy, but it is one of the best coping skills I've developed to take the air out of the hot air balloon (a/k/a bipolar disorder) before it rises too high in the sky.

The single biggest point of failure for home based business owners is running out of enough people to talk with about their products and their business opportunity. This became immediately apparent to me when I got started in this industry back in 1991. I tried local newspaper advertising with the major newspapers and had good success; back then! The same doesn't hold true today. The world has moved to the internet and only a small number of Americans are reading newspapers anymore. This impacts on our COST/RESULTS ratio negatively.

Workers and employers in the U.S. are bracing for a retirement crisis, even as the stock market sits near highs and the economy shows signs of improvement. It is time to ask you some serious questions: Are you set up where you can maintain your personal lifestyle with your known retirement sources of income? As we face the probability of a drastically changed social security system in the coming years, do you believe you are buffered with sufficient savings to make up the difference?

You hear it all the time, a person is given a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, the doctor writes a prescription, tells them to book a follow up appointment and that person leaves the doctors office with a lot of unanswered questions. Often their first reaction is denial, confusion, frustration and for some possibly relief that they’re not crazy. Bipolar is an illness were those diagnosed and the people caring for them will both need understanding and emotional support. The best place to fulfill these needs is through education.

December 2016 This institution looks nothing like the movies. It’s set up like a little home, comfy cozy, except everything is confined to one huge room, so they can watch us. There’s a receptionist desk, where the lady who checked me in now sits. She switches between scrolling on her computer and scanning us crazies.r

December 2016 Screaming. Excruciatingly desperate. Dangerously loud. Pain expressed with every sound; helplessness released with every breath. I sit up in my bed, surrounded by darkness. The sun starts peeking between the curtains of the bedroom. I look around, trying to figure out where the damn screeching is coming from. I was perfectly content pretending I was dead. Sleep is the only thing that relaxes me now. The only thing I crave within my aimless, and honestly pathetic, existence. But this stupid bawling freak ruined everything.

Bipolar in itself can be debilitating, confusing and frustrating to those that suffer. Employers do not understand your daily battle at times, just to get out of bed and trudge on through your day. Family members can be critical in the low times of post mania, when the depression sets in with no passing in sight. Relationships falter and pass by the wayside, leaving you feeling as though this is just one more blow to your self esteem that causes you to almost give up. Friends can not grasp the rapid change in your moods and they begin to make excuses for not getting together.

Over the last few years I began to notice a pattern in my daughter's manic episodes as well as her changes in moods from high to low. I started doing research on Bipolar Disorder and how they relate to the changes in the cycles of the moon. My lifelong friend, Crystal, whos son also suffers from Bipolar Disorder and ADHD also made a comment to me that also made me question how those with Bipolar, as well as other mood disorders are affected by the cycles of the moon.

Bipolar Disorder is difficult to treat. People that have been diagnosed with this disorder, do not want to take the medication once they have been regulated with the proper dosage. The reason this happens, is once their body has been treated with the medication properly, they begin to feel as though nothing is wrong and they do not need the medication. This is a symptomatic result from Bipolar due to being regulated on the medication, because it is working! They feel so good, that they feel as though they do not need the medication any longer.

In the aviation world it is said that there are two classes of pilots. Those who HAVE landed gear up and those who WILL. The same can be said for every American. There are two types of people. Those who HAVE faced extreme adversity and those who WILL. Have you ever had your bag full of marbles and was about to settle back in the comfort of a good life when all of a sudden someone comes along and pulls the string and shockingly you see all of your marbles back on the floor.

It's been an exciting start for students returning to school and especially for those entering college for the first time! By now, everybody is in his or her dorm and happy with his or her class schedule. Hopefully, meal plans and textbooks are coming together smoothly, too.

Of course, meeting new friends is always a time for excitement and by now, everybody is looking forwards to TGIF celebrations both on and off campus.

The Tucson, Arizona tragedy has been on the tongues and minds of the nation over the past week. The tragedy has indeed caused conversations regarding mental illnesses to move forward as it typically does on the heals of a tragedy such as this. The lesson, therefore, is still the same: undiagnosed and untreated mental illnesses can lead to tragic consequences. This includes suicide and homicide.

My school’s counseling service is pushed to the back and most depressing corner of the student health center. I find myself there, quite unamused by the set up. I decide that after this first, mandatory meeting, I will never come back. Therapy is overrated; even if I am labeled completely screwed up today, I figure I will talk to the doc, get some happy pills, and go on my merry way. Just like all the other screwed up people in this screwed up world. I’ve abandoned my screwed-up-ness before, and I usually resume my state of nothingness soon after an “episode”.

My mom anxiously sits beside me on one of the faded blue couches. Today is the first day of final exams, I remember. But here I am, sitting and crying uncontrollably in the waiting room of my school’s counseling services. I am not the normal college student anymore. I am going insane.r

I do not know what is happening to me. I have never felt this out of control before. I guess I have been broken, and now there’s nothing else but insanity pouring of me. Everyday I wake up with arms and legs made of bricks, and a bowling ball for a head. I skip one, two, all of my classes, but I cannot sleep for more than an hour at a time. I wake up in an impossibly debilitating panic: my heart beats out of my chest, my hands shake a million miles an hour, my stomach clenches into a microscopic knot, tears waterfall down my face.

I am one month into my antidepressants when my psychiatrist tells me she has not seen any improvement in my “condition.” She doubles my dose of Prozac to 40mg, which, by the way, induces a hell of a lot of serotonin into one little tiny depressed body. I glare at her. I’m pissed that I’m not fixed yet. I’m pissed that she hasn’t fixed me yet. I stomp out of her office, like a little kid, and head to the bar, like a big kid. My friend and I each order a pitcher of hard cider, and I try my best to drink away my anger. My impatience. My frustration. My resentment. And, secretly, my fear.

Valentine's Day! Sweetest Day! For the seemingly happy couples these are the days of declaring their everlasting love by giving cards, gifts, sending flowers, enjoying a romantic dinner or just spending loving time at home alone. For those of us living with/married to a loved one with bipolar disorder, they may represent another day we are missing that feeling of "happily ever after." A world we believed would be ours when we first fell in love.

First let me say that boundaries don't only apply if you have a loved one with bipolar disorder! Boundaries apply in all relationships because you will only be treated as well as you expect, or as badly as you allow, yourself to be treated. When you set boundaries you are communicating that you know who you are and what you are, and are not, willing to tolerate for yourself and those you love.
