How do you cope when living with someone with Bipolar Disorder? |
How do you cope when living with someone with Bipolar Disorder? I am bipolar and all of us can be hard to live with if we are not receiving proper treatment. It is not our intent to be difficult. A chemical imbalance in our brains causes us to react differently to situations than a normally functioning person does. We have sudden and unexpected mood changes. Anger out bursts are common. But still it is no excuse, we are still responsible for our behavior. The web site links I am providing below are very good. Please check them out. They can provide you with skills on coping with a loved one or helping them to cope and seek treatment. I hope I have helped. I wish you both good luck. If you wish to ask me more or just need to talk contact me at tls3123283@yahoo.com Sincerely, Terry Source(s): National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) http://www.nimh.nih.gov/publicat/bipolar...

Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA) http://www.dbsalliance.org/ National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) http://www.nami.org/ Lock your door at night. If you can. If it's a spouse or a mate, really think about how you feel about your relationship. I had a cousin that was ok as long as she took her medication, but when she'd skip a pill...look out. its very hard to cope, you never know what to expect from day to day when they get out of line,crack them over the head with something and when they wake up tell them they had an episode and blacked out it is hard and you never know when they are going to have a fit my husband is like that you just try and make it and talk to the dr to see if they can put him or her on some meds for it. i do know how yopu feel. just when you think you are getting ahead bam it hits and every thing you worked so hard for is right back where you were before. I make sure the person takes medication for it. I try to keep him so that there aren't changes or sudden things that trigger him. My 11 year old son has it and it is hard sometimes but i just learn what triggers it and we try to stay away from things like that if possible if not then i tell him to go to his room for some quiet time. |
