I know it's been awhile!

I know now it's been awhile so I am absolutely sorry. Things have been okay for me but I have had a few BP depressive episodes along the way. A couple were severe but I did make it through thanks to the knowledge I have and being educated about Bipolar Disorder. One thing I need to avoid especially is isolation. Isolating from the outside world is really a bad habit I have developed and one which has really caused way too many of my Depressive Episodes. Well, I will simply have to practice what I preach and get out once in awhile. Until Next time stay active and Safe!

How to go about getting support and help

The Best people to have as support our your family and friends. Your family is probably the most obvious to have as support but a friend can also be just as important. When you have a friend that you trust, you will be able to confide in them whenever a problem may arise. After building trust with your friend you will feel comfortable in sharing concerns and problems with each other. This is truly a special bond a person with Bipolar Disorder can develop and it can go a long way on your road to recovery.
When it comes to getting help, people with Bipolar Disorder are sometimes embarrassed to admit that they have a mental illness. But anyone who has Bipolar Disorder should know that you are not alone and that help is out there whether it's within your community or your local clinic or hospital help is surely out there. Another option for people with Bipolar Disorder and other mental disorders to seek out help is by going online and looking for your local chapters of Bipolar Depression Support Alliance to find out all they have to offer.

Maintaining Stability

Maintaining Stability can be difficult at times because sometime we fall into bad habits such as not getting plenty of rest or not eating the right diet or not getting the right amount exercise. Maybe sometimes it can even be not being productive in your daily life. Remember it is important even if you don't work and collect disability it is still important for you to maintain your productivity throughout the day. Whether it is by reading, writing, or even taking a walk and also remember to make it a point to interact with others besides your own family. It is very healthy and also can help in maintaining your stability along the way. So remember to keep in mind all these points I have addressed and you should definitely be able to maintain your stability. So until next time stay active and safe!

The importance of staying Active

I can not stress how important it is for a person with Bipolar Disorder to stay active whether you able to work or not. You have many options out there to keep you active such as exercising on a daily basis, taking up a hobby, reading a good book, volunteering or even just taking a walk each day. The main point is too stay active because when your active you prevent your mind from dwelling on the negatives. Negatives which can lead to episodes down the line are very hard to overcome but with a little work on staying active you can really avoid any negative feelings from entering your mind.
Let's get started now! So until next time stay active and safe.

Sorry That I haven't Post in quite awhile

I am surely sorry I have not posted in quite awhile, I will try to make up for my time away by trying to post each day. Well, just wanted to check in and say hi and let you know that I will make it a priority to post everyday to make this blog a much more active one. Until tomorrow stay active and safe.

Thinking Positively and Negatively When dealing with Bipolar Polar Disorder

Today, I want to talk about how positive thinking can help in maintaining stability when it comes to Bipolar Disorder. Plus, how negative thinking can halt your chances of reaching stability.
Positive thinking can go a long way when your dealing with Bipolar Disorder not only is it important for the one dealing with BP to be positive but it is also important to surround themselves with people who also have positive attitudes too. When I say positive thinking I mean for instants saying you can reach stability rather than saying you think you will never reach stability and you will always feel down. Having the negative attitude for sure will put a damper on your chances of achieving stability. So when it comes to positive thinking make sure you always give yourself credit and always keep a positive attitude no matter how hard things may seem.
I know firsthand how negative thinking can bring you way down, I know when dealing with depressive episodes my attitude always seems to be negative but I always remember to stay positive and know that the feelings I am having will eventually subside.
So with that said remember positive thinking equals stability and happiness while negative thinking leads to instability and sadness. So until next time stay active and safe.

Sorry for not posting in awhile!

As I recall my last post was June 19th. Since that time I surely have been through a lot its like my memory seems to hinder me. I just got through a long depressive episode, I am feeling a lot better now but I am still feeling the effects of my anxiety. I also have been experiencing tremors it could be from the medicine I take but it also can be just the anxiety that has lingered on since my depressive episode subsided.
Well that is enough venting about what I have been going through the last couple of weeks. It sure seems like over a month the days seem to drag on and on for me. I try to keep busy by reading, taking walks and also going online and trying to keep my mind occupied.
I just want to be stable for more than a month that is my goal but I sure can't seem to reach it lately.
Well, the weekend is finally here and I hope to keep busy and along the way have a little fun which is just what the doctor ordered. Until next time stay active and safe.
