Hey its the Weekend and Sunday is Super Bowl XLIV

I don't know about you but I am a huge football fan and I can't wait to Sunday to See the Colts take on the Saints in Super Bowl XLIV. I am pulling for the Saints but it will definitely be a tough feat to beat the Colts.
Well your probably saying what correlation does this have with Bipolar Disorder, well what a better way to get out of the house and go by your families house or a friends house to have a Superbowl Party. This gets you around more people and puts you in great social setting so you can really enjoy yourself. Even if you are battling Depression or Mania you can definitely use the time away from home and do something different.
Well to keep it short and sweet have a great weekend, plus remember stay active and safe!

Sorry For not posting in quite awhile!

I know I have not posted in quite a while, its mainly because I have had a real up and down start to the New Year. The New Year started off great but that lasted for about just two weeks. I had another bout with a Depressive episode which is currently still having a major effect on me now so if my writing seems off or dull it probably is because I am really having a hard time concentrating on really anything at this moment.
When I am in depressive episode, I know for me everything seems to be going at a snails pace and I feel so Isolated, worthless, helpless, tired, I sleep most of the day because everything just seems so worthless and I figure what's the point to do anything because it certainly won't help me feel better. I know others feel different symptoms from mine if you do maybe you like to share them with me or feel free to share anything that may be on your mind. So until next time stay active and safe!

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Has a Healthy and Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and I hope everyone has a Healthy and Happy New Year! With that said just remember to stay positive this coming New Year and continue to follow your treatment plan in order to tackle Bipolar Disorder. So until next time stay active and safe!

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 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.
