The Humdinger Bipolar Downswing

My bipolar depression episode has ended. It was three weeks and it was a humdinger. Here is a picture of a humdinger. I can’t stress enough that the BEST thing about bipolar disorder is that it’s an episodic illness. Episodes end. Every day I would wake up and say,

“This is the day I get out of this horrific episode.”

Eventually it worked.


 


I spent at least four to five hours a day working on bipolar disorder management tools I know have worked in the past. Especially the strategies in Get it Done When You’re Depressed.


 


You can get better. Your loved one can get better. Your client can get better. My depressions used to last for years. They now last weeks at the most.


 


Think of reducing the length of your mood swings as a goal. This helps me find success.
