Living With Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder affects over 45 million people around the world. If you’re diagnosed with bipolar disorder or you know someone who is know that you’re not alone.

It can be scary to receive a bipolar diagnosis, but there is hope for people with this disorder.

Many people are able to get married, have children, and maintain a career.

This doesn’t mean that there won’t be difficult times when depression, mania, or hypomania disrupt life.

However, with a combination of lifestyle changes, medication, and therapy there are many success stories for people with bipolar.

One of the most important strategies for people with bipolar is to continue treatments even when things begin to feel better.

Feeling more stable can make many people with bipolar feel like they want to stop treatments, but instead, they should view it as a testament to how well the treatments are working.

It’s also important to reach out to other people for support.

Finding a community of people who are compassionate and understanding can help when things become difficult.

A good therapist who understands your or your loved ones' condition is a good place to start as they are specifically trained to understand what you’re going through and to provide helpful information and skills.

If you or a loved one is considering suicide, please reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline or your mental health specialist.

You can also call 911 or go directly to the emergency room.

Know that whatever you or your loved one is feeling is temporary and will not last forever, no matter how strong the feelings are at the time.

Feelings and moods will pass, but you don’t have to struggle alone. There is help available for those who need it.

What Does It Feel Like to Have Bipolar Disorder?

Every human experiences emotional times. Some people are more emotional by nature. For instance, some people may cry after watching a touching commercial.

Some people may be very in tune with other people’s feelings and may naturally go through a range of emotions during the day.

A change in a person’s emotions does not mean that they’re bipolar. Bipolar disorder is not simply a passing feeling of happiness or sadness.

It’s an intense feeling that is persistent and negatively impacts major areas of the person’s life.

These intense feelings last for hours, days, weeks, or even months and they’re not only intense and persistent, but they also feel uncontrollable.

No Two People With Bipolar Disorder Are the Same

Beyond different types of bipolar disorder, people who have it will all have different experiences. Although there’s a common thread of mood dysregulation, there are also individual people who have unique personalities, lifestyles, gifts, and experiences.

There are also varying degrees of severity of bipolar. People who have been diagnosed earlier in life may fare better than those who took longer to diagnose. Medications and therapy can also go a long way in improving symptoms of bipolar.

Some people may also have concurring mental health conditions that complicate their bipolar. For example, someone who had a difficult or traumatic life event may have more severe symptoms and may have also been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
