Helping Someone with Bipolar Disorder & Depression

Many people are curious about, afraid of, uncertain regarding and confused in relation to what "Bipolar Disorder" actually is and how it affects a person. Some people are living with family members, partners and friends who may exhibit traits of the disorder yet many remain undiagnosed. Unpredictability in behaviour can be both damaging to relationships and detrimental to overall lifestyle in families. This article contains a brochure which helps to explain and provide guidance on how to help someone who has Depression or Bipolar Disorder so I thought it would be helpful to share that link here. Anyone interested can then download the brochure as required.

Why Worrying is Unhelpful ... And What to Do About It!

We all worry about something ... whether it is the way we look and feel, something we have said or done, or what others are thinking about us or we worry about the future and what that may look like ... or the past ... which we can't change ... we spend a lot of time caught up in unhelpful worry type of thinking ... but we can do something about this ... read on to find one way to combat the unhelpful worry cycle is ... of course ... problem solving.

I think this article from www.PsychologyToday.com is extremely insightful into the way in which worry and/or rumination impacts us from a physiological perspective. I also acknowledge that sometimes problem solving does not happen easily and we have to endure dilemmas or issues that have happened in the past and which cannot be changed. This is when Mindfulness becomes effective ... when problem solving no longer seems possible, feasible or achievable ... you have to find ways to manage your "worry" thoughts effectively ... learning to notice when the feedback loop is at work and how to "unhook" yourself from it will be challenging but helpful in ways you might not believe until you try it!
