Today I want to tell you about three new mental health masterclasses I m offering: one masterclass on handling anger, aggression and rage in bipolar disorder, one on hard mental health conversations and one on how to treat treatment-resistant depression in bipolar disorder. These masterclasses are being offered over the next three weeks, starting this Wednesday! Read More I experience massive fatigue with bipolar disorder. True, there are likely other components to my fatigue, but I know bipolar disorder is a driving factor. The fatigue is so bad that I think it s one of the worst parts of bipolar disorder or any chronic illness. Fatigue affects my life on a daily basis like no other symptom of bipolar disorder and worse yet, there are pretty much no cognitive tools I can use to cope with it. Read on to learn about bipolar disorder and fatigue, why it s so hard to best and the treatments for fatigue in bipolar. Read More I firmly believe that suicide prevention starts with a conversation. A conversation that can stop suicide can be initiated by the person feeling suicidal or someone around them; regardless, a conversation is the starting point. But it can be very intimidating to talk about suicide. There are all kinds of rules when you talk about suicide and political correctness affects the language you are allowed to use. I say forget all that. Suicide prevention starts with a conversation that makes sense to you, not the PC police. Read More Recently a commenter called me out for saying, It will get better. The commenter s point is that pain doesn t get better for everyone and saying It gets better, is a lie; and, I can see how it could be somewhat dismissive of an individual s experience. I understand this commenter s complaint. I understand that just saying, It gets better, can sound just as trite as, Turn that frown upside down. So let s talk about when things don t get better. Let s talk about the nuance of what to say when pain is not getting better. Read More I work very hard to be productive every day in spite of depression. My depression would like me to stay in bed forever but I fight back. I get out of bed, I have coffee, I write and so on. And at the end of the day, I look back and see how productive I was. I find this metric very important. It turns out it s the depression that makes me judge my productivity very harshly. Read More I m in the process of being judged by a doctor and I know the doctor will be judging me for having a mental illness, not to mention my mental illness treatment. This is happening because I just put in an application for a new general practitioner (GP). On the application, I had to write down my medical conditions, medical concerns and all medications being taken. As I looked at it all, I knew it didn t look good for me. It s funny that having a serious mental illness makes you appear like a less-than-desirable patient seeing as you re one of the people who actually need help more. And that s because of judgment. It s about a doctor judging you for your mental illness and your treatment. It s unfair, but it definitely happens. Read More Suicide is likely the most popular topic here on the Bipolar Burble and anxiety is pretty much popular everywhere so both suicide and anxiety needed the webinar treatment. In the case of suicide, the webinar s focus will be on the nitty-gritty of suicide and suicide prevention and the anxiety webinar will be about all things bipolar and anxiety, including tips on how to fight anxiety. The first offering of each will be in the next couple of weeks. Read More People with mental illness frequently stop taking their medication. This is known as medication non-adherence or medication noncompliance. No matter what doctors choose to call it, however, it s a problem. By and large, when the mentally ill stop taking their medication bad things happen to them. But if this is the case, then why do people with mental illness stop taking their medication? Read More
