What support do I need if I have bipolar disorder?

Here are some of the types of support you might want to investigate if you have bipolar disorder: - Emotional support is best described as a shoulder to lean on when you don't feel very strong. A good listener who's unlikely to judge is the best person from whom to seek emotional support. Good emotional support is having someone to call in the middle of the night when you're afraid or anxious, or simply can't sleep.

You can seek emotional support from a family member or friend, the on-call nurse of your HMO, or a hotline. - Getting support in healthy living and following your maintenance plan is a general kind of support you can get from friends, family, and professionals. Many people in your life can play significant roles in supporting your quest for a healthy lifestyle.

You can have exercise buddies or a trainer who keeps you accountable. Someone with whom you live might be a good support for you in taking your medications. An online network or group can also provide support in living a healthy lifestyle, including encouraging you to take your medications and attend psychotherapy sessions.

- Help with your responsibilities, such as taking care of your home, children, and pets, is the kind of support you might ask of someone with whom you live, or family or close friends who live nearby. Perhaps you have a nanny, housekeeper, or pet-sitter who can be ready to take over when you're unable to carry out your daily responsibilities. - Treatment support is the encouragement to follow your treatment plan as outlined by your mental healthcare provider.

Support groups of any kind are great for helping you stick to your treatment plan. Your psychotherapist and other medical providers are also good sources of support for maintaining your treatment plan. - Financial support may be necessary if you aren't working or are recovering from over-shopping during a manic episode.

It's often difficult to find someone who'll provide you with emergency funds when you need them, but family and close friends are usually the best source of such support. - Getting support from your employer is useful in maintaining your employment, but because of the risk of stigma or the potential consequences of telling people at work, many people try to find support for work-related issues through other support networks. However, if your employer is supportive, your work situation can be adapted to help you maintain wellness and reduce work-related stress.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
