Start Mending Fences Now
It’s easier to face the hardships of life when your love ones are there for you. If an individual
suffers from an illness the first ones to assist him in his situation is his dear family. That is why
many people are counting on family members and relatives especially if they’re going through a
difficult phase.
What happens if you’re diagnosed with bipolar mood disorder Just as the word suggests it’s a
mood disorder. For some time you might have observed your mood swings. Oftentimes other
family members can notice these things easily but they don’t give it much importance. When the
behavior becomes radical this can already cause a disruption in the family or even at work.
Whenever you have an episode you will likely do abnormal things and you can even hurt your
love ones. You tend to make wrong or bad decisions which are hard to fix. Trying to pick-up
pieces after an episode is really hard. This is probably why most bipolar patients want to isolate
themselves and are ashamed to come face to face with their family members and friends. But
isolation will only make things a lot worse.
Instead of closing your doors to the people that greatly cares and loves you you have to reach
out to them. Reach out to the people you’ve hurt and try to explain what happened. Making
apologies is the best way and tell them that you’re already seeking help.
