About this listen
Living with Bipolar Disorder is a daily challenge, but it can also be the first step toward a bright future. Much heartache, pain, and challenges can happen simply because many still do not understand what is going on, or how to deal with it. Simply acknowledging that you have bipolar disorder is a great first step to rebuilding your life. Once you know what you are dealing with, it gets a whole lot easier to manage.
The book is a supportive and informative assistance that provides the necessary tools and strategies to understand what you or your partner is going through and how you can cope. Inside, you will discover:
- What a bipolar diagnosis really means and what is happening inside the brain on a biological level
- What your treatment options are, and when temporary in-patient care is the best course of action
- How to calm the emotional storm so that you can feel more peace and less pain
- Practical ways to manage your thoughts and feelings so that you are in control of them
- The common bipolar triggers and what to do to avoid them
- How to manage a bipolar episode so that everyone comes out the other end with minimum damage
- How to help friends and family understand your condition better so they can support you in your time of need
- How to face your fears of abandonment and what to do about those dreaded feelings of emptiness and loneliness
- What it takes to rebuild trust and repair broken relationships
- And much more

Two of my favourite lines in this audiobook are that it's OK to slow down and try to understand yourself, and many small steps will get you where you want to go.
It was a very interesting listen for me. I think there may be undiagnosed members of my family that are bipolar. (I'm not a doctor.) And I also see similarities in the behaviour of my late alcoholic father.
Mental health issues are more common than people realize and much of the suffering is invisible and undiagnosed.
As the author says, it is important to seek help when you think you need it, and it's OK to ask for help.
This is full of great, non-judgmental support for those that have been diagnosed. I love how she says to be proud of your perfect imperfections. She wants to help listeners let go of the past and create new roads to a happier and more peaceful future.
There are great tips, such as keeping a diary/journal of your episodes, and examples for recognizing and understanding emotional triggers that cause you to be suddenly afraid or angry in a situation where you probably shouldn't be. This made me think of some of my own past situations where I experienced intense emotion that was out of context.
The author provides some great examples of challenging situations and tips for how to manage your thoughts and emotions.
I think this would be a valuable resource for both those affected directly, and those seeking to understand.
