There was no education about it. \u00a0There was no Google. \u00a0The only thing my dad knew about it, and the only thing the rest of us knew about it, was what we were experiencing in a cloud of secrecy and shame. \u00a0It was the first time I had ever heard of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bphope.com\/underlying-molecular-mechanism-of-bipolar-disorder-revealed\/\">Lithium<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When his depression lifted, life went on as normal. \u00a0Dad took that little pill faithfully, and life went on. \u00a0I\u2019m pretty sure that my dad never read up on \u201cmanic depression.\u201d My mom most likely read what little information that was available. There was no talk therapy that my dad did except for whatever small amount the psychiatrist may have done.<\/p>\n<p>The second person I knew who had bipolar disorder was my mother-in-law. \u00a0She was diagnosed with it in the \u201880s. She struggled a lot. \u00a0She had trouble taking her medicine.\u00a0 She sadly and painfully died from bipolar disorder in 1987. \u00a0What we experienced was so painful and so drenched in shame, yet we moved forward with a tremendous amount of support from our faith community.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, May 12th of this year, having been on vacation for all of 36 hours, my sister called to tell me that my dad had died. \u00a0It was very unexpected. We all were stunned. \u00a0Shocked. He had dropped to the floor and was gone. No words. No goodbyes. Just like that, gone. \u00a0He would have been 80 on July 22nd. \u00a0He most likely had a massive heart attack. He died with bipolar disorder, not from it. And there are many things I learned about how to and how NOT to live with bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n<p>One of the major things I learned from observing my dad dealing with his diagnosis was that life can and does go on. \u00a0He got up following that long severe bout of depression and he chose to live. Dad kept going. He lived his life somewhat well in spite of his diseased brain. \u00a0However, if he had had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bphope.com\/ask-the-doctor-adding-talk-therapy\/\">talk therapy<\/a>, more education and support, I can\u2019t imagine how better life could have been for him.<\/p>\n<p>He was \u201cold school.\u201d \u00a0So, he never worked through any of his issues. You could tell that there were times his mood was escalated and numerous times where there were bouts of depression. \u00a0There were still mood swings. \u00a0You certainly couldn\u2019t get him to talk about his feelings or mood unless he was angry. \u00a0And that anger could be so incredibly intense and unpredictable\u2014and you never really knew when that anger could go \u201coff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t imagine how much better life could have been for him had he done more than just take the medicine. \u00a0His approach to having bipolar disorder was simple: just take the medicine and keep going. \u00a0It was the same way that he handled having diabetes. He took the medication. He even tested his blood levels regularly. \u00a0But he never adjusted his diet, the part he truly had control over.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Over the years, I\u2019ve met quite a few folks who have bipolar disorder, and find it so interesting that so many of us only take our medicine as though it is a \u201cmagic potion\u201d that will fix everything, and yet don\u2019t do our part of working along <i>with<\/i> our medicines.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I know I did this same thing for the first seven years following being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. \u00a0I took my medicine faithfully but didn\u2019t do anything about my thinking. \u00a0I didn\u2019t change many of my habits, nor did I work on my emotional triggers. \u00a0I didn\u2019t learn how to handle stress better, and I had little knowledge of what parts I could do in order to work with my meds. \u00a0I just took my medicine and tried my hardest just to go on. \u00a0But, trying my \u201chardest\u201d didn\u2019t work too well. \u00a0And seven years after being diagnosed, I relapsed. \u00a0Had I not relapsed, I suspect I would still be attempting to do my best at just moving on.<\/p>\n<p>It was because of my relapse that I wanted to get to the bottom of my emotional issues. \u00a0I wanted to know and understand the core issues of my manic behavior. \u00a0It was the hardest work of recovery I have done to date. \u00a0And I\u2019m SO glad I did it! \u00a0Why? \u00a0Because I\u2019ve been episode-free, living well in spite of having bipolar disorder, since that relapse, which was nearly 15 years ago. I credit my stability with having done my work of digging into the depths of my emotional issues and baggage, my triggers, and have learned to handle the stress in a much healthier way.<\/p>\n<p>Now, this is not to say that I will never have another bipolar episode. But I am doing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.whatididtorecover.com\/\">all I can<\/a> to avoid any possible interruption and life-altering episodes of bipolar disorder. \u00a0I am also committed to doing my part, such as:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Maintaining a very regular schedule<\/li>\n<li>Staying mindful and on top of any of the slightest changes of mood and\/or feeling stable, and taking action if necessary<\/li>\n<li>Managing my stress<\/li>\n<li>Overcoming my emotional triggers<\/li>\n<li>Putting an end to blaming others and taking responsibility for what was \u201cbad behavior\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I often wonder how much better my dad\u2019s life would have been if he had only done his part and worked with the medicine to improve his relationships; \u00a0if he had learned how to pay attention to any change of his mood.\u00a0 Don\u2019t get me wrong, the quality of his life was not horrible. But, it could have been so much more if he had worked through his issues.<\/p>\n<p>In spite of the fact that my dad could be a real stinker, I loved him. \u00a0And I\u2019m missing him. \u00a0I find myself thinking about him a lot. \u00a0I also find it hard to believe that he is gone. He ran his race. He finished the course. And in spite of having been diagnosed back in the \u201cdark ages\u201d of mental health, he never used his diagnosis as an excuse for anything. And when I crashed and burned in 1995, he gave me the greatest gift a son could ever receive from his father. \u00a0Following my very public crash and burn, Dad put his hands on my shoulders and said, \u201cNo matter what happened, or that the problem is, you are my son. I love you, and I\u2019m proud of you.\u201d \u00a0What a gift that was. \u00a0I so treasure it today. \u00a0In my most hopeless situation, he spoke words of hope and love to me.<\/p>\n<p>I miss my dad. \u00a0And I wonder how much better his life\u2014and the lives of those around him\u2014could have been if he had made the great effort of working through his emotional baggage, instead of just taking his meds as though they were going to fix the bipolar disorder like some mythical potion. \u00a0There are no medicines that one can take that change (not merely mask) your attitude or thinking. Medicine can only do so much. \u00a0The rest you and I have to do. \u00a0And it\u2019s hard work.<\/p>\n<p>How about you? \u00a0Are you doing the hard work that medicine can\u2019t do? \u00a0Are you working along with your medicines? \u00a0Or are you waiting for your medications to take care of all of your issues? \u00a0You know, changing your thinking and behavior isn\u2019t easy. \u00a0And while doing \u201cour part\u201d is an ongoing process, it is worth the hard work! \u00a0If you need courage or encouragement let me know! \u00a0I would love to cheer you on!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you have bipolar disorder, no medication can truly change your attitude or thinking, as I learned from my late father. \u00a0It takes hard work.&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":3537,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3531","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hope-and-encouragement"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
