Or “deal” with her?She’s on medication already, the highest dose there is actaullyIt’ll be a year for us on June 6th, and I dont want to lose her.

A: She should be taking medication. I was engaged to a man that was exactly like that. The sex was amazing but usually followed by an unprovoked blow-up and him storming off and me wondering what I did wrong! He refused to take his medication, so I refused to marry him. Have her talk to her psychiatrist or personal physician. I wish you the best of patience.

What are ways to deal with bipolar disorder without medication?

Q: My meds are running out and I don’t have insurance because I just moved to a new state and I don’t have any money to get insurance so I was wondering, what are ways to deal with bipolar disorder without being on meds? Is there any way possible that I can control my moods without being on medications?

A: You need to be on your medication. Contact your local MHMRA (mental health mental retardation association) . It should be listed in your phone book. They will have programs available to assist you with obtaining medication at little or no cost depending on your income.Trying to control your moods without medication is useless. When you are in a manic state, you won’t be aware of the poor judgment and poor impulse control that you will experience. This will lead to problems that you don’t want to have to deal with.You can also call 1-800-784-2433. They have trained counselors available 24/7 who can help you find resources in your local area.Good luck and remember you are worth the time, energy and money it will take to treat your disorder for a healthy future.Tex

Does anyone here know how to deal with Bipolar Disorder?

Q: My boyfriend has Bipolar Disorder and it scares the crap out of me and worries me sometimes. How can I deal with it and help him to control it?

A: My heart goes out to you, my dear. You have your hands full. I can say this because I am bipolar as well and I see firsthand what it does to my significant other, yet as hard as I try to control it (been through everything over the past 14 years- meds, docs, books, acupuncture, hypnosis… you NAME it),,, I can’t control it. It takes such a grip on your life, it can be … debilitating. All you want is to be normal. I would say to you, in order to HELP him, have to first try to understand it yourself. He’s all over the place, I’m sure, but if you can understand the disorder, perhaps it won’t upset you as much when you realize what’s going on. It WILL scare the crap out of you, and it SHOULD worry you. I don’t know if he’s seen a doc, but he really should. He might resist it. Let him know you want to see him healthy. There’s a book I ordered online, you can even download it online, by Julie A. Fast…. It’s called “The Health Cards system for Bipolar Disorder”. Best book I’d ever ordered. Not only did it help me tremendously, but there are tons of sections in the book for my significant other to learn my ways of thinking. I hope you are a strong strong girl. Best of luck. Be patient. It is SUCH a frustrating disorder. To everybody.
