Bipolar? What You Do When the Weather Changes
Published: Tue, 10/29/13
Hi,
How are you doing today?
I hope you're doing well.
Let me ask you a question:
What do you do when the weather
changes?
Don't you:
- Change to winter wardrobe
- Wear a warmer coat
- Put the heat on
- Wear a hat
- Wear a scarf
- Wear gloves
- Wear boots
- Drink hot chocolate or
cocoa
- Warm up the car
- Etc.
In other words, you adapt to your
changing environment.
That's one of the things I talk about in
my courses/systems as well -
How sometimes you have to adapt to
your changing environment:

What if you didn't adapt to your changing
environment?
Say, when the weather started to change?
Well, you'd be pretty cold, wouldn't you?
The point is that there are signs for you.
They are all around you.
And you can see them.
Signs that the environment around you is
changing.
Warnings so that you can begin to change
yourself and your habits and behavior to adapt
to these changes as well.
If you don't...
Well, you'll get cold!
In other words, you'll have to pay the
consequences.
For example...
Let's look at your medications.
I'm talking to the survivor now.
Say one day you just decide that you don't
want to take them any more.
For whatever reason.
After a few days, you're going to get a
warning.
Something isn't going to "feel right."
You will start to feel different.
You will notice a pattern -
Your moods will start to swing.
Other signs and symptoms of an oncoming
bipolar episode will start manifesting
themselves.
These are the warnings that the "weather is
changing."
If you heed these warnings, you'll go back on
your medication and everything will be ok for
you.
However, if you don't heed these warnings...
Everything will not be ok for you.
You could very well end up in a full-blown
bipolar episode.
All because you didn't heed the warnings.
Just like if you don't heed the warnings that
the weather is getting colder and turn on your
heater, you're going to get cold!
You also need to watch your triggers.
That's why I tell you in my courses/systems
that you need to learn what triggers a bipolar
episode for you (everybody is different, so you
need to learn yours).
If you are in dangerous territory, i.e., you
observe a warning, like a trigger has been set
off, be aware that a bipolar episode may follow.
Then it's up to you to do what you have to do
to avoid that episode.
Just like when the weather changes, you do what
you have to do to prepare for that cold weather.
You need to be vigilant about watching for
triggers, signs and symptoms of an oncoming
bipolar episode.
What do you think?
