A lid on that mood

Friday, April 04, 2008 at 09:06 PMMy partners Pdoc says he can learn to reign in his moods by practise regulating his thoughts..catch them, control them. It works most of the time but we still have episodes. Falling in love makes anyone feel high, even non BP's and it is makes perfect sense that this feeling would trigger mania in someone with BP. Not sure what you do about it but you already have your answer....you have to cool it for a while or she will run! Get back into a more settled frame of mind before you try again. Then, go in knowing this is a trigger and try to reign it in. ( The Bipolar Workbook has ideas on how to do this.) Best wishes Rusty
