can someone with cyclothymia please write me about their relationships with family and partners.?
Question:
Answers:
Cyclothymia is a less severe form of bipolar disorder, the latter of which results in extreme swings between manic or hypomanic episodes and major depressive episodes.
The following recommendations may help you manage cyclothymic symptoms:
Take your medications. Even if you're feeling well, follow your doctor's orders. Discontinuing treatment can lead to a hypomanic or depressive episode.
Pay attention to warning signs. If you feel you're facing a symptomatic episode, call your doctor and take preventive action, such as simplifying your schedule. Involve family members or friends in watching for warning signs.
Be aware of triggers. Avoid triggers when possible and develop strategies to deal with those you can't avoid. You may be able to work around some challenging situations or find optimal times to deal with them.
Avoid drugs and alcohol. Drugs and alcohol may trigger hypomania or depression.
Check first before taking other medications. Call the doctor who's treating you for cyclothymia before taking other prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications or dietary supplements. Some of these substances may trigger cyclothymic symptoms or interact with your mood-stabilizing medications.
Keep a record of your moods, daily routines and significant life events. These records may help you and your psychotherapist understand the effect of treatments and identify thinking patterns and behaviors associated with cyclothymic symptoms.
Keep regular work, mealtime, sleep, social and exercise routines. A consistent daily routine may help prevent rapid shifts in mood.
Join a support group. Local chapters of nonprofit organizations, such as the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance, provide support groups that offer an empathetic environment and help individuals and families learn new coping strategies.
How can I know my mind?
An alert mind is not a problem; an unaware mind is. The mind projects the future to be fulfilling but misses the beauty of the present. If you are rich, you want to be richer; if you are strong, you want to be stronger; if you are beautiful, you want to be more beautiful. Such a mind does not make you live life but leave life.
Such a mind creates false prayers. You make a ritual out of prayer and pretend to pray. Such prayer becomes an empty gesture.
Why am I so greedy?
There is a visible world and there is an invisible world. There is a visible self and an invisible self. The visible world is a world of diversity and the invisible world is a world of oneness.
If we live on the periphery we will feel incomplete but completeness is one’s nature. This incompleteness wants us to be a complete person. But the only track it knows is greed, wanting more. The enlightened masters give us not a dogma but a device to reach this state of completeness.
We should stop fooling around with life. Just thinking to be happy is not enough; just thinking to be wise is not enough. It is a luxury to think but it is wisdom to live. Ask yourself: Are you concerned with reality or fantasy?
There are two ways to know reality. If you want to know objective reality, then science is the way out. If you want to know subjective reality, turn to spirituality.
Why does one worry in life ?
Worry has become a habit for many. An inner energy that is not creative goes around in circles of worry. A creative person is one who, when he encounters a problem, is focused on the solution and is not a victim to the problem. Convert the problem into a springboard for possibilities.
A doctor does not cure illness but allows the healing process within to surface by giving it the right condition. So, too, the true healer exists within you. But you have to create the right condition. By looking at the mountain you can’t climb the mountain, you should will yourself to climb the mountain. Optimise this will for you to be above worry.
What should one do to be successful in life?
Ultimately what you need is self-confidence, mental toughness, commitment to excel and the ability to use the power of imagination.
What do you mean by self-confidence?
There are three pillars of self-confidence: Feeling good, taking responsibility and developing skills. There are both healthy ways and unhealthy ways of feeling good. You should develop the discipline to feel good in a healthy way. The quality of one’s life is the quality of one’s consistent feeling. There are techniques that are taught how to hold and maintain consistent feelings of empowerment within you.
How does one acquire clarity?
Clarity is acquired not by knowledge but by knowing. It is not a belief system; it is intelligence operating in the domain of freedom. The true meaning of renunciation is not renouncing the world but renouncing bondage. When bondage is renounced there is freedom, the most important thing. In freedom lies intelligence. It is not just discipline but true freedom. Freedom is not something devoid of order; it is
