Hello,
My name is Julie Fast. I'm the author of Loving Someone with Bipolar Disorder and Take Charge of Bipolar Disorder.
In 1994, my partner was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and spent three months in the hospital in a psychotic/manic episode and then spent many more months in a severe depression. A year later, I was also diagnosed with bipolar disorder after ten years of unexplained mood swings. I was unable to work, maintain relationships or lead a stable and productive life.
Using my experience on both sides of this illness, I created a management system, described on this website that works both for family members as well as the person with bipolar disorder. I call this plan the Health Cards Treatment System for Bipolar Disorder and I use it myself, daily. Now I work, keep my relationships strong- especially with my family - and I truly experience a productive and rewarding life outside of the illness. You or the person you care about can do the same!
No more crisis thinking needed when the emotions and mood swings
hit again.
Build your management system that lasts a lifetime!
|
| |
|
You are not alone. Over 17,000,000 people in
the United States have bipolar disorder. They have problems with
moods, relationships, money and work. |
|
Are you ready to stop moving from crisis to
crisis and feeling as if there is no way to stop the roller
coaster, no way to manage illness? |
|
Would you like to gain the insight and
understanding you need to find stability and manage your life or
that of your loved one? |
|
Do you have difficulties with side effects
from Lithium, Lamictal (Lamotrigine), Geodon (Ziprasadone),
Olanzapine (Zyprexa), Depakote (Divalproex) or any of the many
medications used to treat bipolar disorder? Did you know that
medications are important, but rarely take care of the majority
of bipolar disorder symptoms? |
|
Are you ready for an all-inclusive plan and
system to manage your life and find the stability for yourself
or that of your loved one? |
Stability is possible, it just takes a plan. |
|
Were you just diagnosed with the illness or do you care about someone who was just diagnosed with bipolar disorder? I know what you're going through. For years I didn’t know what was wrong with me. I always
wondered why I couldn’t manage my relationships, my career, my
finances or finish anything that I knew I was capable of! It wasn’t
until I was finally diagnosed with bipolar disorder that I could see
a series of choices made over a lifetime that were caused by the
negative symptoms of the illness and not something I was doing on
purpose. I still remember the frustration, hurt and pain I seemed to
live with daily – This not only affected myself but my loved ones
too. I can only imagine what my mother went through!
When I was first diagnosed, I read everything I could find on
bipolar disorder. I met regularly with my health care professionals
and tried all of the medications they thought would help. But after
years of unsuccessful treatment, I finally realized that the illness
was so complicated that medications were not enough to help me find
the stability I so desperately craved.
I also realized that there was so much more than
mania and depression in this illness. There were so many problems
that the books, doctors and pills weren’t addressing. I just
couldn’t accept that I would always have serious medication side
effects, chronic depression with suicidal thoughts, manic episodes,
psychosis, trouble working and difficult relationships (just to name
a few of my symptoms!) All of this was ruining my life and despite
all of my medications, I was still barely able to function. HOW
WAS I GOING TO LIVE SUCCESSFULLY WITH THIS ILLNESS? I know you
are now wondering the same thing. If not for yourself, then for your
loved one.
It was then that I developed my own
comprehensive treatment plan to manage bipolar disorder
successfully. I knew that I needed something that worked for me
personally and not a cookie cutter idea used for all people with the
illness that simply focused on medications. I wanted to get well,
not just survive. I called this management system The Health
Cards Treatment System for Bipolar Disorder and within six
months of using the system, I cut my symptoms in half and was
finally to live a more stable life.
You can also create a personal plan for your own set of
circumstances and challenges with bipolar disorder. Let’s face it,
though the generally symptoms of bipolar stay the same, they way we
want to manage the illness can differ. We also need to learn how to
ask for the help that really makes a difference so that we can stop
the mood swings that are destroying our lives. The Health Cards
Treatment System for Bipolar Disorder took away my confusion on
how I was going to live with this serious illness, especially when I
was in a mood swing and I was finally able to do what worked instead
of searching for an answer only outside of myself. I realized
that I had MUCH more control that I thought and that I could get
better. |
| |
What about our loved ones?
|
| |
The
chaotic nature of bipolar disorder seriously affects the people
around us and I knew that I had to find a way for my family members
and friends to understand this illness so that they were not
constantly confused and frustrated by my behavior. My mother,
brother and all of my friends are now my greatest supports because
they finally know how to help me. |
| |
I know that bipolar disorder is a tough illness, but it can be
managed. With a clear and easy to start approach and the insight
into the many faces of the illness, you can quit moving from crisis
to crisis and live a full life while managing bipolar disorder. |
| |
The Health Cards Treatment System for Bipolar Disorder guarantees
the following results immediately and effectively: |
| |
- Learn to recognize and prevent the stressful
and damaging conversations and behaviors caused by bipolar
disorder mood swings.
- Learn the difference between depression,
mania, psychosis, OCD symptoms, ADHS (ADHD) symptoms, anxiety
and more – so that you can treat each symptom effectively
instead of trying a one size fits all approach. (I know from
years of experiences that this never works!)
- Is there anything more stressful than wanting
to make friends and find happiness in family and romantic
relationships and yet knowing that this illness always gets in
the way?
The Health Cards Treatment System for Bipolar Disorder
immediately stops the relationship problems bipolar disorder
inevitably causes by teaching you how to first manage your own
symptoms and then teach those around you how to help you stay
stable so that you can have the relationships you dream of.
- Learn how to drastically increase your
ability to work and financially support yourself.
- And finally, immediately know how to
successfully manage the illness so that you can have the time
and brain space needed to live the life you want to live- free
from the control of bipolar disorder.
|
| |
And
there is one more lasting and important benefit of the cards -
family members can finally understand how the illness affects the
person they love and how they can make a true difference in the
quality of life for the person they so desperately want to help.

immediate need. I also have long standing relationships with people

know how they’re doing. I use The Health Cards Treatment System for
Bipolar Disorder personally in my daily life.
Whether you have bipolar disorder or you care about someone who has
the illness, I guarantee that the system can change the way you view
and manage the serious and frustrating symptoms people experience
when they have bipolar disorder. Guaranteed!

two download versions?
No! The Health Cards System is meant to be shared
with ALL of the people in the support system. Simply
forward the confirmation email to anyone in your
immediate support circle. Julie always encourages
family and friends to work together. We do ask that
you limit link sharing to your immediate support
system.
What is my loved one doesn't want
help, will your System still work?
Yes! The System will work because you will change
the way you interact and respond to your loved one.
You will also have a deeper understanding and
knowledge of the illness that many times breaks down
the communication barriers once your loved one sees
the change. It may take time before they want to use
the System themselves but I assure you only positive
results. |
