During the time that I have been working with Julie, Ive\u00a0seen the challenges faced by someone with Bipolar disorder.\u00a0 I\u2019ve witnessed the day when it was difficult for her to sit still and even focus because her thoughts were bouncing everywhere.\u00a0It was hard for me to know how to help her get refocused. She is teaching me what I can do to help. \u00a0I’ve also\u00a0been a part of a morning that was a \u201cgirl to girl\u201d chat just to clear the thoughts so that a work focus could be resumed and maintained.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0There is so much that can be learned from working with someone who has bipolar illness.\u00a0 The discipline of taking care of yourself and planning in detail what you intend to do have been a good addition to my daily routine. There is also a time to be flexible and work back around to the needed focus.\u00a0 I\u2019ve also learned to watch my thoughts and not to let the obsession run away from me.\u00a0 I\u2019ve watched this happen with Julie and watched her reel it in. She \u00a0is truly fantastic in managing an illness that can have such devastating consequences if not managed.\u00a0\u00a0 I am looking forward to a wonderful month of December, filled with holiday cheer and I owe so much of it to the work I am now doing with Julie.\u00a0<\/p>\n
