I\u2019m slightly manic. I\u2019ve always found it very easy to admit to myself and others that I\u2019m depressed. It\u2019s not that way with mania. Mania is so secretive. I get the little voice that says..<\/p>\n

– Maybe you\u2019re just happy!
\n– Maybe this is a good day which is why you\u2019re getting a lot done.
\n– Maybe it\u2019s caffeine- considering that I drink mostly decaf, I doubt that.<\/em><\/p>\n

The truth is that I am manic when I think I\u2019m manic.<\/p>\n

I created my Health Cards Treatment System in 1999 and since using it, I\u2019ve done\u00a0 a lot better mania wise. It still sneaks up on me- that is for sure, but the information\u00a0 I have on my Health Cards reminds me what my brain says when I\u2019m hypomanic.<\/p>\n

– Julie, you\u2019re just creative.
\n– Julie, you just sent in a book proposal- anyone would be happy!<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s all untrue. I\u2019m slightly manic and I have to admit it and keep it under control.<\/p>\n

I am so thankful for the Health Cards- the system works. I just have to be honest with myself and use it!<\/p>\n

What are your mania signs? It sure helps to have a system in place to keep them from getting out of control.<\/p>\n

I simply can’t say enough about the Health Cards. If you have not read about them, here is a link:<\/p>\n

In the past, my mom would say that she thought I was manic- I’d get angry and tell her that she had no idea what she was talking about! Now that we have the Health Cards she can pull out the info and show it to me!<\/p>\n

I’m more open to her pointing things out considering that I wrote down my symptoms and showed them to her!<\/p>\n
