Not everything has an immediate fix to it, especially when it comes to bipolar disorder. Watch out if someone gives you advice that does - it probably won't turn out so well for you.
You've heard the expression, "If something seems too good to be true, it probably is," haven't you?
Well, the same can be said when you're trying to work out a problem associated with your bipolar disorder.
More likely, you will have to approach it more carefully, looking at all the angles, trying to find out all the options, before settling on the right solution for the situation confronting you.
Not too many things come that easy in life - usually you have to fight for what you want, and bipolar is no different. If you want stability, you have to fight for it. There is no immediate fix for bipolar stability.
If someone tells you that their loved one (or they) took a certain medication and it worked like magic for them and it will do the same for you, be wary. Everybody is different.
And this is especially true when it comes to bipolar medication. What works for one person may not work as well for another person, and vice versa.
You need to stick to what works well for you. Stick to your own treatment plan and, over time, you will reach bipolar stability. Good things come to those who wait, remember? This is no different.
And it will be worth the wait when you find those episodes more spaced apart or gradually diminishing, those mood swings stabilizing, and your life becoming more balanced.
Just remember that it won't happen overnight. It will take time.
