The Holidays are Coming
by Michele Soloway Sexton

Yes, the holidays are coming, as you can tell by all the Christmas decorations that have been up in stores since before Halloween! So you are probably already feeling some nervousness or pre-holiday jitters concerning your loved one with bipolar disorder.

There is no reason that bipolar disorder should stop you from enjoying the holidays the same as anyone else. You just may have to do some extra planning.

For example, if you are in a gathering of people and you notice that your loved one is having difficulty (acting stressed or anxious) in the situation, make sure that you have a way to leave early without offending anyone or drawing attention to your loved one.

This is easily done ahead of time by saying that although you are glad to be included, you might not be able to stay long, or that you may have to leave unexpectedly. You don't have to give any other excuse than that.
