A sneak peek at this month's newsletter is below and it focuses on mental illness, and specifically how to love someone with bipolar disorder
One of the top things to not say to a person with Bipolar Disorder:
❌ “Just get some sleep.”
When you say this, you mean well — you want your loved one to rest and reset. But for those of us with bipolar disorder, sleep doesn’t come easily. Insomnia is often the spark that sets off mania. We want to sleep — desperately — but our brains won’t allow it.
Telling someone to “just get some sleep” oversimplifies a serious, biological struggle. It’s not a lack of effort; it’s chemistry. Medications and structured sleep routines are often the only way to restore balance.
Try this instead:
Invite calm into the moment. Sit with us in stillness. Suggest winding down together with a quiet activity — deep breathing, soft music, or dim lights. What we crave most is reassurance that we aren’t alone in the silence.
