BiPolar Disorder!

By Tessa Dean May 2024

I am constantly moody due to my BiPolar Disorder. My moods are constantly changing from mania to depression. My medication regimen helps to keep them under partial control but isn’t able to control them completely. 

Many people claim that the seasons make a difference in how we react to BiPolar Disorder, but while I will say that cold, rainy days make my depression deeper, I don’t think they actually control my moods. I also find the extreme heat of summer to be a problem as well. I am cranky in the extreme heat, but again, I don’t blame that on the BiPolar Disorder. Many people are cranky in the heat. It is uncomfortable, just like the extreme cold. My favorite season is spring. It is warm, but not excessively so most of the time. A sunny day will lift my mood from a deep depression.

Published by Tessa

My name is Tessa Dean and I am an author and blogger. My writing styles vary and I love writing using prompts. I am also writing my first book, a Memoir entitled "Government Property - A Memoir of a Military Wife".  This is being published on the blog rather than the traditional way. I am putting up chapters as I go along. I keep my blog filled with useful content, stories, and poems. Plenty to keep you busy. I have also been interviewed by blogs and had other posts published on many different blogs. I also wrote a series of articles on Bipolar Disorder for IBPF (International Bipolar Foundation). I am in my 60’s and disabled which allows me plenty of time to write to my heart’s content. I live in southern New Jersey and have 3 children and 5 grandchildren. My oldest grandchild is a Sargent in the United States Marine Corps.

  1. Thanks for joining in Tessa. I don’t like the heat and so the Summer is a really bad time for me. In the winter, if I am cold, it’s usually either minus 10 outside or I’m ill. My post cancer meds give me hot flushes so I take them at night. Hubby says I’m like a hot water bottle that never goes cold.

    1. I suffer from hot flashes as well. It seems like everyone here is always cold and the nurses and aides like coming into my room to get out of the heat. Once summer hits I hope the air conditioning works well. I have it on right now, trying to take the heat out of my room.
