双向的自助治疗——STOP YOUR MOOD SWINGS FROM HAPPENING

???????

Knowledge[/b:f43935f0f9]

Find out as much as you can about your illness and how you can be helped. At the end of this leaflet you will find some helpful sources of information.

Stress[/b:f43935f0f9]

Avoid stressful situations - we know that these can trigger off a manic or depressive episode. We can??t avoid all stress in our life, so it??s also helpful to learn how to handle stress better. You can do relaxation training yourself with audio cassette tapes, join a relaxation group or seek advice from a clinical psychologist. Your GP will be able to help you find what you need locally.

Relationships[/b:f43935f0f9]

We all need people we feel close to and with whom we can share both the good and bad things in our lives. Without them it can be difficult to feel good about ourselves or to be happy. However, episodes of depression or mania can cause great strain on friends and family - you may find that you have to rebuild some relationships after such a time. It??s important that you have at least one person that you can rely on and confide in. When you are well you should explain the illness to people who are important to you, so that they know what to expect and understand it.

Activities[/b:f43935f0f9]
It is vital to balance your life between work, leisure and relationships with your family and friends. A lot of people with manic depression tend to get too busy when they feel well - it??s important not to do this.

Make sure that you have enough time to relax and unwind. If you are unemployed, think about taking courses or doing some volunteer work that has nothing to do with mental illness

阻止情绪起伏的发生

1.        了解
尽量了解你的疾病和获得帮助的方法。在本页末你可以找到一些信息来源。
2.        压力
避免压力――我们知道有压力的情况会诱发躁狂或抑郁。我们不能避免生活中的所有压力，所以学会如何更好地处理压力非常有益。你可以录音带对自己做些放松训练，加入一个放松的团体（译者注：这个词翻得别扭，应该是像瑜珈班什么的）或咨询心理医师。你的全科医师可以帮你在当地找到需要的帮助。
3.        交往
我们都需要亲密的人和可以分担生活中好坏事情的人。没有他们我们很难感觉好或高兴。但抑郁或躁狂可能对朋友和家人产生影响――你会发现你必须在此时重塑一些关系。至少有一个可以依赖和倾述的人是很重要的。在你正常时可以向对你重要的人解释你的疾病，这样他们就会有它有所理解和准备。
4.        活动
平衡工作、休闲和与家人朋友的关系至关重要。许多躁郁症患者在感觉好时特别忙碌――不要这样，这点很重要。
一定要保证有充分时间放松。如果失业了，考虑参加一些培训或做些与精神类疾病无关的志愿工作。

昨天老婆非常烦躁，我知道是我给她带来了太大的压力。
可是在她难过的时候，我突然觉得很强大，我可以去安慰她，感觉挺好的。
但今天早上醒来，我又突然觉得，她如果还是烦躁，那是件多么痛苦的事情啊。不是对我，而是对她。
开始理解所谓的对朋友和家人的压力了。
