 Loving Someone with Bipolar Disorder June 14, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Loving Someone with Bipolar Disorder by Julie A. Fast is a very important book for my family. We have recently started this journey upon receiving news of a bipolar diagnosis for someone we love. Although this book is intended for a partner, it is very helpful for anyone who loves someone in this situation. I was so ignorant about the condition, I almost swallowed this book whole out of a desperate need for answers. This book did, indeed, provide many answers, but it does much more than that. It gives a realistic hope and walks people through a dynamic process that will help all involved to grow in their understanding of the person they love and the issues they constantly deal with. I admire Julie's honest vulnerability about her journey on this path; her courage for "going public"; and her everyday practicality in explaining the process. It has given me and my family a workable plan for supporting someone we love, and hope for a manageable future. Thank you, Julie!

I had this book recommended to me by a social worker. She had actually not read. I think this book is mandatory reading for anyone who has been supporting and enduring someone who has bipolar disorder. I believe that had I encountered this book (and if my husband would have acknowledged his ailment) our marriage could have been saved. I also think that, although the book is written for supporters of people with the disorder, sufferers should read it as well. Through it they can better understand that there is hope for them, for their relationships, and also understand what their behaviors do to their loved ones. The book is (in my case would have been)so helpful that I loaned to the social worker with the expectation that it will help her with her patients and their families.

I purchased 2 books for our family; my mother-in-law has bipolar. Julie Fast is an INNOVATIVE expert & shares her life. I'm not having a relationship with my mother-in-law now because I am one of her triggers.
Hopefully, the other family members will read the books & learn. Right now I don't believe they are reading it & hospitalization has occurred twice.
I indeed have & continue to be able to show mercy to my in-laws. Without this author, I would have a difficult time with forgiving them.
Thank you, Julie Fast for your continual newsletters & calling of your life. You are a blessing to many; these books are worth more than your asking price!!!!!

I found this book to provide direct information about Bi-polar disorder. The writers don't hold anything back. Bi-polar disorder is very destructive and can devastate a family. I feel the writer's offers practical help if one is committed to a relationship with someone that suffers from Bi-polar disorder.

I was very disappointed in this book. It did very little to make me feel hopeful about my relationship with someone who suffers from bipolar. It places all the responsibility of avoiding triggers on the healthy spouse. The person with bipolar has no responsibility in monitoring behaviors, medications, physical, or emotional health. It sends a very unhealthy message. I believe that ultimately it is up to the person with bipolar to manage the disease with the help of a well-informed doctor, loving and understanding family members, and loyal, supportive friends.
