Knowing your signs and symptoms will
change your life.
Signs are what others can see
when you are struggling.
Symptoms are what you are
feeling on the inside when you
are struggling.
When you can recognize
your own signs and symptoms
before you reach a crisis point
you will have a better life.
Early looks like feeling tired.
Worsening looks like difficulty
falling asleep.
Crisis looks like not sleeping
or sleeping all the time.
I will admit that everyone is
different. So take some
time to think about the last
time you were struggling.
Write down what you were
thinking,
feeling,
doing alot of, and
not doing anymore.
Reflect on how you got to
that point.
What thoughts, feelings,
experiences came before.
What people, places, and
things are around when you
have those thoughts, feelings,
and actions.
Now you are building an
awareness of your triggers,
signs, and symptoms.
Share this list with someone
you trust and ask for their
input.
As you build this list and
it becomes a part of your
self-awareness, you will
be able to use coping
skills more effectively.
