article: You may be able to manage the intensity of a manic episode or cut it short if you're aware of the early warning signs. Record your symptoms and mood to help you find your personal triggers. If you notice signs of mania, try to relax yourself and stick closely to your routine. Here are the common warning signs of a manic episode: Needing less sleep Doing more activities than normal Feeling energetic and fidgety Trouble concentrating Talking very fast Being hungry a lot Feeling irritable These medications help control your moods and manage your highs and lows. It's important to take a mood stabilizer to make it easier for you to control your behavior. Talk to your doctor about taking a mood stabilizer to help you treat your bipolar symptoms. Side effects of mood stabilizers include weight gain, drowsiness, weakness, fatigue, tremors, excessive thirst, increased urination, stomach pain, thyroid problems, memory and concentration problems, nausea, vertigo, and diarrhea. Creating order in your life can help you stay in control when you start to feel manic. Make a list of the things you need to do, like making healthy meals, bathing, going to work, paying bills, doing chores, and winding down before bed. Then, create a routine that ensures you get everything done and still get proper sleep. Do your best to stick to your routine. Spend the hour before bed de-stimulating yourself. Avoid screens, take a warm bath, and read. Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. Don't try to pack too many things into your routine, as this can trigger a manic episode. While relaxation exercises won't stop a manic episode, they can help you manage some of your symptoms. Start your relaxation exercises as soon as you recognize the signs of a manic episode to help them be as effective as possible. Here are some relaxation exercises you can try: Breathing exercises Meditation Progressive muscle relaxation Unfortunately, stimulants can make your condition worse or may trigger it altogether. Similarly, alcohol can make you feel irritable and may disrupt your mood. To prevent this, cut caffeine, alcohol, and stimulants out of your diet. Replace them with foods and drinks that help you feel calm, like chamomile tea. Switch out regular coffee for decaf. If you like tea, switch to caffeine-free herbal teas. Mania can make your behavior erratic, which you may not realize. However, if you feel like you're out of control, don't hesitate to ask for help. Talk to a trusted friend or loved one and tell your doctor. They can help you manage your energy, mood, and decision making until you start to feel more stable. You might say, "I feel like things aren't making sense right now. Can you help me?" or "I don't think I'm making the best decisions. Will you help me call my doctor?"

article: Yes, there are a lot of reasons a person may feel sad: a job loss, the loss of a loved one, poor relationships, a traumatic event, or other stress. At some point in time, everyone will experience a reason to be sad. Feeling sad occasionally is normal. The major difference between sadness and depression is the focus. When you are sad, your feelings arise from a specific event or situation. Once that event changes or time passes, the sadness fades. Depression, on the other hand, affects your thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and behaviors. You don't just feel sad about one thing, you feel sad about everything. And, despite your trying to pull yourself out of this mood, the feeling sticks. You can feel depressed and not even have a reason to attribute to it. Depression also can manifest as a persistent empty feeling or a lack of enthusiasm for many things. Depression isn't just "all in your head." Research demonstrates that it's a bodily illness, and thus requires medical attention. Here's what's happening: Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers that relay messages between brain cells. Abnormal levels of neurotransmitters are thought to play a role in depression. Changes in hormone balance may cause depression. Such changes can include thyroid problems, menopause, or a recent pregnancy. Physical changes have been observed in the brains of individuals who are depressed. The significance is unknown, but such observations may someday pinpoint the cause of depression. Depression often runs in families. This suggests that there are genes specific to depression, researchers are actively working on identifying them.Reading that depression is genetic and that your kids are possibly at greater risk for depression can lead to feelings of guilt. Remember that you have no control over your genetic makeup. It is not your fault. Instead, take control over what you can. Be a good role model for fighting depression, and get help. It's important to note that depression can be as unique as the individuals who suffer from it. Not every person will experience the same symptoms - some people will have few symptoms in a mild intensity and others will experience many severe symptoms. For some, depression may affect them once in life, while others experience chronic depressive symptoms. The signs and symptoms of depression are: Persistent sadness or emptiness Changes in appetite (i.e. eating too much or too little) Weight fluctuations Sleep disruption Hopelessness or pessimism Feeling fatigued or lacking energy Feeling worthless, guilty, or helpless Lacking interest in normally pleasurable activities Problems concentrating or making decisions Restlessness and irritability Suicidal thoughts Physical symptoms, such as pain or headaches

Be careful with items of clothing that could snag on your earrings. See a doctor if you notice signs of infection that last several days."
article:
When you first get your ears pierced, the piercing technician inserts starter earrings. These earrings are made from hypo-allergenic materials that are safe to keep in your ears. Leave them in your ears both day and night for at least 4 weeks or your piercings may close or heal improperly. The hypo-allergenic earrings should be made of surgical stainless steel, titanium, niobium, or 14- or 18-karat gold. If you get a cartilage ear piercing, you will need to leave the starter jewelry in for 3-5 months while it heals fully. Unnecessary handling of your piercings can lead to infection. Avoid touching them unless you are cleaning or inspecting them. If you do need to touch them, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water first. Swimming can lead to a transfer of bacteria to your new piercings, resulting in an infection. Steer clear of pools, rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water while your ears are healing. If you use a hot tub, avoid submerging your body deep enough in the water to get your ears wet. Keep your clothing away from your earrings while they heal. Pulling or friction can cause irritation and slow down the healing process. Avoid wearing hats that cover your ears and be careful when getting dressed and undressed to avoid injury. If you wear a veil, choose a fabric that won't snag easily. Try to wear very loose veils and avoid wearing the same veil multiple times without washing it. If your ears are painful and swollen a week or more after you get them pierced, they may be infected. Visit your doctor to have them checked if you notice pus or thick, dark discharge. Infected skin around the piercings will also likely be red or deep pink in color. Serious piercing infections may require drainage and oral antibiotics.
