Problem: Article: You have already taken the first step by explaining to your friends and family the basics of bipolar disorder. Now, encourage friends and family to take the extra step and thoroughly research your disorder on their own time. Ask them to read more on the disorder to help them understand it better. Encourage them to look at websites like the International Bipolar Foundation, which provide helpful information online. Additionally, if you are comfortable with it, suggest that they come to appointments with you. Speaking directly to the doctor about any questions or concerns can help them broaden their understanding of bipolar disorder. People who are feeling depressed sometimes isolate themselves. Let people know what they can do if you're struggling with a depressive episode at any point. Say something like, "Sometimes when I'm depressed I need extra social support. I would appreciate it if you could be there for me when I'm feeling down." People are often unsure what to do when someone is depressed. Let people know what you need specifically. For example, say something like, "I don't need to be coddled or talk about how I'm feeling a lot. Just having someone around to distract me is helpful. We could just watch a movie together." You want people to understand the warning signs that you're experiencing mania and depression. This can help them identify when you may need extra support. Begin with something like, "There are some signs I'm experiencing mania or depression that I think you should know about." To explain depression, say something like, "If I seem really quiet and disinterested in social events, I may be experiencing depression." To explain mania, say something like, "If I seem really energetic and unusually talkative, I may be going into a manic episode." Stress can worsen Bipolar Disorder, so let people know when you need a low-stress environment. For example, say something like, "When I'm depressed, I can't handle a lot of stress. Don't feel like I'm being rude if I cancel plans more frequently. Even small things, like going to see a movie, can cause me a lot of stress." Many people with Bipolar Disorder have certain restrictions. You may have to stay away from alcohol or certain foods, for example, due to medication. Let people know how they can support your lifestyle restrictions. For example, say something like, "Alcohol tends to make my depression worse, so I don't drink. I would appreciate it if you didn't invite me out to bars, because I tend to feel left out when other people are drinking."
Summary: Ask that friend and family members educate themselves. Ask for social support. Discuss your symptoms with family and friends. Talk about the importance of stress reduction. Request they support any restrictions on your lifestyle.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Just like there are Elvis people and Beatles people, there are two kinds of people in the world: smooth eaters and chunky eaters. The biggest and most important peanut butter decision is also the most fun. Do you like crunchy, chunky peanut butter, or smooth and creamy? There is no wrong answer. Some studies show that, in the United States, women who live on the East Coast will gravitate toward smooth peanut butter, while male Californians and other West Coasters will more often pick chunky. Go figure. Good peanut butter should only have two ingredients: peanuts, salt, and possibly a sweetener like honey or sugar. If you see added hydrogenated oils, steer clear. Natural peanut butter is more expensive because it contains the peanut oil, which will settle on the top of the jar and need to be stirred in before use. The most valuable product of the peanut is in the oil, which large food companies will extract from the peanuts ground into peanut butter, and then replace with sunflower oil. So, while it seems like you're getting whole ground-up peanuts in a jar of Skippy or Jif, you're really getting peanuts and the oil of other, cheaper nuts. While it might seem like a healthier alternative, peanut butters that are advertised as "reduced fat" usually include more hydrogenated oils and more sugars, but the same amount of calories, to account for the loss of fat. Essentially used as a marketing scheme, this ploy ignores the fact that healthy fats from natural peanut butter are more effective as sources of fats. Reduced fat peanut butter replaces mono saturated "healthy" fats with refined sugars and carbohydrates, causing blood sugar spikes. It's not good for you. . If you're a particular peanut butter eater, you might enjoy mixing up your own batches and perfecting your recipe. Pick nuts you like the taste of, grind them in a food processor, and add a small amount of honey or salt, to taste. As you grind, you might need to add a little oil to aid in the process. You can control the consistency and the flavor and make the kind of peanut butter you like. Remove the skins before grinding your peanuts on a high setting, adding oil as necessary. Use whatever peanuts you like to eat: Valencias, Virginias, Spanish peanuts, and Runners are all perfect for making peanut butter. Some prefer Spanish peanuts, because they have a slightly higher oil content. Raw peanuts can be used to make peanut butter, which will taste a little different than the more popular roasted variety. Try out honey-roasted peanuts for a special treat. You can also grind your own peanut butter at most natural food stores automatically. Like grinding coffee, these grinders will work quickly at the flick of a switch and give you freshly-ground peanut butter. It's pretty much the best and the easiest way to get it. Find one close to you and give it a try. Peanut butter is the classic stand-by, but if you're looking to spice it up a bit, you can experiment with other more exotic nut butters to throw a little variety into the mix. They're typically more expensive, but feature completely different flavors than the traditional peanut butter. Commonly available spread and butters are made from: Almond Cashew Sunflower seed Hazelnut Peanuts are ground nuts, or legumes, meaning that if you've got a peanut allergy, you might be fine with tree nuts, depending on the severity of your allergy. Find out if some of these alternatives might be more right for you. Why buy the jelly separately? You can also get peanut butter with mix-ins already included. Swirled grape jelly? Nutella? Marshmallow fluff? It's almost too good to be true. While these mixes sometimes have a slightly grainier texture than smooth peanut butter, if you're a fan of chunky, this can be a fun alternative, especially for kids.

SUMMARY: Pick chunky or smooth. Read the label and look at the ingredients. Avoid "reduced fat" peanut butter. Consider grinding your own Consider other nut butters. Try mixed peanut butters.
