The Warning Sign Map

A personal early-warning framework. Most episodes don’t arrive — they accumulate. Track drift from baseline before drift becomes the episode.

The small shifts: sleep deficit, irritability creep, racing thoughts, social withdrawal. Catch yourself on the way up or down, not after.

Support

Help Without Shrinking

A practical guide for loved ones, allies, colleagues. Without the platitudes. What actually helps during an episode, how to bring up depression without making it weird, when to step in, when to step back.

By bipolar people, for people who want to show up well — and who’d rather ask than guess.

Protect

Dignity-Preserving Crisis Plan

Name what you need — and what you refuse — before the moment that tests it. Hospital preferences, medication history, emergency contacts, what calms you, what escalates you.

Crisis planning as self-authorship, not surrender. A document for the version of you that can’t advocate in the room.

Defend

The Work Protection Kit

Tools for disclosure, accommodation, and navigating employment systems built for narrower minds. Templates, scripts, and the legal scaffolding most HR pages won’t hand you.

Whether to disclose. When. To whom. How to ask for what you need without trading away your standing.
