7．Overcoming feelings of defeat is not only possible，but very important as we want to prevent the"other side"of being bipolar（兩極性的） getting you down．Such feelings and thoughts can cause a major depressive episode（抑郁階段）；so we must look at the events and possibly poor decisions and impulse behaviors of the manic（狂躁的）episode from a balanced and objective view．We can then correct and improve our prevention and action plans to prevent another manic episode from being caused in the future．
There are two areas that you will want to focus on while recovering from a manic episode．The first is self-education．And the second is the education of your family and friends．Your self-education process will consist of taking an objective look at recent events．Take note of what you were thinking and feeling．Note your triggers．Track your recent behaviors，especially the ones that might have caused negative responses from family and friends．You cannot change anything in the past or the events that have led to here and now．But you can move them aside from yourself and look at the events from an objective point of view and assess the distorted（扭曲的） thoughts that you have had．You can then assess what caused distorted thinking that might have led to bad behaviors．You can assess what makes you feel vulnerable （易受傷害的）．From this information you can change your wellness and action plan and make adjustments to your lifestyle and relationships to prevent another manic episode or to teach other people how to help you．
This leads us to the second area of focus---educating your friends and family．There is no better time than the present for this．Consider setting an appointment with your therapist（精神治療家） and asking your most trusted family member，your spouse or a very trusted friend，to come with you to an appointment．During this appointment，you will have your therapist share with your loved one to receive first-hand education about your condition and they will clearly know that you need support and understanding．This is beyond simple psycho-education about bipolar disorder and what bipolar disorder is．Indeed，your family，loved ones，spouse and friends，will benefit from learning this and I encourage you to encourage them to attend family support groups where they will learn more and more．but in addition to this，appointments with your therapist can make a huge difference．Over time，you might even be able to persuade your family to get involved in family therapy with you．
Remember，your past does not define you．Your mental illness does not define who you are as a human being．You were born with innate （先天的）gifts and talents．You are a good human being and you deserve to be treated as such．So，you must also treat yourself with love，respect and understanding．Often，it is the sufferer who is hardest on himself or herself．Check your negative thoughts and thoughts of self-judgment and criticism，and use your positive thinking skills to change those．Get back into the world，volunteer and visit friends．
