El trastorno bipolar es una enfermedad que se caracteriza más específicamente por los cambios de humor salvaje (aunque hay variaciones en los tipos bipolares). Los períodos de intensa depresión son seguidos por períodos de euforia o manía intensa. Hay personas que utilizan crochet para ayudarles a lidiar tanto con la depresión y la manía del trastorno. Ganchillo también se puede utilizar durante un estado llamado hipomanía, que es un período transitorio entre “normal” y maníacos. Lo más importante, ganchillo se puede utilizar para ayudar a los estados de ánimo moderadas, que es un objetivo importante del tratamiento bipolar.

Crochet para la depresión

Crochet puede ayudar a las personas en la fase bipolar de la depresión por las mismas razones que ayuda con cualquier otra forma de depresión clínica. Estas razones incluyen:

  • Crochet is a positive activity that stops the cycle of rumination that can cause depression to spiral out of control.
  • Crochet has the potential to build self-esteem. Low self-esteem is a major problem for people with depressive disorders.
  • Crochet can create a sense of connection to others, which is critical to the successful treatment of depression.

Crochet for Mania

Manic phases are characterized by hyperactivity, irritability and anger, racing thoughts, insomnia, poor judgment and reckless behavior. They can be highly destructive. Crochet can help in the following ways:

  • Crochet induces a state of calm.
  • Individuals can teach themselves to engage in productive crafting during manic periods to resist the urge to engage in more reckless behavior.
  • One individual posting on the Life, Love and Bipolar forum board shared, “On nights when I am manic, I knit or crochet and the repetitiveness sometimes numbs my brain or slows it down and I can go to bed and not stay up all night!"

Crochet During Hypomania

Whereas mania itself is characterized by restlessness, recklessness and disordered thinking hypomania is an excited state in which a lot of energy, optimism, self-confidence and productivity can occur. If channeled properly, hypomanic states can be a terrific time for intense creativity. If you are someone who crochets, this can be the time when you begin truly creating your own innovative designs, por ejemplo.

Crochet to Moderate Moods

In addition to being useful during all three phases of bipolar disorder, crochet can be used to moderate moves and prevent drastically slipping from one phase to the next. Este es uno de los objetivos principales de la mayoría de los planes de tratamiento bipolar. Mantener un horario regular de elaboración, establecer y cumplir los objetivos que hacen a mano y prestar atención a lo que dicen acerca de opciones de proyectos actuales estados de ánimo son todas maneras que las personas con trastorno bipolar pueden utilizar crochet para ayudar en el mantenimiento de un nivel estable. Ganchillo también es útil en el aprendizaje atención, que es una parte clave de muchos planes de tratamiento del trastorno bipolar.

Hola de nuevo! Una vez que comience leyendo los mensajes, no puedo dejar de. Me pregunto si la comunidad de salud mental se ha adoptado el uso de "grupos de ganchillo"? También sabes si crochet se sugiere a los pacientes bipolares por los proveedores de atención de la salud? I've been thinking about sending copies of your book to my addictionologist and to some in-patient Behavioral health facilities I'm familiar with. Do you think this would be something that would be welcomed?

@Sacredcrocheter Gracias de nuevo! I think it would be great to start reaching out to some of the professionals in the mental health community. I know that there are some places that do offer knitting and crochet groups but they seem to be few and far between. I'd love to see more people getting involved with that! One of my plans is to start letting people in those places know about the book but I haven't yet reached that stage of my marketing so any word that you can spread would certainly be welcome!

So glad you plan to include this in your marketing down the road-I am really passionate about finding ways to help people with mental illness. Probably because I'm one of them! I'll let you know if I get any feed back. One thing I'm concerned about is that they don't allow hooks on the locked wards. I'm thinking that they might accept some of the big big hooks made of wood-but if anyone has a better idea I'd love to know about it!

@Sacredcrocheter Sí, it's definitely part of my marketing plan along with approaching professors who teach subjects related to this topic. I know that there are crochet programs in prisons that allow the large plastic and wooden hooks under supervision so I would think that the same thing could be an option in locked ward facilities.
