Problem: Article: One way you can pursue and maintain friendships is to commit to your treatment. When you take your medication and make the lifestyle changes as your doctor instructed, you should be able to manage your bipolar depression well. Skipping your medication or ignoring your treatment can cause unstable moods, which can hurt your friendships. Following your doctor’s prescribed treatment helps you maintain your quality of life and enables you to have positive relationships with others. Make sure to talk to you doctor first if you are considering going off of your medication(s). Sometimes, large groups can be overwhelming and cause your moods to become unstable. This may especially be true if you are with a bunch of people you don’t know. To help with this, interact in small groups.  Meet with a few friends at a time, or choose to go to places with smaller amounts of people, like coffee shops or movie theaters. You can find people who share your interests on sites like Meetup.com. When you are meeting people for the first time, or when you are talking to people you’ve known for a while, you should listen to the other person more than you talk. Bipolar disorder can sometimes make your focus only on yourself, so try to put the focus on the other person. For example, you can ask questions, such as, “Why did you choose to be a teacher” or “How did you get into knitting?” Due to your bipolar disorder, you may find yourself reacting certain ways due to your mood disorder. You may get angry and yell at your friend, you may try to push them away, or you may just stop calling them. You should set boundaries for your friendship so that both of you can be fulfilled by the friendship.  For example, you may tell your friend, “If I cancel on you, try to reach out to me during the next week. I will meet you halfway by answering the phone or returning your call within a few days. If I do not return your call, I realize that is my fault and not yours. If I continue to ignore you, I understand that you may not want to be friends with.” If you have mood swings, you may tell your friends, “I understand that my mental illness is no reason to take it out on you. If I get angry, upset, or emotional, you should leave. We can try to talk a few days afterwards when my mood has balanced back out.” Whether you have just become friends with someone or have been friends with them for a long time, you should refrain from being needy and give them space. Your bipolar depression may make you feel abandoned or like you want to be around your friend all the time to believe they like you. Remember that your friend has a life and other friends. That doesn’t mean they don’t like you. Give them the space they deserve.  Avoid calling too many times or writing e-mails when you feel needy. Things you say or do may be your bipolar and not you. Remind yourself that your friends like you, but that doesn’t mean they have to be around you all the time.
Summary: Commit to treatment. Interact in small groups. Listen to others. Establish boundaries with your friends. Give your friend space.

The Spanish language uses the same vowels that are used in the English language, "a," "e," "i," "o," and "u."  There are five vowel sounds that you should become familiar with.  Unlike the English language, each of these vowels always makes the same sound in every single word.  Also remember that vowels are never silent when you are pronouncing Spanish words. " The letter "a" in Spanish is sounds like the "a" in the word "father." If a Spanish word has more than one "a," all of the "a"s will make the same sound (e.g. mañana). "Mañana" sounds like "mah-nya-nah"    The long "a" found in words such as "blame" or "name" is never used when you speak Spanish. " The letter "e" in Spanish sounds like the "e" in "weigh" or the "a" in the word "late."  For example, "pero" should sound like you are saying "pay-ro." The long "e" sound in words like "need" or "speed" are not used when you are speaking Spanish. "  The letter "i" in Spanish sounds like the "i" in the word "machine."  The Spanish "i" also sounds like the long "e" in the word "be."  Never pronounce "i" with the sound used in the word "hide," "if," or "hit." For example, "hija" sounds like "ee-ha." " The letter "o" in Spanish is always pronounced as a long "o" in the English language.  Spanish "o"s sound like the "o" in the word "no."  Avoid pronouncing the "o" that is used in the word "opportunity" and "other."  For example, "como" sounds like "koh-moh." "  The letter "u" in Spanish is pronounced like the "u" in the word "lunar."  This letter only makes one sound in the Spanish language.  In English, words that begin with the letter "u" (e.g. useful, utilize) make a "y" sound.  However, do not use this pronunciation of the letter "u" when you pronounce Spanish words. "Cúrcuma" sounds like "koor-koo-mah." The letter "u" never makes the sound found in the word "flutter" or "ultimate" either. Native English speakers have a tendency to drag out vowel sounds.  Spanish vowels should be pronounced using short sounds.  For example, in English you may pronounce the word "hey," as "heeeeey."  Instead, keep the pronunciation short as if you are saying "late."  Elongating the sound of your vowels when you speak Spanish will alert others that you are not a native Spanish speaker and can make it more difficult for other people to understand what you are saying. A diphthong is two vowels next to each other.  When you see this, pronounce the sound of the first vowel and then pronounce the sound of the second vowel.  Practice until you can say the two sounds as one syllable.  You will have to make the sounds quickly and not drag out the sounds of each individual vowel. For example, "feo" sounds like "feh-oh,"cuando" sounds like "kooahn-doh", and "suizo" sounds like "sooee-soh."
