Bipolar? Sometimes Miracles Hide
Published: Sun, 05/22/11
Hi ,
How are you today?
I hope you're doing good.
We've all heard of miracles
happening to people.
Maybe you've even experienced
a miracle in your own life.
Or maybe you don't believe in
miracles.
Bruce Carroll sang a song called,
"Sometimes Miracles Hide."
And people claim to be healed of life-
threatening diseases like cancer
all the time.
Wouldn't you love it if your loved
one were miraculously cured of
bipolar disorder?
Oh, I'm not talking about those fake
miracle cures you see on the Internet.
I'm talking about a real miracle cure.
What if the miracle cure is just "hiding,"
like the song says?
It would be nice, wouldn't it?
Miracles are great. When they happen.
But what do you do in the meantime?
I mean, barring any miracle cure being
discovered, your loved one is still
going to wake up tomorrow and have
bipolar disorder.
And you'll wake up still having to deal
with the fact that your loved one has
bipolar disorder.
What you do in the meantime is what
I teach in my courses/systems: How to
manage bipolar disorder.

What you have to do is deal with the
reality of the situation.
Your loved one has bipolar disorder.
And sometimes it's hard to deal with
that, but you have to.
You can pray for a miracle, but you
still have to cope while you're waiting.
So what do you do?
Well, that is up to you and your loved one.
There have been some real tragedies
where people have claimed to be healed
miraculously of their bipolar disorder,
so they went off their medication and
ended up killing themselves in a bipolar
episode.
So what's the most important thing to do?
You make sure that your loved one
stays on their medications.
But there's other things you should do
as well.
You make sure that they go to see
their doctor, psychiatrist and therapist
when they're supposed to.
You make sure that they stick to a good
sleep schedule.
You make sure that they eat right and
exercise.
You make sure that their life is as
stress-free as possible.
You make sure that they have a strong
support system (besides just you).
You make sure that you're the best
supporter you can be.
Show your loved one unconditional love.
Listen to them when they talk to you -
both to what they do say and to what
they don't say.
Be encouraging.
Remind them that you are there for them
and that they are not alone in their battle
against bipolar disorder.
Make the most of the normal periods
between episodes.
Be alert, and watch for signs and symptoms
of an episode, no matter how long it's
been since the last one.
Keep yourself healthy - both physically
and emotionally, so you can be strong.
And be positive.
Stay hopeful that, miracle or not, your
loved one can be stable and successful
with bipolar disorder.
Sometimes miracles are of the man-made
kind.
