Bipolar: How Much You’ve Learned
Published: Sat, 07/30/11
Hi ,
How's it going for you today?
I hope it's a good day for you.
Have you ever thought about how
things were in the beginning when your
loved one was first diagnosed compared
to how things are now?
I know how frustrating things can be
sometimes, because I'm a supporter,
too, but...
Sometimes it helps to think back to
how helpless you felt back before
your loved one was diagnosed and
before you had any information on
bipolar disorder to begin with.
Then think of how much you've
learned since then, and how much
your loved one has, hopefully, also
learned since then about how to manage
his/her bipolar disorder.
In my courses/systems below:
SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?

SUPPORTING A CHILD/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?

HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?

Of course I teach many things about how
to manage bipolar disorder and how to
deal with it, both for survivors and for
their loved ones.
But think about it -
In the beginning, you knew nothing
about the disorder.
All you knew was that your loved one
just wasn't "normal," just wasn't
"themselves."
But now you know so much more,
don't you?
Hopefully, you've done some research,
gotten educated, read my material, and
at least I know you've been learning
from these emails.
Educating yourself is the main thing,
as I teach in my courses/systems.
You have to learn as much as you can
about the disorder in order to help your
loved one.
It's like you have this enemy that
you're fighting, and the enemy isn't
your loved one, it's bipolar disorder.
In any war, they tell you to know your
enemy.
In order to know your enemy, you have
to know as much about your enemy
as you can.
So I encourage you, keep learning.
Keep studying. Keep reading.
Keep researching.
Never stop growing in knowledge,
for the more you know, the better
equipped you are to deal with the
disorder and your loved one.
- Keep researching on the Internet
- Order BP Magazine or read it online
- Read books about it
- Visit your local library
- Research online articles or at your
Library periodicals section
- Go to your loved one's bipolar
support group for f.ree literature
- Ask your loved one's doctor for
f.ree pamphlets
Keep learning as much about bipolar disorder
as you can...
...so you can stay in control of it instead of
it in control of you and your loved one.
Remember, knowledge is power!
And that knowledge empowers you in the fight
against bipolar disorder.
So keep learning as much as you can about
the disorder, and don't give up.
Think of how much you've learned.
What do you think?
