Bipolar: Money Doesn’t Matter
Published: Sat, 02/11/12
Hi ,
How are you feeling today?
I hope you're feeling well.
Have you ever heard the expression:
"They were born with a silver spoon in
their mouth."
I'm not saying it's a very nice expression, but
it means that someone was born into wealth...
Or that they haven't had to work for what
they've gotten in life...
Or that things have come very easy to them.
It's usually said by someone who is jealous of
the person, that's why it's not a very nice expression.
But there is a little bit of truth to it.
There are some people who are wealthy...
Who don't have to work very hard to get what they
want in life.
Then there are others who are the opposite.
They have to work very hard to get what they
want in life.
It really should be that it doesn't matter whether
you have money or not...
It should be that your character itself is what gets
you ahead in this world.
Character should determine whether you succeed
or fail...
NOT money.
So like with bipolar disorder.
Money definitely does NOT determine whether
you succeed or fail with the disorder, that's for
sure!
You can have all the money in the world and still
fail at bipolar disorder.
Or the recovery from it, I mean.
What I'm saying is that bipolar disorder is no
discriminator of people.
It hits both the wealthy and the poor.
It doesn't care whether you've got money or not.
So you can have two people, one who's wealthy
and one who's poor...
And their money won't determine which one
recovers and which one doesn't...
Depending on which one WANTS to recover
the most!
I think that can really be the determining factor,
if you ask me.
Because there are certain things, like the things I
talk about in my courses/systems, that your loved
one can do to help them get stability with their
bipolar disorder:

You know...
Like to get stability, they must take their medication
every day...
And see their doctor, psychiatrist, and therapist when
they're supposed to.
Then, once they get stability, there are certain
things they can (and must) do to maintain their
stability with their bipolar disorder.
Like...
Of course, they need to keep doing what it took to get
stable to begin with, that's a given.
But they also need to do other things, like:
- Have a good, strong support system (that
includes their medical and mental health
professionals, but also friends and family
members, coworkers if they work, community
members, neighbors, pharmacist, clergy person,
etc.).
- Attend (and be involved with) a bipolar
support group.
- Be well-groomed and care about themselves
and their appearance and general well-being.
- Have a general routine that they stick to every
day.
- Have a reason to get out of bed every morning;
i.e., have goals, both long-term and short-term
that they want to meet.
- Be productive and have things they want to
accomplish (a To-Do List is good for this).
- Work a job (usually part-time, or have a home
business).
- Have hobbies and do things they enjoy.
- Exercise (at least 3 times a week).
- Eat a nutritious well-balanced diet.
- Stick to a good sleep schedule.
They need to be well-grounded and well-balanced,
physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually
as well.
