Success with Bipolar Disorder
Published: Sun, 08/12/12
Hi ,
How's it going for you today?
I hope it's a good day for you.
What is success to you?
A mother told her son that for him to be a success
it was not in how much money he made, but in how
honest a man he was, and how good a husband
and father he was.
Many people define success in many different
ways.
Webster's dictionary defines success as: "favorable
or desired outcome."
Some synonyms for success are:
- Achievement
- Accomplishment
- Victory
- Triumph
- Feat
- Realization
- Attainment
Today I want to talk about success with bipolar
disorder.
I know, you probably haven't even thought of the
concept before.
But it's one of the things I talk about in my courses/
systems, and it's something that is possible with
bipolar disorder, as it relates to those synonyms.

Now...
I didn't say that success with bipolar disorder
would be easy.
Don't get me wrong.
I just said that it is possible.
Although there is still no cure for bipolar disorder
at this point, there is treatment for it.
And because there is treatment for it...
There is the possibility for stability.
And stability can bring with it the remission
of symptoms.
And although the remission of symptoms isn't
a cure, it's the next best thing.
It's like being in remission with cancer.
The disease never really goes away, but you don't
have the symptoms of it any more.
To me, that is success.
As much success as you can have with bipolar
disorder at this point, anyway.
Ok...
So let's talk about how you can get success with
bipolar disorder, or get to the point where you no
longer have the symptoms of it.
First of all...
Your best bet is going to be medication.
I know you don't want to think of taking medication
every day for the rest of your life, but if it means
having no symptoms, will that make it easier for
you to take it?
Medication keeps the symptoms of bipolar disorder
at bay.
It balances out the mood swings...
And for those people who suffer from hallucinations
and delusions, antipsychotic medication helps allay
those symptoms as well.
But the important thing is that you take your medication
every day religiously.
That is your greatest chance for success with your bipolar
disorder.
Another thing that will help you to achieve success with
bipolar disorder is to see your doctor, psychiatrist, therapist,
and other professionals on a regular basis as scheduled.
Don't miss appointments, as that can easily derail your
treatment success.
Another point toward your success efforts would be the
establishment of a good, strong support system.
The people in your support system will help you as you
try to manage your disorder, and will help you in your
goals toward getting better and finding success.
There is the possibility of getting better, getting stable,
and finding success with your bipolar disorder.
And there are some things you can do to achieve that
success, like I've talked about.
What do you think?
