Bipolar: Do You Know This Type of Person?
Published: Wed, 01/30/13
Hi ,
How's it going for you?
I hope today is a good day for you.
Do you know a complainer?
Someone who always complains about their
situation and their problems, but doesn't seem
to have any solutions for them?
Do you know a blamer?
I think they're related to complainers, to tell
you the truth.
They blame their situation and all their problems
on something else (or someone).
These two types of people are REAL people!
I know, I've met them at bipolar support group
meetings.
They will complain about their problems with
their loved one.
They will even complain about their loved one
themselves.
And/or they will blame all their problems on
bipolar disorder.
Or, worse yet, on their loved one.
There's one thing that these two types of people
definitely are NOT.
And that is solution-oriented.
That's what you need to be, like I teach in my
courses/systems:

Being solution-oriented means that you don't
complain or blame.
You take responsibility.
You look for solutions.
You even look "outside the box" sometimes for
answers.
It means that you are willing.
Willing to admit you don't know the solution
right now...
But you sure will look for one.
You are willing to try different solutions, too, to
see what works and what doesn't work.
Like your loved one may have to do with their
medications.
They may have to try different ones to see which
ones will work for them.
Being solution-oriented means that you will not
always end up on the popular side of an opinion.
But you stick to your guns and do what's right for
YOUR loved one and family anyway.
You must be motivated as well.
See...
Complainers and blamers just sit around giving
"lip service" to what they say.
They don't look for or offer any real solution to
their situation or problem.
They are lazy.
Solving problems can be hard work.
But it's worth it in the end.
Say you look at a problem that you and/or your
loved one have and you look for ways to solve
it.
You may come across a totally off-the-wall way
to solve it, and do that.
It may not be the easiest thing to do...
It may not be what someone else would do...
But it WORKS for YOU!
So you stay solution-oriented.
Being solution-oriented also means that you look
at a problem every way that you can.
Then you look at solutions every way that you
can.
The answer to your problems may not be obvious,
but if you keep looking, you will find them.
There have been times when I have come up
with a solution that other people thought was
impossible, or the wrong thing to do, but it
worked.
What about you?
