Bipolar: Just Going in Circles
Published: Tue, 03/26/13
Hi ,
How's it going for you today?
I hope it's a good day for you.
I have a friend who's really into car racing.
I think he's a fanatic.
But his girlfriend doesn't understand the concept
of a bunch of cars driving in circles going nowhere,
until eventually they've driven enough and
someone is declared the winner.
That's how she sees it.
People driving around in circles.
Actually, she said, "And they call that a sport?"
LOL
But it made me think of going in circles, and how
that relates to bipolar disorder.
Because you may be doing the same thing -
Going around in circles with no destination (goal)
to reach.
Remember the definition of insanity:
Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting
different results.
Well, you may be doing that.
Think about it.
Do you feel purpose in what you're doing?
Or do you feel like you're in the same rut day
after day?
Do you, in fact, feel like you're going in circles
sometimes?
Well, that's what I'm talking about.
If you don't feel like you're making progress, you
might just be going in circles.
Why?
Because you're doing the same thing over and over
again and getting the same results.
In my courses/systems, I make it a point to talk about
goal-setting, and how it will keep you productive -
in other words, not going in circles.

If you or your loved one is going in circles,
something needs to change.
It could be your loved one's medication.
If you don't feel it is adequately treating their
bipolar disorder, talk to their doctor about it.
They may need a medication change or change
in dosage of their current medications.
If you are going in circles...
It could be your environment.
If you are in a stressful environment, you need
to change that.
If when you get around certain people, you get
nervous and anxious -
Then you might want to consider a different set
of friends.
If you're working, it could be your job.
You may need to change a part of your job routine
so that you don't feel like you're doing the same thing
day after day.
But if the job does entail doing the same thing day
after day, having you going in circles, you may have
to consider changing jobs.
It could be your relationship.
If you feel like things between you and your loved one
just keep going in circles -
Then you have to change something.
Perhaps your communication needs to be clearer.
If your loved one is going in circles...
It could be idleness, laziness, or just plain non-
productivity.
That can lead to depression, and depression leads
right back to non-productivity.
Talk about going in circles!
Even if it means that it makes you uncomfortable,
if you feel like you're just going in circles, you need
to change.
First, take a look at yourself to see what needs to be
changed.
Then look around at your environment to see what
needs to be changed.
Then look at your life and see what needs to be changed.
What do you think?
