Bipolar: The Plot of Your Movie Can Change
Published: Fri, 06/28/13
Hi ,
How's your day going today?
I hope you're having a great one.
You know the most important part of any movie,
right?
It's not the title.
It's not the director.
It's not the actors (even if they are the biggest
stars in Hollywood).
It's the PLOT.
Without a good plot (a good story), it doesn't matter
how good the director is, or even how good the
actors (stars) are.
The only way a movie is going to be good is if it
has a good plot.
Well, in a way we can compare our lives with a
movie in that we are living out a sort of plot as
well.
But what if we want to change the end of our movie?
Well...
The only way to change the end of a movie is to
change the plot of that movie!
That suggests that we have some control over our
lives, doesn't it?
Many people with bipolar disorder and their supporters
don't believe that, unfortunately.
But I have talked to many, many people who HAVE
changed the plots of their lives so that they WILL have
a happy ending!
These people have bipolar disorder, but have learned to
manage their disorder.
Even some of the most hopeless cases have been able to
turn their lives around so that they have become bipolar
success stories!
For some, stability was just a dream - something that
seemed unattainable.
But with concentrated effort and a lot of hope, they finally
reached it -
They changed the end of their movie by changing the plot
of their movie.
How does this happen?
Well, when your loved one is first diagnosed, they will be
put on a treatment plan.
That treatment plan should include medication and therapy.
Those are just the basics, though -
The foundation of their treatment plan.
They also need to do some work themselves for them to
get better.
During their "movie," both of you will have "parts" for you
to play.
So will other people, as your loved one develops a good,
strong support system.
They cannot get better by themselves, which is one of the
points I make in my courses/systems:

Your part is the role of the supporter.
You need to be patient and understanding.
You need to be supportive, without enabling your loved
one (doing things for them that allow them to continue
unacceptable behaviors).
If you are living with your loved one, then you need
to keep as stress-free an environment for them as
possible.
But you also need to remember to take care of yourself
first, because if you're not healthy (physically, emotionally
and spiritually), how can you take care of your loved
one?
Your loved one has a role in this "movie" as well.
Their "role" consists of:
- taking their medication
- seeing a doctor, psychiatrist
and therapist
- sticking to a good sleep
schedule
- eating a healthy diet
- exercising
- being productive
- working or volunteering
- etc.
Taken all together, it is a recipe for stability, which
is the happy ending of the movie for anyone with
bipolar disorder.
What do you think?
