Bipolar: You’re Not the Only One
Published: Tue, 09/10/13
Hi ,
How are you feeling today?
I hope you're feeling good.
Let me ask you something:
Do you ever feel as if you're the only one
going through what you're going through
right now?
The only one who has to deal with the problems
that you have to deal with?
Would it help you to know that you aren't the only
one?
If you have financial problems, well, so do other
people.
If you have marital problems, well, so do other
people.
If you have problems with your children, well,
so do other people.
If you have problems at work, well, so do other
people.
Maybe you can learn from your problems.
Maybe it's just a matter of learning how to problem
solve.
Like in the case of financial problems, you might
want to look at getting out of debt.
You can talk to a debt counselor about that.
You might want to look at where your money is
going.
You can sit down with your loved one and figure that
out, and then develop a budget.
Then you have to stick to living within your means.
It may take time, but if you do these things, you may
no longer have financial problems.
And you must know that you're not the only person
with a loved one who has bipolar disorder.
You can go to just one support group meeting and
find other people in the same boat as you are in.
You can even get some good advice on dealing with
your own loved one from a support group.
Unfortunately, in our culture we have become isolated
from each other.
To the point that we sometimes think we're the only
person with the problems that we have.
That makes those problems harder to solve.
In my courses/systems, I show you how to effectively solve
your problems.

Sometimes we get jealous of other people.
We think they've got it easier than we do.
Kind of like "the grass is always greener on
the other side" type of thing.
But everyone has problems.
Would you even want to trade yours for someone
else's?
Think about it.
You know the expression, "No matter how bad
you've got it, someone else has it worse."
That's true.
And remembering that can help you have a more
positive attitude.
Some people just sit around waiting for "the other
shoe to drop."
They expect that they're going to have more problems
than they already have.
That's like you waiting on eggshells for your loved one's
next episode.
That's no way to live.
You have to believe in your loved one's stability.
Otherwise, it's just another unsolvable problem.
No, you are not the only one.
Many millions of people right now are struggling with
bipolar disorder.
The difference between it being a problem or not is how
you approach it.
Either it controls you, or you control it.
What are you doing today to help your loved one get
control over their bipolar disorder?
Are you being a good supporter and helping them to
manage their disorder?
Or are you spending too much time worrying...
Maybe even feeling sorry for yourself...
Thinking that you're the only one going through what
you're going through?
What do you think?
