Bipolar Piggy Back Revealed
Published: Thu, 03/04/10
Hi ,
How's it going for you today?
I hope you're having a good day.
Remember when we were
little and got piggy back rides?
If you're a parent today, you
probably give piggy back rides
to your own children.
If you're a grandparent, you may
or may not give your grandchildren
piggy back rides (depending on
if you can or not).
But the point is that you know
what a piggy back ride is, though.
Right?
Well, the term is used negatively
in business.
It refers to someone who gains
success by riding on someone
else's coattails (or piggy backing).
They don't use just their own
resources to get ahead.
This type of person generally
gets no respect from their
co-workers, because you can
tell this type of person just by
watching them for awhile.
So how does this relate to bipolar
disorder?
Let me ask you this:
Are you piggy backing your loved
one's bipolar disorder?
Is the only way for you to get
through to your loved one through
their disorder?
In my courses/systems, I talk about
codependency, which is what I'm
talking about here.

Is your loved one so dependent
on you that they don't do anything
without you?
That's not a good sign.
They need to be doing as much for
themselves as they can.
The more they do for themselves,
the closer they will be to bipolar
stability, and the faster it will
happen.
Your loved one probably pays a
lot of attention to their disorder.
They should, if they're managing
it correctly.
But not to the point that they
leave you out of things.
And you shouldn't be leaving
them out of things either, just
because of the bipolar disorder.
Here's a good way to know:
Is the only thing you ever talk
about, the bipolar disorder?
Or do you talk about other things
outside of the disorder?
Do you feel as if you and your
loved one have good communication
between you?
Does your life consist of things
outside bipolar disorder?
Or does everything you do revolve
around the disorder?
If you don't have good communication
with your loved one...
If everything you want to say to them
has to go by way of their disorder...
Then that's a huge sign that you are
piggy backing on the disorder to get
to your loved one.
By this point, they should be doing
some things for themselves that you
did for them before.
That's how you know they're getting
better.
The point is, you DO want your loved
one to eventually become independent.
You don't want them depending on
you for everything, because that is
just not healthy, for either of you.
Are you experiencing what I'm
talking about?
What do you think you can do to
change it?
