Bipolar? Do You Have Persistence When It Comes to This?
Published: Wed, 03/31/10
Hi ,
How is your day going?
I hope it's a great one.
You know about my little
goddaughter, right?
Well, I think one of the
greatest toys they ever
invented for kids was
building blocks.
Yep, building blocks.
Simple.
Easy.
But it can keep them busy
for hours!
She builds these tall towers
out of her building blocks,
and you should see her go.
Nothing interrupts her
concentration when she is
building one of her towers.
Of course, sometimes the
blocks fall down before
she's completed her tower,
but she doesn't abandon
her mission!
She just starts over and starts
building her tower again!
She builds it as high as she
is, sometimes, before it
falls!
But you should see her when
she's building it...
She is focused...
She is quiet...
No distractions...
She is concentrating...
And she is persistent.
That's the name of the game
when it comes to bipolar
disorder, too, like I say in my
courses/systems - you must
be persistent if you want to
get stable or help your loved
one to reach stability.

Do you have persistence when
it comes to your bipolar disorder?
When your "tower" falls down
sooner than expected, do you just
start building it again?
Like say you're on a new medication.
And it has some side effects.
Do you abandon it completely?
Or do you call the doctor and
tell him about the side effects
so that he can tell you what to
do?
What if somebody says something
you don't like at your support
group?
Do you quit going altogether,
scrapping the whole notion of
going to a support group just
because one person said something
you didn't like?
Or do you have the persistence
you need to keep going to that
support group no matter what,
because you need it?
What if you do go into an episode?
Do you feel like it's the end
of the world?
Like you'll never get better?
Like all your work toward
stability (like my goddaughter
building her tower) was all for
nothing?
Do you just give up?
Or do you latch onto your
persistence with everything
you've got and build that
tower - fight that bipolar
episode?
You've got to have persistence
if you're going to beat this
thing.
It's not always going to be easy.
But you CAN do it!
