Hi,<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

I hope your day is going well.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Yesterday was a major pain for me.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I had a whole bunch of problems.<\/p>\n

You might have seen the blog was broken.<\/p>\n

Here’s what happen. This new person who is working for me who looks over things alerted me that there was this problem.<\/p>\n

We are building a new super job system to keep track of all the people applying for jobs. Anyway I guess the programmer did something.<\/p>\n

I guess it’s like if a development is built and they hit a gas line.<\/p>\n

Anyway after many hours it was all fixed.<\/p>\n

Then after that, I had all kinds of issues that wasted hours and hours of my time.<\/p>\n

I am looking forward to a peaceful NEXT Saturday.<\/p>\n

Okay, let’s just to our topic today.<\/p>\n

Today I want to talk about football.<\/p>\n

Ok, I’ll only talk about it for a little while. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Because I know you’re already thinking I’m crazy (like you do sometimes), like, what does football have to do with bipolar disorder?<\/p>\n

Ok, here’s the deal:<\/p>\n

I used to play football. And in football, the main guy is the quarterback.<\/p>\n

And it’s the whole rest of the team’s job is to protect the quarterback – to run interference for him (so he doesn’t get “sacked,” or hurt, or whatever).<\/p>\n

See what I mean?<\/p>\n

Ok, well, let me use another example then.<\/p>\n

I run bipolarcentral.com. And I have a lot of people who work for me. We all work as a team, like a football team.<\/p>\n

See, I head the company, so I’m like the quarterback on the football team.<\/p>\n

And the people who work for me, well, their job is to protect me. To run interference for me.<\/p>\n

Get the connection?<\/p>\n

Ok, I know, I know, so what is the bipolar connection?<\/p>\n

Well, scroll down, and I’ll tell you! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\n

(Keep scrolling)<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

There IS a bipolar connection.<\/p>\n

See, your loved one is like the quarterback in football.<\/p>\n

And it’s your job as their supporter to protect them and to run interference for them.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it’s hard for them to face things in a social setting (or even around other family members or at a family gathering, like at holiday times).<\/p>\n

They might be ashamed at their bipolar disorder, or they might not have even told their family or other people that they have bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

Or they might be afraid that they’ll “act out” or show their depression or mania in front of other people.<\/p>\n

So you have to protect them. You have to run interference for them.<\/p>\n

In my courses\/systems below, I teach people how to be good supporters, and how sometimes you have to protect your loved one, without becoming an enabler:<\/p>\n

HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?
\nVisit:
\nhttp:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net<\/a>
\n(An enabler is a supporter who does things for their loved one that their loved one can do for themselves.) But do you see the bipolar connection here?<\/p>\n

I know you don’t need any more put on you than you already have, but you’re actually doing it anyway, you just may not have looked at it quite this way.<\/p>\n

But really, you are like the football team, or my team, the people who work for me, all rolled up into one person – the supporter of a loved one with bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

So there really is a bipolar connection.<\/p>\n

Can you see it?<\/p>\n
