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

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Is everything going well for you?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I hope so.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I normally clean on Thursdays so I was thinking <\/span>of cleaning and bipolar disorder for some reason. <\/span>Now you might be wondering\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ok, so what does cleaning your house have to do with bipolar disorder, you probably want to know, right?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Actually, it was someone else, someone who has bipolar disorder who explained this concept to me.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

First, she pointed out that you don’t make your bed in the living room, right? (and of course I agreed)<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then she said that you don’t wash the dishes in the laundry room, do you? <\/span>(and I thought, well, that’s pretty obvious)<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And then she asked me, “You don’t do your laundry in your bedroom, right?” <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now, I still didn’t know where she was going with this, but she sure had my attention. <\/span>Especially because I knew it had to do with bipolar disorder, because she had the disorder and we had been talking about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ok, so here was her point.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Say you’re cleaning your house. <\/span>There are different rooms in your house, and you clean each room differently. <\/span><\/span>So you have a system for cleaning your house.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(Aha! <\/span>I went, as I finally started getting the link!)<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What she was saying was that the concept was that you have to have systems. <\/span>And I believe that, because I teach about many systems in my courses\/systems below:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ok, so the concept is that you have to have systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I know a couple where they both have systems for everything.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, each of them has different systems for some things than the other person (even people without bipolar disorder do this).<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For example, the way they groom themselves is different.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The way they fill up their medication boxes is different. <\/span><\/span>And also, she has to take meds both in the morning and at night, while he only has to take his at night. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But the important thing is that they each have a system for managing their medications.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The way they manage their diets is different, because they don’t like the same foods. <\/span>But they have a system where they still eat their meals together. <\/span>They just eat different things.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Their system for exercise is pretty much the same, though. <\/span><\/span>They go to the same gym together; however, they use different machines. <\/span>But they finish together and go home together. <\/span>When they walk, they walk together.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

They both have a system for their treatment, too. Although they see the same therapist and psychiatrist, they see them at different times, and confidentiality is observed.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

———————————————————————<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Do you see what I’m getting at?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You have to have a system for everything in order to manage your\/your loved one’s bipolar disorder.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Otherwise, it will get out of control.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Just like your house will get out of control if you don’t have a system for cleaning it up!<\/span><\/p>\n
