Hi,<\/p>\n

How are you?<\/p>\n

I hope you’re feeling fine.<\/p>\n

Have you ever heard the expression, “It’s my way or the highway?”<\/p>\n

Or heard Frank Sinatra sing, “My Way?”<\/p>\n

I’m sure you’ve at least come across people who think that their way is always right.<\/p>\n

(Difficult people to deal with, aren’t they?)<\/p>\n

We’d all like to have things our own way.<\/p>\n

But life just isn’t like that.<\/p>\n

You learn very early in life that you can’t get your way sometimes.<\/p>\n

Just think about any teenager you know (or have raised)!<\/p>\n

They have to do things their parents’ way.<\/p>\n

We learn that there are rules that we have to obey \u2013 we have to do things the government’s way.<\/p>\n

When we work at a job, we have to do things the boss’s way.<\/p>\n

If we’re married, we have to get used to sometimes doing things our spouse’s way.<\/p>\n

If we’re sick and want to get well, we do things our doctor’s way.<\/p>\n

Well, if you have bipolar disorder, you have to do things the bipolar way.<\/p>\n

In my courses\/systems, I teach you about doing things the bipolar way, and what that consists of.<\/p>\n

You just can’t do things your own way if you have bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

There are going to be things you have to do that you don’t like.<\/p>\n

Like taking medication for the rest of your life.<\/p>\n

Or going to see a doctor, psychiatrist and therapist on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

Or having to stick to a strict sleep schedule.<\/p>\n

Or having to eat healthy.<\/p>\n

Or having to exercise.<\/p>\n

You might even have to get used to not working.<\/p>\n

And having your finances stretched.<\/p>\n

But worst of all, you have to get used to having bipolar episodes, and the after-effects of them.<\/p>\n

And that, you definitely won’t like.<\/p>\n

But learning how to do all these things, and accepting and doing them, is doing things the bipolar way.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t mean that your bipolar disorder controls you \u2013 in fact, it’s the opposite.<\/p>\n

Doing things the bipolar way is respecting the limitations that having the disorder puts on you, and being successful and stable in spite of them.<\/p>\n

So, in fact, you are in control of your bipolar disorder instead of it being in control of you.<\/p>\n

Although it may be hard to accept at first, having bipolar disorder makes you different from other people, and you may have to get used to that.<\/p>\n

Now, I don’t think that’s a bad thing, necessarily, because I have several people who work for me that have bipolar disorder, and they are some of the most intelligent, creative<\/p>\n

people I know (even compared to people without the disorder).<\/p>\n

But the point is, if you think you can do things your own way, you’re going to find out quickly that your way won’t work.<\/p>\n

You have to adjust to the bipolar way.<\/p>\n

It means you have to make some lifestyle changes, but these changes will lead to stability for you.<\/p>\n

What about you?<\/p>\n

Are you still trying to do things your own way?<\/p>\n

Do you agree with me about doing things the bipolar way?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
