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

\n

Hope you’re having a great day!<\/span><\/p>\n

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

I am still up in New Hampshire working hard.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

The good news is that the person that I am staying with made a home cooked meal.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Hey, who doesn’t love a home-cooked meal, huh?<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Yeah, the kind made entirely from scratch.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

No store-bought meal.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

No ready-to-cook meal.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

No fast-food meal.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Not even a meal in a restaurant (it’s still somebody else’s cooking).<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Now, I’m not even going to get into the “Who’s a better cook, Mom or Grandma?” family argument. (LOL)<\/span><\/p>\n

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

The point is, everyone loves a great, home-cooked meal made entirely from scratch!<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Do you know why?<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Because even though a restaurant can make Grandma’s lasagna, they can’t make it Grandma’s way, because Grandma has that\u00a0 secret” ingredient she’s only told Mom about, and Mom won’t even tell YOU about until you’re HER age!<\/span><\/p>\n

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

That secret ingredient\u2026 hmmm\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Well, someone finally spilled that “secret ingredient,” and do you know what it was?<\/span><\/p>\n

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

GUESS.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

Oregano?<\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

WRONG!<\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

Parsley?<\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

WRONG!<\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

Italian spice?<\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

WRONG!<\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

Basil?<\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

WRONG!<\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

Pepper?<\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

WRONG!<\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

IT WAS LOVE!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

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

That was the “secret ingredient” all along.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

It was Grandma’s LOVE.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

They say you can actually taste the love in someone’s cooking you know. But I know you’re wondering what the point to all this is anyway, right?<\/span><\/p>\n

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

And what it has to do with bipolar disorder? <\/span><\/p>\n

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

Well, I’ll tell you.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

To make a good meal you have to have all the ingredients. <\/span>Ok, and love (because Grandma’s always right, right? LOL).<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Well, it’s the same with bipolar disorder.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

In my courses\/systems below, I talk about having a system, where you have to have all the “ingredients” (parts) working in order to manage the disorder:<\/span><\/p>\n

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

SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?<\/span><\/p>\n

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

SUPPORTING A CHILD\/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?<\/span><\/p>\n

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

HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?<\/span><\/p>\n

Visit:<\/span><\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

Well, think about what I said.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Now think about it in relation to being a good supporter.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Compare the ingredients to making a good home-cooked meal with the characteristics necessary to being a good supporter.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Yes, you need sauce, noodles and cheese \u2013 they are the basic ingredients to making a lasagna. <\/span><\/p>\n

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

But anyone can cook some lasagna noodles, layer them with cheese and pour sauce over them.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Ok, so every supporter has the basic skills –knowledge of bipolar disorder (the noodles), basic ability to care for a loved one with a disorder (the cheese), and a relationship with their loved one (the sauce).<\/span><\/p>\n

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

BUT\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

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

What about the other ingredients\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Those special spices that make up the sauce\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Those certain characteristics that make a good supporter into a GREAT supporter?<\/span><\/p>\n

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

What about patience?<\/span><\/p>\n

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

What about understanding?<\/span><\/p>\n

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

What about compassion?<\/span><\/p>\n

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

What about empathy?<\/span><\/p>\n

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

AND\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

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

What about Grandma’s “secret ingredient”?<\/span><\/p>\n

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

What about LOVE?<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Without love, you can’t get through the toughest of times you’ll have to face caring for someone with bipolar disorder. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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

And believe me, there will be tough (with a capital T), tough, times!<\/span><\/p>\n

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

It’s that one “special ingredient,” LOVE, <\/span><\/span>that will make you a great supporter.<\/span><\/p>\n

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