Hi, I hope you’re doing well today and having a good day.<\/p>\n
Do you know someone who is a “Blamer?” They blame everything going against them for their troubles, and they complain to anyone who will listen.<\/p>\n
It’s not comfortable to be around this type of person, is it?<\/p>\n
Many people with bipolar disorder and their supporters want to blame someone for their trouble. They blame doctors. They blame the government. They blame hospital staff. They blame their parents. They blame their friends. They blame their boss. They blame their co-workers.<\/p>\n
BUT\u2026<\/p>\n
Do you know who is really to blame? YOU ARE.<\/p>\n
You must take responsibility for yourself and your own problems.<\/p>\n
You are NOT a victim! Oh, you can have a victim mentality, but just try to see how far that gets you with your or your loved one’s bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n
NOWHERE.<\/p>\n
You will still have the same problems tomorrow that you have today.<\/p>\n
It is not your family’s responsibility to solve your problems. It is not your friends’ responsibility to solve your problems. It is not your boss’s responsibility to solve your problems. It is YOUR responsibility to solve your problems.<\/p>\n
You can’t just go around blaming others, expecting them to do something to help you. Sometimes you have to be your own help.<\/p>\n
If you are struggling with bipolar disorder, if you have it, I mean, and you are having problems with it, get some help. Like if your medication isn’t working right, and\/or you feel manic or depressed. Call your doctor for help \u2013 they won’t automatically “sense” that you need help. You need to reach out and tell someone so they can help you.<\/p>\n
If you are a supporter to a loved one with bipolar disorder, it’s the same thing. You can ask for help, too. But you CANNOT just do NOTHING\u2026 And then put the blame on someone else. YOU are responsible for finding solutions to your problems.<\/p>\n
Well, I have to go!<\/p>\n
Your Friend,<\/p>\n
