I don&#8217;t think bailouts work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Why?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Well, because I am in mental health.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A bailout is like being codependent or Like enabling someone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The best thing is to figure out how the person got to where they are.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With my mom, I spent a whole lot of money over 7 years bailing her out of all her bipolar problems.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It never worked, she just needed more and more and more money.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I finally stopped, and she was forced to take responsibility for herself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Today she is out of d.ebt and pays her own bills.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In my courses\/systems, I talk about codependency and enabling, and about how these are negative things when it comes to supporting a loved one with bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>\nVisit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11\">http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">SUPPORTING A CHILD\/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>\nVisit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com\">http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>\nVisit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net\">http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net<\/a><br \/>\nMany people who are supporters keep on bailing their loved ones out over and over again.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nobody ever stops to focus on the real problem&#8211;why the people need a bailout in the first place.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It&#8217;s just like today.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Why do automakers need a bailout?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Because they had poor business strategy, overpaid workers and management, and laziness at the top. (I could list a whole bunch of things, but those are the highlights.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Anyway, bailing them out today will only serve to make them feel that they can keep on doing what they are doing and get another bailout in the future.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It&#8217;s just like mental health. If you keep bailing out your loved one, what incentive is there for them to do the<br \/>\nright thing?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It&#8217;s important for them to learn to take responsibility for their actions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Especially after a bipolar episode.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They need to accept the consequences of what they did during the episode.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you rescue them again, if you bail them out yet another time&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You&#8217;re being codependent or enabling them, which is the wrong thing to do.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Just like the automakers, you need to stop bailing out your loved one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I have a ton of friends I have bailed out in a wide variety of ways over the years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I have given the money. I have done friend&#8217;s homework. I have figured out solutions to their problems.  I have gone to the end of the earth for them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Did my &#8220;bailout&#8221; help them? No, because it was only a matter of in some cases a few days or weeks or months that they had another problem they needed to be bailed out from.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now I am not saying to avoid helping people. Obviously since I volunteer and run this organization I believe in helping people. But what I am saying, is fixing a person entire problems or throwing money at their situation doesn&#8217;t work.
