Hi,<\/p>\n

\n

How’s it going?<\/p>\n

\n

I hope you are doing well.<\/p>\n

\n

I wanted to point out a post that I saw<\/p>\n

“Arly, I am no expert at anything, but I know bi-polar from the inside. Get to a doctor, give this thing you feel a name. It’s earsier to get to know something (your enemy, best friend or self) if it has a name. Maybe you are bi-polar, maybe you have AADD, who knows.<\/p>\n

\n

Once you do, take it one day at a time. Find out what eats at you, what drives you to distraction, what calms you down, what brings you to a good level. There are signs in the turbulence, you seem to be a self-aware guy, so you know when you’re going up, coming down and how fast it goes. The trick here is to recognize it and have a strategy to get yourself under control. Maybe a strategy, medication, and a support system. But most important, you need to know what you are dealing with.”<\/p>\n

\n

This was really insightful from Meg. The concept of knowing your enemy which is bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

\n

The problem is, many people don’t know the enemy, don’t know how it operates, what can be expected and how to manage and defeat it.<\/p>\n

\n

This is how people get into trouble quickly \u2013 they don’t know who their enemy is. <\/span>Some supporters think their enemy is their loved one, because they are the one who is acting out the symptoms of the disorder. <\/span>But that’s a mistake.<\/p>\n

\n

In my courses\/systems below:<\/p>\n

\n

I teach you that you need to separate your loved one from their disorder.<\/p>\n

\n

It may be hard to do, but one of things I talk about is to think about how they are when they’re in the “normal” state (that state between manic and depressed). Or think about who they really are \u2013 that person you really care about, or that person you fell in love with \u2013 NOT who they’re acting like when they’re in when they’re in an episode.<\/p>\n

\n

Remember at all times who the real enemy is \u2013 and it’s NOT your loved one. <\/span>Your real enemy is bipolar disorder, and there IS a chance that that enemy can be defeated, if you do certain things.<\/p>\n

\n

One way to fight the disorder I’ve already talked about \u2013 separating your loved one from their disorder. <\/span> <\/span>Another is fighting it as a team, both you and your loved one fighting it together.<\/p>\n

\n

Another way is to learn all you can about the disorder. <\/span>That’s why my courses are so important. <\/span>They tell you everything you need to know information-wise about bipolar disorder and about being a good supporter to your loved one.<\/p>\n

\n

There are other ways to fight the disorder as well.<\/p>\n

\n

You need to know how it operates, and just like any other enemy, it waits and watches for when you are most vulnerable. Just when you think your loved one will not have another episode, that’s when they will, if you’re not vigilant. You also need to know what can be expected from your enemy, bipolar disorder, and how you can manage it and defeat it.<\/p>\n

\n

You can learn what can be expected from it by learning all the signs and symptoms of the disorder. <\/span>And you can learn how to manage it. <\/span>Yes, the disorder CAN be managed!<\/p>\n

\n

There is still no cure, but you can defeat it by managing it \u2013 help your loved one by being the best supporter you can, by making sure they take their medication, see a therapist, stick to their treatment plan, eat healthy, exercise, and sleep right. <\/span>All these things.<\/p>\n
