Hi,<\/p>\n
How’s it going?<\/p>\n
What’s new?<\/p>\n
Hope you are doing well.<\/p>\n
Want to hear something funny. Yesterday
a friend of mine found me on the internet
and decided to call me up and read my
bipolar blog entries to me on the phone and criticize
my grammar. <\/p>\n
After 10 minutes of this, I started to get
annoyed and ask, “So, how many websites do
you have? How many articles do they have
on them? How many people do you have on
your mailing list? What have you done
for society?”<\/p>\n
The person has no websites, no articles
and no mailing list, etc. Anyway, it was
pretty darn annoying to me.<\/p>\n
The thing is, these daily emails are obviously
not edited. There would be no practical way
to edit them and that’s why they are not.<\/p>\n
The goal is to get them out fast first thing
in the morning. It some times takes me
1.5 hours to complete the entire task.
EVERY DAY.<\/p>\n
Someone asked me the other day if it was
a computer that made them. I laughed.<\/p>\n
Speaking of laughing, that moves us
into today’s topic. <\/p>\n
There is a person who posts on my blog
under the “handle” or nickname <\/p>\n
“BPSerenity” <\/p>\n
This person actually posts some great stuff.<\/p>\n
One thing he\/she (I don’t know him\/her), posted
was something about laughing. It was posted
yesterday and I want everyone to read it:<\/p>\n
Just wanted to share this information I
found on the internet: I truly believe that
“LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE”<\/p>\n
Mental Health Benefits of Laughter <\/p>\n
Humor enhances our ability to affiliate or
connect with others.<\/p>\n
Humor helps us replace distressing emotions
with pleasurable feelings. You cannot feel
angry, depressed, anxious, guilty, or
resentful and experience humor at the same time.<\/p>\n
Lacking humor will cause one’s thought
processes to stagnate leading to increased distress.<\/p>\n
Humor changes behavior \u2013 when we experience
humor we talk more, make more eye contact with
others, touch others, etc. <\/p>\n
Humor increases energy, and with increased energy
we may perform activities that we might otherwise avoid.<\/p>\n
Finally, humor is good for mental health because
it makes us feel good! <\/p>\n
Keep laughing life is way too short. \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n
==================<\/p>\n
Many bipolar supporters (generally not those
with bipolar unless they are in depressive episodes)
rarely laugh. They are almost always unhappy and
miserable. They are super serious. I can understand
why.<\/p>\n
BUT, I don’t want you to fall victim to this
if you are a bipolar supporter. I don’t want
you to be so unhappy and never laugh
that eventually you become miserable.<\/p>\n
In my courses\/systems:<\/p>\n
SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER? SUPPORTING A CHILD\/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER? HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER? there are parts in I remember there is one person who I He then said, “Man, if only I had that It was really funny the way he said it.<\/p>\n Now, some say, “bipolar is no laughing They wind up being miserable and having Don’t let this happen to you.<\/p>\n Stacy Adams sends me lots of funny mental If you are a bipolar supporter, ask yourself,<\/p>\n Are you seriously ALL the time?<\/p>\n Do you ever laugh?<\/p>\n Do you do anything fun besides deal with bipolar disorder?<\/p>\n When’s the last time you went to a comedy show?<\/p>\n When’s the last time you watched a funny movie?<\/p>\n I noticed over the years, and I have NO study to back There’s no question bipolar disorder is serious.

health jokes all the times. One time, she
sent me one from her son. He make a cartoon
about mental health or something. It really
didn’t make a whole lot of sense but
the stick people he drew and the simple
dialogue between the stick people was
really funny. <\/p>\n
this up, only observations that people who are
dealing with bipolar disorder who have no fun and are
always serious wind up getting divorced, losing lots
of friends and people avoid them. I have seen this
time and time again.<\/p>\n
can be deadly serious. BUT, you have to have balance
and have a life and have some fun as well.<\/p>\n
me of this.<\/p>\n
in three places. One place is a real drag
and the other places are really fun. I just realized
one realize. <\/p>\n
and excited. In the one place, after three years,
no on ever laughs and everyone is, really, really
serious. I am talking about the people who run
the place. I can understand why those who are
attending are down but the people running the
place shouldn\u2019t be? I just realized this right
now. Hmmm.<\/p>\n
