Hey, <\/p>\n
How’s it going? I am actually in upstate Connecticut
this weekend doing some research.<\/p>\n
I am heading out but I wanted to write you really
quick.<\/p>\n
You see, I get a lot of emails from people who just
complain a lot about being supporters of a loved one
with bipolar disorder, about how it keeps them
from doing the things they want to do, and
having the life they want to have, etc., etc.,
and that bothers me a real lot.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll tell you why that bothers me so much. Because
I know someone else who is a supporter, who never
seems to complain about it at all! She just goes along
with her life as if she doesn\u2019t even have a problem at
at all with being a supporter! And she just has the best
attitude of anyone I\u2019ve ever seen. She\u2019s has this
real positive attitude, not like the complainers I get
who have a real negative attitude about everything.<\/p>\n
Which person do you think I would rather talk to?<\/p>\n
You\u2019re right! Because the second person lifts me
up when I talk to her, and makes me feel better.<\/p>\n
So we have two different people, both supporters,
both with the same set of problems. So what\u2019s the
difference between them? Their attitude!<\/p>\n

In my courses, I go over this. I talk about how
you need to have a positive attitude, or it will just
bring you down, and then nobody will even want to
be around you, your own health and well-being will
suffer, and stuff like that. In other words, it just
isn\u2019t healthy for you to have a bad attitude or to
complain about being a supporter of a loved one
with bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n
So let\u2019s look at the second supporter. If she has a
bad attitude at all, it\u2019s against the disorder itself.
She says she\u2019s not going to let the disorder rule
her life \u2013 that she is the one who is going to be in
control, not the disorder. She says that she has a
choice in how she feels, and she chooses to feel
positive.<\/p>\n
I think we can all take a lesson in that.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, I find that supporters with bad
attitudes wind up driving people away that
can help their loved ones. <\/p>\n
Many people can forgive someone with bipolar
disorder saying and doing things that aren’t
right but when the supporter is saying and
doing things that aren’t right, people
wind up saying, “Hey I am staying away
from that person.”<\/p>\n
I find the worst thing to do and say is
to have a poor attitude. Nobody really likes
a supporter with one. Even professionals who
are trained to cope and deal with such
suppporters secretly have told me how
they dred certain bipolar supporters they
have to deal with because they are
so darn negative.<\/p>\n
Well, I\u2019m off to another meeting. See
you tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Your friend,<\/p>\n
