Hi,<\/p>\n

How’s it going for you today?<\/p>\n

I have a friend that is kind of like a young philosopher.<\/p>\n

One day my friend said that one of his friends was “the most self-actualized persons he knows” (whatever that means) lol<\/p>\n

So anyway, I was talking to my friend and he was telling me about the reality of many of the parents in his school system–more than 50% don’t really parent well.<\/p>\n

He said that he has tried to explain to parents that they should not work in New York and drive 4 hours or more a day because the kids aren’t getting the kind of love, guidance and supervision they need and ultimately get into drugs and other bad things.<\/p>\n

He said that parents yell at him and say things like, “How the heck am I going to pay for my big house if I don’t work in New York?”<\/p>\n

NOTE-It’s common that many New York people moved to just over the borderline in Pennsylvania for big gigantic houses. This is super stupid but that’s another story. (NOTE-This area has one of the highest drug, gang, foreclosure and divorce rates in the United States…because people work in New York and live in PA).<\/p>\n

So anyway, my friend tells these parents things like, “You made a mistake buying this house. It’s okay to make mistakes but now you have to make a choice, live in big house or downsize into a much smaller house and get a local job and spend time with your kids.”<\/p>\n

He says that parents go crazy so to speak when they hear this and he says,<\/p>\n

“Just because the message is negative doesn’t mean it’s wrong.”<\/p>\n

I said to him, I deliver many a negative message to people dealing with bipolar and they get mad.<\/p>\n

It’s true. Many of the things I teach in my courses\/systems may seem negative to you when you read them at the time, but if you practice them, they will help you to achieve stability.<\/p>\n

\nOne of these messages is about medication.<\/p>\n

People with bipolar disorder would rather hear that they only have to be on medication temporarily, just until they feel better.<\/p>\n

Then I come along and tell them they have to take it for the rest of their lives in order to stay stable.<\/p>\n

It’s like that saying, “Don’t shoot the messenger!”<\/p>\n

Remember, “Just because the message is negative, doesn’t mean it’s wrong.”<\/p>\n

In fact, in this case, it just might save your loved one’s life.<\/p>\n

Or like I tell people with bipolar disorder that they have to have 8 hours of sleep a night, and some people don’t want to hear that.<\/p>\n

They think that they should be able to have as much or as little sleep as they want.<\/p>\n

But too much sleep can put you into a bipolar depressive episode, and too little sleep can lead to a bipolar manic episode.<\/p>\n

Again, “Just because the message is negative, doesn’t mean it’s wrong.”<\/p>\n

In this case, the information could keep your loved one from going into an episode.<\/p>\n

I tell your loved one that they need to go to see their doctor, psychiatrist and therapist as well, and they may not want to hear that.<\/p>\n

They think it’s a negative message.<\/p>\n

But without going to those appointments regularly, they won’t be stable.<\/p>\n

And I tell them that they have to get a good doctor, that not all doctors are good.<\/p>\n

That they definitely think is a negative message, because we’re brought up to believe that all doctors are good.<\/p>\n

But I’ve heard from or talked to too many people with bipolar disorder and \/or their supporters and I know different.<\/p>\n

So you have to find a good doctor and you have to listen to them and do what they tell you to do in order to be stable.<\/p>\n

So all these things are just examples of what could be taken as negative messages, but again, as the saying goes:<\/p>\n

“Just because the message is negative, doesn’t mean it’s wrong.”<\/p>\n
