Hi,<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Have you ever heard the expression \u201cLife has no limits\u201d? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s one of those sayings that motivational speakers use that try to get you to believe that you can be anything you want to be, do anything you want to do, go anywhere you want to go, and accomplish anything you want to accomplish in life. No limits.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

And I agree with that.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

But does the same thing apply to people with bipolar disorder and their supporters?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Think about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I volunteer at several bipolar support groups, and I\u2019m not saying that if you go to a bipolar support group that yours is like this, but a couple of the ones I go to are like his. <\/span>But they complain and talk about all the limits that bipolar disorder all of a sudden have put on their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t how I talk about it in my courses\/systems, though:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

In my courses\/systems, I talk about how if your loved one is on their medication and sticking to their treatment program, there is no reason that they shouldn\u2019t be living a fairly normal life. <\/span>And the same for you as a supporter.\u00a0 Now, I know your loved one might feel that taking medication for the rest of their life isn\u2019t fun and might feel limiting, but think about it (and tell them to think about it) \u2013 isn\u2019t it more like the other way around? <\/span>It\u2019s really the medication that allows the limitations to be taken OFF your life when you\u2019re living with bipolar disorder!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I teach people how to become high functioning, and what that means is that you learn ways to deal with the disorder so that you have way fewer episodes. <\/span>Things like learning how to manage your disorder, manage stress, manage time etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

When you can do that, your whole life is more manageable, and there\u2019s no reason that, despite having bipolar disorder in it, life should have any limits for you or your loved one \u2013\u00a0 In other words, you (and your loved one) should be able to do anything you want to do, go anywhere you want to go, and accomplish anything you want to accomplish in life. No limits.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

What do you think? <\/span>Let me know.<\/span><\/p>\n
