It’s not that we should not have moods or feelings, but for those of us with bipolar disorder or depression (anxiety too) it is because of our brain malfunctioning that without recovery our moods can swing too drastically or get stuck and interrupt our daily living.
As they say, “The only thing that never changes is change.” Life is full of changes. Some changes that we make, others make, or life makes for us. Some changes we like; others we do not. Change is unavoidable.
“There’s a connection between having bipolar disorder and controlling one’s impulses.
The lack of impulse control may not only be an indicator of bipolar disorder, but explains a number of the symptoms of bipolar disorder.
Being focused is essential for getting a lot of different types of tasks done in this life. However, sometimes being intensely focused or “stuck” in our thinking about something is not good and we end up needing to be distracted from it. We need to be interrupted! There are times we can become intensely focused, ruminating over and over on something negative. It’s at that point that we need to interrupt and distract our thinking.
There is a sacred space we enter with another person when we can let them feel what they are feeling without avoidance, advice, judgement, or tense discomfort. Simply to tell them, “I’m here and I love you.”
Like many other bipolar patients, I struggle with weight. A number of my medications have the side effect of weight gain. Other side effects include a slowing of cognitive function and speech. It is no wonder my metabolism is slowed.
ganar, este "viaje del bienestar" no es un viaje de perfección. Es un viaje de progreso imperfecto. Para hacer este viaje, tú y yo debemos estar dispuestos a aceptar el hecho de que nunca vamos a ser perfectos. Nadie es perfecto. La recuperación, que yo defino como retomar la propia vida de una forma nueva, se construye sobre fracasos de los que aprendemos, nos levantamos y seguimos avanzando. Avergonzarnos a nosotros mismos y creer que un fracaso nos convierte en unos completos fracasados es simplemente una mentira salida directamente de las fosas del infierno. Todo el mundo fracasa. Todo el mundo se queda corto. ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre los que deciden rendirse y creer la mentira de que son unos completos fracasados y los que tienen éxito? Es sencillo: entender que avanzar es un progreso imperfecto frente a la perfección.
It’s way to easy to remain emotionally stuck and continue to ruminate about something over and over. But, that only makes one emotionally toxic within a short time. So, choose not to allow myself any excuses for not doing what I can do to resolve an issue that is bothering me. If I am not willing to change what I can change then, I will never move forward. In fact, I’ll get worse, not better.
