Why are we “hating” on Bipolar.
It’s a disease process of the human body, no different than diabetes, high blood pressure, or fibromyalgia. Would we be screaming “My sugar is to high, dam it now it’s too low”? “I don’t think I’m going to take my insulin today because my sugar is good today”
How about someone with hypertension (high blood pressure) are we joining forum to “discuss” how it destroys our kidneys and heart? Are we saying “well my HTN (high blood pressure) is good now, so I don’t need these medications?
How about fibromyalgia? “I hurt like hell today, but I know if I take these pills there might be a chance I wont.” “But you know, today I feel good so I’m not going to take those stupid pills anymore”
These are only few examples of disease process that effect a person “just like us” that require “long term treatment”. Requires a great effort on OUR part to manage and seek balance. There is NO single (or cocktail) of pill that will “fix what we got”. WE are what it takes to fix us.
We all know, just like a diabetics, HTN, Fibromyalgia suffers we need to take our medications “for better or worse”, take care of our bodies with regular exercise, and keep a steady schedule. . We didn’t ask for this any more than the next. But why do we keep screaming out “I quit, I cant do this anymore, why me, to hell with life, look at me I can fly”
So if we have so much control of our lives, why are we letting BP lead the way? Are we not capable of taking our medications regularly, not able to exercise and eat right, set an alarm clock to keep a steady schedule? I believe we all are very capable of managing our lives. Sure we will have set backs, no more than a diabetic will have an off day, or a single stressful situation will raise our blood pressures, or a weather change will make us hurt more. But why are we hating of BP?
By hating on BP we are hating on ourselves.
