Bipolar: You Can't Afford This

If you have bipolar disorder, there's one thing you can't afford - complacency. Complacency is just too darned close to giving up. And giving up, for us, can really do us in. It can mean that the bipolar wins and we lose, and we just can't let that happen.

Complacency can go from simply ignoring something or not caring all the way to the darkest depression imaginable, and everything in between. And if you don't think you have control over this, you're wrong, because you do.

If you feel yourself becoming complacent, or notice that you have become complacent, you can do something. Anything. But don't let it go on. Do something about it. Take control (whether it's of yourself or of the situation).

You can become complacent just by putting up with something for too long, when you should've done something about it. Well, it's never too late! Do something about it now! Take charge of the situation now! Be empowered - take back your control, and no longer be complacent.

Complacent implies not caring - not caring about what is happening around you and/or to you. Be proactive! Do something about it! CARE about it! Even though you're starting in the middle, at least you are starting somewhere, and that matters. It will change things.

You can make things better for yourself by coming out of your complacent fog and making a decision to get involved in your own life. Don't stand for what you have been letting go on any longer - stop it!

You cannot afford to allow complacency to have any hold over your life. YOU need to be in control. YOU need to be proactive. YOU need to be involved. YOU need to make decisions. YOU need to be front and center in your own life.

You can fight this. You CAN do it! Complacency no longer has to have any reign over your life. You no longer have to suffer from that bipolar episode you feel into because of complacency - you can bring yourself out of it. Just try! Just push! Just make the effort! Just take control!

You can change things. You can make a difference. You can take the reins back. You can get back in control of your own life! Just do it!
