Does Having Bipolar Disorder Automatically Set You Up For Failure?!? Of course not, having bipolar disorder is nothing more than having a diagnosis of a cold or an illness. We have a treatable disease (just like diabetes), granted it is a disease that is life-threatening that if gone untreated can cause devastation and ruin to our family life and ultimately suicide. But it doesn't have to be that way, through professional help whether that is through psychotropic medication, cognitive therapy, or the vast multitudes of therapies available to us there are ways to help in our road to recovery.
We don't need to set ourselves up for failure on day eight of 2014 by allowing negative thoughts of our past haunt us. Let's start out 2014 cleaning out our minds of all negative self talk, and boot are in a critic to the curb... Yes let 2014 be the eviction of our inner critic let us go on enjoying the rest of the 357 days left.
Mental note: today is day 357
Thanks
