The past few decades have brought to general awareness that bipolar disorder is a brain disease, like Alzheimer's, Multiple Sclerosis, or Parkinson's disease. Logically speaking, there is no reason to feel shame or embarrassment about a physical disorder. If your loved one had MS, you would be less likely to be living in shame and secrecy.

Many of us are discouraged by the networking events that we go to. We feel swamped by people just looking to get money from us, and we rarely feel as though the event was worth our time.Yet networking should be one of the best ways to bring in new business. The key is learning to network correctly.Even those of us who enjoy networking should remember the following tried and true rules of effective networking.1. Give, then Get.If you approach a networking meeting with a “what’s in it for me?” attitude, you will be just like all those sharks that have kept you away from networking to begin with. Go to a networ
Even when you have a loved one with bipolar, you have probably been conditioned by thousands of years of negative beliefs about mental illness that lead you to have a sense of shame. This shame is counter-productive to your loved one's health and to your own ability to cope with and support them in their illness.
Shame leads to secrecy. Keeping quiet about your loved one's disease and hiding it at any cost will isolate you from networks of support. Imagine how different it would be if you could be completely open about your loved one's bipolar disorder, without all the shame and secrecy. You may find that your neighbor, your co-worker, your boss, and so many other people in your world also are supporting a loved one with bipolar disorder, or suffer from it themselves.
By sharing openly instead of hiding shamefully, you will have more potential of developing a helping network of support. Your neighbor may know of a good doctor or therapist in the area she can refer you to. Your boss may know of a support group. Your co-worker may be able to give you pointers on how to cope or how to help your loved one get and stay healthy.
While you may have fallen into the age-old trap of feeling shame over your loved one's mental illness, he or she most likely feels this shame much more intensely. Your negative perspective can enforce their own sense of shame and secrecy, leading to their further isolation. Your shame is neither healthy for yourself, or your loved one with bipolar.

Dating after divorce can be tricky. But introducing that special someone to your children is even harder. Let's cover the 4 most important steps to take in that first meeting between your new partner and your children.1. Don’t introduce them too early Be sure this is a committed relationship before you bring your date home. Having a revolving door of boyfriends or girlfriends is really hard on kids. Just when they start to get used to someone you’re on to another partner. This causes kids to become less likely to accept someone later on down the road when things really are serious because they're tired of getting h

Throughout all recorded history on our lovely little planet, Earth's human beings have been concerned with a few main ideals. One of these is the idea of freedom. Freedom, what is it? What does it mean to you? To look at it simply and in context of communication, I'd say that it is the right to express oneself within certain moral boundaries. Recently I have discovered that the incredible tool of the Internet is being infected by some of our imperfect human beliefs (a sign of the perfect balance in Nature). Check out a website called 'Reporters Without Borders'. This site is dedicated to both freedom of speech for the masses as well as to

Your data is important to you and why shouldn’t it be. Computers have grown to be a part of our daily lives, so it’s safe to say that most of us would be devastated if we lost everything on our computer. That is kind of a scary thought as your data depends on a machine to keep and store it, and let’s face it, machines fail. Although computers have become much more reliable, more complex software and the internet has made everyone’s computer vulnerable to complete loss of data.There is something you can do to fight back though, that is to take matters into your own hands and don’t rely solely on your computer. The best way to do thi

The costs of car insurance are receiving complaints all across America like clockwork. This is easy to understand, considering the fact a standard policy clocks in at several hundred dollars a year. Based on your age, driving record, and other factors, annual premiums may hit the peak or ride the wave. With that said, how it is possible to keep premiums low and save some money?For starters, most states require that you purchase a minimum amount of liability coverage if you own a car. Enlisting for more than the bare minimum is a rule of thumb if you want to have enough protection. Lowering your car insurance costs can be done with

As a supporter of someone with bipolar disorder, it's up to you to begin to break the cycle of stigma, prejudice and discrimination. As P. Byrne said, "Part of coping with stigma is fighting stigma." And one of the first things you can do is fight it within yourself. Accept that you may have feelings of shame, but at the same time realize that they are illogical and based on prejudice. It's time to let those feelings go. You don't want to be a ‘psychophobe', do you?
P. Byrne points out in his article that while we have words for every other prejudice we can think of, there is no word to describe prejudice against the mentally ill. He suggests adapting the word ‘psychophobic', and points out that words of this sort have gone far in bringing awareness of prejudice.
When you find yourself feeling shame about your loved one's bipolar disorder, remind yourself that you're buying into a culture of psychophobia, and that you are not a psychophobe. Begin to counteract those feelings by thinking about all the positive things about your loved one's disorder.
Your loved one with bipolar is, by definition, emotionally sensitive. Though this manifests as a weakness in their disease, it can also be seen as a strength. They are possibly quite creative, based on observations and studies linking bipolar illness with creativity. They have the strength to admit that they are different, to carry the burden of this label, and to go on living despite this difficulty. How many ‘normal' people do you know who could never admit their weaknesses let alone submit to openly revealing them?
Your loved one has the potential to get better. With the right strategies and support, this disease can be managed and even turned around. Many other physical illnesses do not have this potential for healing and change.
Most importantly, you love them. While there may be times that their struggle w
