I love this pin with Snoopy from the Peanuts�demonstrating unmotivated bipolar.� This pin I chose from Pinterest, is a perfect illustration explaining one of bipolar�s worst symptoms.� Lack of motivation.
Unmotivated bipolar � what it looks like
It never fails, I get excited about a little project I want to accomplish, then somebody or something throws the brake release and I come to a dead stop.� You need to realize that people with this symptom feel horrible.� I mean dirt off a tin can in the sewer horrible.� The body is encased in concrete from head to toe.� It hurts to move.� Actually they can�t move in most situations.� All I ever want to do is stare at a wall or out the window for hours unending.� I want to cry.� I want to cut myself.� I want to cuss somebody out.� I want to hit a punching bag.
Decisions
At this juncture, I can either pick myself off the floor and fight tooth and nail against unmotivated bipolar.� Or I can just sit back like the beagle seen here.� Chillin� out and waiting for the sun to rise on the horizon.� This too shall pass.� I have made both decisions.� I had my reasons.� But I have chosen to get on the couch and stare more times then I care to admit.
How can you help?
Yes, you can help.� I challenge you to be a proactive friend.� If your mentally ill co-worker is having motivation issues at work, then try out the following.
Be a listening ear.� The last thing they want is someone yammering in their ear about kids, work, finances, blah-blah-blah.� Now I do not mean to paint bipolars as self-centered friends.� The truth of the matter, the majority of this world does not know how to talk to an unmotivated bipolar, or to someone with depression, or PTSD, or AD/HD, bipolar, schizophrenia.� You catch my drift? Do not draw attention to your friend.� They are already hurting enough.� If they want to do something, go to a quiet dinner or coffee shop or bookstore and enjoy each others company. Do not kid with them or scold them for not being productive.� Listen, we really do want to be productive.� Honestly.� The chemicals in our brain are working against us. Get a bead on your friend whether or not they want encouragement.� Usually, I just want to be left alone. Snoopy is correct when he says he is the victim.� When your brain chemistry is f*cked up like ours, It is like somebody has come in and flooded my brain with radiator fluid.� Just be a friend.The post Unmotivated bipolar appeared first on Life Conquering Blog.
