Excerpts: When I began teaching at Bipolar Insights, I had a mindset which many people share. It is the inability to recognize what I define as “similarity blindness.”

Our first Mountain Democrat column has been published this year (January 21, 2013) ~ “Authenticity and Mercy” ~ written by Marcia Rose.

Excerpts: It was one of those moments that appear out of nowhere. Suddenly, without warning, anguish approaches, your stomach tightens and tears wash over your cheeks. You are left to wonder WHY?

To begin, on the attached form, write four words that describes your character. (Click to open the form.)

Do not use words that are associated with anyone or anything–it must be about you.

An example: Teacher, creative.
Don’t write, mother, father, loving compassionate (they are all associated with others)

The object is to weed through all the layers of lies that have defined you. Digging deep inside discovering the real person, before life got in the way. Looking into a mirror we see through the eyes of others perceptions, which are usually based on behaviors.

Recognizing your gifts, abilities, and strengths diminishes the input of others and will reveal the truth.

When you know, without doubt, who you are, your ability to see your value and worth will rise to the surface. Believing you have value becomes a solid foundation to begin to build on; this will become the stronghold of your life.

Don’t lose your personal form, put it in a safe place and be looking for the next exercise.

Marcia

What a powerful word, “together.” How did you do that? How did you finish the project? How did you paint the house? How did you face that illness? How did you fix the car? How did you care for your parent? How did you … tell me how?

“Together” we did it. We did it “together.”

You are so much more than bipolar disorder.

On this day, Dan decides to teach. He takes the marker and writes in big letters “Dig Deeper!” and proceeds to mock and make fun of Marcia, our facilitator. Sitting in the first row is Marcia watching, listening and laughing uncontrollably. Her cheeks ache and her stomach hurts from the laughter. The group joins in as Dan does not miss a beat mimicking how Marcia speaks, her movements and expression.

Our meetings are always filled with laughter, but without a doubt, this one meeting was the best in 12 years!

Courageous!
