Bipolar Disorder and Stress: The US Economy<\/p>\n
Yes, our economy stinks. It has affected my business greatly- and not in a good way- and it has possibly affected you similarly.<\/p>\n
I was very freaked out at first. A friend of mine lost her job and many friends lost a lot of their retirement. Eventually I realized that worrying was not helping me. I now choose to see this situation as a challenge to myself intellectually and emotionally instead of something awful.\u00a0 This is when I can get very creative and focused on my goals.\u00a0 What can I do to turn this around in my life? What can I do to create business elsewhere?\u00a0 What do I need to change?<\/p>\n
People are spending less- that is actually a good thing for this country in the long term. It has made me look at my spending.\u00a0 What can I do now to protect myself from this when it happens in the future? Etc.<\/p>\n
We don\u2019t need money stress when it comes to bipolar disorder- but the news can make things seem much more terrible than they are. Yes, people are losing jobs and a large part of their 401Ks and other investments- but many are seeing this as a time to change.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A friend of mine worked in the mortgage industry- (yikes!) \u2013 when she was laid off, it was terrible at first and then a blessing. She is on unemployment and can now choose a career path she actually likes! She is in a much better mood too.<\/p>\n
Another friend of mine, who is 62 lost a significant part of her savings, she said, \u201cAfter I cried, I realized that this was the time to finally write the book I have been talking about for years!\u201d\u00a0 We worked together and she sent in her book proposal last week! No kidding!<\/p>\n
