Hello! My professor always tells me in his class "As a business person, EQ is more important than IQ!. Recently, I'm gradually getting to understand this. My motions changes due to unpredictable factors that I can't really control of. Sometimes I'm super happy, sad, angry or stable. I'm sometimes afraid if I'm bipolar again.
Since after I was diagnosed as bipolar, I started analysing my emotions. It took a long time to learn how to control my emotions. For example, I was angry for some reasons yesterday. Then, I noticed that I was angry and my negative emotions were piled up. So what did I do? I started playing some relaxing music and took a bath. Taking a long bath really helps. Stop playing EDM music lol It gets you excited. In another way, makes you angry!
Therefore, I think as a business person, you need to learn how to control emotions. Your emotions can go up and down because of your boss, company's decision, and your unpredictable clients. If you stay upset or angry things can go wrong. Or you might be angry with people around you for no reasons. It's ok to be angry/sad. However, what I'm saying is don't stay in those emotions. It can kill you and get you down.
People without emotional problems don't understand what it's like to stay in the dark place. I actually think people who have experienced emotional difficulties are more sensible to their emotions and learn to control better once they get over it. I feel in this way based on my experience.
If you are in the dark place right now, you might think like there is no end. People around you seem happy and they don't have no worries. But everyone has some problems. People just don't talk. For me, watching TV drama series helped me like "Friends" or "How I met my mother". Because in those dramas, you see people's ups and downs. I got to feel like "It's not just me. Maybe I'll be alright". People will tell you that you'll be alright or things will get better. However, I know that it's hard to believe and don't want to listen to them. Maybe watching movies/tv dramas might help you!
I recommend you to read "The Bipolar Workbook" if you suspect yourself as bipolar/diagnosed. This book really helped me and I learn how to "analyse myself". Bipolar and depression are totally different. Depression books wouldn't help or take you to the worset position if you were actually bipolar. Please go to see "reliable" doctors and get diagnosed. For me, after I realised that I had bipolar things made sense. I mean, for my behaviours in the past. You might be afraid of getting diagnosed, but it might help you. It will take time to accept your conditions and learn to live with it. It took me three years in total: after two years I got diagnosed and took me one year to get over it. So I recommend you to get diagnosed/ fo to see psychiatrist asap. Here I am!!
See you tomorrow!
