Now that I have been on with Sprint for an hour and sent two messages to my list, I figured out who that lady was. I sent two messages to see what the last name was of the person she was getting messages from.

Here is the deal. Someone on my list, was forwarding messages to her. Who knows, it could have been her. I have no idea. Anyway, she told me that the second message had a last name of so and so so (name omitted to protect the guilty) I looked that person up and found the person and removed her from my list.

I had to three way her to spring and she proceeded to curse me out and use all kinds of profanity about me texting her. I have never heard somone that can use so many double negatives and profanity at the same time. “I no ain’t gonna do nothing to help uses.” “You’re a mother fXXXXX a-hole.” Imagine having to listen to that???

WOW, what a conversation. I swear at one point I thought about getting rid of the mailiing list.

Well I have to go get something to eat. Hopefully this has been entertaining for you.

Right now I am on hold with Sprint PCS. There is a woman on my list that says that I am
sending her text messages and “costing her so much money.” I have no idea who this woman
is.

Here is the situation. About a month ago, I started gettting an email from someone that
said I am not Jessica stop sending me text messages. I wrote the person back and asked
who she was or what she was referring to.

Eventually I found out that she was on my list under some name I could not find. She was screaming and yelling at me to stop sending her messages. I asked her for her name and she said it’s under someone else’s name and that it was my job to figure it out. I thought the name
was Jessica so I searched over 24,000 records for the jessicas. There aren’t that many. Know
had an email address that would send a text message. I then tried to use the email address the woman was writing me back in my search.

I couldn’t find a thing. I then had someone who works for me look. We couldn’t find out who this person was or how to stop sending her messages.

She claimed that I was sending her tons of messages and costin her a ton of money and that I was waking her up “all the time.” Which of course is not true.

Anyway, I called the woman and asked if she had any other names that might. She screamed and yelled at me.

So I had to let her go.

I didn’t hear from her for a while and now tonight I get emails saying that she is going to call the police on me for harrassment. I have no idea who this person is, how to take her off my list, etc.

I called her and she of course yelled at me and says I owe her money for all the text messages I sent her that she didn’t want?????

Anyway, I decided to a) call sprint tonight and see if someone could help me or b), simply call the police myself and see what they say to do. I have no idea which police department to even call because I don’t even know where the person is, what the person’s name is, etc. I know if I call and even say the word bipolar I am sure they are going to laugh at me and think I am crazy.

The sad part is, I don’t even know if this woman is wanting to get messages, wanting to waste my time, making this all up, etc.

I just don’t know.

Itt’s REALLY REALLY REALLY annoying. I have spent a ton of time searching for someone named Jessica to remove when such a person doesn’t even exist.

You might not know this but really doing all this stuff can be beyond frustrating. I have people write me all kinds of mean things which are annoying to read.

Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions on what I might do??? Nothing like hanging out on a Saturday night talking to Spring PCS customer service.

I just want to let everyone know that I am working on a number of things.

1. There is going to be a mini course for those that have bipolar disorder and those supporting children. These will all be free and include not only 14 to 19 course lessons but also 50+ tips and also breaking news on bipolar disorder. This should be ready by the end of the month.

2. There is going to be information on finding good legal help when dealing with bipolar disorder (report), a course on getting low cost and affordable health care (course), becoming part of a study with bipolar disorder (book), natural aids with bipolar disorder (book and tape) and getting someone into a good drug rehab program (report).

3. I am also working on more news sources. A number of people commented that some of my last sources require that you pay to gain access to them. There are certain sources that I can’t copy and paste what’s in the subscription area to my site. But, the majority of news is free of charge. The new bipolar news souces will be free however.

4. I am also going to be adding 83 more articles to bipolarcentral.com on various topics. Many articles will be written on a first person basis. Articles for supporting children, dealing with depression if you have it, supporting someone who has depression, dealing with ADHD and bipolar disorder if you have it or you are supporting a child with it and what to do if you have bipolar disorder. This will be done in about 2 months. Lots of articles.

5. I am going to be possibly doing a local seminar on bipolar disorder for free probably towards the end of the year. I don’t have all the details but basically you will come and there will be people presenting information on various subjects. If you are in the area, you should stop by.

6. I will be posting a few success stories on bipolarcentral.com. These will be based on people that filled out my survey to be profiled.

7. I am going to be answering certain questions (NON medical or legal ones) once a week or so in this blog. One day it dawned on me that I have to start leveraging my time or I will be working myself into the ground. At this point I get up to 400 emails a day and tons of phone calls. I am not sure why some people write me messages like, “Hey I just wrote you an hour ago, why haven’t you writen me back?” The truth is, I have many things to do, businesses to run that help fund all this material I put out and personal things to do. Anyway, I will take the most common questions I get and answer them.

8. I will be announcing a new blog and information written in first person on how to support children . This will be coming next week.

9. I created a polling system. You will be able to tell me what areas you would like me to focus on so I can help the most people. I will let you know the link very soon.

That’s it for now. Make sure you check back here really often. I am going to be writing a lot of stuff on this blog. This way I can reach more people.
Let me know what you think.
