Hi,
How’s it going?
Happy Sunday. It’s actually pretty early
for me. Before I take off, I wanted to
share an important lesson with you.
This particular time of the year, tends
to bring a lot of problems for people with
bipolar disorder.
With that said, today I wanted to send out an important
concept on how to predict the future with
bipolar disorder.
It might sound impossible but it’s really not.
Let me explain the secret.
Many times with bipolar disorder, everything comes
down to patterns.
For many people, there are certain periods of time
that are more difficult. People tend to have certain
things or events that trigger mania or depression.
People cycle during the same periods of time each
month, or year.
Bipolar episodes, many times, come at the same time
each year.
With this said after you start doing a bunch of
PEAs (post episode analyses), you start to be
able to predict the future.
For example, I feel strong that my mom will start to
go into a slight bipolar episode in November.
The only thing I am unsure of is how many days
it will last.
How do I know this? Or am I just being
“negative” about my mom?
I know this because this has happen for several
years in a row. If you have been on my list for a
while, you will remember each November/December
I am writing about my mom going into a bipolar
episode.
Two years ago it was a nightmare. Why? Well
I just didn’t know a lot of things. Then I did
a PEA and figured out what went wrong. I fixed
up the system to solve most of the problems. But
then, last year she went into a slight episode.
The system however caught it way in advance
from the previous year’s “learnings.”
This year I feel that it will be caught way ahead
of time and there will not be much damage from
the bipolar episode.
However, if you have my materials on bipolar
disorder, you know I am a HUGE believer in
backup plans and I even have an entire
concept called how to avoid the dooms day
scenario which has a super system of
preventing episodes after big
episodes.

This past September I warned my dad that my mom
would have trouble sleeping probably in
October.
He looked at me like I was crazy. How did
I know that? Well I had a feeling and
also, my mom generally has problems sleeping
in October.
It confuses me really why my dad forgets
anything that happens the year before.
My aunt on the other hand, who is one of
my mom’s bipolar supporters always remembers.
Anyway, I found out my mom had problems sleeping
in the first part of October but took the proactive
stance and called the doctor and her treatment
plan was adjusted. And she is working with
her therapist on sleeping better. Both her
therapist and doctor are in concert with
her treatment plan and address the problem
BEFORE it turns into a big bipolar episode.
I call this preemption strike or “preemption.”
Most people who are dealing with bipolar
disorder never try to predict the future, plan,
or engage in preemption. They just hope for the
best of “keep their fingers crossed.” This is kind
of how our family did it for so many years.
“Keeping your fingers crossed” and “hoping
everything will just work out fine” don’t work.
In my course/systems, you’ll find a lot of other
techniques to help predict the future. Many times
you don’t know things that are coming and it’s someone
like me who has been down the road you are traveling
that can let you know.
If you haven’t done so, take a look at my
courses/systems as soon as you can:

Today as a good assignment for you, make a
list of what’s happen historically with either
you or your loved one’s bipolar disorder and
then try to anticipate what will happen in the future.
Then launch a preemptive strike against the
bipolar.
NOTE how it’s against the bipolar not your
loved one. Remember bipolar is the enemy
not your loved one.
Here’s something I just got from someone, I really
like testimonials because it makes me feel like I am
really helping:
“I highly recommend Dave’s emails and courses on
Bi-polar to help you and your families understand
the illness that bi-polar is and how different
it is for each different person that suffers with it.”
-Linda S.
See you on Monday!
Your Friend,
Dave
