Hi,
How’s it going?
Yesterday I asked everyone what leads to stability
with bipolar disorder. People had some great
answers.
I must say that I have thought long AND hard
about this for probably 1000 hours.
I do a ton of cardio sometimes 6 days a week
so I have a whole lot of time to think about
stuff like this.
I am going to tell you what I think the answer
is and it’s different from what most people
think.
BUT before I do, I want to tell you about my
meetings and conference yesterday. I am
super excited about everything.
I must say, like normal going to New York
was a nightmare. I left late. Can never
figure out the trains. Get lost. Get confused.
People cut me off when I am driving. I am
NOT a city person. I live in the “boonies”
or the woods. I am going to post some
pictures soon.
My friends say that where I live is totally
confusing because there are no maps
but I love it. I am not a traffic, tons of people
city type of person. Many of my friends
are.
Anyway, I have so much good news. Yesterday
was a GREAT day. I have
so many new ideas to take this to the next level.
Like I said, I had several meeting with people who are going to
be very helpful to me.
Here are some of my plans:
-Translating some of my material into Spanish.
I have had probably a 1000 people ask and I said
NO. Why? I was worried that I couldn’t handle it.
I found someone who can. And he gave me a complete
plan on how to do it.
-Releasing 3 new totally FREE books on
bipolar disorder. I am actually
going to setup a new website call
www.bipolarcentral.com/freestuff
(note this is not up yet)
-I am going to be giving away more stuff. I want
to setup one place that you can always check
to see what I am giving away instead of you
having to check a whole bunch of stuff.
NOTE-Don’t think this is going to be junk.
These things are going to be for sale BUT if
you are on my online mailing list, you can get them
totally free…I promise. No strings attached.
This is coming out in January. I really would like to
rush to get it before Christmas because I would
like to do something nice for everyone for Christmas.
I am going to try really hard but I see it being
January. I’ll do my best.
-I have this new idea. It’s a great idea that someone
with bipolar disorder gave me. She is a very successful
person that has to keep her bipolar a secret. I respect
that. Unfortunately the world we live in is not accepting
sometimes. Anyway, her idea is GREAT. It’s going
to involve me hiring 1 person with bipolar disorder,
1 person with schizophrenia and 1 person with
paranoid personality disorder. These people should
obviously be in treatment, stable AND very creative.
I will be sending more details in January.
-We will be releasing a new program called
How to get Free and low cost medication AND
treatment for bipolar disorder.
This will be totally 100% free. This is an
incredible idea. BUT to make this work, I am
going to need about 12 to 15 volunteers to
go through the program. The people will have to be
spread out in the USA. So a few from the north
east, a few from the south, a few from the west,
etc.
After we get it down in the USA, we will roll out
to the entire rest of the world. After we roll out to the
rest of the world, we are going to translate it into
Spanish as well.
This program will be launching around in February.
I am REALLY going to need help by having people
agree to be part of the “test program.” If you see an
email looking for people to participate, if you can,
please fill out the application or forward to people
you know. I MUST have test people before I can
totally roll it out.
Remember this program is going to be TOTALLY
Free no cost. It’s going to be truly incredible. It’s
going to cost me a ton to setup but I don’t care. Why?
Well it’s going to help thousands of people all over
the world.
Okay that’s it.
Hey one more thing. Last night I had to volunteer
at a bipolar disorder support group. I am going
to give you a recap of what I learned on Saturday.
Tomorrow is the bipolar news so I can’t do it
then.
Okay, let’s talk about what I wrote yesterday
which was, “What makes someone stable
with bipolar disorder?”
Here’s the deal. People said bipolar medications.
People said routine. People said several things.
They were GREAT answers.
I just take it a little deeper. What do I mean? I feel
that the answers given are after one key thing
happening.
Right now, I want you to take your best guess?
What causes a person to be stable and not
look like they have bipolar disorder?
Guess then scroll down.
NO Cheating. Guess first, then scroll….
Okay, here is what I think. A burring desire to be
stable and belief that stability is possible.
I have thought long and hard about this. Success
with bipolar disorder starts with the person determined
to be stable and successful and having a burning
desire to make this happen.
When I look at ALL the success stories, and all
the people with bipolar disorder that work for me
and my mom, I see this:
Each person had a burning determination to be
stable and successful. From this determination,
the person did what it took to be stable and
successful.
I have seen the best doctors, the best therapists,
the best bipolar medications fail with certain people.
At first when I looked into this. Doctors called these
people “treatment resistant.”
When I delved deeper, I found these people
lacked the burning desire to be stable and successful
and the lacked the belief it was possible.
I have been doing this for several years.
I have over 160,000 sign ups to my newsletter,
have over 5000 testimonials submitted,
#1 site in the world for bipolar disorder,
I have been volunteering for 3 years now,
I have many people who are friends and work
for me with bipolar disorder. With that said,
talk to a lot of people with bipolar disorder.
I have seen people over the last three years
that were deemed unable to be helped and
now are a major success. They are totally
stable. Doing well when before their live
was a nightmare. Why?
They changed their mindset like I talked about
above.
NOW you might be thinking, “Dave that sounds
great but bipolar disorder is a mood disorder,
if a person is not in his/her mind, how can
he/she think like you say?” Good question.
Here’s the deal. I know that when a person
is in an episode he/she has trouble thinking
correctly. I am talking about after a person is
on some kind of medication when they
are at least somewhat stable. I am not
referring to people who are not stable.

100% of the success stories with bipolar disorder
all made a decision to be stable and successful
and that was the turning point in their lives.
They had a burning desire to be stable and
were committed and believed.
Instability actually starts when a person
is stable. That might sound crazy but think
about it. Generally when a person goes
unstable it’s decisions made when they are
stable. Think long and hard about that one.
I have often said, “the greatest medication
in the world can NOT help someone who
is determined to be unstable and unsuccessful
with bipolar disorder.”
I know it’s a little confusing. It’s kind of
hard for me to explain here.
I actually have to take off now. Read what
I wrote a couple of times. Think about it.
Write me on my blog if you agree or disagree.
If you have bipolar disorder, post some comments
on what I am saying.
I have to take off. Tomorrow I am sending out
the bipolar news.
Catch you later. Have a great day!
Your Friend,
Dave
