Hi,

How’s it going?

Hope you are doing well. It’s Saturday so
I hope you have something fun planned.

Actually today I am going to a new bookstore
in Pennsylvania and also to the mall. I really
hate the mall. For some reason walking around
in the mall is like doing 25 sessions on
the treadmill. Anyway, I am going with
a friend and it’s suppose to be quick.

But the reason why I am going to the bookstore
is they have a new book that has some new information
related to bipolar disorder. It’s not about bipolar
disorder but another topic and we can “borrow” some
ideas from it to help us with bipolar disorder–
both supporters and survivors.

I will keep you posted.

I also wanted to ask you something. I am strongly
considering having a seminar in New Jersey. It would
be 100% free. No cost at all.

Here is my problem. I don’t know how many people
will show up. It’s going to be for a couple of
hours. I don’t want to get too big of a place
and spend a bunch of money I don’t need to.

It’s probably going to be in Warren County New
Jersey.

Do me a favor if you or someone else you know
would come please send me an email to
feedbacktodave@mentalhealthworld.net

I am not sure when it will be. Probably on
a Saturday. It would probably start at like 11:00am
and run to like 1:00pm. Then there would be time
for any and all questions. Oh NOT legal or medical
ones because you know, I am NOT a doctor, therapist,
lawyer, insurance agent and not a hedge trimmer.

Actually this is funny. Some asked me if I was “hedge
trimmer.” They thought I trimmed people’s hedges.

I think they got confused. I do consulting for HEDGE
FUNDS but I don’t trim hedges 🙂 LOL.

Okay let’s jump into today topic.

Daylight saving time is coming up. That’s when
you change the clocks in this case BACK. At 1:59am
the times goes to 1:00am instead of 2:00am.

If you want to know the history of it, do a google
search. It’s kind of interesting. It was done to
save money and add extra sunlight.

With that said, there’s a warning with
bipolar disorder.

For many daylight saving changes the way
a person feels. It can affect a person
mood. It can affect a person sleeping
pattern.

This change, can trigger a bipolar
disorder episode if you don’t watch it.

This has happen with my mom. It’s happen
with many other people I know as well.

However, today these people are aware of the
potential problem and have systems in place
on how to mitigate the affect of the change
in time. Also, these people know that if
they are affected for too many days, they
immediately call their doctors and or therapists.

I wanted to point this out because no one ever
talks about these things. Most people have
to learn them the hard way. It’s kind of annoying.

When you get my courses/systems, you find
a lot of these types of things that you would
never think affect bipolar disorder.

Actually in the next day I am going to talk about
something that happen to me at a bipolar disorder
support group. It’s about how a doctor their basically
would not say anything affected anyone with bipolar
disorder unless it was studied and researched. So,
in the case of daylight saving time, this person
would probably say it would not affect people
with bipolar disorder because there are no studies
that say it does.

Waiting and looking for studies for everything I think
is a dangerous game. Most things are NOT studied and
it takes years and years and years for studies to
come out IF they ever do. There are lots of things
that impact bipolar disorder that are NOT studied.
Why? Well first they don’t have money to do the
bipolar studies and #2, mental illness is not pressing
for people. It’s sad but true. Most studies are focused
on more popular illnesses.

Take a look at where the money goes in let’s say the
United States. It doesn’t go to mental health for the
most part. Take a look at mental health facilities
they are run down. Contrast this against cancer facilities.
It’s night and day. Also notice with cancer there are tons
and tons of studies but with bipolar disorder very
few.

Cancer is big business but bipolar disorder doesn’t
seem to be.

Okay enough of that. So make sure you are watching
out for daylight savings time and how it might affect
yourself or your loved one with bipolar disorder.

Well I have to run. Catch you tomorrow. And if
you have any stories about change in season or
daylight saving time, please let everyone know
by posting.

Sometimes people don’t believe what I say and
would hate for them to ignore what I say, have
a problem, go into a huge bipolar episode
and suffer.

Okay have to run. Catch you tomorrow.

Your Friend,

Dave

Hi!

I hope you’re having a good week.

I was thinking about something today. I have
several people who work for me who have
bipolar disorder, and I always brag on them,
about how you would never know that they
have the disorder, unless they told you.

Of course, I live in New Jersey, and they
live in other places, all over the map. But I
was wondering about what they look like in
person. I mean, not their looks, but whether
in person, that you can or can’t tell that they
have bipolar disorder.

So that made me think about you and your
loved ones. If there’s almost 12 million people
with bipolar disorder, chances are you know
more than just your loved one with the
disorder. Can you tell or can you NOT tell
just by looking, if someone has bipolar disorder
or not?

Interesting question, don’t you think?

See, what made me think about it, too, was
the many emails I’ve gotten from people like
you, asking me about whether “it” is the
bipolar or the loved one, and about whether
they are “faking” it or not. That’s been a real
big issue, according to the emails and calls
I’ve gotten.

So I give it to you. What do you think?
What has been your experience? Can you
tell just by looking, if your loved one
has bipolar disorder or not? If so, what
is it about their behavior that gives them
away?

For those of you who can’t tell, what is
it about your loved one’s behavior
that is different, that doesn’t give them
away?

In my courses and systems, I talk about
what makes a person high-functioning.
This is what I think, at least by what the
people who work for me are concerned,
is what makes them different, and in my
courses I have a whole section on being
high functioning:

SUPPORTING A CHILD/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?
Visit:
http://www.bipolarparenting.com

HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?
Visit:
http://www.survivebipolar.net

High-functioning behavior can make a
person with bipolar disorder NOT stand
out as someone with the disorder. Does
that make sense?

Whereas, on the other hand, someone who
has bipolar disorder, but is NOT high
functioning, would be someone who you
can tell DOES have bipolar disorder.

I have seen this firsthand – in the people
who work for me, those I have interviewed
for my courses, those who I have talked
to at the support groups I attend, and
others I have heard from via email and phone.

Now, I’d like to hear from you. What do
you think? Where does your loved one fall?

Well, I have to go, but I’m looking forward
to hearing from you!
