=>PLEASE FORWARD TO FRIENDS, FAMILY AND LOVED ONES <= Hi, I totally messed up yesterday.
But before I tell you, I wanted to
say…

My interview yesterday went really well.

Here’s the deal. I have to admit I was very
nervous. I couldn’t even sleep the night
before. I was going to be interviewed by a
major consulting firm but not get the
questions ahead of time as I told
you yesterday.

Anyway, I woke up at like 6am and
tried to brain storm the questions
that might be asked.

So 7:00am hit and I had to leave
at 8:00am.

I all of a sudden forgot I was
going to have to write my daily bipolar
disorder email.

Then it hit me that I wanted to
send out an email on goal setting.

I heard it raining super hard. Like
really, really hard.

BUT then I thought for a second,
“Where is my umbrella?” Then I started getting
nervous. Thinking…

“What if I get all wet. Will
it show on my suit? Where is my umbrella?
What if I am soaking wet when I get there?
What if there is an accident on the road
and traffic is delayed.”

Then I went to get ready and I put
on my shoes and they weren’t my shoes.
They looked like my shoes but they were
too big. I think they were my friend’s
shoes. I have no idea how this happened.
So then I decided to wear
2 pairs of socks so they would fit
better.

I was like, “geeze so many things going
wrong.”

So I still couldn’t find my umbrella.

Then I thought maybe I can buy one really quick
but then nothing was open this early that
sold umbrella’s.

So then I was getting ready and
realized that I didn’t finish the bipolar
daily email. I thought about sending it
later but I knew people would be all
mad.

Then my computer crashed and I lost most of
what I wrote. So then I rewrote it. Then
I had to copy and paste it and send it
out.

NOTE-
As I drove, there was a HUGE accident
on the road and of course traffic was stopped
dead. I was on track to be late. Which I was
but they were okay because they heard about
the big storm and the traffic delays.

The interview went really well. They were
really happy. I felt happy that it was over.

I got back home late and saw people posting
comments about me reusing old emails.

I called Michele and said, “Michele, why
are people saying I reuse emails?”

She said, “I don’t know. I have no idea.”

I had no idea what they were talking about.

Here is a sample message:

“HI Dave, at first when I was getting the
emails, it felt like you were in daily
contant with all of us, seeing you doing
emails every day was somewhat comforting,
so I have some advice to you, I know marketing
and advertising techniques and this was a good one,
until I received this email today, and it said
something to the effect of the new year coming
and to set goals. It was obvious this was an
old email…

I would suggest you update this one
so not to lose people, for if anything people
with bi-polar are hot and cold, and if they
think they are being ‘taken’ in any way they
will drop you or anyone like a hot rock.
Just my 2 cents! Cheers.”
–Laura-Lee

So I then I started looking and noticed that
some how the top of my new message got connected
to an old goal setting message I had. I have no
idea but I was so tired and stressed that I probably
messed it all up.

The bottom line is this, I don’t reuse emails
but let me tell you this. This takes an INCREDIBLE
AMOUNT OF TIME TO DO EVERY DAY.

I don’t think people realize this. EVERY DAY
I have to think of something to write, tie a
lesson into it, write it, put it in the system,
hit send. There are a bunch of things that
have to be done and it takes at least one hour.
Everyday, including my birthdays, holidays, vacation
days, etc. So I would appreciate if people forgave
me for the mistake that I made.

I am surprised that it didn’t happen before.
I don’t think people realize how much I have
going on each day and it’s hard to fit this
in but I do.

Anyway, that bring up today’s lesson which
when you are dealing with bipolar disorder, stuff
is going to come up. I find that 99% of the time
when you are honest, people will forgive you.

I know there will be some people on my list that
say things like:

“You are lying, that didn’t happen.”
“If you can’t do it right everyday, don’t do
it at all.”

Etc.

Oh well. I can’t please everyone but I feel that
I provide a ton of valuable information every day.
Information that my dad says would have dramatically
changed his life if he had access to it for the 40 years
he has been married to my mom.

Speaking of my mom…

When I was helping my mom, I forgot appointments,
I didn’t show up to things, I couldn’t do this and
that and I just told people the truth. Which always
was–my mom is really sick and I am stressed sorry
I messed up.

People understood.

This is a great lesson.

In my courses/systems below:

SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?
Visit:
http://www.bipolarsupporter.com/report11

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

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

Things came up with many of the success stories.
They had to just deal with it. Most people reported
to me that people forgave them and understood.

Now it gets difficult sometimes when you have
bipolar disorder. Do you tell them what really happen
or tell a white lie? Most people with bipolar disorder
tell them something that is vague but enough information
people will not dig further.

What do I mean?

Instead of saying you missed work because you went
into a depressive episode you say, “I missed
work because I am not feeling well.”

You just have to think of a good story that doesn’t
expose yourself too much but provides enough information
that people don’t ask for more information or dig for
information.

In my case I simply just told you exactly what happen,
that I messed up somehow.

I teach this so very important concept because
when you are dealing with bipolar disorder
stuff comes up.

In another example, I have someone who works
for me that has bipolar disorder. She does a
GREAT and I mean great job.

She was suppose to get some things done the
other day and something really bad came up
for her. She is okay. 99% of the time she
is always on time and gets stuff done ahead
of time. In this case she didn’t. It wasn’t
the end of the world.

She came to me and told me directly what happened
and I said, “no problem, I understand.”

Now you don’t want to make a pattern of this
but when you are dealing with bipolar disorder
stuff will come up.

Anyway, I really have to run because I am behind
schedule and I wanted to send an email talking
about what happen to yesterday’s daily email,
saying sorry and reminding you of this important
lesson.

Your Friend,

Dave

=>PLEASE FORWARD TO FRIENDS, FAMILY AND LOVED ONES <= Hi, I have my big interview today. I am slightly
worried because I don’t even get the questions
ahead of time. It’s suppose to be natural. This isn’t
for bipolar stuff it’s for my consulting business.

I have to get going so I can brainstorm what
I think the questions will be.

Before I take off to go to New York City,
today I want to talk to you about:

THE IMPORTANCE OF GOAL SETTING

Many people have zero goals and as a result get
nothing done. I’m not necessarily talking about
lazy people, either. These people look and act
normal in every way – they may be your friend
or neighbor, your family member, your spouse,
or even you!

They seem to have a very normal life. They
may even feel like they have a boring life, in
fact. That’s because they have no goals to
strive for.

If you have no goals, you will not really
accomplish anything. Every day will seem
to be like the next. You will get up, go to
work, come home, go to bed. Every day.

Your work life will be just as boring as your
home life, again, because you have nothing
to strive for. You are in a dead-end job; you
have no professional goals, either.

In my courses and systems, I discuss how very
important it is to have and to make goals for
yourself – both short-term and long-term goals:

SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?
Visit:
http://www.bipolarsupporter.com/report11

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

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

When you’re talking about bipolar disorder,
typical goals might include: to be stable, to
not miss doctor’s appointments, to become
financially independent, etc.

Making To-Do Lists is a good way to help
you to achieve your short-term goals, and
not to overwhelm you.

I asked 16 people in a day what their goals
were for the next year and only one of them
had even a vague idea.

With the new year coming up, and people
thinking about what their New Year’s
Resolution is going to be, people have
change on their minds anyway. So this is
a good time to be setting goals.

Remember, you can set short-term and
long-term goals. Don’t set goals that will
be impossible for you to reach, or you will
just set yourself up for failure, and you
don’t want that. So make sure these goals
will be ones you can reach – if not sooner,
then later.

Make your goals reasonable goals. Make
sure these goals are suitable goals for you.
Make sure these goals are for YOU, and
not goals you think other people want you
to have.

Setting a short-term goal and reaching it
can be a wonderful boost to a poor self-
esteem. Try it!

Hey, I have to go to New York now.
Catch you tomorrow.

Your friend,

Dave

=>PLEASE FORWARD TO FRIENDS, FAMILY AND LOVED ONES <= Hi, What’s new? Hope you are doing well today. Good news. I finally made my first
video with a topic related to
bipolar disorder. I think it’s really
cool.

NO this is not going to be a video
that you would see in the movies that
cost $25,000,000. I don’t have that
kind of budget J

BUT, it doesn’t work for me. Can you
believe it? When I go to the website
that it’s at, I can’t view it. BUT it
works for every other person on my
team.

I don’t want to release it yet until
I figure out why it won’t work for me.
I should have it figured out in a few
days.

I will be sending out an email. Stay
tuned.

I have to make this super quick because I have
to take off and get ready for a big
meeting that I have tomorrow–a
meeting that I have for my consulting
business that has nothing to do with
bipolar disorder.

But before I go, I wanted to talk
to you about something that happen.

There’s a person that works for me
in this organization for helping
both bipolar supporters and bipolar
survivors.

This person has been having trouble
for the last couple of weeks–trouble
with his bipolar disorder.

So we were talking and basically this
is what happen. He was taking medication
for another condition that he has involving
his nerves (not mental health nerves but like
nerve damage).

The doctor prescribed this medication for him.

Hey, speaking of doctor, I don’t think that
I have had this in a few days.

I am NOT a doctor, therapist, lawyer, insurance
agent and I am NOT offering any medical or legal
advice.

So, his bipolar disorder started getting worse.
What do I mean by worse? Well he because less stable
and it was just hard to deal with his bipolar disorder.
At first he didn’t know why.

So to make a really long story short, and I do, because
I have to go, his medications for his nerve damage
were affecting his bipolar medications.

Then I was talking to someone else that was telling
me that his wife had taken d.iet p.ills. These pills
caused her to go into a manic episode.

Then I was talking to another person that had
to start taking medication for another illness
not related to bipolar disorder or mental
health and this created problems for the person’s
bipolar disorder.

In ALL cases, these people never let the
psychiatrist know that a new medication or
supplement was being taken and asked how it
could affect the bipolar medication.

This is a big no no.

In my courses/systems below:

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

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

I talk about how you ALWWAYS should run
everything past the doctor for bipolar
disorder and let him/her know what is
going on.

If you don’t big problems can occur.
This happen to my mom as well. She was
taking medication for something. I forgot
what but it interfered with her bipolar
medication. So her PCP (primary care
physical) and her doctor for bipolar
disorder, worked it out.

But they never would have unless my
mom pushed to have them work it out.

Remember this, anytime you introduce
something new into your system
it can affect your bipolar disorder.
Always run it past your doctor for
bipolar disorder. That’s why they
get paid the big bucks. But, many
times they don’t even charge when
you tell them this information and
get their opinion.

It’s a good idea to type up a document
of what you are taking and fax it to them.
Then fax them permission to speak to your
other non bipolar doctor.

I have found most doctors fair with their
time unlike lawyers who charge even
when you think about them 🙂

Okay, sorry not all lawyers. But for
every lawyer reading this thinking, “hey
Dave, I am not like that.” You know there
are many like that.

NOTE-Remember natural supplements can
adversely affect bipolar disorder medications.
Let your doctor know about these as well.
And if you are a bipolar supporter you can
simply follow in instructions in my bipolar
supporter course on how to communicate
this to your loved one’s bipolar doctor.

Okay, hey I have to go. Catch you tomorrow.
I must off to the library.

Have a great day. Oh, and if you have a story
about this type of situation that I described
today and want to share please do. I know
a TON of people have had this problem on
my list.

Your Friend,

Dave

=>PLEASE FORWARD TO FRIENDS, FAMILY AND LOVED ONES <=
Hi,

What’s new?

I hope you are doing well.

I was food shopping–yes I do
my own food shopping like everyone
else.

I was buying some chicken. Why? Well
because I eat a lot of chicken.

Anyway, I was in the chicken isle.
I was standing there.

I was super confused because the
sign said 50% off but it was totally
confusing as to what. Was it on
the chicken? The beef? The chicken
and the beef? Was the price already
marked down?

So a guy was standing next to me.
We both were looking at the chicken
and sign. After about 7 minutes he
looked at me and said, “am I a moron
or does that sign really confuse you. What’s
50% off and what isn’t?”

I said, “I have no idea.”

The guy said, “If I call my wife, she
will yell at me and maybe divorce me
for being incompetent.” I said, “well
you probably shouldn’t call her.”

So then an older lady walked
by (75+). I said, “Excuse me Ms.”
She said, “you going to ask me out
on a date?”

I said, “umm, no not really, but I was
wondering if you knew if the chicken
was 50% off.” She said, “just read the
sign.”

I said, “well, umm, I didn’t the sign
is confusing…see?” She said, “it says
50% off.” I said, “well I know but it doesn’t
say off what?”

Both the guy and myself explained
how the sign makes no sense. She insisted
that it did.

FINALLY she agreed. So then she said why
don’t you ask someone. I said, “well umm,
we tried but there is no one back in the
meat section.”

She said, “Honey, God gave you feet so use
them.” She then said, that the other guy should
go and ask because he was younger than her.

He was like, “Hey, I am 63 years old.” She said,
“I am 72.” I said, “I guess I am going since I am
the youngest.”

So I walked up and looked for a manager. The store has
like 1 manager for a store the size of a city—which
makes no sense.

So I asked him. He talked about 1000 words per second
and basically called me a dummy. I was so super mad
that I went into super mad mode and said, “look, I have
wasted a lot of time with this nonsense. I want you
to come back here NOW please and look at the darn
sign.”

So then he came back and I showed him how the sign
was totally flawed.

It was in the wrong spot
It didn’t really say what was on sale
It didn’t say if it was for beef and/or chicken
It didn’t say if the price on the label was marked down

He agreed. I said, “SEE everyone.” The older lady said,
“Shame on you.” The other guy was checking with his
wife and I could tell she was yelling at him, he kept
saying, “Honey, the sign isn’t clear. There is a gentleman
trying to figure it out. I’m sorry. Yes I read the sign.
Yes I know how to shop. I can do things without you. I will
be home really soon.”

It was funny. Anyway, we found out the deal. It was on
chicken/beef. The prices were marked down. So the
other guy got a bunch and went on his way.

What the heck does this have to do with bipolar disorder?
Nothing. Just kidding. Seriously it does.

After driving home I was thinking about the following
important concept.

MANY times with bipolar disorder you are going to
get really, really, really, really vague instructions
on stuff.

For example, “take a bunch of these.” These meaning
medications but with no real instruction. You have
to go back and get clarification. Either you the
bipolar supporter or the person with bipolar disorder.

I think it’s totally unfair that some doctors throw
medication at a person with little to know instruction
and expect them to understand.

If you are a bipolar supporter, you have to watch
out for this. You should know how to take the medication
so you can help your loved one.

When my mom was in the outpatient program in the first
week, they made her take a bunch of medication. I remember
thinking, “how in the world do you take this stuff? It doesn’t
make sense to me?” I was super confused. Then we called
the doctor and asked. He talked about 500 words a second.
I was like, “SLOW DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I was super annoyed.
I was like “what the heck is wrong with these people?”

Finally we got instructions and my mom began to understand.

I asked the doctor over the phone for a system to keep
track of everything. He said and I quote, “I don’t know,
I gotta go.” I was thinking, “what a doctor.”

So then I went to Walmart and asked about 40 people how
to take lots of medication. I took all the ideas and
combined them into a system that I bought my mom back
home.

Sometimes I think about how much work I did to figure
this out and it’s amazing? Geeze I had to walk around
Walmart bumping into people and asking, “hi, my name
is David. My mom has to take a bunch of medications for
an illness and we were trying to create a system
to help her manage it. I was wondering if you had
and ideas?”

A normal human wouldn’t even be able to do such a
thing because they would get made fun of, people
would run away, and it was like sales. Well all those
things happen to me. Since I was in sales, it didn’t
even really phase me. I think some people thought
I was out of my mind.

In my courses/systems I talk about how bipolar
supporters have to help their loved ones take their medication.

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

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

I also talk about how those with bipolar disorder need to
create an effective system to remember which mediations
they took and when.

Another thing you’ll hear is

Find a good doctor (but they don’t tell you how)
Find a good therapist (but they don’t tell you how)
Find a job (but the don’t tell you how)
Get on disability (but they don’t tell you how to survive
with such little money

on and on.

Luckily ALL of that is covered in my courses/systems.
I have learned the hard way.

Wow, just I totally forgot about walking around the
Walmart bumping into random people trying to invent
a bipolar medication management system. Wow that
wasn’t a lot of fun.

Hey I have to take off. I’ll catch you tomorrow.

Your Friend,

Dave

=>PLEASE FORWARD TO FRIENDS, FAMILY AND LOVED ONES <= Hi, How’s it going? I hope you are doing well. I am probably going to offend
some people today. But I have
to say this. It’s important.

I know I will get a whole lot of
hate mail from this email 🙂

I am actually getting ready to take
off for the gym and I was thinking about
something that happen to me yesterday.

We just setup some super duper
system that monitors whether or not
emails that I send are actually getting
to the people I send them to.

Anyway, I had to look at my entire list of
email addresses in my database. It’s a ton
like over 190,000.

I was scanning the addresses and looking
and noticing something strange.

Before I tell you, I have to explain
something–“the front part” of an email
and the domain name.

Let’s look at an example email. This
email does NOT work.

davidtest@leverageteamllc.com

The davidtest is the front part. The leverageteamllc.com
is the domain. I have no idea what “the front part”
is really called.

Anyway, as I looked at my list I saw this:

crazyoldlady
manicmike
Iamcrazy
crazyoldwoman
insane247
(note, probably means 24 hours a day
7 days a week)

NOTE-
I didn’t include the domain name to protect
the privacy of each person. Plus I don’t want
a thousand people writing them.

There were TONS of these people.

I thought to myself that’s really
strange.

Why in the world would someone internalize
the worst part of bipolar disorder.

Then I thought about a whole bunch of
things in my life.

People who acted a certain way because
they thought they should be that way.

My one friend that had a tattoo that
said “simple insane” across his chest.
For years he got into so many fights
because well he thought he had to
because he was suppose to be tough.
After he stop internalizing being
“insane” he is on his way to becoming
a millionaire. He made like $500,000
last year. 10 years prior he was facing
jail time.

Another friend of mine that has a big
gigantic tattoo which I can even write
here. The tattoo means that he doesn’t
follow rules. For years he was off the wall
and always in trouble. Today, he is reformed,
getting married has a good job, but for too long
he internalized craziness.

There was a person on my list with bipolar
disorder. Her front part of her email was
like crazyjane. I first spoke to her
when I started this.

I had a long one hour talk with her and
said to her, “if you keep doing what you are
doing, you’re going to be dead.” She was shocked.
I said, “I give it straight. You are too talented
to keep acting crazy. I told her to lose the email
address. Stop acting like a fool. Follow my system
(which her parents bought for her), find a great
doctor, listen to the doctor, get a therapist,
and do good in life not bad and stupid things.

She actually listened. Today she is incredible. She
is married. Has a great job. Stable. Volunteers
to help other people with bipolar disorder out.
But for years, she internalized craziness because
she thought that’s what she was suppose to be.

In my courses/systems below:

HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?

You hear story after story of people with
bipolar disorder that make this fatal mistake.
The thinking goes like this.

NOTE-I am going to say it like the person
who has bipolar note like it’s from me.

I have bipolar
Bipolar equals craziness
I am going to act crazy because I have bipolar
I am going to do everything I can to go along
with crazy things–like change the front part of
my email to have a word like crazy in it because
that’s what I am suppose to do/be

See how it works?

This is bad.

Now, one last thing. This goes along with bipolar
supporters as well. But in this way.

THE BIPOLAR SUPPORTER

The bipolar supporter can think like this
and this causes the person with bipolar disorder
to do the exact opposite of what should be done.

Things like this are said and thought by the
bipolar supporter:

-They will be “crazy” forever
-They’re so crazy
-Don’t expect much from them, they are out of it
most of the time
-You can’t count on them because they’re crazy

See how this thinking works. That’s not made up.
I hear it every single day from all different
bipolar supporters.

So in summary.

If you have bipolar disorder, don’t internalize
craziness. What kind of front part do you have
for your email? How do you think about yourself?
Do you think bipolar disorder equals crazy?

If you are a bipolar supporter, realize your
thoughts about your loved one influence him/her.
Be careful how you think about him/her.

Hey, I have to run and go to the gym. Catcha tomorrow.

One last thing, in my organization which has lots
of people with a mental illness here’s how we think

-They’re going to be smart because they have a mental
illness

-They’re going to be creative because they have a mental
illness

-They’re going to be hardworking and dedicated because
they have a mental illness

-They’re going to get things done faster because
they have a mental illness

See the difference?

Your Friend,

Dave

Hi,

What’s new?

I hope you are doing well.

I have something that I want
to tell you today.

I actually have to make it kind of
quick. I snowed again last night
and I have to clean off my car
and head to the good old gym.

I also have to go to the library—I have
6 books that I MUST read by the end
of the day.

Anyway, I wanted to jump into
something right now.

Do you know what the number #1 bipolar
disorder killer is?

Take a guess then scroll.

NO CHEAT. Make sure you guess first and
then scroll…

Keep scrolling?

Annoyed? Scroll down further.

I think I have found out what the
#1 bipolar killer is:

I think it is IGNORANCE.

Think about it.

Webster’s dictionary says that
the definition of ignorance is
“being ignorant.” And the
definition of ignorant is:

“destitute of knowledge or
education.” See that?

Destitute means poor. Actually,
really poor. So someone who
is ignorant is “really poor in
education or knowledge.”

I don’t know about you, but
I always thought an ignorant
person was someone who was
just stupid.

But now I realize how that’s
just a really mean thing to think
about someone who is ignorant,
because it’s not that they’re stupid,
it’s just that they DON”T KNOW!

In all my courses, I stress so much
the importance of KNOWLEDGE:

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

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

You know how I am always
stressing the value of knowledge,
how I’m always preaching about
how important it is to keep
educating yourself about bipolar
disorder.

That’s what all my courses are
all about! That’s what all my
emails are all about. That’s what
all my newsletters are all about.
That’s what my website is all
about. That’s what *I* am all
about!

I want to educate you about
bipolar disorder. I want you to
learn everything you can learn
about the disorder, so that you
can master it instead of it mastering
you. (Sound familiar?)

Ignorance, by definition meaning,
NOT KNOWING, can lead to a
person not taking their medication
or the right medication because they
don’t know what to tell their doctor.

Ignorance can lead to a person committing
suicide because they DON”T KNOW
what else to do!

Let’s think about that. Ignorance leads
to people NOT KNOWING what to do.

Can you see how serious that can be
when you’re dealing with bipolar
disorder?

Now do you see why I’m always
preaching about you getting as
much knowledge about the disorder
as you can?

Why I’m always telling you that
next to medication that knowledge
is the next important thing to
recovery from bipolar disorder?

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.

It’s true. The fastest route to the
life of stability is to gain knowledge.

Knowledge is the opposite of
Ignorance.

Which are you going to choose?

Your Friend,

Dave
