Hi,
How’s it going?
I hope you are doing well.
Hey today I was suppose to talk about the
truth about using my mom’s story and how
she feels about it but I am going to do that
tomorrow or the next day. I hope you don’t mind.
I have a shocking bipolar story to tell you. Read on…
I am doing great! Yesterday two of my key people
that work for me came back and let me tell you,
in a very short period of time, they started
getting a huge amount done.
The number #1 thing that they did was focus
on how to deal with the handful of people
on my list that are creating all kinds of problems.
People who have:
-committed massive fraud
-said I broke into their houses and stole their
rent money, grocery money, etc.
-People saying that I owe them money for
“tools” they bought at Home Depot (Not only
do I not really know how to use tools well
but I certainly don’t sell any)
-People who threaten each other on the blog.
This is really alarming. The “don’t say that
or I will get you. Then oh yea, go ahead and
try” groups of people.
-People who use really, really, really, bad
language on the blog.
-People who have threaten to “get me”, “kill
me”, and all kinds of other things.
-People who keep giving my cell phone number
out in psychiatric hospitals around the country.
You might be reading this and thinking that I am
out of my mind because it all sounds so strange.
It really is. My friend said me, “Hey Dave, did
you ever think you would be dealing with the kinds
of things that you are dealing with?”
I said, “Yes.” Because I always knew and
always have been involved with a) things I like
b) things that are fun c) things that are challenging.
Dealing in mental health is all of what I listed.
Anyway, after hours of brainstorming
with these super smart individuals they formulated
a plan and a strategy. I must say I was super
impressed.
It’s amazing when you take individuals with
a mental illness that USE to be doing bad
things and get them focused on good things
for society.
I swear that the individual with one or more
mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder as
tremendous capacity and is smarter, more
creative and more capable than a regular person.
I know the doctors on my list will say, “Dave
that’s just not true. There are no studies to back
up what you say. Where’s the research?”
I understand that, I am just telling you what
I see in front of me—doctors may look for
research before they know something is
true or false. I go on the results that I see.
Maybe that’s why I am not a doctor.
On that note, let me say that again.
I am NOT a doctor, lawyer, financial advisor,
and I am NOT offering medical, legal, financial
or any other professional advice.
Okay, so we were making the system yesterday
so we will be allowing the posting of comments
to my daily bipolar emails on my bipolar blog
in the future after the new updated blog and new
system goes into place to deal with the handful
of people who are severely ill and posting threats.
So yesterday, after tons, and tons of research we
tracked down one person who was making attacks
against me. One person who was saying I stole from
them. One person who was writing the most disturbing
things and making up so many things.
I called the person to find out what was going on since
the person said that I owed him money.
Anyway, I got on phone and the person had an attitude
with me. I basically said you might as well forget about
getting f.ree money from me. The person said he would
go away if I sent him m.oney.
I was like, “I don’t care and I am reporting you so
don’t worry. You can keep on posting all kinds of things
and basically you aren’t hurting me, you are hurting those
who have a mental illness like bipolar disorder. You are
doing it by scaring those without one into believing
their loved ones will never get better. You are giving
the impression that those with a mental illness are crazy
and do crazy things. “
I told this person how many people who were worth
both bipolar supporters and bipolar survivors wrote me
personally and said how the posts were “crazy” and
how sad it was. Those with bipolar disorder were embarrassed
and those who were bipolar supporters said things like,
“Man, Dave I feel sorry for you. I would never want
to be you. I can’t imagine what it’s like to work with
people with bipolar disorder. I think my loved one
will never get better.”
I explained to this person how much damage posting
things like he does to society and not to me.
SIDE NOTE-I made it clear to anyone who called me
and suggested that anyone who works for me is in anyway
like the people who posted crazy things on my blog. They
are NOT. People that suggested this said sorry and understood.
Anyway then this guy was speaking to started to cry and say
sorry.
I asked if he was on medication and asked when he last saw
his doctor. He said that his doctor changed his bipolar medication
and now he isn’t feeling well or doing well.
I said, “you need to immediately call your doctor and go in for
an emergency visit. This is an emergency.”
He said the doctor is busy and one doctor threw him out of
the office. He told me that his wife left him, his family
will not return his calls. He has no friends or family.
He said that bill collectors call every day demanding
money but he doesn’t get any of the bills. He said
they all get lost.

I talk about how to handle when you have every single
thing going wrong because of bipolar disorder.
I you have lots of problems. I urge you to check out
my courses because the solutions to 99% of them
are in there whether you are a bipolar supporter
of an adult, a bipolar supporter of a teen or have
bipolar disorder yourself.
I have created solutions for so many situations no
matter how bad they are.
Oddly this person actually did get my course but he
said that it was stolen by the mail man—which is hard
for me to believe J
As he spoke to me, if he followed what was in my course
he would not be having a lot of these problems.
Anyway, he said how he is tired and bipolar has destroyed him
and he doesn’t know what to do.
I advised him to call the doctor. I told him I would
call for him and three way him in now. He said
he was really sorry and he would call and wanted
to call. I told him I would call right back in 7 minutes
to confirm that he called.
I also said to him. Do you want to help people?
Would you like to help people with this disorder?
He said yes. I said well I am invite you to call
your doctor, get well and then do an interview
with me about your experience and what mistakes
you’ve made so you can help others.
He said to me, “would you really want me to
do an interview?” I said “yes if you are stable
and can help people learn from your mistakes.”
He said okay and then I said okay will you
call the doctor now and promise to do so?
He said “yes.” I said, okay I will call you back
in 7 minutes to confirm your appointment.
I then explained what kind of language to use
to ensure he would get in ASAP.
I gave him a fail safe of calling 911 (emergency
services) as well. I asked him if he understood
and asked him if he promised to call if he
felt suicidal.
He said “yes.” He said “thank you, and I am
sorry I said all that stuff about you. I can’t
believe you care about me.”
I said “don’t worry about it.” Just go ahead
and make that call to your doctor and I will
call you back.
He said okay. I called back 7 minutes later
and he said he had the appointment and thanked
me. I told him I would check up on him to
see how he was doing afterwards.
This was a sad story of a person who really
has no support. He alienated his entire
family. He was basically sitting in an apartment
just barely existing and must have found
my website and then targeted me.
Hopefully his doctor will be able to modify
his medication very quickly so he can get
stable quickly.
It’s also interesting to note that he said a change
in his medication made him “feel” worse. I am
not sure if this is true or false. But he also did
indicate that he never told the doctor.
In these cases, it’s hard to know the exact truth.
Many times a person in an episode thinks something
is true when it’s not. It’s just hard to tell without
doing a comprehensive investigation.
The bottom line is that a change in medication can
create problems and you and your loved one need to
keep a good doctor posted every step of the way on
what’s going on.
Never forget that.
I hope the person who was attacking me can
become one of my success stories. There are
several people who have attacked me and then
a year later have come back and become my
friends. I don’t hold a grudge J
Hey, I just looked at the clock, I have to run.
Catch you tomorrow.
Your Friend,
Dave
