Bipolar Disorder? What Do You Want This Like??

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

Hi,

How’s it going?

You’re going to think I am crazy.

Before we get started, I am going to
tell you how I made a total fool out
of myself yesterday.

Okay, so first let me tell you,
I have a friend that is totally into
football. I played football for 14 years
but now I am retired so I am not into
like I use to be.

Anyway my friend totally is. He is
an Eagles fan. He loves the Eagles. Eagles
this and Eagles that. It’s really kind of annoying.

He has everything Eagles.

He kept telling me for about a week that
the Eagles should be in the Super Bowl (
the Super Bowl is the championship
game for football. The football where you
throw the ball. Hey, don’t laugh at the people
that don’t know. We have lots of international
readers so I have to explain).

Anyway, my friend kept saying it over and
over again. He then started telling me that
the Eagles are kind of in the Super Bowl.

I have no idea why. He was like, “doesn’t
it sound better to say the Eagles are in the Super
Bowl then the Pittsburgh Steelers?”

I was like, “whatever.”

Just so you are clear the Eagles are NOT
in the Super Bowl. It’s the Steelers versus
the Cardinals.

So anyway I was at the bank yesterday. I
was waiting around to talk to a bank person
and then lady was like, “hey who is your
pick for Sunday?” (Sunday is the day of the
game).

I was like “the Eagles.”

Seriously everyone started laughing at me.

THE ENTIRE BANK. Women AND men.

I didn’t know why. I felt kind of weird. I looked
around if there was someone else or something
else that was funny. I was kind of in deep thought
seriously thinking about articles I was going to
write for bipolar anyway.

So then I left the bank and when I was in the
grocery store it just occurred to me that I said
I wanted a team to win that was not playing
and I made a total fool out of myself.

I felt like driving back and explain this
entire story and then I was like, “who
cares if they think I am a moron.” lol.

It’s all my friend’s fault. I called and yelled
at him. He said, “the reason why you said
Eagles is because it sounds better.” He was
happy. He is sick and is obsessed with the
Eagles. He needs therapy of some kind.

Okay this has nothing to do with bipolar
I just needed to tell someone.

Let’s move on to today’s topic about
bipolar disorder.

I have a really great idea for you today.

Today is going to be the day that you
spend at least one hour describing what
you want your life to be like.

If you are a bipolar supporter, you should write
down exactly what you want your life
to be like for yourself, and with the
person you are supporting with
bipolar disorder.

If you have bipolar disorder, you will
write what you want your life to be like for
yourself, and with your supporter.

If you do this, you are much more likely to
accomplish your goal, because it is written
down.

In my courses/systems below, I teach about
the value of writing things down. I suggest
journaling your thoughts and feelings as a
way of recording them. I teach about writing
down short- and long-term goals.

Most people don’t even know what they
want their life to be like, so they really
wind up being unhappy.

I once read in a book that if you ask 100
people what they want in life, 99 can’t tell
you at all!

Let me ask you this: If you don’t know
the destination, how will you ever arrive?

Think of it as if you went in a car and had
no idea where you were going!

That wouldn’t make any sense now, would it?

So think about this.

Think about your past. Think about where
you’ve been.

Has it made you happy?

Maybe parts of it has.

So include those parts.

But seriously think about what you want your
life to be like.

Do it in parts.

One month from now.

6 months from now.

1 year from now.

5 years from now.

10 years from now.

25 years from now (if you can).

Make it as detailed as you can.

The point is, if you don’t do this, you’ll
have no direction to your life.

And with no direction to your life…

You can’t be happy.

What do you think?

Hey how many people have no clue about
who is playing in the Super Bowl anyway?

Joy With Your Bipolar Disorder Revealed

Hi,

How’s it going?

I know, I know, the first thing you’re probably thinking is, “Dave’s really gone crazy this time!”

Next you’re probably wondering, “How can you possibly have joy if you have bipolar disorder?”

Well, I didn’t say it would be easy.

But it IS possible.

It has to do with your attitude.

Here’s a “for instance”:

If you think about the fact that there is no cure for bipolar disorder, you’ll have a bad attitude, and… NO JOY.

But if you think about the fact that the disorder can be treated, you can have a good attitude, and…

JOY!

Another example:

If you think about all the things you’ve lost because of bipolar disorder, you’ll have a bad attitude, and…

NO JOY.

But if you think about all the things you still have despite the disorder, you’ll have a good attitude, and…

JOY!

Are you starting to see what I’m getting at?

JOY IS ALL IN YOUR ATTITUDE!

In my courses/systems, I talk about how your attitudes can affect your stability:

I met a woman who told me this story:

Her husband had a stroke when he was 39 years old.

No one felt as sorry for him as he felt for himself, and he spent most of his time in bed, full of self-pity.

The doctors told him the stroke wasn’t really that bad – that with some rehab, he could be good as new!

But would he do it?

Nope.

He just laid around, depressed, full of self- pity, expecting his wife (the woman telling me this story) to do everything for him.

He lost all his joy.

Know why?

Yep, you guessed it.

Because he had a bad attitude!

Now, here’s the difference, and the moral of the story:

One day, in frustration, this woman said to her husband,

“There are 80-year-old men in your stroke support group more productive than you are! They swim, go out with friends, go to church, they volunteer… they’re happy! They don’t have a bad attitude like you do, just because they had a stroke!”

It took a long time, but slowly and surely this man recovered.

Because he changed his attitude, and…

JOY returned to his life!

I told you this story because it’s the same thing with bipolar disorder.

You can let it rob you of your joy and you can have a bad attitude (in which case, you’ll probably stay depressed and never get better), OR…

You can choose JOY with your bipolar disorder.

Which will YOU choose?

Who Supports the Bipolar Supporter?

Hi,

How’s your day going?

Thanks for all those who asked about my back. It still hurts today and on top if it, I have another cold.

I will be better soon but I am hanging in there.

Hey, so I got an email the other day:

“Dave, I don’t mean to complain, I really don’t. I mean, I know my husband is sick and all, and I really do believe he has bipolar disorder. It’s not that. And I’m not jealous of the attention he gets. I’m really not that kind of person. And I don’t mind taking care of him. I love him. It’s just that I’ve been doing it for such a long time, and I am really, really, tired. Really tired. Like I said, I don’t mind being my husband’s supporter. But Dave, let me ask you a question. Who supports the supporter?”

———————————————————-

Wow. This woman sounds really stressed out, doesn’t she?

But she raises a good question:

Who DOES support the bipolar supporter? In my courses/systems below I talk about how important it is to build a strong support system, not just for the person with bipolar disorder, but for their supporter as well:

HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?
Visit:
http://www.survivebipolar.net
If you, as the supporter, don’t develop your own strong support system, you will burn out. You have to have support, because you can’t do it all yourself, it’s that simple.

So who supports the supporter?

For one thing, you do. You support yourself. You have to take good care of yourself, or you won’t be able to take care of your loved one. You won’t have the strength or the energy.

This includes doing things that you enjoy, time away from your loved one, time spent with friends, family, having a job ( perhaps), having hobbies, etc.

You can’t spend every second with your loved one, and you can’t do things for your loved one that they can do for themselves (that’s called enabling).

Who else supports the supporter?

Your family.

You should have other people in your/your loved one’s family who can “spell” you once in a while so that you don’t always have primary responsibility for your loved one.

You do, sometimes, need time to yourself.

And they also should share some of the responsibility. After all, he/she is their family, too.

Who else supports the supporter?

Your friends.

Your friends should still be there for you, in spite of the fact that your loved one has bipolar disorder. They are still your friends.

You should still have something of a social life.

Everyone needs friends, and you are no exception.

There should be fun in your life, and friends can help you do that!

They can also be there as a shoulder to cry on when you need it.

Who else supports the supporter?

Co-workers.

Whether they know that you have a loved one with bipolar disorder or not, it doesn’t matter.

They should still be a part of your support system.

Who else supports the supporter?

If you are spiritual, you can go to a priest, minister, rabbi, etc. for spiritual support.

Join a church, and you can get plenty of support from other church members.

Who else supports the supporter?

The doctor.

They aren’t just there for your loved one, but they are there for you as well, since you’re part of your loved one’s support system.

Supporting you is part of helping your loved one to get better.

Who else supports the supporter?

The therapist.

If your loved one is following a good treatment plan, then they’re already seeing a therapist, but it might be a good idea for you to see one of your own, if you aren’t already doing so.

Then your therapist would be a good support for you.

Who else supports the supporter?

The support group.

Many supporters have found comfort and fellowship in bipolar supporter support groups.

If there is one in your area, you might be able to find support there.

If not, there are some very good support groups on the Internet.

There are also bipolar supporter chat groups and forums on the Internet where you can find support.

So who supports the supporter?

Plenty of people do.

You are NOT alone!

If you are a bipolar supporter, besides me, who supports you?

Are you or Your Loved One a Bipolar Cry Baby?

Hi,

I hope your day is going well.

I am behind schedule because I have been in pain.

Oh before I tell you about that, I need some help soon.

I am going to be posting a new job position for a person who can do a wide variety of things including but not limited to writing, researching, editing, admin stuff, thinking, planning and problem solving. I already have many people who work for me who fit this description but I need one more.

This would be a great position for someone who is on disability AND has one or more mental illnesses like bipolar disorder.

IMPORTANT NOTE

This does NOT mean I would not hire someone who does not have a mental illness.

I will be posting something soon about this.

Okay, I hurt my back AGAIN yesterday in the gym. I can’t believe it. It’s hard for me to sit for long periods of time.

It’s really odd, in the last few months, I have done things I have done in years:

-fall in the river (hiking…hasn’t happen in probably 16 years)

-slip and fall on ice (hasn’t happen in like 10 years)

-hurt my back (twice…hasn’t happen in like 8 years).

Very strange. Hopefully I got all the bad stuff out of the way for the year : )

Okay, let’s move on to today’s topic instead of getting you to feel bad for me.

I need to talk to you about something.

It’s something I taught about a few months ago as well but I wanted to bring it up again, okay?

Thanks.

Anyway, I got an email from someone that says that so much of what I say is incorrect.

That doesn’t bother me, because I know it isn’t true.

Then the person says that they just want to be heard.

Ok, a lot of people say that.

Then the person says how hard it is to live with bipolar disorder and that I don’t understand and it’s the worst.

Is this person a bipolar cry baby like someone who has bipolar disorder said to me?

I mean, talking about your problems is one thing.

Even a little complaining might be ok.

But there are forums for that – like your support group. Or even your friends or family.

But too much complaining might be considered being a cry baby.

Think about it – if someone comes to you and cries on your shoulder about their problems, you probably don’t mind, do you?

But if they go on and on and on about them (especially if you can’t do anything about them), you might consider them a cry baby.

In my courses/systems below, I talk about effective problem solving techniques:

Is your loved one a bipolar cry baby?

Do they come to you and complain about all their problems?

About things you can do nothing about?

And, if they do, how does it make you feel?

So, you don’t want to be that way, do you?

You don’t want to be a bipolar cry baby, I know you don’t.

So what’s the alternative?

I know I’ve told you this before, but it bears repeating.

You have to learn to be a good problem solver.

One way to do this is to list out all your problems.

Then you start listing out all the possible solutions, from the simplest to the most impossible, however you brainstorm them (someone told me, “the impossible just takes a little longer.”).

Now, I’m not saying that all these ideas are going to work, or even that you’re going to find your solution the first time that you try this technique. But at least you TRY to find a solution, instead of “crying” about it! And if you keep trying, I bet you WILL find a solution.

The important thing is that you become a problem solver instead of a bipolar cry baby, like that person said.

One person told me, “If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.”

Good advice, don’t you think?

Key Words Can Help Your Loved One With Bipolar

Hi,

Hope you’re having a good day.

I have a whole bunch of things to do today so I have to get going.

So let’s jump into today’s topic.

I have a woman who works for me, and she was telling me that when her children were little, she used to use a “warning system” for disciplining them.

If they were doing something bad, they would get three chances to change their behavior before they would get disciplined.

Her system was to say, “That’s one…”

And if they still didn’t stop, she’d say, “That’s two…”

Then if they still didn’t stop, she’d say, “That’s three!”

And the punishment would begin!

This way she would never have to discipline her children in anger, she says, because she would always give
them three chances first.

In fact, the way she puts it is, “I never punished my children. They punished themselves!”

I look at is that her use of the “one, two, three” system as using KEY WORDS.

In other words, she was using these words to try to get her children to change their behavior based on these certain words.

I talk about how important communication between you and your loved one is in my courses/systems below:

NEW LEARN THE SECRETS OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?

HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?
Visit:
http://www.survivebipolar.net
In the same way this woman used key words to
discipline her children, you can use key words
with your loved one.

Oh, not to discipline them, of course, but to communicate with them.

You can sit down with your loved one and develop these key words together.

Here can be a sample conversation:

YOU: I’ve noticed you’ve been acting sort of keyed-up lately.

THEM: Yeah, I have been kind of nervous.

YOU: I’m not always sure what to do when you feel like that, or even if you want my help.

THEM: I don’t know how to tell you that I need your help.

YOU: What if we come up with a key word that you can use that tells me that you need my help?

Then the two of you can come up with a key word together that only the two of you use in that situation.

Here’s another example:

YOU: I want to talk to you sometimes, but I don’t know how to approach you when you seem distant.

THEM: You just need to tell me.

YOU: I try to tell you, but sometimes I just don’t know how to get your attention, or to tell you how important it is.

THEM: How about if it’s something simple, you just say, “If you’ve got a minute…” but if it’s something important, you say, “Can we sit down?.” That way I’ll know the difference.

Do you see the use of key words in the second example? (“got a minute” and “sit down”)

Other examples of key words you can use with your loved one could be:

· If you notice they seem depressed, use the keyword “down”

· If you notice they seem manicky, use the keywords “excited” or “nervous”

· If your loved one is acting distant, use the keywords “share” (as in, “Is there something you want to share?”) or “listen” (as in, “If you want to talk, I can listen.”)

· If your loved one doesn’t seem like themselves lately, use the keyword “off” (“You seem a little “off” lately)

· “Brainstorm” is a good general keyword to use when you’re loved one seems troubled, as in, “You look like
you’re trying to figure something out. Maybe we can brainstorm some ideas together?”

These are some examples of general keywords, but it’s better if the two of you come up with keywords together.

You can even sit down with your loved one with this list and use some of these and see if they work for you.

Key words are especially useful in social settings – family gatherings, etc.

For example, if “nervous” is one of your keywords to signify between your loved one and you that your loved one is feeling anxiety around others, then when they say that keyword to you, you have agreed ahead of time that the two of you will leave. This will save embarrassment in those situations.

The most important thing is that you keep the lines of communication open between you.

Using key words is one of the ways to do that.

Don’t Fall For This Disability And Bipolar Disorder Trap

Hi,

How’s it going.

I am actually going to get a sandwich and I wanted to talk to you quickly about something.

The other day I sent out a notice on:

“Who Else Wants To Know The SHOCKING Truth About Disability And Bipolar Disorder?”

Located at:
https://www.bipolarsupporter.com/specialoffer/disability/
So many people wrote me immediately asking if this will help them get on Social Security disability.

The answer is NO. It will not.

Please do not get this resource if you are looking for that.

What it will tell you is the many mistakes People make with Social Security disability and bipolar disorder.

There are a ton.

One of the biggest mistakes people make is the fact that they think that disability is this sort of cure-all for bipolar disorder.

They think that once they get it, their money problems will go away, they don’t have to work, so on and so forth.

This is a big trap and is far from the truth. In this resource I go into great detail why this is not the case, and also many other things that people aren’t telling you about disability and bipolar disorder.

Another mistake people make is thinking that disability tells you everything you need to know if you do end up going on it, and this isn’t true either.

In this resource I reveal the truth about that, too.

One of the things is, they assume that you already know things that you don’t.

Well, I think you need to know these things.

Bipolar Lesson from Leonardo DiCaprio

Hi,

I hope you’re having a good day.

I was looking at a good movie to see today. I want to take a break.

I read an interview with Leonardo DiCaprio, who is such a famous movie star now that he makes $20 million per movie!

But the interview wasn’t about that – in fact, it wasn’t about fame and fortune at all.

This interview was about DiCaprio’s relationship with his “Oma,” his grandmother who had just died.

“Sometimes I’d ask Oma,” DiCaprio said, “Isn’t it great now, all this stuff happening in my life?”

And she answered him, “Don’t you worry about that. Take a break. Be a bricklayer. Work with your hands. You’ll love it. Step back and reflect on what’s going on in your life. Appreciate it.”

So here’s what he told the interviewer after that:

“I do appreciate it. I know how lucky I am.”

Wow.

No Hollywood hoopla. No ego.

No bragging about what a great star he is, how rich he is, how big his house is, what kind of car he drives, or how great his next movie is going to be.

He wanted to talk about his Oma, and the lesson she taught him.

And that’s what I want to talk to you about today.

“Step back and reflect on what’s going on in your life,” Oma said.

“I do appreciate it. I know how lucky I am,” DiCaprio said.

Both those who have bipolar disorder and their supporters can take a lesson from those wise words.

In my courses/systems, I tell you not to let bipolar disorder rule your whole life, and suggest ways for you not to let that happen:

You need to reflect on your life and make sure that it’s not centered entirely around your/your loved one’s bipolar disorder.

You need to reflect on what’s going on in your life. If all your activities are bipolar-related activities, you need to make some changes.

There should be more to your life than just bipolar disorder. You need to appreciate your life. You need to appreciate yourself, and the strength it takes on a daily basis to fight this disorder. You need to appreciate your relationship with your loved one, because you need to stick together against your common enemy, bipolar disorder.

You need to appreciate your family and friends who have stuck by you in spite of the disorder.

You need to appreciate the fact that you are not homeless and penniless, as many people are who have a mental illness.

You need to appreciate having a strong support system.

You need to appreciate having a good doctor, psychiatrist, and therapist.

You need to appreciate that YOU control the disorder, instead of the disorder controlling you.

Because it’s hard to appreciate a life that’s controlled by bipolar disorder.

There HAS to be more to your life than just the disorder.

There should be enjoyment in your life.

There should be productivity in your life.

There should be relationships in your life – family, friends, etc.

You should even have a social life.

Other than the occasional episode, you should be living a life as normal as someone who doesn’t have (or doesn’t have a loved one with) bipolar disorder.

So reflect on your life.

Appreciate it.

Appreciate all the small things that go into it to make it beautiful.

Take a lesson from Leonardo DiCaprio, so you too can say:

“I do appreciate it. I know how lucky I am.”

Bipolar Disorder? Make sure you do this.

Hi,

I hope today is a good day for you.

Today I want to talk to you about:

APPRECIATION

We hear a lot about appreciating things in life, big and small.

But the big things we should appreciate a lot – Like the fact that we are even alive, that counts for a lot.

Being healthy.

Our spouses, families, and children…and their health and well-being.

Our homes. Our cars (and the fact that they run).

Our jobs. Financial security.

But where does bipolar disorder fit into all that?

Those are all GOOD things, you’re probably thinking.

How can you possibly appreciate something like bipolar disorder?

You probably think I’m crazy.

In my courses/systems I talk about bipolar episodes, about having them and how to avoid having them.

I’m not saying having bipolar disorder is something to appreciate (that WOULD be crazy of me! 🙂

But what I’m saying is to appreciate the NON-episode times.

Many people think that bipolar disorder consists of episode after episode, but that’s not true.

In the normal course of the disorder, people can go months and even years between episodes.

What I’m telling you is to appreciate the NON-episode times.

Yes, you do still need to be prepared for episodes when they do come, I’m not saying that you don’t.

And you do still need to be vigilant and watch for signs and symptoms of episodes so that you can catch them before they happen.

Still be careful of triggers that may signal an impending episode.

But there are longer periods of normalcy than there are periods of episodes, and I’m saying to appreciate THOSE times.

Hey, I am heading off to the gym now. Catch you tomorrow.
