8 updates and Current Bipolar News

PLEASE FORWARD TO YOUR FRIENDS

Hi,

How’s it going?

I decided on getting the news out
early today. Before I take off
for the gym.

A few things.

.5. (What’s .5? well I forgot something and didn’t
want to renumber. Sorry.)

People have asked me where all my programs are.
Here is a link to most of them. Not all of them
but most of them. I am working on having them
all in one spot.

http://www.bipolarcentral.com/catalog.asp

1. I am going to be doing a f.ree teleseminar
answering NON medical and NON legal questions
about bipolar disorder (since I am NOT a doctor,
therapist, financial advisor, circus worker (someone
asked), or dentist (someone wrote me their is a
famous David Oliver dentist. That’s not me).

I will keep you posted. We have this new technology
to make this happen. As soon as we work out some bugs
with the system I will send a notice.

2. I may have positions opening up in my consulting
company for hedge funds and investment banks (what
I do to support this organization), I will be possibly
sending a link to a small segment of my list. Since
my list has grown so big, if I send a job listing
out it get filled super fast.

3. We are expanding into Borderline Personality Disorder
(which my mom therapist thinks she has and my mom’s
doctor doesn’t feel it’s important for my mom to have
any other labels), along with schizophrenia. We have
a new person on the team with schizophrenia so we are
going to be writing articles in this area as well.
I will send you a link.

4. I am really tired today 🙂 It’s been a tough
week. We had a whole lot of difficulties to deal
with and three key people that work for me
are away. 2 are coming back on Monday so I
will have less stress.

5. I am going to be taking volunteers. Lots of people
want to volunteer but I don’t have a system to
keep track of everyone. Someone who works for
me that has 6 different disorders and is
SUPER SMART gave me the perfect idea. I will sending
it out and if you are interested in volunteering
let me know.

6. Lots of people are asking again if I am
a real person. Someone wrote me a long letter
saying I don’t have a mother. I actually called
my friend who is a scientist and asked if it’s
possible that you can not have a mother. I think
he thought I was totally out of my mind. Everyone
knows I do stuff in the mental health field and
when you ask random questions they think, “oh geeze,
he finally lost it. I feel bad for him.”

He said even if I was born in a lab which my
mom and dad swear I wasn’t that I would still
technically have a mother.

The other questions I get is if I am a real person.
I am confident that I am real person. I have even
meet subscribers in person. Many in New Jersey.
Some in New York. One in San Diego. One in
a book store in PA. One in CT.

Finally I am asked how I have the energy to
send all these emails every day. Well it’s hard.
There are days that I don’t feel like it. But
I just do it. I have gotten use to it. It’s now
part of my schedule like brushing your teeth.
It takes me up to an hour a day.

If you wonder why I sound stressed or rushed
well some days I am. It’s not automated. I type
each one first thing in the morning and
send it out. Imagine that you had to subtract
a hour from your morning every morning 365 days
a year–including holidays. You might be rushed
or stressed.

7. I have a goal of adding 20,400 articles
related to mental health on a site. Actually this idea
was presented to me years ago. It was really
expensive and way more than I wanted to invest.
The articles will be free to review, read, print
off, etc.

It’s a MASSIVE project. It will require up to
25 people working on it every week for a year.

Recently someone who works with me gave me
an amazing idea that will ultimately lead to
getting this done. I will keep you posted.

Hey I have to go.

Okay finally, Here’s the current bipolar news.

Here are some of the headlines:

Twice as many teens seek help for mental health
DO> Sometimes I think teens think having a mental
disorder is cool. Hmm. I am not sure if this is
good or bad.

Police get training on dealing with mentally ill
DO> Police are generally afraid of people with a
mental illness. I have lots of friends that are
police. One said they would rather go to Iraq then
go and deal with someone in an episode. I told him
dealing with people in an episode is not difficult.
He told me I was out of my mind 🙂

Signs of bipolar disorder
DO> You should now this but reread for a refresher
course.

Your Friend,

  1. HELLO DAVE; I MUST TELL YOU THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS I LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING OUT OF BED EACH DAY. WHY YOU MAY ASK. SO I CAN READ YOUR DAILY EMAIL YOU SEND ME. YOU SEE, I HAVE BIPOLAR TOGETHER WITH MY RELAPSING-REMITTING MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. HOW COULD ONE PERSON BE SO LUCKY RIGHT? I AM ALSO THE PROUD OWNER OF YOUR BIPOLAR COURSE, HOW WONDERFUL IT IS. I WOULD BE HONORED TO RECOMMEND IT SHOULD YOU ASK. I REALLY HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I KNOW WHY I AM THE WAY I HAVE BEEN FOR THE PAST 40 PLUS YEARS, (I’M 51). WHAT AN EYE OPENER, AND HERE I THOUGHT I WAS JUST PLAIN STRANGE AND BRAIN DAMAGED…….:) OH, DID I HAPPEDN TO MENTION THAT I AM HOMEBOUND? WELL I AM. WHY YOU MAY ASK? BECAUSE MY BIPOLAR IS VERY HARD FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND AND IT SEEMS TO REALLY ‘REAR IT’S HEAD’ WHEN I AM IN THE PUBLIC. STRANGE, I THOUGHT I LIKED PEOPLE, MUST BE JUST ANOTHER THING I HAVE BEEN WRONG ABOUT. I GO INTO TOTAL FITS OF EITHER LAUGHING OR CRYING 95% OF THE TIME WHEN SOMEONE TAKES ME OUT, EVEN IF IT IS TO THE DOCTORS OFFICE, EXCEPT MY ‘GP’. I THINK THE REASON I DON’T GO ‘NUTS’ WHEN I GO TO SEE HIM IS BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN MY ‘GP’ FOR OVER 25 YEARS AND I TRUST HIM 110%. WELL, I HAVE BORED YOU ENOUGH FOR ONE DAY. I KNOW YOU ARE A VERY BUSY MAN, I JUST HAD TO TELL YOU THAT I AM VERY APPRECIATIVE FOR YOU AND YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND FOR SHARING WITH ME AND THE REST OF THE WORLD. I MAY BE PHYSICALLY ALONE, (DID I MENTION I HATE IT?), BUT AT LEAST THERE ARE OTHERS WHO ARE WALKING IN MY SHOES ALSO, I AM SORRY TO SAY. SHOULD THERE EVERY COME A TIME THAT I CAN DO ANYTHING FOR YOU, (REMEMBER I HAVE NOTHING BUT TIME!:)) DON’T HESITATE TO CONTACT ME. I REMAIN, RESPECTFULLY; JEANNETTE KONTICH

  2. Hi Dave,Your e-mails have been very helpful to me and my family. I am in need of some more answers if ANYONE can help me. My husband has had 2 manic episodes in the past week where he is very violent destroying things and threatening physical harm to me and my 16 yr old. The mental anguish my son is going through right now is unbeleivable! My husband won’t hear of the fact there may be some thing mentally wrong with him and refuses to see a doctor. How do I pursuade him to get help? I don’t have the money to pay for this information because my husband also refuses to work and support us because we’re (me and our 3 kids ages 16.20,21)are not worth his time. I can’t handle hearing his words tear us down any longer. I’m scared to leave or move out with the kids because I’m afraid he’ll try to kill me if I try to leave with the kids (who all live at home at this time). Any advice??Anyone,please help!

  3. Barb, Hang in there, I’ll be pryaing for you. Continuously. I am diagnosed bipolar but feel that I am a byproduct of a bipolar counterpart. He, would not admit or seek treatment so I did, medications to deal with the pain of all the horible ugly things said the breaking of everthing that is breakable for 20 plus years, I got treatment which has helped the family situation considerably. I am off the medications now I still see my GP every 2 months and I can feel again and also deal h the daily routine.
    Dave, Thank you for your website
    Wanda

  4. Dave, thank you for everything that you write about and share with us. I have learned and do forward your emails to people who I think are confused about mental illness. 🙂

  5. hi dave, i must say i’ve been reading what you have been sending me and i feel your talking about me. i’m on 4 different meds. my doc just increased 1 of them, my wife is sure glad i got diagnosed but she don’t understand what i deal with she says my meds work but i feel sometimes they don’t we don’t argue that much any more boy i’m having an episode now cause i’m jumping around and i’m not feeling well i’m feeling i’m in the dumps now i was busy earlier now after showering and i’m sitting here and feel bad i get frustrated when she tells me to come to bed and i’m tired but can’t go to bed til about 1 or 2am then i get up at 6:30am i just want to say thanks for everything. stacy c.

  6. Hi Dave,
    On the “why” thing, complete waste of time, imagine that could make a supporter not so stable. I have had some horrible reactions to things my son have said to me at no time , even after the stapler incident, did he ask me why. He knows why, I wanted him to take over the money, he will not read your books, he has no clue the little money I have is not been paying any bills at all. One guy owns most of the property where I live I am trying to do a short sale with him, he said I can stay here, pay him rent. That is about the only responsible thing I am doing, besides going to school to be a medical asst. and after a couple of D’s which are F’s my grades have climbed to an A in lab and a B in theory. Spelling and Terminology is a challenge, nothen like getting up at three in the morning running the dog and doing homework. If someone was to actually ask me why I did something, they would probably get an ,” because cus cus cus!” or the time a cop clocked me doing 97mph out of the Caldacot Tunnel, he asked me why I did not slow down after I saw him, I really tried, this is what I said “I miss my dog.”yes it was rather costly, what a perfect excuse, not. I am with you Dave, total waste of time tryen to figure out why we do what we do. Rollarcoaster!!!!!!!!!
    Thanks for all you do Dave,
    Karen—back to homework

  7. Hi Barb,
    I am a very violent bipolar, we will hurt people, I am telling you to get your son and get the
    F— out and away from your husband untill he gets to a doctor for a tune up! Do not play with bipo, it is not your husband, grab your child and go somewhere safe.
