Are You Making The Bipolar Investment?

Hi,

I hope you’re having a good day.

I had many people over years ask me the following questions.

With your material on ways to make money from home, is an investment required with each business?

Why can’t I find a job at home no matter where I look?

When you look at both situations it centers around an investment in time AND money.

In my courses/systems, I talk about how you can start a home business:

Now with home businesses, ALL of them can require some “investment.”

Think about it, you have to put something into a business, even if it’s a few pennies.

With ANY job, you have to put an investment of TIME into finding it.

With businesses, it’s an investment of time and money over time.

If you have limited money, you would normally trade off with more manual labor and time.

For example, let’s say you have a business that needs to mail things to people.

Instead of paying a company to stuff the envelopes, you do it yourself.

What’s this have to do with bipolar disorder?

Well, bipolar disorder is an investment, too, just like a business is.

People need to invest their money and their time with bipolar disorder, in order to be successful with their disorder.

Just like with a business, if there is no investment of time and money, that business is going to fail.

If there is no investment of time and money for you, your efforts for stability with your bipolar disorder are going to fail.

This is what I’m talking about:

Bipolar disorder is an investment of money.

You may not have insurance.

If you don’t, you have to invest your own money for treatment for your bipolar disorder.

Doctors, psychiatrists, therapists, and (if it comes down to it) hospitals all are an investment of your money.

Your medication is an investment of your money as well.

Even if you do have insurance, it will still take an investment of your money, because there will be co-pays for everything.

Now let’s talk about the investment of your time.

You have to invest your time to stay stable with your bipolar disorder.

Invest time in your treatment:

Medication and therapy.

Invest time in all your appointments:

Doctor, psychiatrist, and therapist.

Invest time in yourself:

Sleep, exercise and healthy diet.

Invest time in your support system:

Your family, friends, co-workers (if you’re still working), clergy person, and whoever else makes up your support system.

Invest time in your relationship and communication with your primary supporter.

(You may also need to invest more of yourself into that one, too.)

Invest time into things that make you happy.

Invest time into things that keep you busy and productive.

Invest time into a social life.

Invest time into a family life.

Invest time into leisure and relaxation.

Invest time into ways of relaxing and keeping your stress level down.

Invest time into learning more about bipolar disorder.

In other words, you must invest time into taking care of yourself and your bipolar disorder, or you won’t be able to stay stable.

Now do you see how bipolar disorder can be like a full-time job?

Having a business means investing both money and time, and so does bipolar disorder.

You CAN be successful with your bipolar disorder, if you just invest your money and time into it.

What do you think?

Do you think this is just another way of looking at this?

Or do you disagree with me?

  1. Hello Mr Oliver,
    I have been recieving information and the newsletter from you for a few months now and am throughly impressed with EVERYTHING I read!
    This mailing about Bipolar Disorder being a full time job is SO TRUE!
    Somedays I am overwhelmed with the easiest task, especially during a depressive episode, but during a manic episode I am on top of the world and think I can accomplish anything. (which is not always the case!)
    Thank you very much for all the resources you have exposed me to. I have passed them along to my supporters so they can learn too.
    Sincerely,
    Cheryl A. Thomas

  2. Hi David,

    I do find your newsletters interesting and relatable, but for myself I have already done so much research
    and have spoken to neurologists, psychologists,psychiatrist and bipolar patients I feel as though I could instruct others in bipolar disorders.You see I live with a spouse,age 60,and a daughter,35, who both have been diagnosed as bipolar. My need is to communicate with others who are supporters of bipolar patients.

  3. Hi David, I would love to order the free bipolar support pack for 6.95 I think you said, I don’t feel comfortable putting my charge card number on the computer with all the crazy things that are happening in our world, so if there is any way that you could send it to me and i will pay when it comes, thanks so much, i will be waiting to hear from you. God bless you for all that you do.
    sincerely, Darlene

  4. eh thanks for all information you have given me, I have two people that have this bipolar one is my mother i grew up in hell with no information, I always thought it was fault why she got angry so easy thanks again

  5. I have invested FAR too much money (and continue to invest) in my antipsychotic meds. However, as long as they aid me in keeping stable and moderate my mood – it IS worth it. As far as “time” is concerned, I pretty much have all the time I need to do the things I need to STAY stable.

    I have an interesting social life, although my CLOSE frinds I can count on the fingers of one hand. But – they come through for me, and I rely on them to tell me if I’m acting the slightest bit “off.” My bf, Allan, is driving me to a dental appt on Wednesday, which is 30 miles away, because I STILL have this darn vertigo. Trying to even WALK, much less drive, is difficult when you feel like you’re heaving on a ship!!

    My therapist says I “can’t work,” so I do mystery shops. But because of the dizziness, I can’t take on ANY for right now. I do whatever easy work I can on the computer EVERY day, and don’t miss a single day.

    Yes – I guess you COULD call having bipolar a “full-timr job!”

    BIG HUGS to all bipolar survivors and those who love us. May God bless you real good. I pray for my country.

  6. Suzanne, I am not a doctor but I was having some of the same ear issues as you. Have you looked into Menieres disease? Just a thought.

  7. Being bipolar myself, I got excited when I saw the phrase “home based business”. But, being bipolar, I kept getting confused. I wasn’t sure if I was reading an article about bipolar or about a home based business.
    You’re right, having bipolar is a full time job. I haven’t had health insurance in the last two years. I purchase my own meds and I make sure that I have what I need. I’m actually taking half the dosages to make them last. If I’m having a rough day I’ll take the second half of the dosage. I started walking on Monday, after experiencing the worst episode I have had in over 5 years this past weekend. Too many stressors for too long. You become depleted; neuro-transmitters, seratonin,endorphyns. Yes, it’s a full time job. 🙂

  8. I agree bipolor is a full time job so why is it so hard to get disability for it.I was told I have adhd,odd and bipolor. I am a supporter of 3 bipolor people as well.I keep in check pretty good. The stress of dealing with 3 others that are not medicated for it is very hard for me to keep in check. Sometimes I am the one thats getting angry because the years just keep repeating themselves in the bipolor cycle when they do not help themselves with the tools I give them to keep on track.If I stay from the people that I know have the diorder but dont take meds I do not have a problem at all but it still takes alot of time to stay in check doing what is the healthy things to do to keep in check. So im inbetween a rock and a hard spot. Knowing the people really need my help I cant walk away from them but it would be a healthy choice if I did. What would you do ?
