Bipolar? You Can Start Your Day Over Anytime

Hi,

How’s it going today?

I was having a bad day the other day, (I’m sure you can relate, right).

The kind of day where nothing seems to go right?

And I have to admit, I was getting more frustrated and irritated as the day went on.

Well, I went to the store, and at the check-out, the clerk seemed to be as frustrated as me, and that didn’t make things any better. Even my order didn’t go right.

I just gave this long, sort of loud, big sigh. And then I heard this little old lady’s voice behind me in the check-out line say:

“You know, you don’t have to be that way. You can start your day over any time you want to.”

Well, that sure got MY curiosity up!

What could she have been talking about?

I was sure I didn’t know this woman, had never seen her before in my life! So she couldn’t know me, or what was going on in my life, or even why I was so frustrated!

So, of course, HER order went just fine, and she was out of the store quickly, and we kind of caught up in the parking lot, and I asked her what she meant by how I could start my day over any time I wanted to.

She told me that she used to get irritated and frustrated pretty easily.

“In fact,” she said, “I was so full of stress in a line one day, just like you were today, and someone told me those very same words!”

I didn’t want to be rude to her, and at first I really didn’t get what she was saying, but then I thought about it.

The concept is really simple.

Instead of waiting until you’re at your boiling point, after hours of frustration and irritation (and needless stress)…

At the beginning, when you FIRST start to feel that way, you stop yourself, and you simply… right then and there… “start your day over again.”

In other words, you let go of the stress, and all the other negative emotions you’re feeling.

In my courses/systems, I talk about how stress- reduction techniques can be part of a successful treatment program in managing bipolar disorder:

You can do this as often as you need to.

Whether it’s morning or evening.

Whether it’s twice a day or 10 times a day.

Whether you’re by yourself or in a crowd.

Whether you have bipolar disorder or you’re a supporter to a loved one with the disorder.

We live in a world full of stress.

Any stress reduction technique that will help us manage that stress can only help us.

So the next time you feel irritable, impatient, frustrated, stressed, or any other negative emotion, remember:

  1. Hi David,

    thanks for all the information you are sending me, it does help me a great deal. God Bless and cointinue what you’ve been doing.

  2. Dear David I agree and disagree. Yes you can change how you think to a point, positive thinking and all that. But theres a very thin line between that and bottling things up. if you bottle things it has to come out some way some day. Yeesterday in the midlle of a row with my daughter( me at fault coz it was me that was stressed) I was cooking the dinner and everything going wrong i wasnt in the humour of listening to anything else. And of course me been in a rage, the draw with the forks and spoons etc ,when i opened ( not relising how hard i opened it ) Yes landed on the floor that was the final straw, i had to give it a kick. It made me feel better. But getting back to the point its a question I have asked theperist and doctors alike. HOW DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE LETTING SOMETHING GO THINKING YOU’VE DEALT WITH IT(Only to come back at you weeks months or even years later to haunt you) OR KEEPING THINGS TO YOURSELF THINKING IT’LL GO AWAY. aRE WE NOT FOOLING OURSELVES.

    I DONT KNO IF THIS EMAIL MAKES SENSE TO ANYONE ELSE IIT DOES TO ME if it doesnt just ignore it. I’m blahing.

    God Bless Amanda

  3. Hi Dave,

    Yup, we can start it over at any point and just hit the reset button when we blow our circuit. We have every possible convenience in this society so much so that we get spoiled. When something doesn’t go as planned we get frustrated. The trick is not to plan for things to go smoothly. Expect things to go wrong sometimes and you won’t be disappointed! I never plan the best to happen every time I plan or try to do things. I have learned to expect frustrations that way I am not disappointed when things don’t go the way I want them to, I am happy when they do, and if things turn out poorly I am prepared mentally for the frustration.

    : )
    Have a good day!

  4. Yup, I’ve had THOSE kinds of days a LOT lately. The idea that you can “start your day ANY time,” appeals to me. I had never heard it put that way before, but, heck, why not give it a try? That way, I’m not hurting anyone else with my “mood,” nor am I hurting myself with the stress level that brought out the “bad karma.”

    Again, you’ve given us another way of stress reduction; something both bipolar survivors AND supporters NEED every day to deal with this horrible illness.

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

  5. Hi David,
    I wish I would have heard that before I hit my son over the head with that pan!!!!!
    Thanks,
    Karen

  6. Hi there David
    Thank you for the information that you have sent to me….I am understanding more about the condition now. It helps me understand why my friend goes off on one so-to-speak, and prefers to be alone for a few weeks at a time.

    regards, Louise.

  7. Dave, I can see how that can happen. I wish I had the strength to do it though. When I get that bad, it would be hard for me to just try to let go of everything bugging me and start over. I will give it a shot though, and I am also going to talk to my son about it. He is the bipolar. He has a lot of days that he is just so frustrated and upset, I hope this works for him, and myself for that matter. Thanks Dave

  8. Boy, I needed to reset my day today and lately. I’ve learned, the less you expect the less you are disappointed. Aim high but not so high that failure would make me one crazy lady!

  9. Hi David,

    It’s been quite some time since I’ve been on this blog because I’ve been ill. Ironically, the seven stone gained over the past three years through the pills to treat my Bi-polar have caused me to have too much oestrogen in my body, which has caused my fibroids to grow large, painful and troublesome, bleeding virtually constantly every single day. This hasn’t helped my mood because it’s so draining, but I’m hoping that an operation soon will help solve the problem and then I can tackle losing weight.

    I’ve continued taking part in British research studies to try to help the doctors get a better understanding of the condition and over the past fortnight, an HORIZON TV Documentary was broadcast throughout the UK in two one-hour parts entitled, “How Mad Are You?”, whereupon one of my doctors and two other top psychologists had to guess out of ten people over five days, who had the mental illnesses and who were “normal”. They only guessed two correctly, completely missing the Bi-polar individual and one of the “normal” people was quite offended afterwards for being asked if she had a mental condition! (Snigger!)

    Although I’ve been forced to rest a lot, I’ve still been reading the daily e-mails and I’ll try to get back into the habit of writing to you like I used to do.

    Take care,

    Sue and all the animals. x

  10. Great email today, David, the only problem is that you have to practice “starting your day over again” in order to be successful. But all the good things in life require practice and perseverance!

  11. I not only want to start my day over again, but also the last 6 and a three fours years. I want to go back BEFORE I found my dad, laying completely paralyzed from the neck down in his driveway. I want to go back to when I was happy and productive. I want to go back to when I was working in my job of 20 years. I want to go back to when my credit was good and I did not have to file bankruptcy. I want to go back to the day when I looked forward to getting out of bed.

  12. I’m trying VERY hard right now to start this day over. I may have completely lost a good friend and supporter BECAUSE of my bipolar. She was talking about studying “The Lord’s Prayer” EVERY night, to get more and more out of it. I said – without thinking – that maybe she should just do it twice or three times a week, and not get “stuck” on it. This was the absolute WRONG thing to say to her.

    She took it personally – as if I were questioning her SANITY!! It seems the things my therapists were always telling me – “Don’t become obsessed with anything religious,” didn’t play well with her. She acted as it she’d been “stung,” and said, “Well, I just won’t discuss religion OR my book with you anymore.”

    Our very FRIENDSHIP started on how close we were spiritually, and I’d HATE to stop “talking religion” with her. She’s written a book that is being turned into a musical – and NOW she won’t talk about it with me?? I feel like a lost child…

    Within in the space of a few seconds, a wonderful relationship might very well be over. If I could take back what I said, I would in a heartbeat. I don’t know WHY I said what I did; I don’t even know HOW to apologize…

    Since that incident, I’ve called my Mom, done the mail, went shopping, and went on the Internet; nothing can bring back what I said to my FRIEND…

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

  13. Your thing, trying to sell that Womans Book on Spirituality? Is that for Sale?
    All you are here for is to sell to us! As you believe we are a soft touch. After reading your “Newsletter” a short time, I want none of your Books/Course. You Ruined the Bi-Polar Sale. You could not sell Cold Beer in Australia.

    Anyhow, there is only ONE Religion for our Benifit & protection, that is SCIENTOLOGY. They are WELL equipt to deal with these “problems” Whithout Drugs, so their is no Ruination of the Mind, Body or Soul. The Family unit also stays intact.

    SCIENTOLOGY, THE WAT TO GO. THEY CLOSE INSTITUTIONS, REMOVE PSYCHS. THEIR GREAT FOR THE MENTAL HEALTH OF ALL.

  14. I think I have had enough of ‘conventional medicine’ and psychiatry. How do I join Scientology? It can’t be any worse that what I have now.

  15. I NEED to go back to before the Year 2000. As that is when I met my 1st psychiatrist. She had me injected with many Vile Drugs, I still have NO Brainfunction. NOT 1/2 it was before meeting IT! Over 8 Years now without a Brain, it is a life worse than Death! I feel worse on the “medication.” WHY? Why does it do the opp of what they tell you?

    What did this unmentionable Creature do to me in the 20 Hrs a Day I was Comatose? I woke in the wrong Room, it told me that was another Guy, she is Criminaly insane. Proffessors of Psych. told me Criminal acts have been performed on me. I camplained she tried to lock me up???

    After Rape, they remove your Memory, If you have one with some form of Shock Therapy. I have studied these organasms for over 8 Years. (Note spelling, The- Rapist)?

    I was scared see, as yes MANY wanted to KILL me SLOWLY. They had told my Dad, so HOW “Delusional?” psych. are ALL Delusional, & Inept, though that does NOT affect their Pay, or opinion of themselves, so they do not CARE!

    IT would NOT believe the truth, told me “Nobody wants to Kill you.” The people following me constantly, for over 1 Month, catching wrong Trains, and Busses when I did, changing back when I did, was: “A co-incidence.”

    You see Little Dave, as their is NO money in a well mind, by Ruining me & my Family with Drugs, she has easily made another House. She told me to use Opiates for Headache, good thing I do not get Headaches. Did have an illegal Lumbar Puncture though.

    This trade is FRAUD! That was the peadifiles Name, Not Freaud. They still study that worthless scum. Shows they still know NOTHING!

    Suzanne, this Religous thing, Catholic for eg, it is not for BP. Chastity is BAD. Sex is great for ALL aspects of Life, and NEEDED by all. Even Quadraplegics have the desire. I have seen elderly senile folk in Nursing homes “going to town.” It is a part of the “Primary Directive.” The rest of the P.D is Ugly.

    Denile is not a River, but a Terrible state. For further BP help check out Scientology.

    I have read much of psych. SCUM molesting their VICTUMS, rendering them unconscious, to a state where it is Necrofillier. If they Rape their “Patient” whilst the Girl, Woman, or Boy is conscious, aparently they use some form of shock therapy to “wipe the memory.” ACCORDING TO CORT REPORTS. CCHR.

    If they get caught, they claim this is therapy. No they do not call it RAPE. Worse still if you can think of worse, these “consumers” are the Victums of Peadifelia, Rape all those things the SCUM OF THE EARTH IS NOW DOING.

    ONE STATED THEIR WAS “NOTHING WRONG” HE WAS MEARLY A “POOR PEADIFILE.”

    ANOTHER STATED PEADIFILIER WAS BENIFICIAL, TO ALL. NOT ALL CLAIMED IT TO BE THERAPY, ONE OR TWO SAID IT WAS “TRUE LOVE, WHICH SHOULD NOT BE DENIED.”

    THEY ALL NEED REMOVAL, ANT INDEFINATE TREATMENT. ON TOP OF OTHER DETREMENTAL THINGS A HUGE PERCENTAGE ARE PEADIFILES, AND SEXUAL PREDATORS. PROVEN IN COURTS OF LAW. THOUGH THEY DON’T GET PUNISHED AS THE PEADIFILE IS A PROTECTED SUB SPECIES.

  16. Hi Everyone,
    Why is it we strive to be stable with the med path that shuts our brains down. The meds block all not just the crazy stuff, and have terrible side effects. I love myself it is just the bipo me who likes to ruin my life over and over. I am a mess David. Hope my book gets here soon.
    Karen
