Can You Outgrow Bipolar? Shocking Story

Hi,

How’s it going?

Boy I have a lot of things to
do today. I feel like I say
that every day 🙂

Yesterday I received a phone call
from a friend of mine. This friend’s
brother has bipolar disorder. Over
the years, he has had all kinds of problems
with not only bipolar disorder and also
addictions.

Anyway he didn’t go to a doctor
regularly and didn’t take his
medication consistently.

Unfortunately he did a ton of things
wrong which I will sum up her:

Went to multiple doctors over the years
for really no apparent reason
DO> As a result, each doctor had to start
over from scratch to learn about him. This
made treatment a nightmare.

Didn’t see any doctor regularly
DO> In addition to having a whole bunch of
doctors over a whole bunch of years, he didn’t
see the one he was suppose to regularly or
when he was suppose to and as a result side
effects from the medication where never reduced
to a minimum

-He stopped taking his medications so many
times I lost count.
DO>When you have stuff working well, or even
kind of well, I am told by experts that when
you stop it, it’s bad and it takes a lot to
get back on track. (I know this is an over
simplification but I am sure you know what
I am talking about)

-He doesn’t have a knowledgeable support
team. His family thinks the know about
bipolar but they really know little to
nothing.
DO> His family winds up agreeing with
many bad decisions he makes like: changing
doctors frequently; not taking his medication
consistently; not having a job, etc.

Last night my friend was telling
me how all his brothers problems in
life were caused by his medications for
bipolar disorder.

It’s odd how many people work. Many people
want something other than themselves to assign
blame too.

I see this all the time in business consulting
which I do. I see company owners who want
to blame bad decisions on everyone other
than themselves. They will look for anyone
anywhere to blame.

The only owners who do well are the ones
who accept blame themselves and personal
responsibility and move forward. The ones
that say, “Man, I really messed up, I take
responsibly for what I did and now we
are going to move forward. I am not going
to do that or make that mistake again. Thanks
for pointing that out to me.”

As a business consultant it’s rare that
ever happens.

It’s normally deny, deny, deny, assign
blame to someone else in the company.

When you get my courses/systems:

SUPPORTING A CHILD/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?
Visit:

HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?
Visit:
http://www.survivebipolar.net

I not only point out all the mistakes I think
I made, I accept responsibly for them.

Mistakes like:

-enabling my mom for many years costing me
all my savings

-arguing with my mom when I shouldn’t

-getting mad at my mom instead of her
bipolar disorder

etc.

I go through all of this.

Anyway, I find the same thing with
bipolar disorder. People seem to try to
look to someone or something else other
than themselves as to what caused all the
problems.

You could read a 1000 self help books
that tell you this is the wrong way to
go about things.

Anyway back to my friend, my friend agreed
with his brother that the bipolar medication
was the cause of all his problems even though
that makes no sense whatsoever.

My friend believed so strongly that
it was the medications that were the problem
not the numerous bad decisions made over
the year, that I didn’t even wind up
trying to explain how what he was saying
made absolutely positively no sense.

And then my friend said the craziest thing
to me. He said his brother stopped taking
his medication and the family saw he was better
and that he had outgrown bipolar disorder.

The family all agreed and now was supporting
his decision to not take medication any more.

I got the feeling that the brother would have
continued to take his medication if the family
would have said, “hey, you really need to
take your medication to be stable for the long
term.”

But since they didn’t, he stopped taking it.
Now it was his decision but well the family
could have probably pushed him in the right
direction.

I was totally shocked. I asked my friend
why do you think he outgrew his bipolar?

My friend said, “well because he looks
good and is doing well since he stopped
taking it.”

The crazy thing is, it’s been like 10 days.
How the heck can you measure success in
10 days?

It’s just amazing.

I listened and listened and didn’t say
much.

My head hurt so much from hearing all this
that I said, one final thing:

“When a person stops taking medication,
I have seen that they do okay for a very
limited period of time and then incrementally
get worse and worse and worse. Those around
will not notice because they adjust to
the worse behavior. Eventually that person
has a complete breakdown which can turn
into what I call is the bipolar doomsday
scenario which can absolutely destroy a family.”

I explained what the bipolar doomsday scenario
was and how it worked. My friend kind of yesed
me to death.

I went on to say, “I am not going to
preach to you because you guys are all
adults and have access to all my materials.
I don’t agree or support these decisions.”

My friend said, “okay.”

In my head I was just amazed thinking “how
in the world could people think this way?”

Then I got up this morning and remembered
that this EXACT SAME THING happened about
7 years ago and my friend’s brother went
off his medication and then was doing
okay and went into super episode and randomly
got married and then divorced. It took him
years to kind of recover.

I just don’t know what to say.

It really makes my head hurt. I realize
I can’t save every single person in the world.
I wish I could but I don’t have enough time
and money. I guess all I can do is just keep
doing what I am doing and help those that
want to be helped.

It’s a sad fact that in a few months, I’ll
probably be writing you about how my friends
brother went into a huge bipolar episode. It’s
sad but true. I have found in 100% of the cases,
this is what will happen.

Finally, I want to say the following,
NEVER EVER get off your medication unless:

-You talk to you doctor

-You are monitored closely by your doctor
without medication, reporting what’s going
on via fax, phone, email, etc.

-You have at least one supporter who has
medical releases signed so he/she can
tell a doctor and therapist how you are
doing

IMPORTANT NOTE

-If you feel like getting off your medication,
ask yourself why. Then talk to your therapist
and doctor about your feelings

-If you have side effects with your medications
and can’t stand them, talk to your doctor. He/she
can modify your medication but can’t do so
if you don’t talk to them.

-Find a good doctor you like and trust.

You know what? The older I get, the less I like
to explain to people the error of their ways.
What do I mean? Well I am a “tell it like it is
person.” That’s gotten me in a whole lot of
trouble for many years. Many people really want
to hear what they want to hear.

As a result, people get mad when they don’t
hear what they want to hear. My friend is one of
those people. He will get mad if you disagree
with him and that’s why I didn’t “get into it”
about his brother.

Someone made a comment about the fact that
I seem to be harsh with telling the story
about my mom and her bipolar disorder. That
I am hard on my brother, my dad or myself.
I am not harsh I just tell it like it happened.

I asked Pascale (who is a tell it like it is
person), what she thinks and she said, “Look,
you have over 100,000 people on your list,
someone is going to be mad at you for something
every day. Actually probably hundreds of people
at the same time. You can’t please everyone.”

I guess she is right. I will continue to
tell the real story and not sugar coat it.
It would be easy for me to do. I would simply
say, “My mom had an huge episode, we all did everything
right. Everyone was and is really supportive
and now she is doing great. She never had any
other problems after the first episode and it’s
just totally wonderful and everyone was super helpful.”

If I did that, what would you really learn? And
how would the people that everything wasn’t
wonderful think?

Hey I have to go. I will catch you tomorrow.

Your Friend,

Dave

  1. My son has convinced himself that he has outgrown bi polar. Over a year ago he almost died from a bleeding ulcer. He had to have 9 pints of blood. They had to catarize the ulcer. Since then his blood test have changed. The one doctor told him he was pre diabetic. He has went off of his medication and has been off of them for several months. But he also got involved with meth for a few months, and now is off of that. He has not had any depressions since he quit./ He said that he went back on the meds for about 3 days and he felt more depressed taking them than off of them. He does some things, that leads us to believe he needs some medication. he has not held a job in over a year. he mechanics on the side. I did not think u out grew bi polar. We are just waiting to see what happens. He is 37 years old. What can we do?
    Thanks for listening.
    Beth Cherry

  2. Wow! so true. People have no business giving someone with bipolar info to get off meds until they fully understand what this illness is. I have a friend who’s friend was a nurse with bipolar. Someone(a idiot)she worked with told her she needed to stop filling her body with these deadly pills and go on this herbal thing!!! Well she did and she was on her High mood, life was great, so she though this thing was working. Then the low hit like a bomb. She sat in her bath room stab her self in the stomach called 911 told them to please come because she is gonna shoot herself in the head and get there quickly before her children get home from school and clean up the mess. 911 knocked on the door and bang. she killed her self. All because some moron told her she did not need these meds. Please dont play doctor with someone who has bipolar, this is very dangerous. Leave it to the doctors to tell what this person needs. This is a sad thing , now two children are left with no mother and all because someone said stop taking these meds….

  3. My son just quit taking his own medication. We have seen him, so bad into depression that it was scary. We have always been here as his support system, but he gets some things in his head and u cann’t change it. So we sit here waiting to pick up the pieces. He has even done 2 years in state prison for a DUII, I have no idea how many he has had. But he has not drank in almost 2 years. So that is good .
    Thanks
    Beth

  4. My husband is bipolar,his inherited from his mother, so he has been around it all his life.

    He is badly addicted to alcohol, and sweets. Recently he had a kidney stone, which passed but left him with an infection. He had to go to the doctor,he hates doctors because he is afraid they will find out that he has bipolar. T
    hey found out he had high blood pressure, and after an ultrasound found out he had a fatty liver.

    He was put on meds for his high blood pressure. Because of his fatty liver and the meds, he was told to give up the alcohol.

    He has no insurance, because he said he would never need any, he is invincible and would never need insurance.

    I have fibro and told him the consequences of his drinking. I also told him that I COULD Not be responsible for him anymore.

    We are in our 50’s, I realize he is bipolar but at some point they have to be responsible for theirselves.

    I also told him because of his decision that should HE get hospitalized that the first things to go would be his expensive boy toys. Not my home.

    He knows he is bipolar, he has seen the consequences.He can get help if he wants it, I have been through hell and back with him.

    The stress is one of the reasons i have ended up with fibro. I cannot be responsible for him anymore.

    Sometimes i have to help, but i have always done for him, i know the signs. But i can’t take a man to the doc, i can’t force him to take his meds, i have tried.

    I think what you do for your mom is wonderful. Don’t get me wrong. But your mom has to also be responsible for herself.

    I feel you are teaching her to let you be the responsible one. What is something should happen to you??

  5. I am a forty-eight year old woman with one daughter, aged ten. I lived in the US almost my whole life but after my daugher was a couple of of years old and I was having problems I moved back to Sweden. I have gotten a lot of good care for my bipolar disorder both in the US and in Sweden. I would never ever stop my medications – even though I have been feeling back the last many months. Finally it seems now everything is under control. So if it works don’t fix it. This is a lifelong illness. I have read all the books and articles, etc. I have ammassed a huge amount of bipolar information over the years. MY youngest sister, who is also bipolar I has syptoms different from me. This disease is a chameleon – tricky, tricky, tricky.

    Anyway – my sister and I are both writers. I wish I could work for but I live in Sweden. Oh well, – anyway – thanks for your insights.

  6. I agree wholeheartedly. DO NOT STOP TAKING YOUR MEDS!! I did for about a week when all hell broke loose. I totally lost it and went “postal” on my wife and step-son. I threatened my wife with a large kitchen knife and actually hit her in the jaw with the back of my hand. I now know that had I been on the right medications and had actually been taking it, we would still be together today. Messing with bipolar and “playing doctor” is the worse thing anyone can possibly do. Please, if you are bipolar or a supoorter, listen to a QUALIFIED doctor. Just because you feel good don’t think for one second you are. This happened to me in August of 05. Afterr 6 weeks in hte hospital, another 3 weeks in jail for domestic assult and another 24 weeks in a mandatory program, I am in a great program, great doctor and great therapist. I also have a very good job that I have kept since this all happened. I wish I could have had learned all this 2 years ago.
    Bipolar CAN NOT be cured. It is a lifelong battle that requires constant monitoring and re-evaluation of treatment plans and sometimes meds.
    I pray everyday for myself and all the others out there that are suffering from and supporting a loved one with bipolar.
    Beth, if you really love your son, and I’m sure you do, get him into a good treatment facility and make sure he stays on his meds. Three days does not help. Most meds take over a month to really get into your system. Love him and support him. But sometimes Tough Love helps too.

  7. David-

    I really like what you said here:

    “IMPORTANT NOTE

    -If you feel like getting off your medication,
    ask yourself why. Then talk to your therapist
    and doctor about your feelings

    -If you have side effects with your medications
    and can’t stand them, talk to your doctor. He/she
    can modify your medication but can’t do so
    if you don’t talk to them.

    -Find a good doctor you like and trust.”

    I can relate to the wanting to believe you are NORMAL and don’t need a crutch (medication) to get along in life. I have had many bad experiences with medications for this Disorder and it is little wonder this IMPORTANT part of recovery is greatly ignored and held very controversial.

    What I do to combat this dilemma in myself is to “REMEMBER” that if I am “not” right that my doctor is available to get my medications adjusted so that I have that perfect balance.

    Thanks for the tips!

    Hope MOM is doing better. Does she like the cartoon comic MAXINE?

    MAXINE is a hoot if you want to get mom some good laughs get her MAXINE and don’t forget to give her a BIG HUG!

    3 Blonds Who Want To Be
    Detectives

    Three Blondes were all applying for the last available
    position on the Highway Patrol. The detective conducting
    the interview looked at the three of them and said, “So
    y’all want to be cops, huh?” The blondes all nodded.

    The detective got up, opened a file drawer and pulled out
    a folder. Sitting back down, he opened it and pulled out a
    picture and said, “To be a detective, you have to be able
    to detect. You must be able to notice things such as
    distinguishing features and oddities such as scars and so
    forth.”

    So saying, he stuck the photo in the face of the first
    blonde and withdrew it after about two seconds. “Now,”
    he said, “did you notice any distinguishing features about
    this man?”

    The blonde immediately said, “Yes, I did. He has only one
    eye! “The detective shook his head and said, “Of course he
    has only one eye in this picture! It’s a profile of his face!
    You’re dismissed!” The first blonde hung her head and
    walked out of the office.

    The detective then turned to the second blonde, said,
    “What about you? Notice anything unusual or outstanding
    about this man?”

    “Yes! He only has one ear!” The detective put his head in
    his hands and exclaimed, “Didn’t you hear what I just told
    the other lady? This is a profile of the man’s face! Of
    course you can only see one ear!! You’re excused too!” The
    second blonde sheepishly walked out of the office.

    The detective turned his attention to the third and last
    blonde and said, “This is probably a waste of time, but . .
    “He flashed the photo in her face for a couple of seconds
    and withdrew it, saying, “All right, did you notice
    anything distinguishing or unusual about this man?”

    The blonde said, “I sure did. This man wears contact
    lenses.” The detective frowned, took another look at the
    picture and began looking at some of the papers in the
    folder. He looked up at the blonde with a puzzled
    expression and said, “You’re absolutely right! His bio says
    he wears contacts! How in the world could you tell that
    by looking at his picture?”

    The blonde rolled her eyes and said, “Well, Helloooo!
    With only one eye and one ear, he certainly can’t wear
    glasses.”

    LOL

  9. Dave/All,

    #1.”Went to multiple doctors over the years for really no apparent reason. As a result, each doctor had to start over from scratch to learn about him. This made treatment a nightmare.” I can identify with this. To have access to a psychiatrist in the UK you have to use the National Health Service unless you are super-rich and can afford private support. Over the last few decades, mental health has been poorly resourced and funded, resulting in long waiting lists (except for emergencies) to see a doc. And you don’t get a choice – you see who you are allocated … or, more likely, who there is! In my area, they couldn’t hire a permanent psychiatrist and relied upon locums. So, every few months, I’d get a new guy! And guess what? The new guy would always change the medication or the dosage! Bu then, when I complained about this to my family doctor, he smiled cynically and said, “Psychiatry isn’t a science – it’s an art form!”

    #2. “Someone made a comment about the fact that I seem to be harsh with telling the story about my mom and her bipolar disorder. That
    I am hard on my brother, my dad or myself. I am not harsh I just tell it like it happened.”
    That’s not quite right, Dave – you tell it as YOU see it, which is not necessarily as it happened. Generally there are two sides to every story – more if other people see it! Do you remember the infamous Jamie Bulger Trial, when two 9 year old kids were accused, and convicted, of murdering a 2 year old by (Jamie)? I was a witness, but I couldn’t identify one of the boys in a line up! Other witnesses did and we all saw the same boys. So, why couldn’t I sot him in the ID parade? It’sd because we all bring to our judgements and observations personal bias – we see what we “expect” to see – this is basic “psychology of perception”. Hence, what you describe as “as it happened” is likely not as someone else (your brother or Dad?) remember the same thing “as it happened.” THIS IS NOT A CRITICISM OF YOU, DAVE. After all, we ALL do this – we usually can’t help but do it! It’s how the brain works, to automatically fill in gap so we don’t have to process all the information. Tahts why you can unrdsetnad tihs snetnece eevn tohguh all the ltetrs of ecah wrod are in the wnrog oerdr. However, you are a bright fella and I am sure you will realise others will not necessarily see the events you describe in the same way. For instance, does your Dad see the incidents you describe as his failures in the same way? You know, when two people get divorced, in most cases each party blames the other! It wasn’t me it was him. It wasn’t me it was her. They can’t be both right! But that’s how they see it. All I am suggesting is that, when you criticise your Dad, you try to balance this by saying what he thought happened. That’s fair, isn’t it? Oh, and contrary to what you or Pascal think, I am NOT mad at you. I’m not attacking you – I’m trying to be what we call in the UK a “critical friend”. “Critical friends” are the best kind of friend because they “tell it as they see it”! They t ry to tell you what they think is the truth. “Yes-wo/men” are rubbish friends and employees because they don’t tell you the truth, they tell you what they think you want to hear.
    Peace? ;o)

  10. I mainly want to comment on Dave’s statements in today’s newsletter about how he tells it like it is and how with the size of the list he has, there’s always bound to be somebody doesn’t like something he does, particularly those who think he is “harsh”.

    Dave, for the people who think you are too harsh on yourself or others, all you need to say is that if that were not so, none of these courses and your excellent newsletter would not exist. Only by being “harsh” on yourself and those around you regarding how you’ve all dealt with your mother’s bipolar disorder have you learned all that you can now offer others.

    I also don’t know if harsh is the best word, as that means harsher things to some people than it does others. You practice discernment and put energy into identifying problems and finding solutions, and you’re direct in what you say about what you’ve learned and how you learned it. In life it often means being brutally honest, especially with yourself, to learn the lesson and make the change to do things differently.

    If it wasn’t for this, in your ongoing newsletter in which you continue in this spirit of learning more and more, you continually have more to share with people. Also, if it were not for the so-called harshness, but you sugar coated everything, then you’re message would not be as powerful and you would not have subscribers who need to be and enjoy being woken up to the difficulties and intricacies of this disease.

    Too much pop/New Age psychology these days is so concerned with being nice so as to not be “negative” it ends up just being a sugar pill that flatters you’re taste buds, but does nothing else.

    I say good work and keep it up!

  11. I got started with Dave’s newsletters a couple of years back when he first started. At the time I was supporting my now ex-fiance, but have stuck with his newsletters because I have bipolar family and friends.

    When I met my ex, she was on Prozac only, but she started to have suicidal episodes, depression, and manic episodes. They started giving her more medications, treating her like a guinea pig, taking her off one thing and on to another right away. She had sample packets all over the house. There was no discipline to the medication, her behavior and energy was up and down and all over, and she ended up in the hospital with a severe suicidal episode.

    I convinced her to go off the meds and clean up because it seemed like nobody knew what the hell they were doing at the county mental health facility she was going to, with peoplewho were not qualified telling her what she should take.

    She got better for awhile, though she still had some issues but not anywhere so severe. The she got ahold of some more meds through her MD, and off she went again and ended up in the psych ward in a seriously bad state. I’m talking hallucinations, delusions, suicide, reduced motor function, memory loss, and nearly drooling.

    Of we went from the medications again, and she was “OK”, but not really functioning in life, and a year later she relapsed again, only this time not quite so bad, and I did all I could to keep her out of the hospital because I had lost any confidence that had any idea what they were doing.

    We are now apart, but still in touch, and she is seeing a therapist of some kind. She is off all meds and has held down a difficult teaching job going on two years.

    The point is, my experience is that sometimes meds make things worse when they aren’t being given the right thing and when it’s not properly monitored by professionals who know what they are doing. I tried some of the things Dave mentions to find the right professionals, and most of this was before I got his materials which go much farther than I ever did, but I was stymied in every single move I made by her, her parents, her “doctors” her friends. Unless there is wider support, being the only one searching for the truth in a sea of enablers and deniers can be an impossible position.

    Also, sometimes people DO heal (but not “outgrow”) of mental illnesses and don’t have to spend a lifetime on drugs.

  12. Dave,
    I am glad that you don’t sugar coat. I want to KNOW what kinds of things to expect and in your emails and the many posts, I can see that. Thanks so much for what you do and who you are.
    Jennifer

  13. Hi all keep up the good work dave I am married to a great man with bipolar he was diagnosed 15 years ago when he tried to commit suicide my children and myself were devastated.It has taken all these years to mend some of the hurt, my children still get confused when he has a manic episode and I feel like running for the hills!He does take his meds but sometimes he needs a mood balancer and this is when it gets tricky as he likes to pretend he has nothing wrong with him and the only person he gets really mad at is his wife of 32 years I know then I have to be strong,remember it is the bipolar that is being nasty not him to all out there who keep hanging in there Good luck and remember the good bits and the funny bits and that it is an illness they didnt ask for this condition it was thrust upon them if we dont hang in there for them who will God Bless Liz from Aussie

  14. Hi Dave/All (cute blonde joke lol)
    So here,s a question, do bi-polar people have a conscious ? You wouldn,t think so to hear my daughter(35) or my neice! They constantly emoitionally beat up those around them and never say or act sorry. Always someone elses fault. The fact my daughter abuses drugs and alcohol sometimes, makes her a difficult case.She will not listen to any one, not even her doctor, who is her pill factory! She figures she has all the answers, until the middle of the night when you get I have no friends, I can,t go on, blame, blame, ect. She still doesn,t listen, as the second you say something she doesn,t like it is click! I want to be an emoitional support to her, but tough when they figure they are in control and she is control of her destiny which I,m sure will be suicide one day! Very hard to love a bi-polar person, but you can, thank god to hear some of you guys actually have this horrible disease under control. I have to admit I don,t like my daughter a lot though, shame. I do have boundaries, or she,ll destroy me. She hates me right now, so well I wait I,ll study what Dave has, listen to you guys and look for more. My cousin is taking all I can find also. God Bless all of you Diane

  15. I have only been recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder about 3 months ago, but I have known that something has been wrong with me all my life. I came into the program of Alcoholics Anonymous in 2000 have always had been a problem drinker from the time I started at 13, also drugs are a part of my story. When I put the drink down, I had about 7 years sober with the help of AA, but I found myself working tons of hours(I am a nurse) and I now have about 100 pairs of shoes I’ll never wear and 6 closets full of clothes I’ll never wear and so on. Well, anyways, from working so much, which I had a desk job I was a charge nurse on a subacute rehab unit in a nursing facility, I injured my shoulder from all of the writing I did. I was then prescribed non narcotic pain medications, which graduated into narcotic pain medications, and to make a long story short, I lost my nursing license and my job, which took off into even more heavier opiates such as shooting up herion, something I said I would never do. My husband and family were and still are very upset, angry and worried for me. I have been to 2 inpatient rehabs as much as my insurance would allow, and all my life, I have been off and on going to drug/alchol counselors because either my parents made me go or from when I got my DWI. Never before this outpatient patient counseling has anyone ever recommended I see a Psychiatrist before, they all just told me to go to meetings and to stop using and it would get better. I am so grateful to my counselor named Tim, whom has 31 years sober from opiates and alcohol himself, for he is the one that gave me the name of my Psychiatrist whom I am now seeing and diagnosed me as bipolar. He is not only giving me meds for the bipolar, but he is giving me a medication to help with the cravings for the opiate addiction as well. I am still in the beginning stages of treatment, however, and the meds make me feel very tired and dopey, funny, comingg from a druggie and a drunk, but I have a girlfriend that is also a AA member and a severe bipolar, and she and I support each other, she told me it gets better, and to always take your meds, and that my moods will level off eventually. The medications I am taking are called Lamictaland Topamax and my doctor said it will take up to 12 weeks to feel the full effects. So I thank you for all of your articles and I am still learning about my illness, I know nothing yet it seems, but that’s ok I have to take 1 day at a time. I am currently unemployed right now, and will not be able to work as a nurse until I have a minimum of 90 days clean, which, I only have 6 days now, I had a relapse ;last tuesday. I go to 2-3 AA meeting daily and see my counselor weekly and am seeing a new doctor tommorow that my counselor recommends that is the head of a mentel health institution that deals with bipolar exclusively called MICA and I may or may not go as an inpatient 60 day or outpatient 60-90 day intensive treatment. So, we’ll see. Again thanx so much, and I hoped I spelled everything ok, I am a terrible speller, but I’m working on it (like everything else)

  16. info. I agree, sugar coating is not always helpful, but you may recall the adage which goes “a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.” There’s some truth in that, too. As some of the carers will have found out, verbally “attacking” a BP to get medication or to see a doctor only drives them in the opposite direction. And isn’t that the same with anyone? If you want to change someones mind, you don’t tell them they are a bloody fool for believing/doing such and such because they will shut there ears to anything else you say after that. You have to persuade people kindly, not batter them, as I’m sure Dave would/will confirm, this being a basic sales technique, in which he is very well skilled. (Of course, even kind persuasion may not work with a BP in full flow because they ain’t reasonable, so any kind of reasoning with them won’t work!

    I’m not sure why you are so critical of psychology. Without psychologists we’d have no therapists and without them, the treatment of BPs would be less effective overall. It therefore follows, without psychology applied in the field of mental health, more people would die because of their illness. You may not like what SOME psychologists say or think but don’t throw out the baby with the bath water.

    BPSerenity: I love that UN motto – LOL! Excellent! I just wish a few more diplomats – of their Governments – would heed the motto more often, if they would make more of an effort to understand where, and why, other people think differently. We might then have fewer wars! And if more people did the same in their own live there would be less conflict within families, between friends and neighbours, ethnic groups, colleagues, etc.. But I digress.

  17. Keep telling it like it is, David! Sugar coating the facts does no one any good and can in fact do harm. I know from personal experience what a bad idea it is to get off your medication because you feel you don’t need it anymore. I’ve done this a few times in the past because I thought I was “cured” and the end result was ugly. I was worse than I’d been before I got on the medication originally. Friends, never quit your meds without clearing it with your doctor.

  18. Diane,
    Don’t forget, “attack is the best form of defense.” BPs can (and addicts of all kind) can be very defensive for several reasons. Top of mind is when they think they are in control and they don’t like being told they are not. Second, when they are NOT in control many don’t like to be reminded they are not in control! The latter are usually people who struggle with being out of control, think it’s too had to get out of their situation or are too ashamed to admit their predicament.

    Diane, never believe a BP when they say they have it under control. It’s like saying you have a pedal bicycle under control when you have no breaks except for the soles of your shoes! The meds help rein in the BP, leading a low stress life, eating good food, taking exercise, cognitive therapy, getting sleep – all these things help keep the rein on the beast. But the bastard can, and will, still bolt from time to time whatever you may do! As David wisely advises, when it does bolt there are things you can do to help minimise the effects, one of these obviously being to get pDoc help, if only for a temporary change of medication or dosage. (This is where the “contract” between the carer and BP can come in handy, where you both agree what the carer shoild do when the BP gets out of hand.) The BP can’t be cured, it can’t be tamed; “it” can only be pacified as if blinking quietly to a wild cat, and then for only as long as “it” wants to be pacified. (When cat’s blink slowly at you or each other it’s a friendly sign, like a smile. If you do it enough times to a wild cat, you will find it often relaxes in your presence and may even “smile” back. But it’s still wild. You’ve not tamed it.) After that, the BP may fall back to sleep, to go into remission, because of, or in spite of, all the treatment and extras you do to contain it. That’s how it is. Carers need to understand this, as do those of us who are BP. We can’t change this so we have to accept it because the only ther option is … unwise! ;o)

  19. Thank you for your help. I have a 23 year old daughter who is not on medication or in therapy. I wish I had found you before I blew all my savings trying to help her. I am now sitting back and watching her float off into fantasy land over her impending move out of our home to another state. She has no money, no job, no prospects. She is moving her schooling there so she can be with her soon to be husband whom I’ve never met. I feel like I’m standing at the side of the river at flood tide. At least this time I’m not jumping into the river to save her. I’m listening and injecting reality bites as I can. I’m not arguing with her or trying to change her mind, because it would only cause her to stop talking and run off to do what she wants anyway. At least this way my name isn’t on anything and I know where she’s going and who she’ll be with. It’s the best I can do for now. It’s so hard!

  20. My husbands family is doing the same thing. he told them he was fine and was only depressed but was ok now. I told them he has bipolar. He was only recently diagnosed this past summer. They did not believe it and said they thought his medications were the reason why he was making all the terrible choices he had been making and saying the horrible things he was saying. They now say he is fine because he doesn’t look or act depressed. They support him and arr angry with me for insisting he had bipolar and needs to go nack to his doctor and go back on his meds. They telling me I am hurting the children by telling them lies about their dad and just want revenge because he left us. It is so fustrating to me that since he no longer wants me to support him he now has his parents convinced he is doing ok and I am the enemy for wanting him to be stable for our kids sake as well as for him. I guess they will just have to find out the hard way like I did. I made so MANY enabling mistakes. Had my head in the sand. I pulled it out and got tough and now he’s gone. I can’t believe how naive I was and how easy it was for him to convince me that the things he was doing was ok. Like leaving his job among other things. I am trying to keep that perspective when I want to angry with them. I WAS them only a few months ago.

  21. Thank-you Graham, For encouraging words. Tough love is hard enough to do besides knowing the right way! I like that contract idea, however I cannot seeing my daughter doing that! It is so sad watching your loved ones blow their lives away. I refuse to help my daughter finacially except a few times because of the kids, but she has gotten her dad and his wife for uncountable amounts, then called them down! I,ll keep letting you guys walk me through the do,s and don,t and pray for all of us. God Bless

  22. To Perphila- You still sound so angry. You need to pick up and move on,hopefully the worst is over. Don,t let his parents or anyone tell you were wrong. You know and now have moved on. You have your kids and yourself to love and be happy. Let the anger go and pray for him. Take care Diane

  23. I think the confusion is that there are people who have been DIAGNOSED with Bi-polar who appear to grow out of it. With BP becoming a popular label for what used to be considered adolescent mood swings, there are going to be normal teenagers who are misdiagnosed, or else medicated because it’s easier than proper therapy or living with the moods.

    As they grow up, they appear to grow out of the BP, and do well without meds because they never really needed them.

  24. angy9191. Misdiagnosis. Very good point! I was reading an article the other week written by a pDoc alleged that a lot of his colleagues diagnosed BP because doing that was an easy option. Call it BP, prescribe drugs and leave it at that for the rest of their lives .. always remembering that (very proper) piece of advice: never stop taking the meds! As you infer, that is good advice IF THE DIAGNOSIS WAS RIGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE! The writer of the article claimed that Borderline Personality Disorder was much more common than BP, and that many people diagnosed with BP are actually BPD. If true, that’s scary!
    Misdiagnosis can be very dangerous. I was originally diagnosed as having endogenous clinical depression, with BP being suspected. NO one told my family doctor that BP was suspected. So, when he changed my med from Cipramil to …. I forget what, I had a major rapid cycling episode as a response to the damned stuff. Fortunately, I remained sufficiently compus mentis (sp) to realise it was the meds that did it. That was fortunate because I assure you, the feeling was quite intolerable. I was hyper, crying, my head was buzzing, my skin felt like it was on fire, I couldn’t keep still, pacing up and down the room … The only way I got through that weekend was demanding my Mum to leave me entirely on my own (she didn’t want to because she was very worried, of course – I virtually had to throw her out) because I just couldn’t stand having anyone near me, no contact at all, and try to sleep through it until I could get to see my doc on the Monday. However, the feeling was so intolerable, it was touch and go as to whether I’d survive it or find the nearest railway line.
    By the Monday, the rapid cycling and extremes of it had stopped but I was totally wiped out, physically, mentally, emotionally … just enough energy left to weep a bit when I saw the doc. Otherwise, I could barely speak, or even be bothered to do so. That depressed! He immediately rang the emergency mental health line, and I was evaluated the same day.
    Clear as day, the meds showed a warning message – big letters. DO NOT PRESCRIBE TO PATIENTS WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER, and I now know why! Big ticket, big self congratulation: I survived it, where many others would have succumbed.

  25. BPSERENITY, Thanks for the blonde joke. I’m dark haired, but only the other day my boyfriend told me that maybe I should be blonde, as at times I do or say silly things and I’m notoriously impractical. Next time I need his help for a simple practical job I’m going to wear a blonde wig just for effect. Not long ago when he was in a minor episode he put black gel on his grey hair, which ended up all over my white sofa, as well as on his light coloured shirt. A bottle of proper hair dye would have been much more practical.

    GRAHAM, While I believe the NHS must be one of the best health services in the world, from your experiences that doesn’t seem to apply to mental health. My ex-husband was never prescribed anything (except for blood pressure and cholesterol) or referred to a psychiatrist. Our doctor agreed with me that he may have a psychological problem and did a few blood tests, which gave him no concrete answers. I know from Dave’s emails and this blog that bipolar disorder is very difficult to diagnose. My ex has a lot of the classic bipolar symptoms, but he is in total denial that there is anything wrong with him. We are still friends and in touch regularly. The last time I heard from him was over a week ago when he was very very down. I hope the only reason for not emailing is that he is cross with me advising him to go to the doctor, and he hasn’t done anything silly.

    The mental health service here in Ireland isn’t any better. However, my boyfriend has been on the right medicine for over a year and has had the same doctor and therapist since he was diagnosed with bipolar 6 years ago. His ex-girlfriend is diabetic and not taking her medicine regularly. She is showing signs of serious mental illness, possible schizophrenia, but nobody is doing anything about it, because just like my ex she is in denial. There is sadly nothing anyone can do to help people who refuse to be helped.

  26. Yes, Dave, it’s true – it’s human nature to want to hear only what you WANT to hear, and disregard any and all advice. And as far as taking blame, well, most of us bipolar survivors want to blame anything other than ourselves for going into a full-blown episode. “I’m under too much stress,” “Things are bad at work, so I’ll stay home,” “My stomach hurts, so I won’t go into work,” “My doctor doesn’t understand me,” “The medications subdue my feelings, and I want to feel good, so I won’t take them,” etc., etc. We can’t take blame for going into a full-blown episode, because it IS the illness that produces it, but we CAN do something to alleviate the stress; and we HAVE to continue to take our medications RELIGIOUSLY every day.

    Now, I’ve written on this blog that when I take an all-nighter, either to catch up on emails or be able to make an early-morning doctor’s appointment, I haven’t been taking my antipsychotic, only my Depakote. Well, wouldn’t you know it? I’m hypomanic, and, because of your email about the man who went off his meds and murdered his father – I’m back on the Zyprexa EVERY night – because that email SCARED ME TO DEATH. I’m just hoping I haven’t done irreparable damage by NOT taking the Zyprexa and I can get back on track. Even if I do need to pull an all-nighter, I will take the antipsychotic, as I DON’T want to go into a full-blown manic episode and hurt somebody OR myself. Apart from that, I CAN’T be hospitalized again; it would cost me too much (not monetarily), as my last hospitalization was 31 years ago, and I’ve been stable for that long (with intermittant mini-episodes, controlled with support from the local Community Mental Health system); being a landlord for 30 years; owning my own condo; having a wonderful boyfriend; being a respected member of the community. There are soooo many reasons to remain highly functional, I can’t begin to tell you all of them. And – who do I blame? MYSELF of course. It was a CONSCIOUS decision I made NOT to take my meds at night, and now I’m paying for it. My panic attacks have returned, though not as bad as they could be. But, I am trying to be proactive in taking my meds and getting back on track, hoping to avoid a major nervous breakdown.

    I consider today’s email from you to be a real “wake-up call,” Dave, and I thank you soooo much for your wisdom in sharing your thoughts for us. Yes, with 100,000readers of your emails, you’re bound NOT to please ALL of us. And, yes, you can’t save all the world, but you can help save your little corner of it, one person at a time. When I was delusional, I thought everything I said and did WOULD save the world; however, I could only “preach” to my own circle of influence, and that was IT.

    You are performing a WONDERFUL “community service,” Dave, and I know those of us who “get it” will continue to appreciate your hard work and input. Thank you so much 😉

    BIG HUGS to all bipolar survivors and those who love them. I pray for you often, and hope your day is peaceful.

  27. Graham,

    Maybe if we put happy pills in the drinking water the world would be a more tolerant place. I don’t know? Just a thought and wishful thinking!

    I found this joke last Sunday:

    Sunday Humor:

    GOD CREATED CHILDREN (AND IN THE PROCESS GRANDCHILDREN)

    To those of us who have children in our lives, whether they are our own, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or students…here is something to make you chuckle.

    Whenever your children are out of control, you can take comfort
    from the thought that even God’s omnipotence did not extend to His own children.

    After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve. And the first thing he said was “DON’T!”

    “Don’t what?” Adam replied.

    “Don’t eat the forbidden fruit.” God said.

    “Forbidden fruit? We have forbidden fruit? Hey Eve … we have forbidden fruit!!!!!”

    “No Way!”

    “Yes, way!”

    “Do NOT eat the fruit!” said God.

    “Why”

    “Because I am your Father and I said so!” God replied, wondering why He hadn’t stopped creation after making the elephants.

    A few minutes later,
    God saw His children having an apple break and He was angry! ;

    “Didn’t I tell you not to eat the fruit?” God asked.

    “Uh huh,” Adam replied.

    “Then why did you?” said the Father.

    “I don’t know,” said Eve.

    “She started it!” Adam said

    “Did not!”

    “Did too!”

    “DID NOT!”

    Having had it with the two of them, God’s punishment was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own. Thus the pattern was set and it has never changed.

    BUT THERE IS REASSURANCE IN THE STORY! If you have persistently and
    lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they haven’t taken it, don’t be hard on yourself. If God had trouble raising children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake for you?

  28. Kelly,

    I just told Renate where to find this information at Bipolar Central from David. At the top light blue box click on “About Bipolar”

    I copied this much from his site:

    Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder

    There are two types of Bipolar Disorder.

    Bipolar I is characterized by severe, debilitating symptoms, with extreme episodes, including some or all of the following:

    Manic Symptoms

    Agitation, nervousness, irritability, feeling edgy, short-tempered,
    Feeling you can ‘do no wrong’, inflated sense of self, grandiose feelings, inappropriate or poor judgment
    Increased sex drive or desire, loss of inhibition
    Dressing or speaking in an extreme, or unusual manner
    Inability to focus
    Delusions, hallucinations
    Euphoria, or feeling ‘high’
    Heavy use of drugs or alcohol
    Boundless energy, sleeplessness, insomnia
    Rage, aggression or combative behavior
    Racing or disassociated thoughts, extreme talkativeness, rapid speech
    Reckless spending, high speed driving, high risk activities, decisions made without considering consequences

    Depressive Symptoms

    Abnormally low, listless mood and energy
    Constant fatigue, increase/decrease in sleep, insomnia, excess sleep
    Feelings of guilt, worthlessness and unworthiness
    Inability to concentrate or focus, or to make everyday decisions
    Excessive drug or alcohol use
    Absence of self-esteem or confidence
    Extreme increase or decrease in appetite or weight
    Sadness, hopelessness, an attitude of ‘what’s the use?’
    Withdrawal from family, friends, co-workers
    No interest in activities, even normally exciting or interesting tasks
    Self abuse or injury, thoughts, talk, plans or attempts of suicide

    Bipolar II is also called Hypomania. Bipolar II or Hypomanic episodes, and symptoms, are significantly less extreme than Bipolar I behaviors.

    Diagnosing Bipolar Disorder

    Bipolar Disorder should be diagnosed by a psychiatrist, a specialist, equipped to recognize the symptoms. Accurate diagnosis is crucial, because treatment usually includes medication. If the wrong medication is prescribed, symptoms may worsen, or side effects may occur. To diagnose Bipolar Disorder, doctors look for at least two years of numerous periods of hypomanic and depressive symptoms. In children, the duration of symptoms must be at least one year. Symptoms must cause significant impairment in social, work or school or other functional areas

    Best wishes 😎

  29. Hi Dave,
    Thanks for taking all the time that you do to help us learn and understand our bipolar person(s).
    Reading about your friend’s brother’s saga, I wondered if his doctor hopping may have resulted in an incorrect diagnosis? If, in fact, he has another form of mental or emotional illness, the bipolar meds may have been all wrong for him. Now that he is off them, it may seem that he is much better (for now). Sticking with the same (competent) doctor becomes even more important, IF a wrong diagnosis/treatment occurs.
    Just a thought.
    Thanks again.
    Pat

  30. BPSerenity. LOL! But I thought we BPs ARE taking the happy pills?! (I wish!!! ;o) )

    Actually, I reckon the clue to World peace – in fact, PEACE WITHIN OURSELVES – is within the Adam & Eve story … If they’d not sought “knowledge” and then conceived opinions then, they’d have remained at peace with themselves and their Maker. In other words, if we didn’t ALL have opinions about anything and everything, there’d be nothing to argue or fight about, would there! There’d be none of that “you’re wrong and I am right” stuff, none of that “God is on my side, not yours” rubbish. There’d be no disagreements at all because no one would have any opinions they could disagree over! They’d just “be”, content in their Garden of Eden …

    Of course, there ARE such people who live that way, who live it in the Eden of sublime peace. They don’t advertise this because they believe something like, “He who knows does not speak, while he who speaks does not know.” That means their knowledge is only imparted to those who ask for it, who genuinely want it. They don’t waste their breath nor the smallest drop of spittle, trying to teach someone who doesn’t want to learn, who is closed to ideas except their own dogma. They teach without expecting anything in return because they feel that what they teach already belongs to their pupils, belongs to anyone and everyone. They thin to do otherwise would be like “selling water by a river…” And you know what the first bottled water
    was called? Evian. Now, write Evian backwards and see what word you get … it just about sums up the poor saps who have been persuaded to buy bottled water by a river flowing from our taps!

    What’s this got to do with BP? Quite a lot, actually.

  31. I never state things in absolutes. One exception makes you untruthful.
    Mr. Oliver states: “100% percent of the time people go off medications they fail…” or something to that effect. The point being here is if there is one person who has successfully transitioned off medications for bipolar…then they have made Mr. Oliver a liar.

  32. All I can say right now is: Omagod!! This denial, denial, denial is what my 38 yr. old daughter is doing and has been doing her whole life. Sad thing is her idiot therapist has fallen for her lies even though he knows she is borderline. She lives in another state and has lost her friends and now her 16 year old daughter due to her drug use and denial. She still denies what she has done and denies that she has lost her daughter because of it and continually blames her problems on everybody else and everything else. It has nearly destroyed me. I don’t know who she is anymore.

  33. harryf200$18Guy/VN:KIA-DAD. I’ll take issue with David IF I think he’s wrong but what you said is plainly unfair!

    I’m certain David is easily big enough to defend himself – you don’t get to running several businesses and employing people by being soft skinned – but I am jumping in to defend him anyway, because what you have said is grossly unfair, as it is rude!

    If “there is one person who has successfully transitioned off medications for bipolar…” at the VERY MOST that would make him mistaken, not a liar! But IMHO, it would be much more likely the person was a) going into remisson, or b) was misdiagnosed as BP in the first place. This does NOT make David a liar.

    You must surely now see what you have said is unfair and it would be only polite if you apologised.

  34. No, I will not apoligize. Mr. Oliver is not a Doctor. Yet, he knowingly makes a blanket statement that essentially claims no one can manage their bipolar without medication.
    His web-sites have tremendous influence. Perhaps, way out-of-balance with his actual, professional training. So, yes, he is a liar for making the statement there is a 100& failure rate for those who go off bipolar medications.
    The word mistaken for a false statement he knowingly made to a community that looks to him for answers is far too soft a treatment.
    Maybe he thinks he can “dupe” his audience because he, in fact, may view us as “less” than him because we have a disorder that, in my case, I inherited.

  35. My daughter has ben diagnosed with bipolar and when she was first out of the hospital and after weeks of horrible dreams, waking us at night saying she wanted to kill herself and that the tv and computer was talking to her we decided right then and there to take her off her meds. We did some checking on what she was on and these were the worst of the side effects. Our daughter missed her first semester of her junior year of college because of her breakdown in Aug. She is 21 and we knew that it was a terrible thing to do, taking her off the meds but no one would listen to us. No doctor or therapist. She actually did fine, was able to hold a job during her break from college but now she is seeing a doctor that she likes and is on meds. They seem to be working but only time will tell. I’m also happy to announce that she is back in college (one week today)and so far our phone conversations have been really good.

    In no way am I saying to go off meds, or quit meds………we took the gamble and one this time. We also know that this is a life long journey for our family but we are close and strong and will always be there for her.
