Hi,

If you have been following my story and emails over the
last week. You know my mom went into another episode
and we caught it. She was doing really bad. Then we
used a technique to get her to the doctor. It was
really easy actually. BUT before we were able to
a number of bad things were done.

I am currently figuring out what went wrong
and have discovered some shocking reasons why
she went into this episode. I will be revealing
them next week. It’s taking me a while to write it up
for you.

BUT in the meantime, I wanted to tell you this.
One thing that happen is my mom stopped seeing
the great therapist I found for her and started
seeing a new guy who is a TOTAL disaster.

He is a joke. He actually shouldn’t be allowed
to practice. You might think this is harsh but he
has done a ton of bad things.

Anyway, she needs a new therapist. I am going to
use my old doctor/therapist finding system
which is in all my main courses:

BEFORE I told my dad this, he said to me,
well I wonder where we can find a therapist.
He said, maybe we can look in the phone
book.

I WAS SHOCKED. I was like HELLO,
the phone book? If you know my courses
I go through why the phone book doesn’t
work for finding doctors/therapist generally.
Neither does the internet.

Actually I had a lady the other day call me,
she got my course and was using the f.ree
consultation for non medical and non legal
questions. She said that she tried everything to find
a good therapist.

Her definition of EVERYTHING was looking on the
internet. I asked her why she didn’t use my
super easy system. She said, “I forgot.”

Here’s the deal. A therapist is super important.
You can’t mess around and hope for a good one.
You need to be proactive and take it DEADLY
serious.

Use my system, OR make your own. But do something
that is going to work for you.

Shame on my dad for not even remembering or reading
my stuff that he has for f.ree. He did say to me,
he has done stuff wrong for so many years, it’s hard
for him to break old ways of thinking.

Hey I have to run. See you tomorrow.

Your Friend,

Hi,

First, sorry I didn’t write yesterday. I had so much
going on, I just didn’t have the time. I hope you
got the message from Jen letting you know what is
going on with me.

If you are new to this list, there will be a link
below to get caught up on everything. In the meantime,
please bare with me.

I have been telling you how my mom went into a
major something again. I say something because
I didn’t know what it was until yesterday.

According to her doctor, she went into another
episode again. Okay, she is doing okay now, but
there is so much for you to learn that I am
going to try to get to you as fast as possible.

Let me reexplain some things now. Okay, as you
know, around in 2004, my mom started going into
a MAJOR episode.

This story is documented in my courses/systems
here:

SUPPORTING AN ADULT
Visit:
http://www.bipolarsupporter.com/report11

SUPPORTING A CHILD/TEEN
Visit:
http://www.bipolarparenting.com

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

Okay, so after my mom was stable, she was doing
great. Meaning, she has almost paid off her $30,000
of d.ebt, has a job, has friends, is going to the
doctor when she is suppose to, taking her medication,
following the same system for those with bipolar disorder
here: http://www.survivebipolar.net

So, everything is TOTALLY FINE. Okay, just get that point.
TOTALLY FINE. So, just think now in your head, my mom
is doing great and then….

SOMETHING BAD HAPPEN

I noticed my mom didn’t look the same, act the same
and in 7 days my mom went from the above description
of DOING GREAT, TOTALLY FINE, not being able to
work, add, subtract, screaming, yelling, foaming
at the mouth, attacking people, telling dozens if
not 100 CONVINCING lies to anyone that would listen,
looking almost like a homeless person (DEAD SERIOUS)
ALL WHILE TAKING HER MEDICATION.

I REPEAT, she WAS taking her medication–FOR SURE!

You might be thinking, “Dave, how the heck does
this happen.” Okay, I am not going to get into that
today because, quite frankly, I am still investigating
that myself. I am pretty sure that I know. I am
going to detail this.

But for now, I want you to get some key points.

1. If a person has bipolar disorder and is stable
he/she can unfortunately become unstable very quickly.

2. Supporters have to step in and take MASSIVE and
IMMEDIATE action to turn things around.

Let me tell you, over 7 days, I lost EVERY SINGLE
battle against my mom’s bipolar disorder. If you do
like I teach in my supporter course, you separate the
person from the illness. Once you do that, you can
be at war with bipolar disorder NOT the person.

So to me, I am in a long war against bipolar disorder.
In that war, there are battles. Let me tell you,
I lost all the battles in 7 days.

The bipolar disorder steam rolled right over my
dad. He called in reinforcements (me), and I
was defeated for 7 straight days. My dad was shocked.
He was worried. He told me yesterday he didn’t
know what to do because normally I figure out what
to do and he never saw me not know what to do.

BUT, I didn’t give up. I didn’t go in the corner
and start crying. I didn’t find some person
to blame and get all mad like some people do on
my newsletter list.

What did I do? I took my material, went to the library.
I read through it again. I also, and you are going to
think I am totally crazy, read a book on Cold War
strategy.

I then outlined a total counter attack against my
mom’s bipolar disorder using ALL techniques and strategies
that I knew. All the stuff in my material I have.

After I did this, I won the battle for the day. The
first major battle for me was getting around
the doctor and therapist telling me they couldn’t
talk to me about my mom’s condition.

You might be thinking, “Dave, what the heck, you
preach to us to make sure the releases are signed
so doctors and therapists can speak to supporters.”

YOU ARE TOTALLY RIGHT. I do preach that. BUT, my mom
UNDID the releases. Meaning she changed them in a way
that made it almost impossible for the doctors or
therapists to know what was truly going on.

I countered with the techniques I teach in the report
“How to get around the dreaded Hippa law.” My strategy
worked and I was able to communicate with the doctor
and therapist.

Yesterday my mom went to the doctor, her medication was
changed and within a very short period of times, she
start becoming stable again. I don’t know about this
morning. But I will go over and see how she is doing.

If you are reading this and find yourself losing battle
after battle day after day, there is hope. It wasn’t
looking good for me and I turned things around. You can
too. Just hang in there.

GOOD THINGS
First there are several good things that happen. First
I proved that my system does work. Secondly, my dad
realizes the importance of having a clue and knowing
what to do. For the first time ever he actually read
some of my material and was “surprised” that it had
stuff in it that “made sense” to do.

Secondly, my system for protecting money worked 100%.
My mom tried to spend money but the system prevented it.
That makes me really, really, really happy because
I am tired of losing money from bipolar disorder. So
my mom and dad’s finances were protected in this most
recent episode.

BAD THINGS

-Some how this happened even though my mom was taking
her medication. I will be figuring out why over the
coming days.

-My mom undid some things that I put in place to
help and protect her.

-My mom did a ton of damage to the last remaining
family members, her friends and my dad. Her sister
is really mad at her. My mom told her sister a
huge lie and now she is really mad. Like not going
to talk to her again kind of mad. Right now my
brother doesn’t talk to my mom anymore. It’s been
more than a year. Several of her friends are really
mad.

The only thing we can do is learn, create new systems
and try to prevent this again.

HERE’S WHAT I AM GOING TO BE DOING

I am going to be detailing what happen, how I think it
happened (I will never know for 100%), and how
to prevent it in the future. Right now, I can tell
you vigilance is the key. You have to be vigilant
even if your loved one is totally stable.

If you have bipolar disorder and you think this isn’t
fair or really stinks that you could go into an episode
even when you are doing everything right, the counter
to this is to have a good support circle. If my mom
didn’t have one, she really could have lost it all.
BUT she didn’t.

THE HUGE TOLL ON ME

This has taken a huge toll on me. I lost 11 pounds.
I have gotten very little sleep. It’s been super
stressful. I have forgotten several important
business meetings and this will wind up costing
me a whole lot of money unless I can convince
the people to give me another chance.

Oh well, there will be other business meetings.

FINAL THOUGHTS
I must say this, I think that the greatest difficult
with bipolar disorder is preventing the next episode
after the last big episode. I am going to be coming
out with lots to say about this really soon.

Information is the key to success with this
disorder. Without it, you will most likely fail. Whether
you have bipolar disorder or you are a supporter. This
is the brutal truth.

One last thing. People notice that I have typos and
stuff in my material. I am a math person not a English
person. BUT, the interesting thing is this. In the
midst of my mom screaming, yelling threatening,
she too my manual on schizophrenia I have been working
on for a year, and edited the entire thing and made
some suggestions. Strange, huh?

The one thing about my mom is this. She can edit
even if she is in the worst episodes. She can’t add
or subtract but she can edit. Michele Soloway (a
writer of mine) can do this as well.

So for all of you out there who think maybe I have
bipolar disorder because I have typos in my emails,
you need to reread the signs and symptoms of bipolar.
There isn’t wone that talks about grammar and typos
:).

Post Easter Important Bipolar Message

Hi,

I should have sent this note before Easter but I forgot.
With all holidays, you want to make sure you know how
to find the doctor or therapist if there is an emergency.

Even though I teach this in all my courses, this slipped
by me yesterday. We couldn’t get a hold of any of my
mom’s medical people and we needed to.

Now if you find yourself in this situation, you can always
take a loved one to the hospital or call 911 in the
US. I am not sure if other countries have 911 which
is a help system one can call on the telephone
that will send an ambulance.

I also wanted to address something else I keep getting
from people. People are asking, how I lost more
than $242,000 from my mom’s bipolar disorder. It’s a
long story and it’s included in all three versions
of my courses.

I am not trying to get you to buy
my courses, rather it’s not something that I can
explain in one or two lines.

I go over everything from a to z in more than 30 pages
in my course and a 60 minute audio presentation.

When it comes to m.oney and bipolar disorder, there’s
alot people need to know.

Now many people are also asking me if my main courses
talk about how to g.et o.ut of d.ebt. There answer
is this. I have a VERY short report on how to
g.et o/ut of d.ebt in all my many courses.

BUT, if you are in serious d.ebt, you should look
at my other material that covers this and this only.

You can read about it at:

http://www.bipolarcentral.com/debtletter

I must say, if you have been following my story with my mom’s most
recent mini episode, you’ll know that it’s been very stressful.

I was thinking yesterday on Easter how important money is
to bipolar disorder. Yesterday, I had to get ahold of
my attorney on a Sunday and on Easter. I am not even
sure what that’s going to cost me.

Over the next week, I am going to have to pay to meet with
my mom’s old therapist, new therapist, and current
doctor. This all is going to cost me m.oney. I am not
complaining only trying to urge you that you really have
to understand this is an expensive illness.

This is why I constantly harp on people should be looking
for ways to i.ncrease their income. Whether that be
at their job or in some kind of b.usiness at home.

People think I am out of my mind when say these things. When
people don’t get it, I think the people who don’t are
either lying and don’t really support someone with bipolar
disorder OR they are totally clueless.

If you are supporting someone for more than 6 months, I
would imagine that you completely understand how important
money is to the illness.

The strange thing is, even when you get the best doctors,
therapists, and medications, that cost the most, this still
is not the total solution.

Over the next few days, I will explain what I am talking about
as it relates to my mom’s current illness.

Well I have to get ready to do a whole lot of things and that’s
why I am sending this out so early in the morning.

I will let you know what happens with my mom’s doctor and
therapist tomorrow hopefully.

One last thing, I know some of you have had trouble with
my f.ree podcasts. I think it’s because they are too long.
I have to start making them shorter I believe. Sorry.

Hey I just got a call from my mom’s doctor finally 30 seconds ago
as I was going to send this email. I have been trying to get
her ALL weekend. She is going to “help my mom ASAP.” Which
is exactly what I was looking for.

I used a technique yesterday to ensure my mom would get to
the front of the line so to speak to get maximum help. I am
glad it worked.

I will write you more tomorrow.

Dave

Hi,

First Happy Easter if you celebrate that.

I have to make this quick today. I have a ton of things
to do. I am working on 11 projects at the same time (
one of them is a new editing business I am starting,
just kidding :)).

NOTE: If you ever see me start a business that is
about editing, you should have me sent to the doctor
for evaluation LOL.

Okay, seriously, before I get started, how do I work
on 11 projects. It’s called organization in case
you wanted to know. I know people will write and
ask how can I do it? Am I bipolar? No. Am I manic? No.
So on and so forth. I try to cut the questions
off before they come in to cut down on the up to
980 emails I now get a day.

Anyway, the other day I started telling you how there
is a big problem going on with my mom and bipolar
disorder. Over the
last couple of days, through tremendous hard work
on my part and seriously following my own system
at:

http://www.bipolarsupporter.com/report11 I was
able to SOMEWHAT, but not totally, reverse a disaster
that was heading our way.

I have to finish up next week. Monday is D-day for me.
What’s D-day?

D-Day is a term often used in military language to denote
the day on which a combat attack or military operation is
to be started and commence.

With Bipolar Disorder, there are many D-days so I use the term
to designate the day upon which some significant event will occur
related to my mom’s bipolar disorder. On Monday I will be
dealing with all the doctors and therapists getting a resolution
to this current situation.

What’s going on with my mom? Well if you have been following
along, my mom is going through another kind of mini episode
which could turn into a big episode. I am 99% sure it
won’t because I caught it. BUT, she wasn’t the cause.

The reason is really disturbing and VERY complicated.
I told my dad and aunt and they were like “huh?”

I explained again. BOTH of them are really mad at
my mom because they blame her for the most recent
episode (which I really wouldn’t call it that maybe
new kind of episode). After a careful investigation
by me, I have concluded it is not her fault. Over the
next couple of days I am going to reveal who’s fault
it is.

Imagine this, you get my course OR you figure out how
to helped a loved one from a to z. You get it all done.
Everything is going great and BANG. The person starts
sliding into an episode. Can you imagine how this could
happen? I couldn’t believe how it did. BUT, it can happen.
Beware.

BUT, I wanted to tell you something else today. Okay, here’s
the situation. I woman called me and asked for a referral of
a doctor that I knew. I actually was way to busy to call her
back. So I forwarded the message to someone who helps me out.
The woman wanted a referral of a doctor in NJ by where she
lived. I knew of a good doctor. I normally NEVER, EVER
give referrals.

Why? Is it because I a mean? Oh, no. It’s because it
doesn’t work. The person insisted on getting the referral
so I “oked” it. I was kind of worn down.

The person went to the doctor and things didn’t work out
like they were suppose to. Anyway the person called me
back wanting to know if I really thought the doctor
was good and what the deal was. She left a message.

I got the message. I forwarded it to Jen. Jen is also
helping me out these days. You may have spoken to her.
Jen doesn’t have bipolar disorder but she knows enough
about it to help me out (she is not a doctor or lawyer
and doesn’t play one on TV either).

The woman called again and again. I saw her on my
caller id (which is a thing that lists calls that are coming
in for those outside the United States). I called her back
really quick.

She basically told me she wasn’t having a good experience
with the doctor. I listened. Then I realized why I never
give referrals even of good people. It’s the same reason
why when I hire people I don’t take referrals. Everyone
comes through a system.

Here’s the deal. There are a ton of people who have gotten
my courses and stuff. You know one of the key things in
my material at:

SUPPORTING AN ADULT

http://www.bipolarsupporter.com/report11

SUPPORTING A CHILD/TEEN
Visit:
http://www.bipolarparenting.com

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

Is the doctor finding system. You know how there are all
these steps and procedures one uses to get a doctor or
therapist to qualify themselves and actually contact you
and let you know they are good and serious and can help.

The problem is with a referral you skip the system and
that’s when the good potential person actually can turn
out to be bad. I told the person how to turn around the
doctor even though she didn’t come through the doctor
finding system. BUT I strongly believe, and now have seen
time and time again, the best doctors come through
the system.

Another thing, she had this misconception that I thought doctors
should be also the people who are the therapists. I am NOT
a doctor or lawyer, but in my opinion, and my opinion only,
they should be separate. You should formulate your own
opinion check with your doctor, lawyer, pastor, spiritual
advisor and everyone else to form your own.

I think this because it’s a check and balance. They can
check each other. Just like in the US, there isn’t ONE
branch of government. There is more than one to serve
as a check and balance. That’s the way my system is.

I suggested the lady and her husband think about if
they think separation of therapist and doctor is a good
idea. If so, use my doctor/therapist system to find a
therapist.

After that, I had to run. I think the lady probably
thought I was odd because there were pots and pans banging
in the background because I was cooking. Why am I cooking
in the middle of the day? Is it because I am crazy? No.

NOTE-If I do or say the slightest thing that is odd, people
think I have bipolar, schizophrenia, etc. If you knew
me personally, you would know, I think almost every single
thing I do from a to z.

Anyway, I eat 6 times a day for my training. That’s why,
if I call you, I may be cooking or doing dishes.
Maybe after I make the 52 million that some think I make
from this, I can pay someone to do it for me. Right now,
I do it myself just like I am sure you do.

Well I have to run. Catch you tomorrow. Stay tuned in
to my emails and blog to learn about my mom and this
most recent situation. It’s sad and disturbing. I am not
exaggerating this but what happen to my mom is truly
hard to believe.

I was telling my dad, if we didn’t have all this information,
my mom would have easily gone into another huge major episode.
Here’s the deal. Without information my dad and myself probably
would have left the state. Seriously. I simply don’t think
we could go through another major, disaster episode without any information.

Remember in my mom’s last episode, I had NO information. I
was figuring it out as I went along. I had to take almost
a year off from work. I suffered immensely.

The reason why I can support my mom is because I know how to.
I really don’t know how people do it without knowing how to do
it. That probably doesn’t make sense but I hope you understand
what I am saying.

I can deal with my mom because I know the ins and outs of it
is what I am saying.

Okay, have to run. Have a great day.

Yesterday I wrote you about the situation with my mom.
I have a lot to tell you but I can’t do it today. I
am currently still investigating but I am 99% sure
you’re going to be shocking at the cause of the
problem.

I will be writing a long email detailing things on
Monday I think.

Based on what I am seeing, it’s really disturbing.

Your Friend,

Hi,

I have some really bad news for me. Good news for
you. Here’s the deal. Over the last 10 days or so
my mom has increasing NOT been doing well.

I haven’t said anything because I like to
see how it goes before I make any determinations
as to what course of action I am going to take.

This is bad news for me. The good news is
I am going to try to explain what I did
to help her so you don’t have to learn the
hard way.

Over the last few days I have gotten a lot
of “That’s great your mom is doing great”
emails. I was thinking that maybe people
don’t know the entire situation.

Bipolar disorder is a life long thing. My mom
WAS doing great up until 10 days ago. But
something has changed. The thing is, you just
never know what can happen. She can be doing
great and then something happens. So
I don’t want to mislead you into thinking
there are never, every any problems.

The system I have setup handles most of
the problems but things are not perfect. A
year ago we had a situation. 6 months ago
we had a situation. Then since it’s a mood
disorder, my mom’s moods change quickly
so I have to deal with that.

Do NOT think for a second that everything, on
every day is perfect because it’s not. I want
to be 100% honest with you.

When I started these sites, I wanted to bring
how to information and positive material not
just negative stories you can read in the news.

I have courses/systems here that focus on people
who do well:

SUPPORTING AN ADULT
Visit:
http://www.bipolarsupporter.com/report11

SUPPORTING A CHILD/TEEN
Visit:
http://www.bipolarparenting.com

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

I think in doing so I may have unintentionally
caused you to think that everything is perfect
all the time with my mom.

Currently, I can’t even describe what’s going
on with my mom but it’s a growing problem. BUT,
she is NOT exhibiting traditional signs she
normally exhibited in the past. This makes
it really complicated.

Meaning, there is no screaming, no yelling,
no cooking random food, no spending money,
etc. All the stuff you can read in my story
that was in her last big episode.

It’s VERY strange. I don’t know if it’s
an episode or something else. I have never considered
something like this happening.

What happen? Well I can’t get into it because
I have to prepare to talk to her doctor, therapist,
and employment specialist today. It’s VERY complicated
to explain. I am going to be making charts, diagrams
and stuff for the doctor and therapist.

If you think you couldn’t do this, it’s going to be
on paper. I have no idea how to use any kind of graphics
program. I draw about as good at as a 7th grader.

So anyone could do what I am going to be doing to
get my point across to the right people.

Basically, a part of my system caught that there
was a problem. Her doctor was alerted. Keep in
mind her doctor 2 weeks or so ago, said she was
doing absolutely positively great and wanted to
see her in two months.

NOW before you get mad at her doctor. It’s not
her fault. Anyway, her doctor was alerted about
the situation. She responded and is bringing
my mom in early before 2 months.

It all kind of got worse really fast so it’s
been hard for me to keep up.

Today I have to investigate from a to z. I am
going to be talking to 3 people that help her.

Now, I have to be prepared for the following. And
this is important for you to realize. When I
call these people, I will be ready for all
possibilities:

them helpful treating me nice
them hostile not treating me nice
them saying I can’t talk to them
them saying they won’t talk to me

You might think, “Dave, why wouldn’t they talk
to you?” Well that’s part of the problem with
my mom BUT it’s hard to explain. On the other hand,
they may say they lost the talking release form
so I can’t speak
to them. I am not saying they will but they
may and I will be prepared.

Normally people hope for the best and plan
for the best which makes no sense. I hope
for the best and plan for a major disaster.

I model all the disasters and what I would
do and how the system would help me.

Last night I was talking to my dad. He is REALLY
REALLY worried. When this happens he thinks it’s
going to go back to 2 years ago.

I assured him that this was IMPOSSIBLE. There is
NO way that can happen. There is NO way the current
system would allow for it.

He said he believes me but I know in the back of his
mind he is really worried.

He said some rather interesting things to me. He
had a message for you as well.

He was telling me how he’s been married to my mom
for 41 years. For 39 years he was run over by my
mom’s bipolar disorder. He said he practiced
appeasement and it didn’t work.

He told me a few stories and I must say, they
were disturbing. Stories from 35 and 38 years ago.

Stories of how right after they first got married
my mom went into an episode and he didn’t even know
she had bipolar disorder or what was wrong.

I must say, I can’t imagine dealing with someone’s
bipolar disorder when there was no internet, no support
groups, no courses/systems like mine, no good books,
very few doctors, very few medications, very few
therapists, etc.

Imagine that? People complain on my list that there’s
nothing to help. How about 35 years ago?

It must have been a TOTAL nightmare. My dad told me
to tell you and I quote: “Tell your people on
your thing, they are lucky to have something
that tells them what to do or how to do it. I never
had that….Maybe I made a mistake and could have
done more research but I will tell you, 30 years
ago, there was no information. I tried to research
but there wasn’t anything. It was during that time
that I kind of gave up trying to beat the bipolar
disorder. It beat me.”

FYI: My dad calls my newsletter list “that thing.”

Anyway, it was kind of sad. It’s almost like the policy
of appeasement which was a contributor to World
War 2.

The Policy of Appeasement was the attitude, strategy, and
thinking Britain and France took against Germany before
World War 2 started. It’s the willingness to give
in to aggressive powers no matter what they wanted.

Over the years, my dad almost always gave into my mom’s
bipolar disorder episodes.

When I stepped in in 2004 and 2005, I redefined a new
strategy. I told my dad if I was going to help, there
was going to be a new strategy, policy and philosophy
and his had failed. He agreed.

The rest is history. Well I have to run and get ready
to go to my various “battles” for the day. In addition
to running my other businesses, working out, volunteering,
etc.

I also have a war with my printer. And another one. I am
currently engaged in 3 wars with three different things
all at the same time. Think I will lose?

I have a complete strategy for all of them. I must
admit, my resources are being really taxed.

I will win. I am 100% certain of it.

People wonder why I talk so much about wars, history,
battles, etc. If you haven’t already noticed, this is
a war with many battles along the way. You are fighting
a war against bipolar disorder NOT your loved one. A
war that must be won.

Some days you lose the battle but in the long run,
you have to win the war. Battles make wars. To many
battle lost lead to losing the war. Make sense?

I have to run.

I will keep you posted on my mom. Have a great day.

Dave

Hi,

I am going to teach you a powerful bipolar disorder
strategy I used against a printer.

Okay if you have been on my list for a while, you know
that I have had HUGE problems with my printer. I am
currently working to transfer everything over to another
printer in upstate New York. It’s going to take about
3 weeks or so.

So far, this printer is EXCELLENT. HOWEVER, I still
have to work with the old printer who is a NIGHTMARE.

The old printer:
forgets work to be done
overcharges
doesn’t return my phone calls
gives me an attitude when I call
ignores me
talks down to me
doesn’t answer any of my questions
offers no advice on how to improve the system.
doesn’t really care about the work

This printer has cost me a fortune or time AND money.
Now, this email is not about printers it’s about bipolar
disorder. Look at this.

Guess who this is?

Forgets appointments
overcharges
doesn’t return my phone calls
gives me an attitude when I call
ignores me
talks down to me
doesn’t answer any of my questions
offer no advice on how to improve the system
doesn’t really care about the situation.

You might be thinking, “Dave you just wrote the same
thing again. What the heck is wrong with you? Do you
have bipolar disorder? Maybe ADHD or something else?
Should I stay on your list because maybe there’s
something wrong with you?”

GUESS WHO OR WHAT I AM REFERRING TO IN THE LAST LIST?
Then scroll down.

GUESS THEN SCROLL No cheating!

I am referring to my mom’s out patient program
that she went to for 90 or 100 days or so. What?
You are confused maybe. Let me explain.

When I was thinking about the printer, I realized
they were the same as the outpatient
program my mom went to.

NOTE: An outpatient program is this. People go
to inpatient where they have to stay. Then usually
hospitals or insurance companies put them out
and put them in outpatient programs where people
are only there for the day or a few days a week.
This is a really sneaky way for the system to reduce costs.

Anyway, Am I crazy? NO! That’s exactly what the outpatient
program was like. It was just like the printer I was
dealing with. Same type of issues just different people.

For example, the program would not tell me what was
going on with my mom and kept changing her doctors,
her treatment and always
saying she was doing great and should be released
even though she was not stable at all.

It’s like they wanted to just get rid of her. They
had no care in the world. I would call and they would
avoid my calls, ignore me, talk down to me, etc. I would
tell them how my mom was screaming and yelling at everyone
that she threw a phone at me. How she spit on me. How
she painted a message to my dad and myself on the wall
in the house and that she should NOT be let out of the program.
They would just ignore me. People would never call me
back.

They treated me like a young dumb kid.

Well, I have gotten a handle on the printer and I am
going to tell you which powerful bipolar strategy
I used on the printer.

What I did was this. I used the Mrs. C. Principle.
This is a strategy I learned from a woman who’s last
name started with a C. This lady was powerful.

Her son was one of my best friends in high school. He
had dyslexia and he was mistreated by the school until
Mrs. C, his mom, found out.

She had a strategy and it worked.

Here’s what I did based on what I learned from her
some 15 years ago.

First, you ONLY use this if your objective is
not in violation of any local, state, federal,
international laws. AND that’s it’s moral
and ethical and doesn’t go against your faith.

After I make this determination, I am ready to
go.

I start at the lower levels. Asking for whatever
I need. I am pleasant. I am nice. I say please.
I say thank you. I almost beg for assistance.

Then I will surely be blocked and not get help.
BUT, according to the Mrs. C. strategy, you have
to give them the ability to help you before
you move to level or strategy 2.

Then you find a supervisor or boss and state
your case and act just as nice as you were to
the first set of people or persons.

If this fails, level 3 is the next level.

You find the highest possible people in the
organization. You find, the CEO, the operations
people. People who run the entire show. You get
their addresses, fax number and phone number.

You prepare for an all out battle to get your
way. The person in this position does not want
to talk to you and will do whatever it takes
to make you go away happy. This is the way
large organizations work.

You write. You call these people. You go
and see them. You state your case. You
drive them crazy. You only talk to the
high up people and NOT the low level
people.

The top people HATE complaints and know
that too many complaints derail their “career
path.” They hate letters, threats of letters.
They hate hearing how their organization is
terrible and that you are going to tell others.

With my mom’s outpatient program, I did this. They
kept my mom in the program. They kept her to right
until the insurance ran out. They provided the best
service they could. They treated me nice. They
didn’t get my mom stable but the tried hard even
though I think most of them were clueless and
incompetent.

This only happened because I went to the top
and was all over the top people. The top people
wanted to avoid me like the plaque. They must have
issued a command of “MAKE THIS KID HAPPY” to
the lower level people. And, “I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR
FROM HIM AGAIN.”

You know in many mental health places, the service
is horrible and if someone started looking they would
be appalled. The people running the places aren’t dumb.
They know this. It’s a secret. They don’t want anyone
to know either. So when you start hammering the people
at the top, they want to make you happy and make
you go away and be quiet.

Now I only told you about 90% of the Mrs. C. strategy
because the rest is too long. I have to run. BUT, if
this doesn’t work. There is the final strategy
that I learned from her and another person that I have
NEVER seen fail. It gets results. Most people won’t
need it however. The people running most of these
mental health places you may have to deal with don’t
require it.

You can find out about it in one of my courses/systems:

SUPPORTING A CHILD/TEEN
Visit:
http://www.bipolarparenting.com

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

REMEMBER you can only use this for things you are in
the right with. For example you would not use this
strategy to get your loved one a f.ree TV and Sony
Xbox while they were getting well again.
That wouldn’t be right. You
can’t abuse the strategy.

If you do, there’s a counter strategy that can
be used against you so don’t do it.

With the printer, I called the CEO yesterday and got
an assistant to the President. She immediately didn’t
want me to talk to him (because she probably would have
been fired if I called him and got through).

She started to handle everything. With 60 minutes I was
called by many lower level people with temporary resolutions
to my problems. TEMPORARY. This printer is a nightmare. No
matter what, they will always be a problem so I have to
move on even if it looks good for the next few weeks.

This is a good lesson in itself for mental health. If a
doctor, therapist, hospital, etc. is terrible and then
you use the Mrs. C. strategy and turn them around, it
won’t last forever. You will have to keep doing it. I
recommend you use the strategy and transition to some
person or place that doesn’t require constantly
using this strategy.

SIDE NOTE-My best friend, graduated, went to college
and is a huge success thanks to his hard work and his
mom–Mrs. C.

Mrs. C is legendary. People would run from her and hide.
She meant business. She would blast people. She had a
way with words that instilled fear into the hearts of
those in the high school. She was one powerful woman.
NOBODY wanted to mistreat her son. He got the best
education he could. The education that he was legally
entitled to. Nothing more. Nothing less.

I have to run.

Catch you tomorrow.

Your Friend,

Dave
