I recently read your article on finding support groups for those of us with bipolar disorder. I’m confused in this article it states that you suffer from bipolar disorder however in everything I’ve read from you it always refers to your mother as having the disease never you. Why is this? Are you ashamed that you to suffer from the same disease or is this article a ruse or does it make for better reading material? If it is about you and you have never revealed it until today I feel somewhat betrayed and I know others probably do as well. Why always make it your mothers’ disease and her problems or are you so highly functional that you have no problems of your own? I seem to recall something in the article about taking responsibility for ones actions; if so let’s practice what we preach.
I do not have bipolar disorder that’s why I don’t say I have it.

I have a question for Mr. Oliver that doesn’t really pertain to the news. I just didn’t know how else to contact you. I’m Bipolar and I wonder why I do what I do. I shut everybody out. I don’t let ANYBODY know what’s going on except my Dr. even when I’m manic – unless I can’t help it. Sure- I yell alot at my kids, and everybody knows I’m moody, but I don’t want anybody to know I’m depressed, suicidal, paranoid, manic or whatever. Why do I do that? Is that normal behavior?
My mother is bipolar. I am at the end of my rope. She keeps getting worse and worse. She has been calling me latly leaving nasty messages. I don’t know what to do. I just got married. We went to Hawaii on our own just so she would not mess our day up. Well, now she is giving us a reseption.She claims all i do is complain about everything. So not true. I am in the middle of starting my new career.I have been going on interviews. i am a stylist so I take clients at home right now. so I am super busy. She calls me 10 times a day. If I do not answer she getsreally bad and hateful. I can’t take it. I don’t know what to do. Please help!

Thank you Dave for all your articles. I am an Anglican priest married to an Argentine lady with a bpolar mind.Like your dad I have resisted for 27 years putting my wife in hospital,especailly an Argentine one. Although she resists medication ,she is interested in Natural ones . want to buy your book on that. How? Norman
My son just recently turned 18 and is about to become a father for the first time. He is great with kids, He loves his nephew who is 5 I just wonder will he do ok when his baby is born when he has to hear all the crying that babies do. Because he will not go back to see his Phsyc. to get back on his meds even though he says that he feels that he needs them.

I have bi-polar disorder for 15 yrs. I’m what they call a rapid cycler. I’ve attempted suiside numerous times, thankfully w/o success. I’ve been to many dr’s,therepist,hospitals and on every medicine invented. My doctor now doesn’t have any hospital privledges and just hands out medicine like “the assembly line” you refer to. I’ve seen him for years. I’m scared to move from him because I have been treated very badly and basicaly very inhumanely in the past. At least he spends 10 minutes a month w/me. and I can stop in whenever something is wrong EXCEPT for being susidal. They take you away put you in a patted room! I feel unworthy as a human. I don’t have a support system. I feel all alone afraid to face the world afraid to live. I started reading your articles and related to things i didn’t realize b-4. That I have such a hard time paying the intire bills. my money problems and grandiose ideas. The craziest schemes I come up with. I’ve learned to recognize my triggers to episodes and coping skills to help me survive. Sometimes it blindsides me and my significant other sees the difference and keeps an eye on me but hes lacking the knowledge to fully help. what do you do David when you have noone to count on but yourself and half the time you do the wrong things. I want to leave this life without regret and to start something and finish it. succed at something and be validated. For the first time I see a glimmer of hope as I read your articles. You should also help people like you help your mom. I think people like me would benefit from it. T H A N K U, David. P.S. your mom is lucky to a have a son like you. Sorry for taking up your valuble time telling you about me! scared but hopefull in OKLAHOMA.
