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:

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.

Your Friend,

Dave
