Hi,
I was just getting ready to take off for a meeting and wanted to send this to you.
The other day, I sent out the link above and people asked how to use the little bipolar explanation booklets.
It was located here:

Here’s one great technique that I used. I kind of talked about it a little the other day but I
wanted to talk about it more today.
Here’s how it works. First you get the booklet and read it yourself. It’s a quick read.
Then you give one to someone like a friend or family member and say, “Can you take
a look at this and then I will call to talk to you about it.”
This kind of forces someone in a nice way to take a look at the booklet which is a quick read.
Then you can ask them, “what did you think?” This opens up the conversation for you. Make sense?
This is actually what I did with many people. I used this technique with my mom’s mom or my grandmother. My grandmother had a whole bunch of questions after reading the booklet and wanted to talk about it.
By doing this, it made it easier how to explain bipolar disorder to her and start a conversation.
Make sense?
If you need help explaining bipolar disorder, here’s the link again:

I am taking off now. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.
