Hi,
I wanted to send out a quick message about something I thought about.
It’s in reference to the new resource I have:
“How to Get Your Loved One With Bipolar Disorder To The Doctor, Psychiatrist, or Hospital When They Don’t Want to Go” Located here:

One big mistake that people make is assuming that everyone in the mental health system is going to do the right thing and help your loved one. It’s really odd but you would think that if your loved one is not stable, screaming and yelling and doing a lot of “bad” things, people would be falling over themselves to help you help them, right?
Well in most cases, this is NOT and I repeat NOT the case.
Generally most people in the “system” have to be motivated, persuaded or even pushed into helping.
Many times, new bipolar supporters find themselves confused, mad and angry. The worst thing is when you have to start battling the mental health system while at the same time trying to get your loved one into treatment.
The key thing is to remember is that many times there is no single person you can outsource or delegate the
task of getting your loved one into treatment. It’s going to have to be you the supporter.
There’s a very good chance that the people in the mental health system will not be helpful at first.
I really don’t know why but this is the way it is.
There are lots of techniques and strategies to get them to help but you never know which of the 10 is going to work.

I go through a number of them that I have discovered. So again, don’t count on the system make sure you count on your system. But also remember that you can indeed turn the people around in the system from not helpful to helpful after some time.
I know this sounds confusing and it really is but it’s the truth.

Here is a poem that discribes many people. Going on 6 years doesn’t seem. Like every couple shines with beams. Adults not children, children all grown. What was past is now sewn. Deep inside emptiness shines, Small hopes here and there binds. Days of past, childhood dreams, broken hopes_ no idea how to cope. Looking back, looking back, now a senior still looking back. Just what do I lack? Sadness, emptiness not a full life, sedintary if only to rid the strife. Out of this grey curtain, from all the past hurtin. Longing for joy, purpose, to live with happiness an peace. Just let this cease. To feel warmth an energy to feel the real inner me. Why does it curse me so? I am not the foe. Remove this beast so I can feel. If only a few minutes that I can steal.
can i ask you a question? my husband just after i threw him a 50th birthday party went into his usual winter depression but this time he felt he had to act out sexually. he visited massage parlors and had sex with prostitutes and than two months later he really fell into a deep depression curled up on the couch. we run our own business and he was able to keep up for the most part. he did not sleep for months before this happened which seems to happen a lot in the summer months. I have never seen him what I though of as “manic” – like fast talking or hyperactive but he doesn’t sleep for days. could he just be depressed? his psychologist can’t say anything to me because of course he is over 18 and considered an adult and I got him to go to a psychiatrist and he can’t tell me anything but i know he has been taking seriquel (sorry spelling?) but since I am not an expert either it leaves me confused and scared about what i should do and i have two
beautiful children… and i’m starting to feel crazy and i know you are not a doctor but what is your opinion?
