Hi,

I am still at my seminar but wanted to
email you part two of the series about
how to get help when you have trouble
with bipolar disorder–whether you
are a supporter or a person with
the illness.

If you didn’t read this part, please
check out:

Okay, the next part of making a list of
your problems is to rank them in order
of importance and then here comes
the really important part.

You go somewhere where you can
think. I suggest, park, friend’s
house, library, etc.

Once you are there, you take the most
pressing problem
and then put it on a blank sheet of
paper.

Then you brainstorm EVERY possible
solution you have to the problem
really, really fast. There is no thinking
you just write. Some things you might
write might be crazy so to speak.

Just write it all out really fast.

Then after about 15 minutes or
so review your ideas. Then group
them. You will start to see some
possible viable solutions to
your problems.

Then if you find that you don’t have
any solutions, review your most pressing
problems each morning. And then you will
find people, places or things that you
seem to come in contact with that
can help you. Once you find something
that can help, take action and move
forward to solve the problem.

That’s it. This is exactly how I did
it for my mom and other areas in
my life.

Well I have to take off because
I am at that seminar, catch you tomorrow.
