Hi,<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

How’s it going? Hope you have a great day today.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Update. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You know what I was thinking. I am like 95% certain that I can grow the entire organization by only hiring people connected to my list.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That’s a great thing. We have done some experiments with hiring and looking at the retention and have concluded that through my list we can get all the good people we need.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That’s a great thing. Keep reading these daily bipolar emails for new notices of new positions.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you see a position a friend might be interested, please forward the information to him\/her.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Okay?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Today I want to talk to you about jumping to conclusions.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It has to do with minor depression and major depression.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I was reading this article in one of the journals that I get, and it gave this description of minor depression:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“Minor depression is a proposed diagnosis for depression which is not severe enough to meet the criteria for major depression <\/span><\/p>\n

and has not lasted the two years necessary to be considered dysthymia.”<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Even major depression doesn’t come close to the deep depression of a bipolar depressive episode, as you most likely know.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But still, there is a difference between your loved one being just depressed and being in a bipolar depressive cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In my courses\/systems below:<\/span><\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I talk about the different types of bipolar disorder, and one of them includes more depression than mania, So if your loved one has that type of bipolar disorder, you’re probably familiar with that type of depression.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But I still want to talk about not jumping to conclusions.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What I mean by that is that maybe your loved one is just having a bad day.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Or maybe they’re just in a bad mood.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Or maybe they are in a minor depression, <\/span>for a very short span of time (not by the <\/span>definition above) \u2013 just for a day, I mean. <\/span>With someone who doesn’t have bipolar disorder, or even you, that would be ok. You wouldn’t assume they (or you) are in the beginning of an episode, would you?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But too many people jump to the conclusion (wrongly) that just because someone has bipolar disorder that they’re never allowed<\/span><\/p>\n

to have a bad day, get in a bad mood, or just plain get normally (minorly) depressed.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s ok if your loved one gets depressed. <\/span>It happens to everyone. <\/span>Not everything is going to be ok all the time. <\/span>Not everyone is happy all the time. <\/span>That’s just normal.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You know Michele who works for me. Well, her and her husband (her supporter) have a system. <\/span>He allows her to have one bad day (they call it a bad bipolar day). It’s even ok if she wants to spend the whole day in bed.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If she’s still depressed on the second day, he at least makes her get out of bed. <\/span>But if she’s still depressed on the third day, he makes her get out of the house and go somewhere, so that she doesn’t go into a bipolar depressive episode. <\/span>He watches her signs\/symptoms very closely at that point (it’s not the same as jumping to conclusions then).<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That’s their system. <\/span>But just one day doesn’t count. <\/span>One day is ok.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

See the difference?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So, remember \u2013 don’t jump to conclusions just because your loved one has one depressed day. <\/span>Everyone does, and that’s just normal. <\/span>Don’t assume they’re going into an episode.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I remember this one time that my mom got cut off from someone while driving. If you are from the New York area, you know that people can be REALLY, REALLY mean when they drive. It’s like a war zone sometimes. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway my mom got cut off. The guy screamed at her as well. How do I <\/span>know it really happened? I was there with her.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

My mom came home and was mad about it. My brother was over my parents house at the time. He said, “here’s she goes again going into an episode.”<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He had clearly heard the story and still concluded that she was going into an episode and she didn’t have the right to be mad. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I on the other hand was SUPER mad at the person that cut her off. Between the two of us, my mom was way more calm. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I would have spent the day trying to find him : )<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But my brother focused on my mom and didn’t look at the situation?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

See the difference?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you are a bipolar supporter have you jumped to conclusions?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you are a survivor has someone constantly jumped to conclusions with you?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Let me know.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hey I have to run.<\/span><\/p>\n
