Hold on &#8211; I&#8217;m going to use my new cool electronic toothbrush.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I said, &#8220;ok.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So he went into the bathroom and he was back in about 30 seconds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I was like, &#8220;So hurry up and brush your teeth!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And he said, &#8220;Dude, I&#8217;m all set!  It&#8217;s done. Let&#8217;s roll.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So I said, &#8220;It only took you 30 seconds?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And he was like, &#8220;DUDE!  Don&#8217;t go econ on me!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">NOTE:  Econ is economics, which has nothing to do with why I was asking. My friend is kind of simple.  He just focuses on body building and power lifting and according to him, &#8220;Nothing else matters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">ANOTHER NOTE:  If you have been on my list for awhile, you notice that I have several friends that use the word &#8220;Dude&#8221; and when they want to make a point, they just say it louder.  So DUDE in all caps is louder than dude in lower case.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ok, so I said to him, &#8220;You&#8217;re supposed to brush for at least 2 minutes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He said to me, &#8220;DUDE, you think too much. You are too smart.  Just have fun!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So then I said, &#8220;That&#8217;s why your teeth are falling apart.  You need to have patience and wait the full 2 minutes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He said, &#8220;Okay, DAD&#8230;&#8221; (notice he said DAD, not DUDE) &#8220;&#8230;I will, can we go? I&#8217;m already hungry and I need to get in 325 grams of protein in my day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">NOTE:  If you&#8217;re saying to yourself, &#8220;Holy cow, 325 grams of protein in a day is a ton,&#8221; you&#8217;re right!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I told my friend, &#8220;Your teeth are going to thank me in 10 years, you know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So he just said, &#8220;Ok.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I know this is a funny story, but you&#8217;re probably wondering what it could possibly have to do with bipolar disorder, right?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Well, I&#8217;ll tell you.  After thinking about this, I know a lot of people that use an electronic toothbrush and use it for<br \/>\nonly 30 seconds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Why?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Because they don&#8217;t follow the directions and don&#8217;t have patience.  They want INSTANT results.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It&#8217;s just like bipolar survivors and supporters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sometimes they want INSTANT results, too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In my courses\/systems, I teach that it takes TIME for stability to happen:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>\nVisit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11\">http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">SUPPORTING A CHILD\/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>\nVisit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com\">http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>\nVisit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net\">http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net<\/a><br \/>\nThe good news is that stability CAN be reached.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But you have to do certain things to get there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It&#8217;s not going to happen overnight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It&#8217;s certainly not going to happen in 30 seconds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And it&#8217;s definitely not going to happen instantly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It takes TIME for it to happen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">FIND OUT WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT ME<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bipolarcentral.com\/testimonials\">http:\/\/www.bipolarcentral.com\/testimonials<\/a><\/p>\n<p>David Oliver is the author of the shocking guide \u201cBipolar Disorder\u2014The REAL Silent Killer.\u201d  <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hypertracker.com\/go\/Post\/BP_Kills_BlogAd\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Click Here<\/span><\/a><\/strong> to get <strong>FREE Information<\/strong> sent via email on how and why bipolar disorder kills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What&#8217;s going on?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hope you are doing well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I forgot to tell you something and you are going to think this is strange.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you are new to my list or maybe a friend told you to join and you saw my subject line, you might be questioning either yourself or your friend as to what in the world a toothbrush could have to do with bipolar disorder,<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/bipolarsupporterblog\/bipolar-disorder-lesson-from-electronic-toothbrushes\/\" class=\"more-link pull-right\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue Reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Bipolar Disorder Lesson From Electronic Toothbrushes - Bipolar Supporter Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/bipolarsupporterblog\/bipolar-disorder-lesson-from-electronic-toothbrushes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Bipolar Disorder Lesson From Electronic Toothbrushes - Bipolar Supporter Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hi, What&#8217;s going on?
