Hi,<\/p>\n
I hope you’re having a good day.<\/p>\n
Hey, everyone was asking me about my Goddaughter’s birthday and how old she is.<\/p>\n
She is 1. We had a lot of fun yesterday. I bought her a little people animal farm type of toy.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I had the worst day of eating in seriously years. I feel terrible. I had all carbs for 50% of the day. No protein. I had so much cake it’s a joke. I feel TERRIBLE today.<\/p>\n
So I am going to the gym TWICE today : )<\/p>\n
Two cardio sessions.<\/p>\n
Anyway, thanks for asking if you did.<\/p>\n
Okay, I got a call from someone that I know who is dealing with bipolar disorder late last night.<\/p>\n
Her husband has bipolar disorder and she was afraid. She said he had “gone off the deep end.”<\/p>\n
She said he stopped taking his medication and was yelling and screaming at her loudly. I told her to follow my course and contact the doctor on his emergency line.<\/p>\n
She said, “I never thought my husband could be like your mom.”<\/p>\n
I was kind of annoyed by that statement.<\/p>\n
First I want to say something. Soooooooo many people say to me, “I am not like your mom.”<\/p>\n
Or they say, “My loved one is not like your mom.”<\/p>\n
Listen, my mom was never that bad most of my life. I mean, she was bad sometimes but not that bad before the last major episode.<\/p>\n
With bipolar disorder, without a system it can get worse.<\/p>\n
The person who never did anything wrong can sometimes turn violent. They are not in their right mind.<\/p>\n
Look at this:<\/p>\n
Hello David,<\/p>\n
Hi my name is Michael, my wife (name omitted) has been speaking to you for a couple years now. I have a question for you, when my son goes crazy and I have to restrain him from hurting others or himself, He will say just kill me and get it over with it. Have you ever had to deal with that, if so how do you respond, I know my self I go from complete anger to complete sympathy, without him knowing. What would you do in that situation, how do I deal with that statement?<\/p>\n
Thanks Mike

First let me say that I am NOT a doctor, therapist, lawyer, financial advisor, law enforcement official, etc.<\/p>\n
I am NOT offering any medical, legal, financial or professional advice. But I will tell you this, because it is a fact:<\/p>\n
Your loved one CAN become violent, even if they have never been violent before.<\/p>\n
Especially if they go off their medication, because, as I said, they are not in their right mind.<\/p>\n
You know Michele, who works for me.<\/p>\n
Well, her sister had bipolar disorder, went off her medication, threw herself through a plate glass door, called the police and claimed spousal abuse and had her husband arrested!<\/p>\n
Another day she told her husband that she had hidden a box cutter in the house and that he better not go to sleep that night, because she was going to slit his throat if he did!<\/p>\n
I know this sounds horrible, but it’s true.<\/p>\n
Your loved one CAN turn violent, even if they’ve never been violent before.<\/p>\n
I said in the beginning that without a system it can get worse. In my courses\/systems below, I talk about how you have to have a system:<\/p>\n
SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER? SUPPORTING A CHILD\/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER? HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER? What you do is, between episodes, when your loved one is calm and receptive to good communication, the two of you sit down and work out what you would do if your loved one did become violent. You have to have a system in place, just in case.<\/p>\n I know one couple who did this.<\/p>\n Here’s what they worked out.<\/p>\n They decided that if he goes into an episode and becomes violent, that the first thing she should do is call 911 and the police, so he doesn’t hurt her.<\/p>\n As long as she calls right away, chances are he won’t hurt her, so she can stay to tell the police that he has bipolar disorder, so they won’t take him to jail, they’ll just restrain him and take him to the hospital.<\/p>\n During that time, she is to call her husband’s psychiatrist, to let him know what’s happening, so he can be in touch with the hospital, in case they need his help with medications, etc., or his advice on where to send her husband (what facility, etc.).<\/p>\n Then she is to take all his medications and follow them to the hospital.<\/p>\n See? They have a very comprehensive system that they worked out in advance, when her husband was not in an episode that protects both of them should he become violent.<\/p>\n Mostly, they acknowledged the fact that, even though they didn’t want to think about that fact, and didn’t want to think that it might happen, they still worked out a system in case it should.<\/p>\n Another point, too. They also have a signed Medical Release and Power of Attorney signed by him (when he was not in an episode) that she has a copy of that she would take with her to the hospital in case she would need to admit him. This is a very important point, because during an episode, especially when your loved one is violent, you will NOT be able to get his\/her signature on one of these forms, and you will be restricted from having access to them and\/or their records and\/or their care.<\/p>\n There also might be personal things you might need to do, like have access to your bank accounts, that a Power of Attorney will enable you to do.<\/p>\n I know it’s probably hard to believe right now that our loved one could turn violent, but with bipolar disorder it’s always a possibility.<\/p>\n Just make sure you have a system in place.<\/p>\n Do you agree with this or think I am out of my mind. Do you believe ANYONE with bipolar disorder can turn violent who is not with the right treatment plan?<\/p>\n FIND OUT WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT ME David Oliver is the author of the shocking guide \u201cBipolar Disorder\u2014The REAL Silent Killer.\u201d Click Here<\/span><\/a><\/strong> to get FREE Information<\/strong> sent via email on how and why bipolar disorder kills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi,<\/p>\n I hope you’re having a good day.<\/p>\n Hey, everyone was asking me about my Goddaughter’s birthday and how old she is.<\/p>\n She is 1.
