We are in bad shape. <br \/>My son has bipolar disorder. Please help us.<br \/>Steve<br \/>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>You have no idea how much an email like this<br \/>just breaks my heart.  I get SO many emails<br \/>just like it, every day.  And I want to help each<br \/>and every person, believe me!  There are some<br \/>days that I only get 4 hours of sleep because I<br \/>spend so much time helping everyone else.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I am certainly NOT <br \/>asking for pity here.  That would be the last<br \/>thing I would ever do.  But I do want you all<br \/>to know that I treat each and every email with<br \/>heart and all the understanding that I have in<br \/>me, because I know where you are coming<br \/>from, because I went thru it with my mom for<br \/>so many years.<\/p>\n<p>I know bipolar.  I know how it can take over<br \/>your life.  I know how much pain it can cause.<br \/>I know how alone you can feel.<\/p>\n<p>Believe me, I can so identify with the man in<br \/>this email.  I have been there!  I feel his<br \/>pain!<br \/>And he is coming to me for help, as SO<br \/>many of you have, and still do on a<br \/>daily basis.  <\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, I can&#8217;t help everyone.<br \/>There is only one of me.  But it is that<br \/>desire to help everyone that motivated<br \/>me to write my courses in the first<br \/>place, and to offer them to you:<\/p>\n<p>SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>Visit:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11\">http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11<\/a><\/p>\n<p>SUPPORTING A CHILD\/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>Visit:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com\">http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>Visit:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net\">http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now, believe me \u2013 I am accused all the<br \/>time of being money-hungry, or of being<br \/>in this only for the money, and other<br \/>comments like that, just because I charge<br \/>for my courses.<\/p>\n<p>Please understand \u2013 If I could, I would<br \/>offer every single course, Special <br \/>Report, manual, etc. f.ree of charge to<br \/>everyone who needs it!  Because I<br \/>KNOW that you need what I have<br \/>written!  I KNOW you need this<br \/>information!<\/p>\n<p>But, unfortunately, at this time I just<br \/>can&#8217;t do that.  I truly, truly wish I<br \/>could.  The best I can do is to make it<br \/>all as affordable as I can.  And to offer<br \/>some things f.ree, like these emails.<\/p>\n<p>I hope at least these emails are helping<br \/>you.  I try to make them as informative<br \/>as possible.<\/p>\n<p>The man in that email said, &#8220;We really<br \/>need help\u2026please help us.&#8221;  The best way<br \/>I can help anyone is thru my courses.<br \/>Because the best way I think anyone with<br \/>bipolar disorder or a supporter of a loved<br \/>one with bipolar disorder can be helped is<br \/>thru knowledge \u2013 thru learning as much as<br \/>they can about the disorder.<\/p>\n<p>Steve, if you&#8217;re reading this, I sincerely<br \/>hope I have helped you.  My heart goes<br \/>out to you.<\/p>\n<p>I do spend a massive amount of time more<br \/>than 50% of my day doing this even<br \/>though I am not suppose to. I send daily<br \/>emails, do videos, special reports, etc.<br \/>to help as many people as I can. But, <br \/>I am getting to the point as we approach<br \/>200,000 people who have subscribed, <br \/>I can&#8217;t individually help people anymore.<\/p>\n<p>I do struggle that I can&#8217;t help everyone.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s very stressful. I actually had to talk<br \/>to people in a similar situation to ask how<br \/>they handle it. They said that I have to help<br \/>as many people as I can but not hurt myself.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last 6 months, I have been working<br \/>18 hours a day every day. Zero time off.<br \/>If I wasn&#8217;t younger, I would be in trouble.<\/p>\n<p>But I have to hire more people and slow down<br \/>other wise, I won&#8217;t be any good to anyone.<\/p>\n<p>Know what I mean? I just wanted to write so<br \/>you weren&#8217;t mad at me.<\/p>\n<p>Think that I am wrong for saying this?<\/p>\n<p>Your friend,<\/p>\n<p>Dave<\/p>\n<p>===>> Great Resources For You <===\n\nGet Your Own Subscription To This Newsletter<br \/>Want your own copy of these daily bipolar<br \/>emails sent to you for F.ree?
