So I got a<br \/>note from the call center <br \/>and called the person.<\/p>\n<p>He was surprised that I actually<br \/>called him. I do this sometimes<br \/>when I have time.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, we got to talking<br \/>and he asked me a bunch of questions<br \/>about bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n<p>I wound up talking to him for like<br \/>one hour.<\/p>\n<p>He was a really nice person but he<br \/>really got a whole lot of miss information.<br \/>He actually was a bipolar supporter I think.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, he was told many wrong things<br \/>about bipolar disorder that are simply<br \/>deadly. The kinds of things that if someone<br \/>followed them, they lead to almost certain<br \/>death. I am not being dramatic. I almost don&#8217;t<br \/>even want to write some of the things he<br \/>thought. I don&#8217;t want people to take it the<br \/>wrong way.<\/p>\n<p>I felt that it was my duty to explain what<br \/>I knew to be the truth.<\/p>\n<p>So that&#8217;s why I spoke to him for so long.<\/p>\n<p>But it reminded me about another daily email<br \/>that I once sent before\u2026<\/p>\n<p>I think I have found out what the<br \/>#1 bipolar killer is:<\/p>\n<p>I think it is IGNORANCE.<\/p>\n<p>Think about it.<\/p>\n<p>Webster&#8217;s dictionary says that<br \/>the definition of ignorance is<br \/>&#8220;being ignorant.&#8221;  And the <br \/>definition of ignorant is:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;destitute of knowledge or<br \/>education.&#8221;  See that?<\/p>\n<p>Destitute means poor.  Actually,<br \/>really poor.  So someone who<br \/>is ignorant is &#8220;really poor in<br \/>education or knowledge.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know about you, but<br \/>I always thought an ignorant<br \/>person was someone who was<br \/>just stupid.<\/p>\n<p>But now I realize how that&#8217;s <br \/>just a really mean thing to think<br \/>about someone who is ignorant,<br \/>because it&#8217;s not that they&#8217;re stupid,<br \/>it&#8217;s just that they DON&#8221;T KNOW!<\/p>\n<p>In all my courses, I stress so much<br \/>the importance of KNOWLEDGE:<\/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>You know how I am always <br \/>stressing the value of knowledge,<br \/>how I&#8217;m always preaching about<br \/>how important it is to keep<br \/>educating yourself about bipolar<br \/>disorder.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s what all my courses are<br \/>all about!  That&#8217;s what all my<br \/>emails are all about.  That&#8217;s what<br \/>all my newsletters are all about.<br \/>That&#8217;s what my website is all<br \/>about.  That&#8217;s what *I* am all<br \/>about!<\/p>\n<p>I want to educate you about<br \/>bipolar disorder.  I want you to<br \/>learn everything you can learn<br \/>about the disorder, so that you<br \/>can master it instead of it mastering<br \/>you.  (Sound familiar?)<\/p>\n<p>Ignorance, by definition meaning,<br \/>NOT KNOWING, can lead to a<br \/>person not taking their medication<br \/>or the right medication because they<br \/>don&#8217;t know what to tell their doctor.<\/p>\n<p>Ignorance can lead to a person committing<br \/>suicide because they DON&#8221;T KNOW<br \/>what else to do!<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s think about that.  Ignorance leads<br \/> to people NOT KNOWING what to do.<\/p>\n<p>Can you see how serious that can be <br \/>when you&#8217;re dealing with bipolar<br \/>disorder?<\/p>\n<p>Now do you see why I&#8217;m always<br \/>preaching about you getting as<br \/>much knowledge about the disorder<br \/>as you can?  <\/p>\n<p>Why I&#8217;m always telling you that<br \/>next to medication that knowledge<br \/>is the next important thing to<br \/>recovery from bipolar disorder?<\/p>\n<p>KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s true.  The fastest route to the<br \/>life of stability is to gain knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>Knowledge is the opposite of<br \/>Ignorance.<\/p>\n<p>There are websites on the internet<br \/>that promote TOTAL lies about<br \/>bipolar disorder. These people say<br \/>things that if followed with CAUSE people&#8217;s<br \/>deaths. <\/p>\n<p>I have spoken to these people and honestly<br \/>they have no clue. They are not evil people<br \/>just completely misguided folks.<\/p>\n<p>But the problem is, they spread things<br \/>and then people spread what they heard<br \/>and then like the guy I spoke to today,<br \/>get information that is totally wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Information that is potentially deadly <br \/>if followed.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t be ignorant, do your research<br \/>AND check out what I say too. If <br \/>I say stuff, thinking about it, research,<br \/>check me out, does what I say make sense?<\/p>\n<p>If I am ever on a conference call, challenge<br \/>me. I love it. Why? Well I have carefully thought<br \/>about everything that I say and recommend and<br \/>I never make any claims to be a doctor or<br \/>therapist.<\/p>\n<p>I have seen sites were people suggest that<br \/>they are doctors when they are not.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I have to run, don&#8217;t let<br \/>ignorance get the best of you or else.<\/p>\n<p>Choose knowledge not ignorance.<\/p>\n<p>Bipolar disorder really kills through<br \/>lack of knowledge or ignorance<\/p>\n<p>Which are you going to choose?<\/p>\n<p>Your friend,<\/p>\n<p>Dave<br \/>&#8211;<\/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?
