=>PLEASE FORWARD TO FRIENDS, FAMILY AND LOVED ONES <=\n\nHi,\n\nHow’s it going?\n\n
I hope you are doing well.<\/p>\n
I wanted to email you something really
important concerning my other email
that I sent yesterday about my mom.<\/p>\n
Let me sum up yesterday’s email.<\/p>\n
Basically I said that my mom sent me
an email saying she was feeling signs
of a manic episode coming on. As a result
she immediately called her therapist and
doctor and let them know.<\/p>\n
I told you how in the hold days, this would
never happen. Her manic signs would eventually
get worse and worse and worse. Eventually she
would go into a full scale manic episode.<\/p>\n
Then I told you how my mom emailed me back
and told me that her doctor changed her
bipolar medication.<\/p>\n
After that, I was flooded with emails from
people that said how excited they were that<\/p>\n
a) my mom is handling her bipolar disorder
herself.<\/p>\n
b) that my system\/courses really work.<\/p>\n
A person even posted:<\/p>\n
“Karen said…
Hi Dave,
You did it, your systems are so complete, you
really do have strategies for all the bipo brings.
I think I have been here like 6 months now and
one time it tricked you- I remember you were
kinda upset- it was a time for a tune up but you
were upset that it snuck up on your mom and you
did not catch it. <\/p>\n
When you figured out what was trying to happen
it seemed that bipo insulted you for even tryen.
Your system is that damn good. I was so relieved
when I first received the books I could tell just
by flippen through them that I would be able to
take control, educate myself through your hard work
and the bipo cling on that wanted your mom and
through your wars you did effectively learn how
to kick its ass. <\/p>\n
You are one of a kind, I would be most likely in
jail now, by the time they told me, iwas a extreemly
dangerous pissed-off bipo. Karen was gone, I
disasosiated and watched from above, I was
premeditating, playen with guns, had a mark,
target, someone the bipo was stalking, waiting
for the perfect time. <\/p>\n
The bipo refused to take meds. I think you emailed
me not sure for how many days- take the meds,
you were like a broken record, finally I did had
an allergic reaction thought i was going to
die but for the first time in my life my brain
started to quite down, wierd, I knew then I
was sick.
Thank you Dave, Karen”<\/p>\n
================<\/p>\n
Karen’s post on my blog below brings
up several important points.<\/p>\n
1. Sometime ago, my mom was stable and
then went unstable and bipolar did get
the best of us. <\/p>\n
Here’s is how I stopped that. After
EVERY episode, I did what I call a
PEA. What the heck is a PEA? I call
it a Post episode analysis. I told
my mom these were required and not optional.
She can either work with me or I do
them myself.<\/p>\n
I simply sit down with her bipolar
stability equation variables and look
to see which ones were “violated”
or “weak.”<\/p>\n
Then I can figure out what potentially
led to the episode. I also look to figure
out what systems broke down or which
ones didn’t exist.<\/p>\n
2. Overtime I figured out how to improve
incrementally. Then I took this information
and rebuilt it back into my main courses\/
systems below:<\/p>\n

Or in some cases, I built them into a
separate course. <\/p>\n
Anyway, I wanted to say something else.<\/p>\n
Many people were excited that my mom picked
up the phone and called her therapist and
doctor. The fact the therapist and doctor
acted fast and changed my mom’s treatment
plan.<\/p>\n
People were excited. Amazed like me. <\/p>\n
Want to know the one thing that I have
learned about this situation? Let me
ask you a question. What could go
wrong?<\/p>\n
I want you to think long and hard. This is
a test. Don’t worry I can’t grade you and
send a report card home to you.<\/p>\n
Anyway, what’s the one thing that I MUST
watch out for now? What’s the danger?<\/p>\n
Think about it and then scroll down…<\/p>\n
NO CHEATING. Think then scroll…<\/p>\n
Did you think of something? Scroll down….<\/p>\n
My mom’s medication and treatment was changed. SO,
even though it was from her doctor and therapist.
It\u2019s possible that this change could, and I repeat
could make things worse. It’s not probable but
it’s possible. <\/p>\n
Also, my mom could have a new side effect. My mom
AND dad (I already called and quizzed him, he hates
when I do that especially when I email the results
out to all you guys) are prepared for problems
in this area. My mom is going to report any additional
problems right away in her worksheet that we
have (same on in the bipolar success course above)
and my dad is on standby to monitor any signs
or symptoms or side effects. <\/p>\n
He has instructions what to do in the worst
case scenario.<\/p>\n
I am out of the picture and only would step
in under an extreme circumstance. In my mom
own mind I run “the worst case scenario.”
Which would be, my mom gets way worse goes
into a totally out of control manic episode
and bipolar just overwhelms my dad. This is
not probable but is possible. <\/p>\n
I have a plan if it happens. I am 100%
convinced that I could easily handle the situation
if it did get this bad. I doubt it will but
I have a plan.<\/p>\n
Hey, I have to run. Catch you tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Your Friend,<\/p>\n
