=>PLEASE FORWARD TO FRIENDS, FAMILY AND LOVED ONES <=\n\n\n\nHi,\n\n
How’s it going?<\/p>\n
I wanted to write you a quick
email about something that happen
to me the other day.<\/p>\n
Well, if you remember about 6 weeks
ago or so, I was telling you how
I was trying to gain 6 pounds.<\/p>\n
No matter what I did, I couldn’t
gain six pounds–I was even eating
a TON (of healthy stuff of course).<\/p>\n
Anyway, since I body build NON competitively–
that is, I don’t go in competitions only do
it as a hobby, I needed to gain weight.<\/p>\n
I weigh myself about 45 times a year, Saturday
Morning at about 10:30am EST on the same regulated
and certified scale. You probably are
wondering why it’s such a specific day and time.
Well it’s to keep it consistent.<\/p>\n
Anyway, each Saturday I would get
on the scale only to find that I either lost
a little weight or didn’t gain even a pound.<\/p>\n
Finally I figured out the problem after about
6 weeks. I needed to eat about 71 extra grams
of low glycemic carbs. <\/p>\n
When you body build either competitively
or non competitively, power lift, enter in strong
man competitions etc.: <\/p>\n
-It takes time to learn what you have to eat
-It takes time to learn how to train
-It takes time to figure out how to reach
your goals.<\/p>\n
These are 3 key truths.<\/p>\n
What does this have to do with bipolar disorder?
There’s a super important lesson that does.<\/p>\n
I got an email from a bipolar supporter
that said:<\/p>\n
“David, <\/p>\n
I need your help. My wife is not stable. I can’t
take it anymore. She screams and screams. She
is totally out of control. It’s been a couple of
months and it’s not getting better. I don’t trust
these doctors. They don’t care at all. What should
we do. It’s been so long. The doctors are no
help.”
-Stan<\/p>\n
Then I got to thinking about Stan. Here’s the
deal that I have seen with bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n
First, let me note that I am NOT a doctor,
lawyer, insurance agent and I am NOT offering
medical or legal advice.<\/p>\n
Okay with that said, there are some keys
to stability that I have observed.<\/p>\n
Key Truth #1:<\/p>\n
-You need a good to great doctor.
Most people don’t shop for a doctor. Don’t
put a lot of effort into finding one. Don’t
even realize there are choices and options.<\/p>\n
Key Truth #2:<\/p>\n
-It takes time for even a good to great
doctor to figure out the correct combination
of medication or medications.
In today’s day and age, people want instant
answers, results and success. I have found
that this doesn’t happen with bipolar disorder
generally. Finding the right medication, according
to doctors, is an art not a science.<\/p>\n
Key Truth #3:<\/p>\n
-You have to work with the doctor and not
against him\/her.
There’s no questions there are a bunch of
bad doctors out there. However I find in most
cases people think it’s the doctor, it’s really
the family is not working with the doctor–most
of the time, it’s the bipolar supporters that
aren’t working with the doctor, giving him\/her
all the information they need. Also, the bipolar
supporter must take the lead and not let the patient
be in charge especially when he\/she is not stable.<\/p>\n
Key Truth #4:<\/p>\n
-You have to have a positive attitude if
you are a bipolar supporter and not turn negative.
I have found many bipolar supporters who have
such difficult they become super negative and that
negatively winds up spilling over to their loved one
and ultimately it worsens the situation.<\/p>\n
In my courses\/systems below:<\/p>\n
SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER? SUPPORTING A CHILD\/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER? HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER? I talk about other key truths. There are some that I think Stan doesn’t realize the above 4 key Ask yourself today, how many of these key truths Let me know your thoughts.
