Hi, <\/p>\n
What’s new?<\/p>\n
I hope you are doing really well
today.<\/p>\n
You know, most of the time I get
emails that make me think I\u2019m doing
a lot of good out there, that a lot of people
are reading my emails and are learning from
them and are feeling positive towards me and
towards the emails.<\/p>\n
But I\u2019ve got to tell you, I got this one email
this week that made me wonder about all of
that. Not as bad as wanting to shut down the
whole thing like I did that one time, but at
first, yeah, I did kind of feel down that bad,
thinking what am I doing, I\u2019m not really
helping anyone, etc.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the email, so you can see for yourself
why I would feel that way:<\/p>\n
“I have become more informed about the
disease. It has also succeeded in
making me more frightened about taking
on a significant other with bi-polar
disorder. In your e-mails I do not gain alot
“of positives” and after researching your site,
I’ve become very upset and leery about continuing my
relationship.” — Andrea<\/p>\n
——————————————–<\/p>\n
I felt so bad after reading that email! I mean,
I don\u2019t want to be responsible for her being
more afraid about taking on a significant other
with bipolar disorder, or becoming very upset
and leery about continuing her relationship.<\/p>\n
She also says that in my emails she doesn\u2019t
gain a lot of positives, even after researching
my site. Now, this really bothers me, because
I always try to be uplifting and positive.<\/p>\n
So I wracked my brain to try to think of
what she was talking about, or how she
could have gotten this impression.<\/p>\n
The only thing I could think of is that
some of the things I talk about, yeah,
they can seem like they\u2019re negative
things, but that\u2019s only because I want
you to know the TRUTH, and sometimes
the truth, when you\u2019re talking about
bipolar disorder, can seem negative.<\/p>\n
But instead of thinking about it being
negative, like when I present them in
my courses, I present these issues as
being realistic, NOT negative:<\/p>\n
SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER? SUPPORTING A CHILD\/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER? HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER? This isn\u2019t just in my courses and I have a friend that looks at it this That\u2019s what I\u2019m talking about. I\u2019m I don\u2019t begin to think I can help this I would also remind her that every So, in my defense, and I hope you Now, sometimes on the website, like The one thing I am is HONEST. Tell me, please, am I completely Just one last point that I would say I\u2019d really like to know what you think Your Friend,<\/p>\n Dave<\/p>\n ===>> Great Resources For You <===\n\nGet Your Own Subscription To This Newsletter Get More Help On Bipolar Disorder View Past Daily Bipolar Emails For F.REE Get Audio Information On Bipolar Disorder For F.REE =PLEASE FORWARD TO FRIENDS, FAMILY AND LOVED ONES Great Resources For You <\/p>\n

systems, either. It\u2019s in my emails,
as you know. Like when I talked
about the Stockdale Paradox,
(I also talked about this in my
courses as well), where you hope
for the best but still be expected for
the worst, like another bipolar
episode.<\/p>\n
way: You know the story about
the glass being half full\/half empty,
right? If you see the glass as half
full, you\u2019re an optimist. If you see
the glass as half empty, you\u2019re an
optimist. Well, my friend says she
doesn\u2019t see the glass as half full OR
half empty \u2013 she just sees a half a
glass of water. She is just a realist.<\/p>\n
not a negative person. Far from it.
But I am a realist. And I try to help
you to be a realist as well.<\/p>\n
woman in the email with her personal
relationship \u2013 I\u2019m not a therapist, a
doctor, psychiatrist, or a marriage
counselor. In fact, if I were to respond
to her at all, I would advise her to go
to one of those professionals.<\/p>\n
case of bipolar disorder is different,
and I could not respond to her single
email and give advice, again, because
each case is different, so I just don\u2019t
do that.<\/p>\n
would back me up on this, I am NOT
a negative person, and I try very hard
not to put negative stuff on my site or
on my emails \u2013 but I do print the truth.<\/p>\n
when I print the news, well, I can\u2019t
help it that that might be negative.
But would you rather I didn\u2019t print
the news?<\/p>\n
And sometimes that might come
across as negative, even though I don\u2019t
mean for it to be. But would you
rather I sugar-coat the truth, or give
it to you honestly?<\/p>\n
wrong on this? Am I misunder-
standing? Is this woman right
and I\u2019m wrong? I\u2019d really like to know.<\/p>\n
to this woman in my own defense.
If I were so negative against bipolar
disorder, would I have hired so many
people who have the disorder to work
for me?<\/p>\n
about this.<\/p>\n
