=>PLEASE FORWARD TO FRIENDS, FAMILY AND LOVED ONES <=\n\n
Hi, <\/p>\n

How’s it going?<\/p>\n

Hope you are doing well. <\/p>\n

I am so annoyed, I have a leak in my bathroom.
It’s the craziest thing. It started out as a drip
and now it’s a steady stream of water.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I have to go quick today and
get it fixed.<\/p>\n

Also, two people asked some really
good questions yesterday on my blog.<\/p>\n

Graham N said… <\/p>\n

“David,
I am curious.
You often mention your great staff and how most
of them are Bipolar or have some other mental
illness. I presume they all have episodes at
some time or other, hopefully not all at the
same time! (Or do they? Does the episode of
one trigger similar in another?) <\/p>\n

How do you manage this kind of situation?
How often does it happen?”<\/p>\n

Marina said…
“Like Graham, I am also interested in how your
staff might feed off of each other when having
episodes as that happens within our family
with different bipolar people.<\/p>\n

Also, I read your postings for supporters
everyday and notice that you appear to have a
tremendous amount of energy and a variety of
activities that you are personally involved in.
Do you have a wife and children — a family of
your own? Anyone other than your mother with
bipolar? <\/p>\n

And, doesn’t your very active life
have an effect on any of your bipolar staff\/family?
It has been my experience with both of the individuals
who have bipolar in my family that any type of
over-activity can stimulate an episode in them.
Please address this for your readers. Thanks.”<\/p>\n

I will be addressesing these questions in a featured
article that I will post really soon.<\/p>\n

Okay, here’s today’s headline:<\/p>\n

THE BIPOLAR DISORDER “CHIP” REVEALED!<\/p>\n

You know the old saying about a “chip
on your shoulder” and about someone
having one?<\/p>\n

Well, first let’s talk about what it means
before we talk about someone having one
or not, ok?<\/p>\n

So what do we mean when we say that
someone has a chip on their shoulder?
We mean that they have something
bothering them that never goes away.<\/p>\n

This can even lead to a bad attitude,
that other people can see, if they’re
not careful.<\/p>\n

The point is that it’s something that
they carry around with them. Some-
thing that they still haven’t worked
out. A burden, you could say.<\/p>\n

Like a trigger to a bipolar episode,
that lays beneath the surface until
it’s aggravated, and then it goes off.
That’s the bipolar chip!<\/p>\n

See, there are some people who have
bipolar disorder that walk around with
a bipolar chip on their shoulder. Who
have let the disorder become a burden
to them.<\/p>\n

Who may even walk around with a
bad attitude, or a victim mentality
because of the bipolar chip on
their shoulder.<\/p>\n

But you see, you don’t HAVE
to walk around with a chip on
your shoulder, especially a bipolar
chip!<\/p>\n

If you have bipolar disorder, and you
have read my courses, you know that
you should have a support system,
and a good support system is there to
help you, to keep that bipolar chip OFF
your shoulder!<\/p>\n

SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?
Visit:
http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11<\/a><\/p>\n

SUPPORTING A CHILD\/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?
Visit:
http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com<\/a><\/p>\n

HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?
Visit:
http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net<\/a><\/p>\n

Having someone help you, like a good
supporter, will help to make your burdens
lighter, and will help keep you from
having a bipolar chip on your shoulder.<\/p>\n

Then your burden is lighter, and you
can concentrate on the things you
should be concerned about \u2013 like
managing your disorder!<\/p>\n

Someone with bipolar disorder who
does NOT have the bipolar chip on their
shoulder is one of those who it’s harder
to tell that they even have the disorder.<\/p>\n

Your friend,<\/p>\n
