=>PLEASE FORWARD TO FRIENDS, FAMILY AND LOVED ONES <=\n\nHi, \n\nHope you’re doing ok.\n\nToday I want to talk about something
we don’t usually think about, and that’s
the GOOD that can come out of a bipolar
episode.<\/p>\n

I know, you’re probably sitting there
right now thinking, \u201cDave’s really lost
his mind this time!\u201d But really, it’s
true! There are some good things
that can come out of a bipolar episode.<\/p>\n

You just have to look at it objectively,
which I know, I know, it is really hard
to do, but try it with me.<\/p>\n

Ok, let’s think about this as if you
were someone else looking in on your
situation. They might see two people,
one of which is really sick. And they
would see one of those people (the
supporter) trying to help the other
person. Well, that’s an admirable
thing, isn’t it? A positive thing?<\/p>\n

Ok, see where I’m headed with this
thing? So, let’s try to think of a few
more examples.<\/p>\n

A bipolar episode is a very heavy
thing, and can sometimes go on for
some time. So, by having to \u201clive
it,\u201d it can bring people together closer
together, just by having to \u201cfight it
out\u201d together, by having to depend on
each other.<\/p>\n

A bipolar episode can also \u201cweed
out\u201d bad friends \u2013 it’s a time when
you really find out who your real
friends are, isn’t it? You find out
who you can really depend on, instead
of just \u201cfair-weather\u201d friends who say
they’ll be there for you, but aren’t
there when it comes down to it.<\/p>\n

In my courses and systems, I talk
about how one good thing about a
bipolar episode is how it can force you
to get more serious about your
treatment, so that’s another good thing:<\/p>\n

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

Another good thing about a bipolar
episode is that it can show you where
your treatment is failing you \u2013 it can
help you see where maybe your
medication needs to be adjusted, and
maybe you weren’t seeing that before.<\/p>\n

Mostly, what I’m trying to get you to
see is that you can either have a
negative view or a positive view toward
the bipolar episode. Having a positive
view, you can make the episode work
FOR you, by examining it, and trying to
look for the good points to it.<\/p>\n

Face it, the episode may happen no
matter what you do to try to stop it.
You may as well put a positive spin to
it. This is one way you can master the
disorder instead of it mastering you,
which is another thing I teach in my
courses.<\/p>\n

Do you think I am out of my mind?<\/p>\n
