Well last night I almost got<br \/>into a huge car accident late last<br \/>night.<\/p>\n<p>I have an important lesson about<br \/>bipolar disorder to tell you about<br \/>in reference to what happen to me.<\/p>\n<p>If you will remember, yesterday,<br \/>I sent you a daily email and indicated<br \/>that it was snowing. <\/p>\n<p>Well it stopped last night. I was<br \/>over my friend&#8217;s house but it started<br \/>kind of again and then stopped.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t really understand what happen<br \/>but basically the roads were super wet<br \/>and then they started to freeze. <\/p>\n<p>I think the people that put salt (which<br \/>is used to break up the ice), on the<br \/>road got a late start.<\/p>\n<p>As I was driving home, I saw horror.<\/p>\n<p>There was one guy that drove down into<br \/>someone&#8217;s front yard about 30 feet. His<br \/>car was turned over.<\/p>\n<p>Then on the highway, when I looked at<br \/>the other side of traffic, there was<br \/>accident after accident. People were<br \/>smashed through guard rails. <\/p>\n<p>I was really confused because you could<br \/>NOT see anything on the road.<\/p>\n<p>BIPOLAR LESSON COMING HANG ON<\/p>\n<p>I think the people on my side of the<br \/>highway were thinking what I was thinking<br \/>which was, &#8220;Why is everyone crashing, what&#8217;s<br \/>going on, I better go slower.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But then stupid people started driving really<br \/>fast behind me almost forcing you to go<br \/>faster. I was starting to get nervous.<\/p>\n<p>Then, I started see big accidents on the road. I<br \/>saw a car and truck had a head on collision<br \/>some how.<\/p>\n<p>Then I saw a bunch of cars that were all<br \/>stopped because they were in a massive<br \/>accident.<\/p>\n<p>Then I was driving over a bridge and I started<br \/>to swerve.<\/p>\n<p>Then it happen.<\/p>\n<p>I was driving along and bang.<\/p>\n<p>The back of my car started to go in front<br \/>of my car. It&#8217;s hard to explain but basically<br \/>my back, was going forward and I was pointed<br \/>backwards.<\/p>\n<p>Then I turned the wheel and then the back started<br \/>to go back to the back but I went from the far right<br \/>lane into the far left lane and then to the middle.<\/p>\n<p>I had no control of the car really. Then there<br \/>were cars in front of me that I could see<br \/>were doing the same. We all must have hit<br \/>some kind of black ice. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s really odd, I thought for sure I would<br \/>get into a huge accident. This is<br \/>seriously what I was thinking: <\/p>\n<p>I wonder what will happen if I don&#8217;t send<br \/>my bipolar daily email?<\/p>\n<p>I hope Andrea and Pascale can handle everything<br \/>if I get into a major accident and I am in the<br \/>hospital.<\/p>\n<p>I wonder if I have all the right paper work in<br \/>place for them<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh, Darn, I forgot to sign that one form for<br \/>them if something happens to me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I know that might sound weird but basically<br \/>all my other companies can run without me<br \/>except this one because it&#8217;s newer and grows<br \/>really fast.<\/p>\n<p>I have been working hard to make this happen<br \/>but kind of putting off some stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Well anyway, after almost going off into a<br \/>guard rail which was over a cliff off of<br \/>Route 80 Eastbound, I finally was able<br \/>to stabilize the car.<\/p>\n<p>I thought about pulling over and sleeping<br \/>on the side of the road but I heard rumors<br \/>how people get murdered when that happens.<\/p>\n<p>So then I just got in the far left lane and<br \/>drove super slow, slow enough that if I crashed<br \/>I hopefully wouldn&#8217;t get killed.<\/p>\n<p>It was really scary.<\/p>\n<p>So I came home and immediately emailed <br \/>this consultant that helps with what&#8217;s called<br \/>business transition and business succession.<\/p>\n<p>He helps people get a business together so<br \/>if the owner is hurt or dies. I emailed him<br \/>this story and said that I want to get<br \/>his consulting immediately \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I have been putting it off because well <br \/>I just have been. But it&#8217;s important.<\/p>\n<p>What the heck does this have to do with<br \/>bipolar disorder?<\/p>\n<p>Well, with bipolar you have to plan for<br \/>the worst and hope for the best.<\/p>\n<p>If you have bipolar disorder<\/p>\n<p>Who will pay my bills if I go into an episode<\/p>\n<p>Where is a list of my bills and c.redit cards<br \/>(with my mom, it took days to figure all this<br \/>out working 15 hours a day)<\/p>\n<p>If I have bipolar disorder and run a business,<br \/>who will take over, how will it be done if I go<br \/>into an episode. Do you know how many people<br \/>that I know that have bipolar disorder, had a<br \/>big great business and lost it from an episode?<br \/>A ton. I don&#8217;t have any info but you should<br \/>start researching if this is you.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a bipolar supporter<\/p>\n<p>If you loved one is in your business or<br \/>has to make decisions for you, what&#8217;s<br \/>your plan if he\/she goes into an episode?<br \/>You need one.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE<br \/>The person with bipolar should have a release<br \/>signed for the supporter to talk to the therapist,<br \/>doctor, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Also, if you have bipolar disorder, and this is<br \/>going to amaze you, you should have a release<br \/>so your therapist AND bipolar doctor can talk<br \/>to your non bipolar doctors (your primary care<br \/>physician for example)<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a lot of stuff to think about. It&#8217;s <br \/>rather negative but it has to be done.<\/p>\n<p>In my courses\/systems below:<\/p>\n<p>SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>Visit:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11\">http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11<\/a><\/p>\n<p>SUPPORTING A CHILD\/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>Visit:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com\">http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>Visit:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net\">http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I cover a ton of the forms you have to have<br \/>filled out and signed so that it&#8217;s easy in<br \/>case a bipolar episode strikes. <\/p>\n<p>I know many people with my courses\/systems<br \/>skip this part. They tell me, &#8220;oh yea, I will<br \/>get to that later on.&#8221; A year goes by and<br \/>they never do. I URGE you to do it right away.<\/p>\n<p>One major bipolar episode, like one major<br \/>car accident, can destroy a whole lot of stuff<br \/>that took years to develop. Don&#8217;t let it happen<br \/>to you.<\/p>\n<p>I am immediately going to be working on this<br \/>based on what almost happen to me last night.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, I have to run, catch you later.<\/p>\n<p>Your Friend,<\/p>\n<p>Dave<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
