I am coming out<br \/>with a new F.REE podcast called:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How Oil Affects Bipolar Disorder.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>During this one of a kind podcast,<br \/>I will talk about the impact of oil<br \/>and bipolar disorder and what you should<br \/>and shouldn&#8217;t be doing (in my opinion<br \/>of course). <\/p>\n<p>I think you&#8217;ll really like it. <\/p>\n<p>If you are reading this and thinking,<br \/>&#8220;What does the heck does oil have to do<br \/>with bipolar disorder?&#8221; Don&#8217;t worry,<br \/>I will explain it all on the podcast.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s a podcast? It&#8217;s like a<br \/>cd on the internet. You&#8217;ll have a link<br \/>and you just click on it and it will<br \/>play.<\/p>\n<p>Oh yea, I have some more f.ree podcasts<br \/>coming out as well, I will keep you<br \/>posted.<\/p>\n<p>I like doing these podcasts. I didn&#8217;t like<br \/>doing them when I didn&#8217;t know how to use<br \/>the recording stuff. But then I found<br \/>someone with Bipolar who set it all up<br \/>for me and made it super simple for me<br \/>to use.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s really cool that I have some many<br \/>people with bipolar who are super smart<br \/>to figure stuff out for me \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Okay, let&#8217;s jump to today&#8217;s topic.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s really important.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I had to call this guy <br \/>about a situation with his order. <br \/>It was missing. <\/p>\n<p>He basically told me that I was a crook<br \/>and ripping people off and on and on<br \/>and on and on and on. Then he said<br \/>I didn&#8217;t care about anyone but <br \/>myself and that my emails were<br \/>worthless.<\/p>\n<p>He didn&#8217;t even give me time to <br \/>check all the shipping logs and tracking<br \/>to see what happen to his order. Sometimes<br \/>the shipping people lose stuff and if<br \/>they do, we simply send another one.<\/p>\n<p>I was really nice to him. It was like<br \/>10:00pm ET. He yelled and screamed and<br \/>yelled and screamed<\/p>\n<p>It was so annoying. I actually was<br \/>so annoyed that I only slept a little.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s kind of amazing never in my life have<br \/>I gotten:<\/p>\n<p>-multiple death threats<br \/>-people screaming at me<br \/>-people calling me a crook<br \/>-people saying this and that<\/p>\n<p>As a side note, years ago, I had<br \/>a friend that had a website selling<br \/>marketing information. Someone<br \/>threaten to kill him if he didn&#8217;t take<br \/>it down. This person said that the<br \/>website was adversely affecting him.<\/p>\n<p>It was really strange. It made no sense.<br \/>There was nothing on the site that could<br \/>adversely affect him. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway the guy demanded over and over<br \/>again. Over many months. He said that<br \/>he would be outside his house and attack<br \/>him and his family. My friend got <br \/>really scared and had a stroke. <\/p>\n<p>He eventually took the site down. Later<br \/>that person that threatened him was found<br \/>to have schizophrenia and had gotten<br \/>off his medication. He had done a whole<br \/>lot of bad things. <\/p>\n<p>My friend never recovered and vanished.<br \/>He moved to an undisclosed location.<br \/>He was so frightened by the experience<br \/>he just never spoke to anyone again. I haven&#8217;t<br \/>spoken to him in years. He was a really<br \/>nice person.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, if I look back, I have been attacked by<br \/>way more bipolar supporters than bipolar<br \/>survivors. It&#8217;s amazing to me sometimes.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway I tried to reason with this guy and<br \/>he was totally not reasonable.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes I wonder what the heck<br \/>goes through bipolar supporters mind<br \/>that attack me and are super angry<br \/>all the time.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, let&#8217;s get to today&#8217;s topic.<\/p>\n<p>I have noticed that there is a group<br \/>of bipolar supporters out there that<br \/>are what I call, &#8220;The angry supporter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This person is someone who is super<br \/>mad that his\/her loved one has<br \/>bipolar disorder. The major coping<br \/>mechanism is to be angry and attack<br \/>anyone other than their loved one<br \/>with bipolar disorder. <\/p>\n<p>These bipolar supporters are super<br \/>mean. They are the people who attack<br \/>me. The people who walk around and<br \/>flip out on people and people actually<br \/>think they have something wrong with <br \/>them.<\/p>\n<p>You have to be really careful that if<br \/>you are a bipolar supporter, you don&#8217;t<br \/>let your loved one&#8217;s lack of progress<br \/>or your loved one&#8217;s struggle make you<br \/>a super angry person.<\/p>\n<p>I know several people like this locally.<br \/>When these people come into a support<br \/>group, people run and hide from them. Why?<br \/>Because they are always so angry.<\/p>\n<p>There are people where I volunteer<br \/>that I dread dealing with. They are<br \/>always so mad and so down.<\/p>\n<p>Now I already know people are going<br \/>to write me and say &#8220;Dave not<br \/>everyone is so happy as you with<br \/>their loved one so don&#8217;t criticize<br \/>those that are struggling to <br \/>support someone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I realize this for sure. BUT, no<br \/>matter what, just because you<br \/>are struggling, doesn&#8217;t give you<br \/>the ticket to be really angry.<\/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 detail the ins and out of supporting an<br \/>adult with bipolar, a child or managing<br \/>the disorder yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, if you are a bipolar<br \/>supporter, I want you to think long<br \/>and hard about the following:<\/p>\n<p>How has bipolar changed you?<\/p>\n<p>Are you angry all the time?<\/p>\n<p>Do you laugh\/smile less?<\/p>\n<p>Do you think that you are negative<br \/>too much?<\/p>\n<p>Do you feel that friends and family<br \/>members avoid you because you are <br \/>always down and\/or talking about how<br \/>bad things are with your love done?<\/p>\n<p>Think about this.<\/p>\n<p>You have the power to make things better,<br \/>no matter what your situation is out there.<\/p>\n<p>You might not be able to make things<br \/>perfect but you can make them better.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE-If you have been an angry bipolar<br \/>supporter, go back to those that you have<br \/>been mean to and say you are sorry.
