Hi,<\/p>\n
What’s new?<\/p>\n
I hope you are doing well.<\/p>\n
I have 1 million things to do today.<\/p>\n
Actually there are two people that I was
suppose to call back with urgent situations.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, I finished working at 12:15am
last night.<\/p>\n
I will be calling you today.<\/p>\n
Okay, today I wanted to talk about
something super important.<\/p>\n
If you have read the news, seen
a news website, watched tv news, you’ll
notice that Britney Spears, the singer,
is having a whole lot of problems and now
is in a mental health facility under a
72 hour “watch.” That’s where they
can hold you for 72 hours to see
if you are a harm to yourself or someone
else.<\/p>\n
Anyway, my friend who proudly watches
8 hours of tv a day and only works out
for a living said to me “hey, Britney Spears is in
jail again. Her mom should get your
stuff. I heard she has bipolar disorder.”<\/p>\n
From that conversation I got to thinking
about a number of things about this situation.
First however, I did about 15 minutes of research.<\/p>\n
If you go into google you’ll see that
many say Britney may have bipolar
disorder. Who knows? I sure don’t.<\/p>\n
BUT, we can learn some lessons from
this case.<\/p>\n
First let me say that I am NOT a doctor,
therapist, lawyer, insurance agent, drug
company spokesperson and that I do NOT
offer legal, medical or professional advice.<\/p>\n
With that said, I have some opinions.<\/p>\n
As I look at Britney Spears, it appears
that she has indeed changed, is doing
very strange things.<\/p>\n
The thing that I find fascinating is
that it doesn’t seem like a whole lot
of people are doing anything to help
her. If I had to guess, the people
around her are confused and hoping
that she will just fix herself.<\/p>\n
Based on what I have seen, it doesn’t
seem like her family is really stepping
in. What makes it way worse for them is
that they have lots of money. Why is this
a problem? <\/p>\n
It’s because of TOC. What the heck is
TOC you may be thinking. TOC is
total outsourced care. It’s every
supporters dream but it really never
exists.<\/p>\n
It’s a situation where you simply
hire someone, some place and they do
all the work and everything is fixed
and perfect. <\/p>\n
I can tell you, that there are so many
people on my list that call me looking
for TOC and they will pay anything.<\/p>\n
They call and said, “Where can I send
John to get him fixed. We don’t care
what it costs. I just want him fixed.”<\/p>\n
I tell them about finding a good doctor,
therapist, my system which is in
my courses and systems below:<\/p>\n
SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER? SUPPORTING A CHILD\/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER? HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER? They’re like, “no, no, no, I don’t have I explain that it doesn’t work that Then people start offering all kinds This person I am talking about yelled Time and time again, I see bipolar Be warned if you are looking for this.<\/p>\n The other problem that I see is that You just hear:<\/p>\n she is going crazy But you don’t see people realizing that Much like my dad for years and years My mom would go into a bipolar The important lesson that you can If you are a bipolar survivor:<\/p>\n -You want it well known that if you -You should setup systems to limit the If you are a bipolar supporter, realize:<\/p>\n -If your loved one is in a bipolar episode, Spend all your brainpower and effort trying Realize that you have to stand up to bipolar Too often, a person in an episode is out of “man this is crazy” You may read these statements and say, “hey What should be said is:<\/p>\n “We’re going to get them into treatment.”<\/p>\n “I refuse to be beat by bipolar”<\/p>\n “She will be in treatment. Period.”<\/p>\n “We will win this battle against bipolar”<\/p>\n “We have to focus on treatment.”<\/p>\n This is the kind of things I say to myself Now if you ask my mom, she says she is My dad is totally reactive as oppose to I told my dad once, “dad, bipolar loves Now some will write and say “Dave, you Question: What’s the alternative? Bipolar Look, you have to think such things when you Anyway, today my dad is more proactive, well a little Anyway, hey, I have to run and go to the gym. Catch Your Friend,<\/p>\n Dave<\/p>\n P.S. Don’t forget to take a look through the P.P.S. Check out my F.ree blog with copies of emails P.P.P.S Check out my F.ree podcast. Hear me give Hi,<\/p>\n What’s new?<\/p>\n I hope you are doing well.<\/p>\n I have 1 million things to do today.<\/p>\n Actually there are two people that I was Unfortunately, I finished working at 12:15am I will be calling you today.<\/p>\n Okay, today I wanted to talk about If you have read the news,<\/p>\n

say, “I will pay you.” I say, “I don’t
do that type of thing.”<\/p>\n
of money. One person offered $15,000
for me to “handle it all.” I told
them I thought that would be a poor
use of their money and it wouldn’t work.
I highly recommend they save the money
invest in one of my supporter course
and use the f.ree consultation certificates
for non medical and non legal questions
after they went through it.<\/p>\n
at me and hung up on me.<\/p>\n
supporters simply want to turn the problem
over to someone else. For it to be outsourced
like I outsource my phone calls for orders.
It doesn’t work like this.<\/p>\n
the people around her don’t appear
to be trying to get her into treatment.<\/p>\n
she is out of control
she is this or that.<\/p>\n
if she is ill, mentally, she needs someone
to step in. You just can’t hope that
someone how some way it will all work out.<\/p>\n
and years would hope that my mom
would get better some how almost by
magic. <\/p>\n
episode. My dad would do nothing.
Bipolar loves when a supporter does
nothing.<\/p>\n
take away from this is the following:<\/p>\n
go into an episode, you want people
to step in and get you into treatment.
You should talk this over with your
supporters. The worst thing for you
is your supporters don’t know this,
you go into an episode and you wake up
and you have lost everything and destroyed
your life.<\/p>\n
damage of bipolar episodes Especially
when it comes to finances. Remember this,
it takes a lifetime to build wealth but
only a day to lose it. BUT, if you have
lost all your money from a bipolar episode,
don’t worry I have a plan to turn that around.
BUT, just because I have a plan doesn’t mean
you should be lazy and not setup systems
to prevent a problem in the first place.<\/p>\n
he\/she may do or say things they normally
would never ever say. Don’t sit and try
to figure out why they are doing and saying
things. Realize there is NO logical reason.<\/p>\n

you tooth and nail so that you do not get

control and everyone just sits around and
says: <\/p>\n
“they are so crazy”
“I hate when they do this”
“I hate these episodes, I am sick of them”
“I can’t believe this is happening again”
“why did they say this or that”
“I hope they get better soon”
“Geeze this is a mess”
“I can’t deal with this anymore”
“One more time and I am leaving”<\/p>\n
I said that.” Notice none of these statements
are proactive.<\/p>\n
when my mom was in a mini episode after her
first major episode. I was 100% determined
she would get her treatment plan changed
so she was fine again. As a result, she
got it changed.<\/p>\n

her bipolar disorder get way our of control

I explained that it loves him because he
doesn’t do anything and hopes that it
just goes away. It hates me, because I am
proactive and determined. It can’t beat
me.<\/p>\n

bit, still not up to my standards. But better.
My aunt says “sometimes it takes people a little
longer to learn new concepts.” <\/p>\n

you have it or you are supporting someone with it.
