Check your email later on<br \/>today for the new information<br \/>on how to have a great and low<br \/>cost Christmas with Bipolar Disorder.<br \/>I&#8217;ll send it out later today.<br \/>Andrea is putting it up today.<\/p>\n<p>2. I wanted to remind everyone<br \/>to mark your calendar to<br \/>see the new weight loss program<br \/>I am putting out for those with<br \/>bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n<p>Mark your calendar the <br \/>December 21, 2007 at 10:00am.<br \/>You should go to <br \/>www.bipolarcentral.com\/weightloss<\/p>\n<p>Remember I am only taking the first<br \/>50 people.<\/p>\n<p>3. Someone wrote me yesterday and<br \/>said:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You must be crazy. How could you<br \/>hire people with bipolar disorder<br \/>and how in the world can your company<br \/>really work right if all the people<br \/>with bipolar disorder are running it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I have gotten a few responses like that.<br \/>First, I find that comment insulting to<br \/>people with bipolar disorder. Secondly,<br \/>I don&#8217;t think some people get it. The<br \/>person who is stable with bipolar disorder<br \/>is capable of doing great things. <\/p>\n<p>I think people get caught up thinking<br \/>that everyone with bipolar disorder is<br \/>not stable. This is NOT the case.<\/p>\n<p>I am actually going to be releasing<br \/>an article next year titled:<\/p>\n<p>Why every company needs more people<br \/>with bipolar disorder to survive<br \/>in the coming future.<\/p>\n<p>I am going to be sending it out to <br \/>all the business publications in the<br \/>us.<\/p>\n<p>Well, let&#8217;s move on. It&#8217;s super cold<br \/>here. Yesterday it snowed, than sleeted,<br \/>then rained and now it&#8217;s all frozen.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a total mess. So I have to hurry<br \/>up so I can get my car ready to go<br \/>pick up some stuff.<\/p>\n<p>On to today&#8217;s bipolar disorder lesson:<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been thinking about something,<br \/>and wanted to share my thoughts<br \/>with you.  It\u2019s about what happens<br \/>when you try to accomplish too <br \/>much too fast.<\/p>\n<p>Think about it.  When you try to<br \/>accomplish too much too fast,<br \/>you are just setting yourself up<br \/>for failure, because you\u2019ll never<br \/>be able to do it.  It also gets very<br \/>discouraging for you.<\/p>\n<p>Also, if you don\u2019t know how long<br \/>something should take, you can <br \/>start to think it\u2019s taking too long.<\/p>\n<p>For example, after an episode.<br \/>It could take up to a year to fully<br \/>\u201cfix\u201d the after effects of an episode.<br \/>Like the financial ruin \u2013 you can\u2019t <br \/>fix a bankruptcy in just two weeks!<\/p>\n<p>But some people think you can <br \/>just do it overnight!  We don\u2019t rush<br \/>the stroke victim or even the cancer<br \/>victim, why do we rush the victim<br \/>of bipolar disorder?<\/p>\n<p>Thinking that they should be over<br \/>an episode after just a week or two<br \/>is just plain unrealistic expectations.<\/p>\n<p>Would we have that same expectation<br \/>if they were getting over a physical<br \/>illness?  Then why are we expecting<br \/>it from a bipolar episode?<\/p>\n<p>In my courses, I interview people<br \/>who are success stories, and<br \/>they talk about how long it took<br \/>them sometimes to fully recover<br \/>from some of their episodes, and<br \/>some of them say it took a whole<br \/>year, and some even longer!  You<br \/>can read about this and hear<br \/>about it in the interviews in my<br \/>courses:<\/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>There are certain things in life<br \/>that take a certain amount of time<br \/>to happen.  It\u2019s just the way it has<br \/>to be.<\/p>\n<p>Think about things in nature.<br \/>Like the butterfly \u2013 it starts off<br \/>as a caterpillar\u2026then it goes into<br \/>a cocoon\u2026 and only after a <br \/>certain period of time does it<br \/>metamorphose into that <br \/>beautiful butterfly!  It just doesn\u2019t<br \/>happen overnight.<\/p>\n<p>And if you interrupt it at any <br \/>point in the chain of events, the<br \/>whole thing would be ruined!<\/p>\n<p>Some things just can\u2019t be rushed.<br \/>Other things just have to take place<br \/>in a certain order.  And still other<br \/>things have to take place at a <br \/>certain time.<\/p>\n<p>Wanting your loved one who has<br \/>bipolar disorder to get over their<br \/>episode overnight is like wanting<br \/>them to be that beautiful butterfly<br \/>without going through the cocoon<br \/>phase!<\/p>\n<p>Some things are just worth waiting<br \/>for.  You just have to be more<br \/>patient sometimes. <\/p>\n<p>Well, I have to run.  See you<br \/>tomorrow!<\/p>\n<p>Your friend,<\/p>\n<p>Dave<br \/>&#8211;<br \/>P.S.
