Hi,<\/p>\n

How’s it going?<\/p>\n

Hope you are doing well.<\/p>\n

I wanted to tell you what happen
to me on Thursday and it’s a very
important bipolar disorder lesson.<\/p>\n

Here’s what happen. It snowed on Thursday.
You may have heard about the “big snowstorm”
in the Northeastern part of the USA.<\/p>\n

So everyone was all freaked out about it.
It was a lot less snow than they said
it was going to be.<\/p>\n

So at around 5:00pm, I was done working
and decided to head over to the gym.<\/p>\n

I went there and couldn’t believe there
was no one in the parking lot. I knew
exactly what had happen–the gym was closed
early. <\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t believe it. I was so annoyed.
So then I thought “what am I going to
do?” I decided to drive over to my
one office and pick up some stuff. It’s
also by where my parents live. So I decided
to head over there.<\/p>\n

I was driving along and one of those “New Jersey
mean drivers” (which New Jersey is filled with),
was driving right behind me. I let him pass
and when he did, he honked his horn at me.<\/p>\n

I was driving 35 miles per hour in a 35 mile
per hour zone with snow on the road?<\/p>\n

So I went to the office, and picked up some stuff.<\/p>\n

Then I decided to stop by the store and pick
my mom up a surprise (my dad was away on a trip
so he wasn’t going to get a surprise). I got
over to my parents and noticed that my mom
had a little bit of the drive way shoveled.<\/p>\n

So I figured I would be a good son so to speak
and shovel the rest. So I went into the
garage and looked for the “good shovel.”<\/p>\n

The good shovel seemed to have vanished
and there was another one. I was skeptical
about how good it would be.<\/p>\n

IMPORTANT BIPOLAR LESSON COMING<\/p>\n

Here is where my nightmare started.<\/p>\n

So I started using the shovel. It
was horrible. This being kind.<\/p>\n

It was super flimsy. It was junk.
I was getting really mad. Then I fell
down trying to push the snow. The
thing was terrible. I had sneakers
on. <\/p>\n

I had a bad shovel and I was slipping
and sliding all over the place. This
little kid saw me and laughed and asked
if I was dancing. I said, “NO, how
about you help me.” He said, ‘I
am going to play with my Xbox.”<\/p>\n

I slid all over the place.
I noticed that people were looking at
me as the drove by like, I was some kind
of “side show.”<\/p>\n

Then people were driving by and beeping
at me and saying, “hey, how’s it going,
having fun?”<\/p>\n

I was like in my head, “yea, I am having
a blast.”<\/p>\n

So I wound up spending a really long time
doing a job that should have taken 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

WHY?<\/p>\n

Because the shovel was horrible. I was
so mad at the darn shovel I decided
it would be punished when I was done.
It was going to be put into the garbage.<\/p>\n

I was wondering while I was shoveling
should I try to go find another one really
fast. But I figured that would take longer.<\/p>\n

Eventually my mom came out side. I wanted
to surprise her but since it was taking me
so darn long and it was so noisy, she eventually
heard me.<\/p>\n

I was like “mom, what the heck kind of shovel
did you buy?” She was like, “one that was
on sale.”<\/p>\n

I was like “why didn’t you get the good kind?”
She said, “that cost a lot more.”<\/p>\n

I said, “do you want the shovel to work right?”
She thought about it and said, “well I guess
you are right, I guess that’s why it was so
hard for me to shovel the driveway.”<\/p>\n

I said, “You think :)?”<\/p>\n

I was finally done. Then I said to
the people watching and laughing that
it was time to pay up for my show.
They laughed at me some more. One
person asked if I would shovel their
driveway as well. I was like, “no
thanks!”<\/p>\n

Then I was thinking about something
with bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

how people shop for doctors and
the important bipolar disorder lesson.<\/p>\n

You know what the first question from
the average person is?
Guess and then scroll down…<\/p>\n

No cheating!!! Guess then scroll down…<\/p>\n

“How much do you charge?” If someone say a lot,
many people say, “oh that’s too much.” You know
what the first questions should be:<\/p>\n

-Do you know bipolar disorder well?
-How much experience with bipolar disorder do you have?
-What your philosophy of medication?
-What kind of success have you seen?
-Are you accessible for emergencies if so, how?
-Have you ever been sued for your services?
-How long are your visits with patients?<\/p>\n

In my systems\/courses below:<\/p>\n

I talk about how to shop for a doctor. I have a
system where you can sort through hundreds
of doctors or therapists and have them
contact you full qualified. Then you just
ask the questions I have listed (like
the ones above and more). I also go
a step further and have the doctor
sign a document with their answers.<\/p>\n

It sounds crazy, or impossible but it
works. This is how I found
my mom’s doctor. I NEVER worried
about price first. <\/p>\n

You worry about if the person can
do the job and then price.<\/p>\n

Just like the shovel. The shovel
my mom bought was a great price but
it was horrible. It didn’t do the job.
Overtime the shovel will wind up erasing
any savings because it takes so darn long
to use the piece of junk.<\/p>\n

When it comes to doctors, ones that
are direct cheap usually are terrible,
flooded with patients and unable to
deliver great service and they themselves
don’t usually stay in one practice long.<\/p>\n

Ever have this happen where you just think
of price.<\/p>\n

You really do get what you pay for.
I saw these towels in the store a month ago.
It was like $6.99 for a million (okay
maybe not that many, like 30). <\/p>\n

I swear that they fell apart in my car
on the way from the store \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I told my Grandmother and she laughed
and said, “You get what you pay for.”<\/p>\n

Well I have to run. Catch you tomorrow.<\/p>\n
