It&#8217;s kind of like in AA.  They say their message is to pass along their experience, strength and hope to other suffering alcoholics.  Well, don&#8217;t you think that should be our message too, only with bipolar?  Especially you, Dave.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You have the greatest bipolar mission of all, what with your website and emails and all.  You can reach a lot more people thn any of us can. And you should take that seriously. God bless you and your work. Anna.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Wow.  That&#8217;s pretty strong.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I guess sometimes I have to be reminded why I do what I do.  I&#8217;ve been doing it so long, you know?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And sometimes I get so caught up in people complaining, and problems at work, it&#8217;s not so easy keeping everything running so smoothly and all&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So yea, I guess sometimes I do forget the bipolar mission, like Anna said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I&#8217;m guilty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But we can&#8217;t ever forget the bipolar mission.  It&#8217;s way too important.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We have to keep spreading the word that you&#8217;re not the only one with bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Or you&#8217;re not the only supporter of a loved one with bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Because sometimes it can feel that way, can&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And sometimes the feelings that you have about it, well, if you feel like you&#8217;re the only one who feels the way you do, if I&#8217;m not here to tell you that it&#8217;s normal to feel that way, you might wonder about that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That is part of the bipolar mission. That&#8217;s one of the reasons why I started my courses and systems:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>\nVisit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11\">http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">SUPPORTING A CHILD\/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>\nVisit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com\">http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>\nVisit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net\">http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net<\/a><br \/>\nSo people would know that they aren&#8217;t alone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Then I started out sending out the daily emails, too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And I get sooooo many responses, and there are over 2000,000 people who have signed up to my mailing list!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So there are a lot of people who are listening.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are a lot of people who need to hear what I&#8217;m telling them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And I try my best to be encouraging, because that&#8217;s the thing I think you need to hear the most.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There&#8217;s enough bad stuff out there.
