==>>Help with ALL aspects of bipolar disorder<<==
Check out all my resources, programs and information
for all aspects of bipolar disorder by visiting:

Hi,<\/p>\n

How\u2019s it going?<\/p>\n

Before we get started, I wanted to
tell you something.<\/p>\n

First, for a few people who called
me yesterday for the coaching program,
jobs, projects, etc, I will be getting
back to you today. I had like 100
things to do yesterday.<\/p>\n

I am now doing interviews with media
so I am super busy. Also, I run 3 other
businesses as well. <\/p>\n

NO I don\u2019t have bipolar disorder and
I am NOT in a manic episode. I am
able to do all this because I have
GREAT teams. Which I have taught
in my course\/systems for bipolar
disorder is one key to success.<\/p>\n

HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?

For example, I\u2019ve told you that I
was a little concerned with my mom and her
bipolar disorder because her brother is in
the hospital, it being December (my mom\u2019s
worst bipolar month), and natural December stress.
So far three potential bipolar triggers. BUT
so far it looks good. Everything seems
to be okay. <\/p>\n

BUT my mom actually contact her entire
team and let them know to watch out for
her because of all that is going on. Is that
proactive or what? <\/p>\n

So remember if you have bipolar disorder
and you think there might be a problem,
be proactive. Contact your doctor, therapist,
supporters, etc. Let them know what is going
on. Make sure you have medical waivers in
place. <\/p>\n

If you are a bipolar supporter, when there
are potential bipolar triggers, make sure
you report them and also you are vigilant.<\/p>\n

In the old days, nothing would be done
and I can tell you FOR SURE my mom
would have gone into a bipolar episode.<\/p>\n

As it stands now, I believe it\u2019s IMPOSSIBLE
for my mom to go into a major bipolar episode.<\/p>\n

Why can I say that? Well it\u2019s because she has
a system in place to prevent it. It\u2019s possible
she would go into a minor bipolar
episode. But if I had to bet, I would say no.
But, if she does, we\u2019ll be ready.<\/p>\n

I have brainstormed all possible options
using well you\u2019re going to think I am nerdy
but factorials which is stuff in math.<\/p>\n

I teach how to use factorials to prevent
bipolar episodes in my courses\/systems
below. But, I don\u2019t call it factorials because
you would think I was crazy, nerdy or you
might be afraid because it\u2019s math. So I just
teach you the technique and don\u2019t label it.<\/p>\n

Okay, one last thing before we jump into
today\u2019s topic. I must say, I am a little
annoyed. I have another business and people
are contacting me from this other business
and finding my stuff on bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

They then wind up calling me up and
saying, \u201chey, I saw your site.\u201d I then
say \u201coh.\u201d They say, \u201cI you have a site
on bipolar disorder.\u201d I say, \u201cReally?\u201d
(For some reason I get annoyed at these
points)<\/p>\n

Then they say, \u201cI didn\u2019t know your mom
had bipolar disorder.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then I get really annoyed. It\u2019s just stupid
to call someone and say something like
that.<\/p>\n

Anyway this woman called me and said
and I quote, \u201cHi, David. I saw your bipolar
site. Wow, I didn\u2019t know you had that.
I didn\u2019t know your mother has bipolar disorder.
She is so, umm, so, well, normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t that offensive? It\u2019s annoying too, don’t
you think? Well you know how I replied?
I know it\u2019s bad, sorry.<\/p>\n

I said, \u201cWow, I didn\u2019t know that YOUR mom
had bipolar disorder?\u201d<\/p>\n

The woman was shocked and confused. She
said, \u201cUmm. My mom doesn\u2019t have bipolar
disorder.\u201d <\/p>\n

I said, “oh yea she does.” <\/p>\n

She was totally confused wondering if I knew
something that she didn’t know.<\/p>\n

I said, \u201coh you didn\u2019t know??? But
don\u2019t worry she is so normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

The woman was totally confused. So then
I let her off the hook and told her how
dumb she was to make a stupid comment saying
my mom was \u201cso normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said sorry and said she didn’t mean
to say anything offensive.<\/p>\n

I know that was bad but it was funny \ud83d\ude42
I am laughing as I write this. <\/p>\n

My mom said it was no big deal but it makes
me mad\/annoyed.<\/p>\n

You know, I have 8 or 9 people working for
me who have bipolar disorder. They are GREAT!
You know I always brag about how good they
are. Anyway, I had a friend of mine who has
a business. He started it like around 3 years
ago. When I started my bipolar stuff. He
couldn’t believe how far we have come so fast.<\/p>\n

He then said, “man, are you sure the people
that work for you really have bipolar disorder?”<\/p>\n

I was totally confused. I was like, “huh, what
do you mean?” He said, “well you guys just get
so much done so fast it’s just weird that most
of the people have bipolar disorder.”<\/p>\n

Then I got it. I cut him off and yelled at him
and said, that people with bipolar disorder
do great things. Then I lectured him about
all the artists, inventors, business people,
leaders, etc.<\/p>\n

He felt dumb and said sorry that he just didn’t
know. Today, he actually wants to hire people
with bipolar disorder because he has concluded
that people with bipolar disorder get more
done than people who don’t (which is true
many times :). Plus he says
my people are way more creative (which is
true \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I get really annoyed when people insult
people who have bipolar disorder. I guess
because I feel they are indirectly insulting
lots of my friends, workers and own mom.<\/p>\n

What do you think of all of this?<\/p>\n

Post a response. Also, I have to take off.
Catch you tomorrow. Bye for now.<\/p>\n

Your Friend,<\/p>\n

Dave<\/p>\n
