Hi,<\/p>\n

How’s it going?<\/p>\n

What a day Thursday was. I had so much mail
it was hard to believe. Two giant crates of mail.<\/p>\n

I had a few people write me from jail.<\/p>\n

I had lots of letters to read.<\/p>\n

It’s getting hard to respond to everyone.<\/p>\n

Anyway, don’t worry this isn’t a “let’s feel
bad for Dave” email today. I have an important
thing to talk about.<\/p>\n

A few days ago, some kid did something really, really
bad. You probably heard. He killed 9 or 10 people.<\/p>\n

I have been flooded with emails and calls asking
if I think the kid has bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

It’s kind of offensive to me that every time something
bad happens someone thinks it because someone has
bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

I have no idea. At the end of the day, there will be
no real logical reason that someone would go to a
mall and kill innocent random people.<\/p>\n

BUT, I wanted to send this out and say the following.<\/p>\n

All people with bipolar disorder are not killers…
obviously.<\/p>\n

There are many people with bipolar disorder who do super
well in society. They are inventers, teachers, leaders,
sales people, car people, moms, dads, computer people,
artists, etc. You name it, they are it.<\/p>\n

You can’t jump and assume that all bad
in the world is from someone with bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

Does everyone in the world that shoots
someone have bipolar disorder? NO. Some are
just evil. And there are other reasons.
Sometimes no reason.<\/p>\n

BUT, it’s important for people to understand
that you just can’t blame all bad on bipolar
disorder like I said before.<\/p>\n

You have to be real careful. I will tell you
a story. Back when my brother was talking
to us (my mom, dad, and myself), I remember
that if my mom would say the slightest thing,
or express any emotion about anything, my brother
would say, “is she in an episode AGAIN?!?!” He would
then laugh and roll his eyes.<\/p>\n

It was right after we got a “foothold” in stability
with my mom– about 9 months after she went
into her major bipolar episode. I got so annoyed with
my brother’s comments that I said, “Look, everything
isn’t bipolar. Cut her some slack. She is human
you know?!?!”<\/p>\n

He got all mad at me and didn’t’ speak to me for about
a week. I was like “whatever?” It’s odd considering
he is older than me. You would think that he would
be giving me the lectures not the other way around.<\/p>\n

Anyway, back to my point. IF you think something
is bipolar related and you are a supporter. I think
it’s best that you don’t blurt out “are you in
an episode?” Rather, “you do a quiet investigation.”<\/p>\n

I teach how to do this a to z. <\/p>\n

But let me give you some info in this email.<\/p>\n

You can do the following:<\/p>\n

-See if the person is taking his\/her medications<\/p>\n

-Have you notice any other signs<\/p>\n

-Is the person sleeping?<\/p>\n

-Is the person seeing a doctor regularly?<\/p>\n

-How about a therapist?<\/p>\n

-Has there been a change in season?<\/p>\n

-Look at your results from your last PEA if
you have one<\/p>\n

-Is there a good reason for the thing that happen
to occurred? For example, let’s say your loved one
was driving and someone spit on their car, 90%
of people would be super mad and talk about it. Maybe
even talk about finding and getting even with the
person. That’s kind of normal and wouldn’t be a
sign of an episode GENERALLY. Know what I mean now?<\/p>\n

It’s interesting how on the one hand, if someone
has bipolar disorder and gets mad because someone
is mean to them, people around them thing they
are going into an episode. If this was the case,
90% of my friends would have bipolar disorder in
the gym. I have friends that get mad if the
THINK someone looked at them wrong :).<\/p>\n

Okay that’s not healthy but that’s another story.<\/p>\n

As a side note, when ever someone is mean to
me or gives me a dirty look, I always smile
really big and say “hi, how’s it going?” They
get really confused and then say hi back because
I said hi.<\/p>\n

Back to the lesson, after you ask yourself all
the questions I just listed, you then can see if
it’s an episode or not.<\/p>\n

I notice that 95% of the time when someone
asks all these questions the answers tell
them if it’s a sign of a bipolar episode.<\/p>\n

Make sense?<\/p>\n

Hope so.<\/p>\n

IMPORTANT REQUEST<\/p>\n

If you have bipolar disroder, I want you
to post on my blog about how it makes you
feel when people do what I talked about
tod.<\/p>\n

Well with that said I have to run and go
to the good old gym.<\/p>\n

Catch you tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Your Friend,<\/p>\n

Dave<\/p>\n
