It&#8217;s about credit cards<br \/>and bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n<p>Have a listen here:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/bipolarcentral.libsyn.com\">http:\/\/bipolarcentral.libsyn.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We have been talking a lot about money.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a problem that affects a<br \/>lot of people with bipolar disorder<br \/>and their loved ones.  So, I\u2019m just<br \/>warning you:<\/p>\n<p>DON\u2019T FALL VICTIM TO A<br \/>HIGH LIFESTYLE!<\/p>\n<p>Once they become stable and<br \/>high functioning, many people<br \/>with bipolar disorder wind up <br \/>being really successful.  They make<br \/>lots of money (while those who are<br \/>not as high functioning may still be<br \/>battling financial troubles, which I<br \/>go over extensively in my courses:<\/p>\n<p>But if they do become successful,<br \/>which I teach in my courses that they<br \/>definitely can be, some of these <br \/>people start going to the extreme \u2013<br \/>which I do NOT teach them to do!<\/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>The extreme is what I was talking<br \/>about before \u2013 about buying lots of<br \/>unnecessary things and living a high<br \/>lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>Then they have to cut back on<br \/>whatever they did to make all the<br \/>money, because the stress puts them<br \/>back into a bipolar episode, and the<br \/>cycle just continues on and on.<\/p>\n<p>IS IT WORTH IT?<\/p>\n<p>Sustaining this high lifestyle is too<br \/>much, and not worth it.  You should<br \/>cut back and downsize to a more<br \/>simple life.  De-stressing alone would <br \/>be worth what you have to do to <br \/>achieve it.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at all your stuff  and see <br \/>what you really need (as opposed to<br \/>what you really want).  Do you really<br \/>need 300 stations on your TV?  Do<br \/>you need 3 cars?  Do you need to eat<br \/>out 8 times a month?  Do you need to<br \/>buy all those expensive clothes?<\/p>\n<p>I know this married couple, where <br \/>both of them have bipolar disorder,<br \/>and they both live on disability.  They<br \/>used to have high paying jobs, along<br \/>with the pressure that came along with<br \/>that, and they had all the trappings of<br \/>it as well \u2013 the house, the car, the<br \/>clothes, etc.<\/p>\n<p>But both of them could not keep up<br \/>that lifestyle, and their high tower fell<br \/>down.  They were both living month<br \/>to month on just their disability, until<br \/>I met them, and now one of them works<br \/>for me.  But the point is, they have<br \/>continued to live a very simple lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>AND THEY ARE HAPPIER THEN<br \/>THEY WERE BEFORE!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s basically very simple.  If you <br \/>continue to live a high lifestyle, you<br \/>will continue to have the high stress<br \/>that that lifestyle brings into your life.<br \/>And if you have bipolar disorder, that<br \/>can cause you to have episodes.<\/p>\n<p>IS IT WORTH IT?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s your choice.  You can give up <br \/>the stress, and you can live a simpler<br \/>lifestyle.  You can still be successful<br \/>without all the materialistic trappings.<br \/>And you\u2019ll be much happier for it.<\/p>\n<p>I have a friend that\u2019s made like $400,000<br \/>a year for several years. He has like $50,000<br \/>in savings and that number is going DOWN<br \/>each month. Imagine that?<\/p>\n<p>You know what\u2019s \u201cCrazy\u201d so to speak. I have<br \/>seen time and time again people choose between<br \/>treatment and medication and \u201ccool\u201d and \u201cluxury\u201d<br \/>items. <\/p>\n<p>Hey, I just looked at the clock. I have an interview<br \/>to do. Mega bipolar success story and drug\/alcohol<br \/>addiction.<\/p>\n<p>Catch you tomorrow. Have a great day!<\/p>\n<p>Your friend,<\/p>\n<p>Dave<br \/>&#8211;<br \/>P.S.
