Hi,<\/p>\n

How’s it going?<\/p>\n

I can’t believe it’s snowing where
I live. Seems to early.<\/p>\n

Anyway, yesterday I wrote a daily bipolar
email about not looking back at a negative
past and moving forward to look into the
future.<\/p>\n

Someone wrote me the following:<\/p>\n

“Dave, I hear what you are saying.
But there’s so many negative things
that have happen to use since
bipolar disorder started. It’s almost
impossible to keep looking back.”
-Mat<\/p>\n

Hey Mat, I know what you are saying.
Like I said yesterday, there’s a lot of
negative things with bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

BUT, you still to look to the future
and not just focus on the past bad
things.<\/p>\n

I have a very simple strategy for everyone
to help with this. <\/p>\n

Right now, go get a pen and
paper.<\/p>\n

Make a list of all the good things that
have happen with your loved one with
bipolar disorder<\/p>\n

Get together all pictures that show
happy times<\/p>\n

Get together any video footage of good
times.<\/p>\n

When things go badly you must review this list
and also separate the bipolar like we talked
about last week (If you missed that email,
see my blog below).<\/p>\n

The bottom line is you want to:<\/p>\n

FOCUS ON THE GOOD THINGS.<\/p>\n

Remember the good times. When you do this,
it will help you overcome your negative hopeless
feelings and provide “fuel” to move forward.<\/p>\n

By focusing on the good it will give you the
strength to keep on helping your loved one
and not abandon them.<\/p>\n

By focusing on the good it will help you
to withstand the verbal abuse you may
be experiencing<\/p>\n

By focusing on the good it will help
you to forgive all that was done that
was bad and many cases really bad. <\/p>\n

In my bipolar courses and systems, I talk at length
about how I suffered immensely from bipolar
disorder but I always focused on the good
things with my mom and not the bad.<\/p>\n

Other people wind up focusing on the
bad and that’s how they become super
angry. <\/p>\n

I find that by making a list of the good
things that happen with your loved one,
not only does it help you get through the
tough times but it also helps you remember
that bipolar disorder is not your loved one.<\/p>\n

Remember the thing that you are angry at is
bipolar disorder NOT your loved one. I know that
sounds crazy so to speak and I will probably
get a whole lot of emails from people saying
that I am confusing bipolar disorder with
other disorders like dissociative identity
disorder. I am NOT. <\/p>\n

This is just a technique to help you overcome
a very difficult time. Try thinking of your loved
one’s bipolar disorder completely separate from
him\/her and you will see how much easier your
life becomes.<\/p>\n

Also, review your “list of the good” regularly
and you will find yourself being a much better
supporter.<\/p>\n

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

Don’t let bipolar disorder beat you.<\/p>\n

If you have tried this technique, please
write us all a story in my blog below<\/p>\n

Your Friend,<\/p>\n

Dave<\/p>\n
