Hi,<\/p>\n

How’s it going?<\/p>\n

How’s it going for you? I hope you had a
good weekend.<\/p>\n

Hey I have a couple of new jobs
that I have. I am going to be sending
out an email (customer service, animation,
graphic design and some other stuff)
so we can keep it in the family so to speak. <\/p>\n

It’s been a crazy few days. I had
one woman calling me over and over and
over and over again demanding money
from me. <\/p>\n

She claimed I owed her money. She is in
no database of mine and never bought
a thing from me. I finally had to
just put the phone down because I felt
it would be rude to hang up on her.<\/p>\n

Then another person called and demanded
that I help him with bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

Then another person left me a ton of messages
claming that she was unable to ever get me
and my voicemail never works?<\/p>\n

In all cases, I had no idea who the above
people were. No idea.<\/p>\n

Then I had ANOTHER situation.<\/p>\n

Someone that I know went off his meds
and went from being stable to totally
unstable in like 30 days.<\/p>\n

Here’s the interesting thing. I kind
of thought this person was off is him
medications but he had assured me
and sold me that he was on his bipolar
medications.<\/p>\n

He also sold and convinced
other people that I know.<\/p>\n

There’s something about the first couple
of weeks or even a month of someone who
is off his\/her bipolar medications. He\/she becomes
incredibly persuasive and try to get
you to do all kinds of things you normally
wouldn’t do.<\/p>\n

When I say you, I mean the bipolar supporter.
In this case that I am telling you about, this
person was doing some work and not doing it
well because he wasn’t on his medications.<\/p>\n

Slowly but surely everything that he was
doing started to fail.<\/p>\n

He do a whole lot of bad work and created
lots of problems with others as well.<\/p>\n

The thing that just so darn amazing with
bipolar disorder is how you have to be on
guard of not being sucked into a person
who is off medications.<\/p>\n

Here’s another example. My mom was actually
on her medication but on the wrong medication
and was not stable. But she was persuasive.<\/p>\n

She convinced me to give her lots of money.
She convinced my dad to give her lots of money.
She convinced her mother to give her lots of money.<\/p>\n

I can’t really explain exactly how she did
it but it was done.<\/p>\n

She then started convincing people to
do things like not work at her job or gang
up on her boss and not listen to what the
boss said. When I was looking back and
trying to figure it all out, it was
amazing.<\/p>\n

She wound up convincing people all sorts
of things. Keep in mind this was like in 2003
when her big bipolar episode was starting
and picking up steam.<\/p>\n

As I look back, it was amazing how so many
people wound up being persuaded and sold on
doing all kinds of things they really didn’t
want to do. All by someone who wasn’t on
the right bipolar medications and not stable.<\/p>\n

Now, after I started to learn about bipolar
disorder and started to figure out what was
going on, I started to stand up to my mom’s
bipolar disorder and stopped going along
and being persuaded.<\/p>\n

Now if I look at this particular person that
told you about this past weekend, he was able
to convince a whole lot of people about his
stability and wound up causing a lot of problems.<\/p>\n

If you are a bipolar supporter you have to
be careful not to fall into this trap. <\/p>\n

I call it “fooled by bipolar.” Bipolar
is a slick thing so to speak. It works
to persuade and trick you into various
things that are bad for you the supporter
and you the person with the disorder.<\/p>\n

Sometimes when I talk about bipolar being
an “it” or almost like a person people
think I am “out of my mind.” I am not.
But when you think of it as something
that is inhabiting your loved one,
it makes it much easier to deal with it
and separate it from your loved one.<\/p>\n

The purpose of today’s daily email is
to remind people that those who go
off their bipolar medications wind up
doing really bad things generally and
are very persuasive trying to get you
to go along with them or do things
that are not in your best interest.<\/p>\n

Also, you’re loved one can be on bipolar
medications and still become unstable and
you can be susceptible to being “fooled
by bipolar disorder.”<\/p>\n

Don’t fall for it. IF you hear of
an idea, plan or something from
your loved one with bipolar disorder,
resist going on. Don’t go along to
get along. That’s what my dad tried
for so many years and it never ever worked.
And my mom tells me to this day, she wishes
he didn’t do that because in the end it
wound up hurting her, him, me, my brother
and lots of other people.<\/p>\n

HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?
Visit:
http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net<\/a><\/p>\n

I talk at length how to stand up to bipolar
disorder and how to handle someone
in an episode who thinks they are fine.<\/p>\n

I am not sure why. But again, the person who
is off bipolar medications or the person on
medications but in an episode is very persuasive
and can get people who don’t have bipolar disorder
to do a whole lot of things that are totally
destructive.<\/p>\n

I would appreciate people posting some
stories of how persuasive and destructive
a person who is in a bipolar episode or off
his\/her medications can be.<\/p>\n
