It&#8217;s actually pretty early<br \/>for me. Before I take off, I wanted to<br \/>share an important lesson with you.<\/p>\n<p>This particular time of the year, tends<br \/>to bring a lot of problems for people with<br \/>bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n<p>With that said, today I wanted to send out an important<br \/>concept on how to predict the future with<br \/>bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n<p>It might sound impossible but it&#8217;s really not.<\/p>\n<p>Let me explain the secret.<\/p>\n<p>Many times with bipolar disorder, everything comes<br \/>down to patterns.<\/p>\n<p>For many people, there are certain periods of time<br \/>that are more difficult. People tend to have certain<br \/>things or events that trigger mania or depression.<\/p>\n<p>People cycle during the same periods of time each<br \/>month, or year.<\/p>\n<p>Bipolar episodes, many times, come at the same time<br \/>each year.<\/p>\n<p>With this said after you start doing a bunch of<br \/>PEAs (post episode analyses), you start to be<br \/>able to predict the future.<\/p>\n<p>For example, I feel strong that my mom will start to<br \/>go into a slight bipolar episode in November.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing I am unsure of is how many days<br \/>it will last.<\/p>\n<p>How do I know this? Or am I just being<br \/>&#8220;negative&#8221; about my mom? <\/p>\n<p>I know this because this has happen for several<br \/>years in a row. If you have been on my list for a<br \/>while, you will remember each November\/December <br \/>I am writing about my mom going into a bipolar<br \/>episode.<\/p>\n<p>Two years ago it was a nightmare. Why? Well<br \/>I just didn&#8217;t know a lot of things. Then I did<br \/>a PEA and figured out what went wrong. I fixed<br \/>up the system to solve most of the problems. But<br \/>then, last year she went into a slight episode.  <br \/>The system however caught it way in advance<br \/>from the previous year&#8217;s &#8220;learnings.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This year I feel that it will be caught way ahead<br \/>of time and there will not be much damage from<br \/>the bipolar episode.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you have my materials on bipolar<br \/>disorder, you know I am a HUGE believer in<br \/>backup plans and I even have an entire<br \/>concept called how to avoid the dooms day<br \/>scenario which has a super system of <br \/>preventing episodes after big<br \/>episodes.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on that visit:<br \/>http:\/\/www.bipolarcentral.com\/bipolardoomsday\/<\/p>\n<p>This past September I warned my dad that my mom<br \/>would have trouble sleeping probably in<br \/>October.<\/p>\n<p>He looked at me like I was crazy. How did<br \/>I know that? Well I had a feeling and<br \/>also, my mom generally has problems sleeping<br \/>in October.<\/p>\n<p>It confuses me really why my dad forgets<br \/>anything that happens the year before.<\/p>\n<p>My aunt on the other hand, who is one of<br \/>my mom&#8217;s bipolar supporters always remembers.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I found out my mom had problems sleeping<br \/>in the first part of October but took the proactive<br \/>stance and called the doctor and her treatment<br \/>plan was adjusted. And she is working with<br \/>her therapist on sleeping better. Both her<br \/>therapist and doctor are in concert with<br \/>her treatment plan and address the problem<br \/>BEFORE it turns into a big bipolar episode.<\/p>\n<p>I call this preemption strike or &#8220;preemption.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Most people who are dealing with bipolar<br \/>disorder never try to predict the future, plan,<br \/>or engage in preemption. They just hope for the<br \/>best of &#8220;keep their fingers crossed.&#8221; This is kind<br \/>of how our family did it for so many years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Keeping your fingers crossed&#8221; and &#8220;hoping<br \/>everything will just work out fine&#8221; don&#8217;t work.<\/p>\n<p>In my course\/systems, you&#8217;ll find a lot of other<br \/>techniques to help predict the future. Many times<br \/>you don&#8217;t know things that are coming and it&#8217;s someone<br \/>like me who has been down the road you are traveling<br \/>that can let you know.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t done so, take a look at my<br \/>courses\/systems as soon as you can:<\/p>\n<p>SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>Visit:<br \/>http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11<\/p>\n<p>SUPPORTING A CHILD\/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>Visit:<br \/>http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com<\/p>\n<p>HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>Visit:<br \/>http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net<\/p>\n<p>Today as a good assignment for you, make a<br \/>list of what&#8217;s happen historically with either<br \/>you or your loved one&#8217;s bipolar disorder and<br \/>then try to anticipate what will happen in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Then launch a preemptive strike against the<br \/>bipolar.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE how it&#8217;s against the bipolar not your<br \/>loved one.
