Hi,<\/p>\n
How’s it going?<\/p>\n
I wanted to write you a quick something
about the seminar that I went to.<\/p>\n
I went to a business seminar. It had nothing
to do with bipolar disorder but I was
reminded about something so important
that many people seem to forget about.<\/p>\n
What’s that?<\/p>\n
Well let me tell you what happen. I was
sitting down at my table in my seat.<\/p>\n
After about 1.5 hours, we had a break.<\/p>\n
I was a little late so I was unable to introduce
myself to anyone formerly. <\/p>\n
But during the break I did. I went up to people
and said “Hi, I am David Oliver, what’s your name
and what do you do?”<\/p>\n
People would tell me and naturally, people would
ask, “What do you do?” Instead of telling
people about consulting or my other
businesses, I wanted to tell them about
the mental health organization.<\/p>\n
After doing so, I was shocked with what
I heard.<\/p>\n
When I said, “I have an organization that
helps people deal with serious mental
health disorder like schizophrenia, borderline
personally disorder and bipolar disorder,
with an emphasis on bipolar disorder.”<\/p>\n
Guess what 4 out of first 6 people
I met said to me?<\/p>\n
Take a guess and scroll….<\/p>\n
Make sure you guess then scroll…<\/p>\n
They either said that they had bipolar
disorder, or they knew someone really close
to them with it.<\/p>\n
One lady I introduced myself to, said
both her daughters have it. <\/p>\n
Another woman said her boyfriend had it.
Two people said they had it.<\/p>\n
Another person said a family member had
it.<\/p>\n
I must say that I was REALLY, REALLY
shocked.<\/p>\n
Then get this. And I really feel this is
amazing. I have a woman that sells me advertising
services for one of my other businesses. NOT
related to bipolar or mental health.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I mentioned my mom had bipolar disorder
(NOTE-My mom has given me permission to do this)
and she said, “I have bipolar disorder.”<\/p>\n
Then I asked her if she said she had it and she
said “yea why?” I then asked her some questions. I could
tell she was totally ashamed and embarrassed and then
I told her about my other organization and she felt
okay. I could tell however she didn’t want to talk
about it and changed the subject fast and then
she had to go.<\/p>\n
I feel bad for someone like this. You can tell she
is kind of alone with the disorder.<\/p>\n
I know that many people are affected
by bipolar disorder but for some reason
I am always amazed when I see it in reality
so to speak.<\/p>\n
Many people on my list are suffering in silence,
embarrassed, ashamed of themselves or loved one,
unwilling to talk to others about bipolar disorder
and it should not be this way? Why because unlike
other illnesses out there, bipolar disorder is COMMON.<\/p>\n
Let me repeat that again, bipolar disorder is common.<\/p>\n
And I have some news for you. Mental illness is VERY
common. In the last week I have met multiple people
who have depression, one person’s sister is a cutter (
she cuts her arms and legs frequently), one has the
hair pulling disorder that I can’t spell, several people
have kids with ADHD and autism. This is just in the
last 10 days.<\/p>\n
And these people are people that are associated with
my other businesses NOT mental health. I just bring
up bipolar disorder and all of a sudden they feel “okay”
to talk about either their disorder or a family member’s
disorder.<\/p>\n
The big lesson of today is that there are a lot of
people dealing with these illnesses and you should
not feel alone because you are not.<\/p>\n
When I first started helping my mom, I didn’t know
of a single person that had bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n
I remember one time that someone had told me that a girl
in my college had it. That’s all I knew. I kind of felt
weird about bipolar disorder myself UNTIL I started
going out and asking people for help and telling what
was happening to me. When I did that, the flood gate
of stories opened up. All sorts of people were dealing
with it as well.<\/p>\n
I will never forget this day. My mom didn’t pay her
taxes. The Internal Revenue Service was writing, really,
really, really nasty letters. I decided I had to “handle
it.” Even though I am not an accountant, I said I have
to do something or they will make my mom worse.<\/p>\n
I called and to make a long story short. I was totally
honest and explained what my mom had, where she was and
I will never forget the IRS person saying, “Oh I know
what you are saying, my sister has bipolar disorder.”<\/p>\n
Then we began to talk and she was super nice and allowed
my mom to pay off in really small payments. She stopped
all the letters.<\/p>\n
From that day forward, I felt bipolar disorder was
way bigger than I ever imagined.<\/p>\n
The amazing thing about bipolar disorder
is that tons of people are dealing with
it whether they are supporters or bipolar
survivors.<\/p>\n
You may be embarrassed to talk about it, you may
not want to tell others but I suggest that you do
talk about it, and you will be shocked how many people
know about it and are understanding.<\/p>\n
Also I found little pieces to the bipolar puzzle from
random people I met when I was trying to help my mom.<\/p>\n
One person that I met, provided the key secret I was
missing to getting my mom on disability. I just
“bumped” into her.<\/p>\n
In my course\/systems below, several of the major bipolar
success stories are people that I “bumped” into:<\/p>\n
