I wanted to tell you something<br \/>super important today but before I do, I want<br \/>to update you on some stuff.<\/p>\n<p>This past week I set a record for myself. I <br \/>read 18 books. I am working on two problems&#8211;<br \/>one lowering the cost of my advertising<br \/>which is out of this world. The cost of bringing<br \/>in new people to my mailing list is really,<br \/>really high. Some of you know how much and<br \/>you have been &#8220;amazed.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The second problem I have been working on <br \/>is a way to help people who can&#8217;t afford<br \/>medication for a mental illness. Now I know<br \/>there are these programs where you can get<br \/>bipolar medication at a reduced cost but<br \/>many people can&#8217;t figure out how to qualify<br \/>or simply don\u2019t qualify.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s such a big problem for people on my<br \/>list that I am working on a f.ree system<br \/>to help people in need. I almost have it<br \/>all together.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s going to be great and will cover<br \/>all situations. I find that the reduced<br \/>medication programs simply don&#8217;t seem<br \/>to work too well with people like I said<br \/>before.<\/p>\n<p>I am going to be asking for volunteers<br \/>to get and go through my system for fr.ee<br \/>and give me feedback to make sure it makes<br \/>sense and will work. I then will launch<br \/>it worldwide 100% free of charge to help<br \/>society. It&#8217;s kind of complicated to set<br \/>it up but it will be simple to use.  <\/p>\n<p>The idea I came up with has forced me to<br \/>do tons of research hence why I read 18<br \/>books in a week. I have about another 25<br \/>to go. I am going to read them over the next<br \/>two weeks. <\/p>\n<p>Keep your eyes opens for an email over the next<br \/>month asking for volunteers to go through<br \/>my system.<\/p>\n<p>Okay let&#8217;s jump into today&#8217;s topic.<\/p>\n<p>I was over my parents house and I was<br \/>talking to my dad. First he told me <br \/>my mom was having trouble sleeping<br \/>but before it got out of control<br \/>and went into a major bipolar episode,<br \/>she called her doctor and therapist<br \/>and they came up with a change<br \/>to her bipolar treatment plan to help<br \/>her sleep.<\/p>\n<p>Sleep is a huge thing with bipolar<br \/>disorder. Very few people even mention<br \/>it. If you or your loved one has problems<br \/>sleeping, call the doctor\/therapist as soon<br \/>as possible. Lack of sleep leads to bipolar<br \/>episodes.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I was happy my mom was proactive.<br \/>So then I told my dad that I kind of knew this<br \/>would happen&#8230;he looked at me confused<br \/>and said, &#8220;how did you know?&#8221; I said,<br \/>&#8220;umm remember those worksheets I gave<br \/>you from my bipolar supporter course<br \/>that I filled out for you that explained<br \/>the signs and symptoms for mom and also<br \/>went through historical data?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He was like, &#8220;ummm, well yea that&#8217;s right.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I could tell he had no idea what I was<br \/>talking about. Then he said to me, &#8220;well<br \/>it&#8217;s great your mother was proactive. I<br \/>am keeping my fingers crossed that she<br \/>doesn&#8217;t go into an episode.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I was like, &#8220;you are keeping your fingers<br \/>crossed?&#8221; He was like, &#8220;yea, that&#8217;s what I<br \/>am doing.&#8221; I looked at him like he was<br \/>crazy.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE-If you are in a country where people<br \/>don&#8217;t do this and you don&#8217;t know what &#8220;keeping ones<br \/>fingers crossed&#8221; means, it&#8217;s like&#8230;hmm<br \/>how do I explain it. People do this<br \/>so that they can prevent bad things or<br \/>bad luck from happening.<\/p>\n<p>I said, &#8220;Dad what kind of system is that? You&#8217;re<br \/>fingers crossed? What do you think stability<br \/>is, like a lottery?&#8221; He looked at me puzzled<br \/>and then I reminded him all the stuff in my<br \/>bipolar supporter course on bipolar success<br \/>course on what it takes to be stable.<\/p>\n<p>I said, &#8220;dad, when I set all this up, the goal<br \/>was a system that mom could use that gave her<br \/>the power to manage her bipolar disorder. This<br \/>system has worked incredibly well for her and<br \/>tens of thousands of other people all over the world,<br \/>and it&#8217;s not based on a lottery type of approach.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said, &#8220;well, you&#8217;re right, she will follow<br \/>your material.&#8221; Then he went back to watching<br \/>the news.<\/p>\n<p>In my head, I realized that my dad seriously<br \/>thinks my mom&#8217;s stability is based on &#8220;luck&#8221;<br \/>or like a lottery. He thinks she has kind of<br \/>gotten lucky. It&#8217;s not skill or a system<br \/>and this is totally wrong.<\/p>\n<p>There are many on my list that think this<br \/>way. I am here to tell you&#8230;well first<br \/>let&#8217;s take a break and say the old disclaimer&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I am not a doctor, lawyer, insurance agent<br \/>therapist, or other kind of professional. <br \/>I am not offering medical or legal advice.<br \/>I am offering my opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Oh and I am not a circus worker. Someone asked<br \/>me if I worked in a circus out west in the USA.<br \/>I had to laugh.<\/p>\n<p>Okay back to the point. Stability with bipolar<br \/>disorder is done through a system and I firmly<br \/>believe that anyone can learn the system<br \/>to managing bipolar disorder. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not a lottery at all. <\/p>\n<p>AS a matter of fact, I was interviewing a woman<br \/>today and she is one of the biggest success stories<br \/>I have ever come across. She spent years, and years<br \/>going to hospitals for bipolar disorder. She was<br \/>doing really, really bad. She had really violent<br \/>thoughts. She couldn&#8217;t keep any kind of job.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually she learned how to manage bipolar her<br \/>bipolar disorder through a new system and new<br \/>techniques and methods. She has remained stable<br \/>for 17 years and not been to the hospital. She also<br \/>has held the same job for the last 17 years.<\/p>\n<p>So here is a lady who has stability based on <br \/>almost luck or a lottery and then goes on<br \/>to manage her bipolar and control it instead<br \/>of it controlling her. It&#8217;s through<br \/>a system.<\/p>\n<p>She is just one example that bipolar can<br \/>be managed. Look at my mom, same thing.<br \/>She used to go into so many bipolar episodes<br \/>every year. Today she manages her bipolar<br \/>disorder and &#8220;catches&#8221; the episodes before they<br \/>get out of control.<\/p>\n<p>In my courses\/systems:<\/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>I talk about how to prevent episodes and what <br \/>to do if episodes occur whether you have bipolar disorder<br \/>or you are supporting an adult or child. <br \/>There are ways to manage bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n<p>You may feel that I keep repeating the<br \/>same point in this email but I really want<br \/>to drive it home before it&#8217;s so important.<\/p>\n<p>Bipolar supporters and bipolar survivors<br \/>have to realize that you can manage bipolar<br \/>disorder. I sent an email yesterday talking<br \/>about the importance of belief and bipolar<br \/>disorder. This goes along with belief. You have<br \/>to believe that you or your loved one can<br \/>manage bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n<p>If you think it&#8217;s based on luck or a lottery<br \/>than it&#8217;s going to be really difficult to maintain<br \/>stability.<\/p>\n<p>Well I have to run and head off to the library<br \/>to do some research. I will catch you tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Your Friend,<\/p>\n<p>Dave<\/p>\n<p>P.S. Don&#8217;t forget to take a look through the <br \/>different programs I&#8217;ve put together&#8230; each one is designed <br \/>to help you with a different area of bipolar disorder whether<br \/>you have it or you are supporting someone with it. <br \/>You can see them all and get the details by visiting:<br \/>http:\/\/www.bipolarcentral.com\/catalog.asp<\/p>\n<p>P.P.S.
