It&#8217;s the worst<br \/>illness ever. It&#8217;s mesed up my life so<br \/>much. I hate it. I hate having it. <br \/>I wish I didn&#8217;t have it.&#8221;<br \/>-Janice<\/p>\n<p>Janice got me to thinking of several things.<br \/>First let me say that I do not have bipolar<br \/>disorder so I can&#8217;t speak from personal<br \/>experience about having the disorder.<\/p>\n<p>But I want to point out something that<br \/>all started with someone I knew.<\/p>\n<p>A few years back, right around the time<br \/>my mom started to go into her really big<br \/>bipolar episode, I was working with<br \/>my accountant of many years.<\/p>\n<p>He was the accountant that I had for the<br \/>longest. He was older close to 70 and a<br \/>really smart person. He had been a Certified<br \/>Public Accountant for 50 years or so.<\/p>\n<p>MAJOR BIPOLAR LESSON COMING <\/p>\n<p>One week I was in to see him. He was coughing<br \/>a lot. I told him he should go to the doctor.<br \/>He laughed and told me how he doesn&#8217;t go to the<br \/>doctor.<\/p>\n<p>A week later, he was coughing like crazy on<br \/>a Friday. I said he needed to go to the doctor.<br \/>So did his assistant. He actually decided he<br \/>was going to go. For the first time I saw<br \/>he looked worried.<\/p>\n<p>I told him, I would see him next week again<br \/>to go over more stuff. We said goodbye.<\/p>\n<p>That was the last time I ever saw him. He<br \/>died with 90 days of cancer. It was really<br \/>sad.<\/p>\n<p>I never really got to say goodbye to him. I<br \/>said goodbye but I didn&#8217;t know the last time<br \/>I said it would be the LAST TIME.<\/p>\n<p>I was really sad for a while.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward a few years and I need to get<br \/>another car. The last guy who sold me my<br \/>other car was a guy named Dave. He was a really<br \/>nice and honest car salesmen. After he sold<br \/>me my car, we became friends. I would come in<br \/>and see him many times.<\/p>\n<p>He was amazing because<br \/>most car sales people that I met in the past<br \/>are dishonest and &#8220;slick.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>Dave was a great guy however. I went in<br \/>to see him about getting another car <br \/>and he was like, &#8220;come on in when you are ready, <br \/>I will take care of you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I waited several months and I went<br \/>to go see him. I was told when I went in<br \/>that Dave is on sick leave. I asked privately<br \/>what was wrong. I was told he had cancer. <\/p>\n<p>I was immediately worried. I thought of my<br \/>accountant. I thought of the fact there seems<br \/>to be no system with cancer. I thought of the<br \/>randomness.<\/p>\n<p>I was really sad. Dave died within 6 months<br \/>of having the illness.<\/p>\n<p>There are other people I know who have died but<br \/>none that I knew so much about like my accountant<br \/>and Dave.<\/p>\n<p>When I hear people say how bad bipolar disorder<br \/>is, I often tell them to realize that the disorder<br \/>can be managed. I remind them that no one<br \/>I know of died from bipolar disorder itself like<br \/>cancer.<\/p>\n<p>I think cancer is a far worse thing to have. It<br \/>seem random. How do you manage cancer? I mean<br \/>some people beat it but there appears to be no real<br \/>system that I have ever heard of. Maybe there is?<br \/>I am not sure. <\/p>\n<p>If you got my courses\/systems and go through<br \/>them from a to z carefully:<\/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>You can&#8217;t help but to feel that bipolar<br \/>disorder can easily be managed and a person<br \/>with it can be successful and live a long<br \/>and productive life.<\/p>\n<p>If you listen to the success interviews<br \/>in the courses\/systems, you will hear <br \/>people who suffered for years and years<br \/>and years with bipolar disorder and then<br \/>learned how to manage it. And manage<br \/>it so well you can&#8217;t tell they have bipolar<br \/>disorder.<\/p>\n<p>People like Janice need to hear what I<br \/>call &#8220;bipolar success&#8221; because too much<br \/>of this illness focuses on the negative.<\/p>\n<p>The news does, many doctors do, many<br \/>therapists do, many people do, and worst<br \/>of all, it&#8217;s hard to find the successful<br \/>bipolar supporters or bipolar survivors<br \/>in the world. I do understand why it&#8217;s<br \/>easy to be negative when there&#8217;s not a lot<br \/>of positive promoted.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line is bipolar is NOT cancer<br \/>and I strongly believe is much more within<br \/>you and your loved one&#8217;s control.<\/p>\n<p>I am not saying you can&#8217;t beat cancer but<br \/>it seems really vague how to. I am not<br \/>an expert with cancer, and I don&#8217;t have<br \/>bipolar disorder, but I can tell you,<br \/>you can manage bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n<p>I have seen so many people do it and do<br \/>it effectively. I have 8 people who work<br \/>for me who manage it super well. I have<br \/>lots of friends who have it. I have interviewed<br \/>tons of people who have it and manage it.<\/p>\n<p>If you are ever feeling down about<br \/>having bipolar disorder or having a loved one<br \/>with bipolar disorder, just think about the following:<\/p>\n<p>-bipolar disorder can be managed. So many people<br \/>have proved this.<\/p>\n<p>-there are medications to control it<\/p>\n<p>-no one ever died of bipolar disorder (I know people<br \/>have died from not taking medication and doing<br \/>things that lead to death)<\/p>\n<p>-Many super successful people have bipolar<br \/>disorder, and use the disorder to accomplish<br \/>big things in society<\/p>\n<p>-For most people, doing well with bipolar<br \/>disorder is within their control.<\/p>\n<p>I would list more things but you get the idea.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to cancer, there are other illnesses<br \/>far worse than bipolar disorder as well. Ones people<br \/>can&#8217;t control. How about like my friend who<br \/>has &#8220;something&#8221; that makes her fall over sometimes<br \/>when she is walking. It makes her dizzy a lot. She<br \/>can&#8217;t think a lot of the time either. <\/p>\n<p>They don&#8217;t know what it is or how to treat it. <\/p>\n<p>If you are reading this, at least you know it&#8217;s<br \/>bipolar disorder. Imagine not even knowing what you have<br \/>like my friend. Even if you aren&#8217;t sure if you have<br \/>bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, borderline<br \/>personality disorder, at least you know it&#8217;s some<br \/>kind of mental illness.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine falling down and not being able to think<br \/>and you have no idea why. My friend is in a constant<br \/>state of worry because she doesn&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>If you are ever feeling down, remind yourself about<br \/>the other illnesses out there you or your loved one<br \/>with bipolar disorder could have. Then you might<br \/>be grateful you have something that can be managed,<br \/>controlled, something you know what it is and can<br \/>read about it, something that has a track record of <br \/>some of the worlds most successful people having it <br \/>and using it as an asset, and something that makes <br \/>you seemingly more intelligent and creative than most<br \/>other people.<\/p>\n<p>If you are down, take some time to really think about<br \/>this.<\/p>\n<p>I have to take off now. I will see you tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Your Friend,<\/p>\n<p>Dave<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
