I have to take off pretty quick here<br \/>because I have to go to train. <\/p>\n<p>As a side note, someone once asked how I think of topics<br \/>to write about each day. I have a lot of stuff to choose<br \/>from. I have over 100,000 on my list, it grows up to 800<br \/>people a day, I have 8 people who work for me with a mental<br \/>illness, my mom has bipolar disorder, I have friends<br \/>with it, so coming up with new things to write about<br \/>is pretty easy.<\/p>\n<p>But getting up each morning and spending 1 hour writing<br \/>and thinking about it can be hard. Especially when<br \/>you are tired \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I was checking out my bipolar<br \/>blog yesterday at www.bipolarcentral.com\/supporterblog<br \/>and came across some interesting posts.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s one.<\/p>\n<p>Anita said&#8230; <br \/>I have a question for Mr. Oliver that doesn&#8217;t <br \/>really pertain to the news. I just didn&#8217;t know <br \/>how else to contact you. I&#8217;m Bipolar and I wonder <br \/>why I do what I do. I shut everybody out. I don&#8217;t <br \/>let ANYBODY know what&#8217;s going on except my Dr. even <br \/>when I&#8217;m manic &#8211; unless I can&#8217;t help it. Sure- <br \/>I yell a lot at my kids, and everybody knows I&#8217;m moody, <br \/>but I don&#8217;t want anybody to know I&#8217;m depressed, <br \/>suicidal, paranoid, manic or whatever. Why do I <br \/>do that? Is that normal behavior? <\/p>\n<p>And then I got another one that said.<\/p>\n<p>misty said&#8230; <br \/>My mother is bipolar. I am at the end of my rope. <br \/>She keeps getting worse and worse. She has been <br \/>calling me latly leaving nasty messages. I don&#8217;t <br \/>know what to do. I just got married. We went to <br \/>Hawaii on our own just so she would not mess our <br \/>day up. Well, now she is giving us a reseption.<br \/>She claims all i do is complain about everything. <br \/>So not true. I am in the middle of starting my <br \/>new career.I have been going on interviews. i am a <br \/>stylist so I take clients at home right now. so I <br \/>am super busy. She calls me 10 times a day. If I <br \/>do not answer she getsreally bad and hateful. I <br \/>can&#8217;t take it. I don&#8217;t know what to do. Please help!<\/p>\n<p>I was reading these posts and thinking about<br \/>something that I learned when I was at school. I<br \/>have actually used it a lot over the years.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s called Occam&#8217;s Razor. <br \/>Wikipedia says this of Occam&#8217;s Razor&#8230;<br \/>Occam&#8217;s razor (sometimes spelled Ockham&#8217;s razor) <br \/>is a principle attributed to the 14th-century <br \/>English logician and Franciscan friar William of Ockham. <\/p>\n<p>[The principle] often paraphrased as &#8220;All things <br \/>being equal, the simplest solution tends to be <br \/>the right one.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Most of the time, I find that when trying<br \/>to help someone with bipolar disorder, indeed<br \/>the simplest solution is the one that generally<br \/>works.<\/p>\n<p>If we look at the two posts, the simplest <br \/>solution that runs through for both people<br \/>is&#8211;the need to a correct treatment plan.<\/p>\n<p>The first person obviously is struggling<br \/>and needs to immediately go to the doctor <br \/>and express all the things posted in my blog<br \/>or have the help of someone who is around<br \/>and acting as bipolar supporter do it for<br \/>them or help them.<\/p>\n<p>As for the second person, the mother<br \/>needs proper treatment. This might sound<br \/>simple but it&#8217;s the truth. I find many<br \/>people waste so much time thinking of<br \/>what to do when the #1 focus has to be<br \/>getting either yourself (if you aren&#8217;t<br \/>stable ) or someone who<br \/>is not stable with bipolar disorder into<br \/>the right treatment plan. <\/p>\n<p>Many times, people are looking for very complex<br \/>strategies on how to &#8220;handle&#8221; someone with<br \/>bipolar disorder that is not stable or how to<br \/>handle severe mood swings. The answer is generally<br \/>simple&#8211;it&#8217;s about the right treatment plan.<\/p>\n<p>The first step is to find a good doctor. The good<br \/>doctor works to make a good treatment plan. After<br \/>that, everything else starts to fall into place.<\/p>\n<p>Virtually all the success stories in all my<br \/>courses\/systems below all started with getting<br \/>a good doctor and that person created a good<br \/>treatment plan.<\/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>With bipolar disorder, don&#8217;t fall prey to<br \/>looking for super complex answers or strategies.<br \/>Remember the Occam&#8217;s Razor philosophy.<\/p>\n<p>For many that I have talked to with bipolar<br \/>disorder who have struggled. By them simply<br \/>going to the doctor once a month, changed their<br \/>entire life. All they really needed to do is<br \/>show up with consistency. <\/p>\n<p>If they would have done this from the time they<br \/>were first diagnosed, they would have not wasted<br \/>years and years of their lives. <\/p>\n<p>Well I have to take off for the day.
