Hi,<\/p>\n
How’s it going? Today I wanted
to write about something that’s pretty
darn sad.<\/p>\n
Since bipolar disorder is a mood disorder,
it affects a person’s moods and if a person
is not under the right treatment plan, he\/she
can do and say absolutely crazy things.<\/p>\n
I have the absolute craziest story. Okay
there is a person on my list that has
bipolar disorder. I know her because I have
spoken to her on the phone several times.<\/p>\n
She actually joined my list a really long
time ago and it was at a time that many people
had my phone number. Anyway this lady is not
really a believer in medication.<\/p>\n
As a result of her beliefs, her life is in
contact turmoil. Yesterday I get an email
from her demanding that I refund her money
on something that she got from you. <\/p>\n
THERE’S ONLY ONE PROBLEM.<\/p>\n
She never bought a thing from me. She is even
asking for an amount back from me that doesn’t
even correspond to what I sell. It’s even for
an item that is in know way connected to me.<\/p>\n
I tried to explain this to her and she totally
freaked out on me. It was really annoying I
must say.<\/p>\n
I decided to simply let her go and she has called
and called demanding money or she will report
me to the police, state senator, attorney
general, “the government” and the BBB.<\/p>\n
Here’s the thing. Well I have a few things to
say:<\/p>\n
TO THOSE WHO ARE SUPPORTERS<\/p>\n
You have to realize that bipolar disorder is a mood
disorder and a person can do and say things that is
not normally what they will do or say. So if
you are supporting someone that has bipolar disorder
and he\/she decided to say or do something really mean
to you it’s because they aren’t under the right treatment
plan.<\/p>\n
Many people spend days and weeks trying to figure out
why a loved one said the meanest and cruelest things
to them.<\/p>\n
Just look at the lady in my story. She wants money
back for a product that I don’t even sell and she
didn’t even order from me. This is the type of
abnormal behavior that a person who is not
under the right treatment plan can exhibit. <\/p>\n
It’s not just her either. Since I have 100,000
or so people on my list, I get a whole lot of
people saying and doing a whole lot of “crazy”
things.<\/p>\n
Anyway, the key is understanding that a person not
under the right treatment plan. This is NOT and I
repeat NOT all people with bipolar disorder. Generally
the ones on no bipolar medication or the wrong
bipolar medication.<\/p>\n
It’s easy to forget this so that’s why I am
sending a reminder :).<\/p>\n
And one more reminder. Don’t sit and try
to figure out why someone who is not
stable says mean things to you. You didn’t
do anything. That’s the nature of the illness.<\/p>\n

TO THE PEOPLE WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER<\/p>\n
There’s a good reason to see the doctor
when you are suppose to, to take your medication
how you are suppose to and to do the things
that are in your bipolar stability equation.<\/p>\n
The first reason is to do it for yourself.
If you don’t want to do it for yourself,
then the second reason is so that you don’t
do and say things that are hurtful to others.<\/p>\n
So if you are thinking about not doing the
right thing with your treatment, if you don’t
do it for yourself, do it for others.<\/p>\n
Remember if you have bipolar disorder and
don’t follow what your “good” doctor tells
you to do with your treatment plan, then
you are bound to hurt the ones around you.<\/p>\n
If my mom got off her medication or even
didn\u2019t follow what her doctors says, she would
hurt her mother, sister, my father, me, people
at work so on and so forth for sure. She 100%
realizes this and this is a motivating factor
for her to do the right thing each day–according
to what she tells me.<\/p>\n
There are people on my list that make absolute
total fools out of themselves because they
don’t take their bipolar disorder seriously
and don’t do what they are suppose to.<\/p>\n
I show my mom some of the emails sent or
the voicemails left and she says she is
ashamed or embarrassed. I quickly reminder
her that for every person that makes a total
fool out of themselves, there are people
doing great things with bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, I just shake my head at the people
who don’t follow what they are suppose to and think
there is NO excuse for them. There is NO
excuse for someone who has bipolar disorder,
knows it, and knows exactly what they have to do
to be stable and don’t do it. These are the people
that these days, judges in courts are “throwing
the book” at and they should.<\/p>\n
Anyway, hopefully this story will motivate the people
on my list with bipolar disorder that aren’t taking
their medication or listening to their doctor to
do so.<\/p>\n
