Hi,<\/p>\n
How are you? I wanted to write you today
about a major bipolar disorder success
story. I have been getting a ton lately.<\/p>\n
I think it’s because I have been doing
this for so long. I was reminded the other
day that it’s been almost three years. That’s
kind of amazing considering that 99% of people
that I spoke to about the idea 3 years ago
said it was impossible. <\/p>\n
They said things like:<\/p>\n
People would not listen to me
I am not a good writer and nobody would read it
Everyone on my list would be crazy and impossible
to deal with
I wouldn’t be able to buy advertising at a cheap
enough price to make it all work<\/p>\n
Well this has all come a long way. About 2 years ago
someone contacted me and his wife was totally out
of control.<\/p>\n
His wife had left him, was kind of missing but
would call. She was cheating on him with another
guy. She spent tons of money and said and did
a long list of really bad things.<\/p>\n
This person got one of my courses about
what he should do. He then used the f.ree
consultation certificate that came with it
and sent it in. NOTE this is for NON
medical and NON legal questions because
I am NOT a doctor, lawyer, financial advisor,
professional anything, etc.<\/p>\n
Anyway, he called and he was completely
distraught. His wife’s bipolar was destroying
him. He was going to the doctor himself
and was taking anxiety medication and medication
for depression.<\/p>\n
He said he never ate and only worried. His
work was suffering tremendously. He said
he couldn’t sleep and needed sleeping medication.
Even though I am NOT a doctor it seemed odd
to me how many medications he was taking.<\/p>\n
Anyway, we talked and he asked me what he
should do. I said the key is to focus on
getting her into treatment. <\/p>\n
When I was talking to him, he was not focused.
He had no real goal. Maybe his goal was
to have his old wife back. That really wasn’t
going to cut it with me.<\/p>\n
I told him about the get her in to treatment
goal and then other things would fall into place.<\/p>\n
He was worried that was a bad goal. I told him
I can’t make any promises and I gave him my cell
to call because he needed a friend and my list
was way smaller back then and I had more
f.ree time. <\/p>\n
So anyway, it took about a month for him to
get her into treatment. He probably had to try
about 12 of my 21 ways before one worked.<\/p>\n
After she was in treatment, within the first
day, she had been brought down from her manic
high and was able to be reasoned with.<\/p>\n
Over the months there were ups and downs
but eventually she really started to become
stable. <\/p>\n
Then he called and I warned him of the
doomsday scenario which had just almost
happen to me.<\/p>\n
I told him how he has to hope for the best
but plan for the worst. I told him
about putting the systems together
to prevent future episodes.<\/p>\n
After all this time, things are going great
for him and he is really happy. He is off
all his medications. <\/p>\n
NOTE-Again, I am NOT a doctor
remember and not recommending, diagnosing,
or making any medical suggestions only
pointing out facts.<\/p>\n
It’s nice to get such stories. I remember
how sad he was back in the day and now
everything is going great.<\/p>\n
I wanted to write so you hear something positive
today. There is hope and things can turn around
if you or your loved one aren’t doing well.
It just takes time. And it takes knowledge.<\/p>\n
