Hi,<\/p>\n

I really have to keep it short today. Yesterday
I sent out a daily email about how I was
attacked by someone who got one of my
courses.<\/p>\n

For the entire story visit:<\/p>\n

Anyway, thank you for all the responses on
my blog. Many people have said that this woman
who was a supporter of someone who has bipolar
disorder…well that’s what she told me,
probably had bipolar disorder herself.<\/p>\n

I respectfully disagree with this. I do say
respectfully because I totally value every ones
opinion and who knows if I am right. I certainly
am not right all the time. Like when I am driving
with map and constantly make the wrong terms
and 1 hour trips turn into 3 hours trips \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Anyway, here’s what I see with that person. I think
that this person is being destroyed by another
person with bipolar disorder who is not being
treated properly.<\/p>\n

I showed my mom the story and she said to me:<\/p>\n

“Wow that’s terrible. You should have hung
up on the lady….Why would she let her
daughter run all over her house?”<\/p>\n

Anyway, I would never hang up on someone. I
don’t even hang up on annoying telemarketers
that call to switch my phone service.
I think that’s wrong to hang up on people. I
don’t know why this is programmed into me.<\/p>\n

Anyway, here’s the big lesson to learn from
the verbally attacking lady. It comes
down to blame.<\/p>\n

She is blaming….<\/p>\n

EVERYONE BUT HERSELF FOR HER SITUATION<\/p>\n

This is a HUGE mistake. I mean HUGE! I
will say it again.<\/p>\n

Instead of her saying, “I got myself into
this situation with my daughter and I have
to work to get myself out of this situation…”
She blames me the other day, when I was
on the phone, she was blaming her daughters
doctors for intentionally creating a situation
where she would have her daughter at home
with lots of kids and have to take care of
everyone.<\/p>\n

She also blamed her ex husband who left her
with her “night mare” daughter with bipolar
disorder.<\/p>\n

I really think this. If you are a supporter of
someone with bipolar disorder, you have to stop
the blaming game. MOVE ON!<\/p>\n

I could have been blaming everyone and anyone
for the tons of money I lost with my mom but
what’s even far worse than that is all the years.
I lost so many years that were suppose to be
fun for me. Years, taking care of my mom, years
working like a slave to pay my mom’s bills,
etc.<\/p>\n

BUT, luckily I never thought like this. I just
moved one. I accepted the fact that it was MY
FAULT this happened. I never blamed it on my
mom either.<\/p>\n

My mom NEVER put a gun to my head and made me
do anything. NOW, she did manipulate me into
doing things for her but she never forced me.<\/p>\n

It was MY fault that I failed to educate
myself about the realities of her illness BEFORE
she took my time and money.<\/p>\n

I am NOT a doctor, therapist, lawyer, insurance
agent, etc, but I think that this kind of thinking
is really good. I think if you went to an expert
in this field and asked:<\/p>\n

“Is it healthy to blame everyone but you when
lots of bad things go wrong with someone
with bipolar disorder?” I think the answer
would be no. I think you have to take
personal responsibility.<\/p>\n

I have noticed the best supporters of people
with bipolar disorder do this. I have noticed
the ones who are not good supporters and not
happy, blame everyone and anyone other
than themselves.<\/p>\n

NOTE! This is not just for people who
are supporters of those with bipolar
disorder, it’s also for people with
bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

If you have bipolar disorder, accept
your illness, don’t be mad at everyone
because you have it. Also, take responsibility
for your actions and move on. Learn how to
cope, deal and manage yourself, and be
successful like many people are doing
each and every day.<\/p>\n

That’s right, each day there are MANY people
just like you, that are coping and dealing
with bipolar disorder perfectly.<\/p>\n

In my courses\/systems, you get to hear
from people that tell you exactly how
they do it:<\/p>\n
