Hi,<\/p>\n

Well it looks like everything is moving along nicely
with my mom and her second episode. Basically
in about 10 days or so she went from doing well
to going into a manic episode. That’s all it
took. I didn’t even really know that was possible.<\/p>\n

Actually on this note, someone wrote me via email
and said I act like I know everything. Actually
that person is completely wrong. Unlike most
people I believe I don’t know everything and that’s
why I am constantly learning new stuff related
to this disorder.<\/p>\n

The person commented that I act as if, my courses\/
systems are perfect and I am all knowing. First,
let me say, if you are going to get my courses\/systems.<\/p>\n

These:<\/p>\n

SUPPORTING AN ADULT

http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11<\/a><\/p>\n

SUPPORTING A CHILD\/TEEN
Visit:
http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?
Visit:
http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net\/<\/a><\/p>\n

And you are doing so, because you think EVERY single
answer to ALL situations and problems with bipolar disorder
is perfectly explained, analyzed and covered, please
don’t get them. Don’t do it. Because if you are thinking
this, it’s not true. With my courses\/systems, my emails,
podcasts, articles, etc. I simply try to talk about
things that I think are important and do work well.<\/p>\n

BUT, bipolar disorder is indeed a formidable enemy.
Sometimes things come up you just don’t know could
have come up. When this happens, you make decisions
based on all the information in your head. You see
there are certain things that are in my head. I know
a ton of strategies and when my mom went into this
most recent episode, I was able to create a number
of custom strategies for the current situation.<\/p>\n

For example no where in any of my bipolar courses\/
systems do I talk about a patient undoing a medical
release and you not being informed. That’s what happen
to me and it made it initially very hard to communicate
with my mom’s treatment team. BUT, I used 3 counter
strategies to get around this problem.<\/p>\n

I hope this all makes sense? I guess what I am saying
is you get as much information as you can, then you
try to make the best decisions based on the information
you have. If you aren’t moving in the right direction then
try another strategy or get more information and try
another strategy.<\/p>\n

Now, the big secret to controlling destructive bipolar
episodes is being proactive. Back in the day, nobody
in my family would ever address my mom’s bipolar disorder.
If my mom started going into an episode, NOBODY did
anything. Nothing. My mom could be screaming, yelling,
spending all the money and nobody said or did anything.<\/p>\n

As I kid, I was conditioned to ignore it. Actually I never
even know what my mom had. We just didn’t talk about it.<\/p>\n

As a result of this appeasement philosophy or do nothing
episodes that should have been quick and small turned
into huge descriptive episodes.<\/p>\n

Today, when we see something, we take massive AND immediate
action right away. No waiting. This is why, with my mom’s
most current episode there was little to no damage done
because of all the systems in place and the first we
took massive and immediate action to get her back on
track.<\/p>\n
