Hey,<\/p>\n

I have some good news and bad news. The bad news is that
the news is not ready. Normally I send it out. But Andrea,
my webmaster is swamped and her kids have been sick.<\/p>\n

So, I am sending a bipolar lesson today about big old
Jimmy (285 pound man).<\/p>\n

In the gym where I train, there’s a number of hard core lifters.
These are people that have one desire. Well two. To get as big
and as strong as possible. This is their number one goal. It’s
ahead of anything else.<\/p>\n

I have a friend named Jimmy. He is kind of like this but not
as bad. Being big and strong is a priority to him. He is 285
pounds probably about 5 foot 7 inches. He is MASSIVE. He works
out with 495 pounds on the bench like it’s absolutely nothing.<\/p>\n

I was in the gym and Jimmy came in and he was hungry. He’s generally
always hungry.<\/p>\n

He came in and said “Dude let’s go to all you can eat Chinese
food.” I didn’t say anything. Then Big Ed said okay, cool.<\/p>\n

Then Anthony said okay. They looked at me and I was like “No
I have to work out, I can’t and plus it’s not my f.r.e.e day.”<\/p>\n

Side note: I body build non competitively. NO I don’t put grease
all over my body and NO I don’t wear those shorts on stage. I do
it as a hobby and do NOT actually go into competitions.<\/p>\n

Back to the story, they were like what??? “Let’s go….forget
f.r.e.e days.”<\/p>\n

I explained how I couldn’t go, I had to train, I had work to
do, I am not hungry, I am not going to just drop my workout,
etc. etc.<\/p>\n

Jimmy was like “Dude, take your skirt off and let’s go.”<\/p>\n

NOTE-Take off your skirt is like slang. It suggests that
since I won’t go, I must be a woman, therefore wearing a shirt
and if I take it off, I will go. Make sense? Probably not
but just keep reading.<\/p>\n

We went back and forth. He was seriously trying to coerce
me into going to all you can eat tons and tons of
Chinese food.<\/p>\n

I said no and then he got all confused and walked away kind of mad.<\/p>\n

What’s this have to do with bipolar disorder?<\/p>\n

Thinking about how I said no to Jimmy made me think of bipolar
disorder. For some reason, it seems that many people have friends
that give people advice that works against your ultimate goal.<\/p>\n

If you have bipolar disorder, you might be told, stay up late,
do whatever you want, you only live once. My mom has been told
this. This is BAD ADVICE. Friends tell you stuff that goes
against what you really should be doing.<\/p>\n

If you are a supporter, friends might tell you to abandon your loved
one, give up on them, take your loved one to the city all night long and party and drink, or something that makes no sense at all.<\/p>\n

You have to stand firm and put your foot down and say no.<\/p>\n

Something that runs counter to what you feel is right. As a side
note in my course at:<\/p>\n

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

I offer f.r.e.e. consultation certificates for NON medical
and NON legal questions. I have found that most people that
use them, and what my advice or opinion on something already know
the answer and are looking for someone to validate what they
already know.<\/p>\n

With that said, I want you to think about this?<\/p>\n

How many friends have given you bad advice about dealing
with bipolar disorder? Whether you are a supporter or have
the disorder yourself?<\/p>\n

THINK and then scroll down…<\/p>\n

You really have to be careful. I don’t know why this is, but
many people that are suppose to be friends give bad advice. I
believe this is because some secretly don’t want you to do
well or to get ahead of where they are. It’s really strange.<\/p>\n

NO I don’t have paranoid personality disorder. I first
figure this out reading a book called Think and Grow Rich
about 18 years ago.<\/p>\n

In the book the author asserts that the worst people to
bring a new idea to is your friends because they will
shoot it down.<\/p>\n

This is really true. Think about any good idea you’ve had
related to bipolar disorder and if you tell many, they will
tell you the 83 reasons it won’t work.<\/p>\n

For example, let’s say you’re new to my list, your loved one
isn’t doing well. You find my site. You say, “Hey I found
this site and this guy David has a system to help me
help my loved one. I think this is the answer.”<\/p>\n

Most likely they will say “Oh no, that won’t work. Oh it’s a scam.
No way. You’ve tried everything. He’s probably just after your
m.o.n.e.y”<\/p>\n

It’s really funny. My brother, who doesn’t speak to anyone any
more is like this.<\/p>\n

I will NEVER forget this. I told him I invented a way for my
mom to protect her c.r.e.d.i.t, get out of d.e.b.t and fix
her finances. It in this system at http:\/\/www.bipolarcentral.com\/debtletter<\/a><\/p>\n

He said and I quote “Don’t waste your time. There’s no hope
for her.”<\/p>\n

That really made me mad. And I am happy to report that my mom’s
almost out of debt and did so by herself, following the system
I made for her. Even though I made the system, SHE DID IT HERSELF.<\/p>\n

You know what? I just looked at the clock and I have to eat
get ready in only 12 minutes.<\/p>\n

I will catch you tomorrow or later today.<\/p>\n

Your Friend,<\/p>\n

Dave<\/p>\n

P.P.S. I am going to make “Say no to Jimmy tee shirts
and give them out in the gym . LOL”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
