With Bipolar Sometimes You Have to Do This
Published: Tue, 10/25/11
Hi ,
How's your day going?
I hope it's a good day for you.
I have some bad news.
I have been completely ripped
off. There was a guy who totally
ripped me off for $1200 -- which
is a LOT of money.
I put my faith in him to do some
programming work.
It ended in me being ripped off.
I wasted weeks and weeks of time
being mad at him, thinking about
ways to report him in India.
I actually have several, but they
all take lots of time (that I can't
spare).
Then I said to myself, I might as
well let it go.
There's no point. I have so many
other things to do.
Now, that doesn't make what
this guy did acceptable. It
definitely is not.
But someone told me, "Dave,
you have to pick your fights."
So I decided to let this go,
even though it cost me so
much money.
I didn't think it was a fight
I could win.
Now many of you have bipolar
disorder have had bad doctors.
Bad therapists. Bad hospitals.
You have had bad experiences,
for sure.
You may be mad at these people
right now. You may even want
to get back at them.
But like the advice I got, I'm
telling you, "You have to pick
your fights."
In other words, if you don't
have the time or money, or if
you can't win, then let it go.
Many of you contact me for
a plan on how to get back at the
people and places that wronged
you or your loved ones.
In almost every case, I tell
you to move on. It's not worth
the time and money to do this.
Using your time wisely, to the
betterment of you and your
loved one is what my courses/
systems are about.

Today's lesson is about moving
on to something good.
In my own case:
I already found another programmer
to replace the con artist that I
was dealing with.
In my mother's case:
When it came to my mom, her
last doctor was HORRIBLE.
I moved on and found a great
new doctor, one she has had for
FIVE years now!
If I spent too much time dealing
with the old doctor, I would have
never found the good new
doctor.
See what I mean?
In your case (possibly):
The one area I hear most about
as the biggest problem for a loved
one with bipolar disorder is not
being able to get their medications.
Now, you can't pick a fight with
your doctor, and fighting with
your pharmacist isn't going to
help you either.
But there are better ways to
get what you need.
Stay on the good side of your
doctor, make sure he knows
what's going on.
He may be able to help you
out with samples or go to
the insurance company for
you.
You may be mad at the drug
manufacturer, but not only
will that not do you any good,
it can also blow a good chance
for you -
Today, most pharmaceutical
manufacturers will provide
your medication for little to
no money.
So, see how picking a fight
in this case wouldn't be
right for you?
Only pick fights you can win,
otherwise let them go.
Have you been in a situation
where it wasn't fair to you
and you fought it?
What happened?
