Bipolar Success Story
Published: Tue, 11/27/12
Hi ,
How's it going for you today?
I hope it's a good day for you.
I wanted to share an email that I got recently
with you:
"I have been diagnosed wirh Bipolar for 14 years,
had the same job for 14 years, people meet me
who meet and some who know me have no idea
that I have bipolar, I also been in thearpy for it
too for 14 years .. I am blessed that I have been
able to afford my med, If you can't afford meds
you can contact the company who make them and
you can get it free or what you can afford. Yes you
can say that I am blessed, I know what I have and
I know how to treat it. Before I knew that I had
bipolar, I was a basket case, rages, up and down
moods. I knew something was wrng. You can say
that I am blessed. Iam not ashamed to say that I
have bipolar. I am been stable for 14 years."
--------------------------------------------------------------
You have no idea how much this email lifted my
spirits!
I get so many emails that are just the opposite.
I get emails that are just horror stories.
You wouldn't believe some of the emails I get.
And I feel so sorry for these people.
All I can do is keep writing these emails like I do
and hopefully help some people.
At least in some small way.
Sometimes people tell me it helps in a big way,
and that makes me feel good.
But to get an email from a bipolar success story like
this...
Well, it really did lift my spirits.
I wanted to share it with you because I know being
a supporter of a loved one with bipolar disorder you
can get discouraged sometimes.
I know, because I did with my mom.
Sometimes you can even feel like there's no hope
for your loved one.
But I wanted you to see by this email that there IS
hope!
This person has been stable for 14 YEARS!
Can you imagine that?
WOW!
14 YEARS!
That's incredible!
But what I liked about their email is that they told
about some of the things they do to stay stable.
Like the things I talk about in my courses/
systems below:
SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?

SUPPORTING A CHILD/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?

HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?

The essential things, of course.
Like taking medication.
They even talked about how you could get
your medication if you can't afford it.
And that's true -
Many drug companies now have Patience
Assistance Programs.
You can either get their phone number from your
pharmacist or off the Internet.
Then you can just call them directly and ask how
to get help with your medication.
You'll be able to get it for little or sometimes even
no money!
I know some people have even been able to get help
this way even though they had insurance but the
insurance wouldn't cover their bipolar medication.
It's worth a try.
The other main thing this person talked about that's
kept them stable for 14 years is the fact that they've
been in therapy that whole time.
Your loved one doesn't have to be in therapy for
their bipolar disorder.
It's not like having to take medication or anything.
There's no "rule" that says they have to.
But I'll tell you this -
I've talked to a LOT of bipolar success stories...
And in virtually EVERY case...
They were in therapy for their bipolar disorder.
It just goes without saying that it's a tool that can
help your loved one deal with their bipolar disorder
better.
That's because the therapist works with the issues
that surround your loved one's bipolar disorder.
Think there isn't hope for your loved one?
Just remember this person who's been stable for 14
years!
What do you think?
