Is This True About David Oliver?
Published: Sat, 05/30/09
Hi,
How's it going?
It's not going well for me. I actually
have strep throat. I had to go
to the doctor yesterday.
I feel better today. It took a lot of
energy for me to send this out.
This is why I am sending the daily email out
so late.
Someone wrote me that I am really,
really negative and try to scare
people.
They said that with reports and
guides like: Bipolar Disorder--
The REAL Silent Killer, and
others like it...
Where I tell the shocking truth
about this and that related to
bipolar disorder...
The x mistakes for this and that...
Deadly this and that...
Anyway, you have seen some of
my titles for reports and such.
So someone said that I am negative
and trying to scare people.
Well the truth is, I am trying to
scare people, if that's what it takes.
I am trying to get them to take
bipolar disorder seriously.
Why?
Well, when I started, I saw so
many people who took their own
life, went home less, lost EVERYTHING
or destroyed their family...
And I came to the conclusion
that many people thought that
bipolar disorder was no big deal.
My own dad didn't even think that it
was a big deal until I explained that
it was...
After my mom finally got diagnosed
after over 35 years of struggling with
bipolar disorder.
Now that's a big deal, don't you think?
And I've heard so many stories from
people saying the same thing.
Like that they've had it all their lives,
but weren't diagnosed until they
were older, and everyone missed it,
and they suffered all those years
when they didn't have to...
All because no one thought it was
any big deal.
Well, if you're a supporter of a loved
one with bipolar disorder, you
KNOW it's a big deal.
In my courses/systems, I try to show
people what a big deal bipolar disorder
really is. I try to educate them.

I think educating people is the best
way to help them see what a big
deal bipolar disorder really is.
People just don't understand, in general.
I heard of this one lady, and this is a
true story.
She was out shopping with her husband.
Now she has bipolar disorder, but her
husband doesn't - he's her supporter.
And a lady she knew came up to her and
started talking to her about this woman
she knew.
She was saying that this other woman was
a real "witch," so "she must have bipolar
disorder."
Yea, she really did say those words (only
she didn't say witch, if you know what
I mean).
So this lady who was telling the story
turned to her husband and said,
"Honey, I'm not like that, am I?"
And her husband said, "No, you're
not like that at all."
And she turned back to the woman
and said, "I'm not like that, and I
have bipolar disorder."
And she said that the woman turned
all kinds of shades of red.
See what I mean?
This other woman who was saying
all this stuff didn't think bipolar disorder
was any big deal.
She knew nothing about it, or she
wouldn't have said that the woman
she was talking about it must have
it, just because she was a "witch."
But the lady who was telling this story
used that opportunity to educate the
woman about bipolar disorder, showing
her that you can meet anyone on the
street and they can look and act as
"normal" as anyone else and still
have the disorder.
Have you ever had an experience
like this?
How did you handle it?
Do you agree with me that it's not that
I'm negative, but that bipolar disorder
really IS a big deal?
