Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
This column is a message to the media expecailly to that idiot of a Geraldo Rivera.Every time there is a high publicized crime Rivera and all these talk shows hosts blame the bi polar people.This is sickening and this has got to stop.We cant blame a mental disorder for the 77 year old bank robber.That senior citizen turned to crime because he couldnt keep up with his mortgage payment...now he is bi -polar! GIVE ME A BREAK! I f you are having trouble with the mortgages...shouldnt you go and talk to the people in the bank? Shouldnt you write a letter to the lender and ask him (for the time ) being to lower the payments? Shouldnt you? This was one solution.ANother solution that I would do is to sell the house and move into a town house.At 77,a person doesnt need to pay all of these taxes and school taxes to boot.Why is he paying all these taxes? It is the middle of the month and i am broke already but expenses have come up and i had to pay them,so I am selling all of Brads tapes and such and having some money.I am having a garage sale and such.I am selling the VCR and tv.I dont use them.Why didnt he think of these options? Another case in the news is the employee in seattle who was fired....And what does he do? This person (who is now) bi polar set the business on fire? He actually set the business on fire? Now is this normal? Look...anger is a sin.But this employee are fired because apparently he was performing the job well.And you have to perform a job well in this economy.And there are 5 signs that you are going to get fired......let me tell them as they were explained to me.....How do you know you are going to get
fired? The first answer is .....1.A change in management.If there is a change in management and there are plenty of them today...it is up to you
to sit down and talk to the manager.If you are not doing the job well,he has got the right to tell you.And he has to tell you what your weak spots are.2.
The old manager doesnt talk to you nomore.When this happens,he is on the verge of making a bold decision.And if he doesnt talk to you anymore.he is secretly thinking of firing you.3.Constant lateness.Lateness is a problem in seattle.I see these people all the time.They are either running for the bus and some of them are glued to their i-pods.Is your music that important you would risk being umemployed? 4.reading of e mail on company time.If you are on company time...it is none of your business what the boss does.But you dont have the right to read or write e mail on company time.Why? Because this is stealing and if you steal company time...would you shoplift and say thats a right to? 5.Facebook.I am 62 years old and at this time of my life..I am just enjoying my life now.I was shy almost all of my life.Life is for the living.Not the dead and we must learn to live with other people..but it is not necessary to tell all of your business on Facebook.Noone knows where I live and thats the way it is going to be.And these were listed in the paper.....6.cell phones.Cell phones are a wonderful thing.However,employers have been complaining to me and the supervisors at meetings that there employee spends too much time on the cell phone.Dont take your cell phone with you.Give it a rest and dont use company time to make personal calls.This is what a break is for.However,,if you feel you are unjustly fired..shouldnt you go to the local labor board and file a grievance? Why burn a business down? Does make this person bi polar ? ANother case is a woman who stole 77,000 dollars from the bank.Now she is called bi polar! Good Grief! This lady made more money then me and steals 77,000 because she claims that the cancer treatment her mother got wasnt covered by insurance! Now I dont want to sound cruel,,but what about going to DHS and asking them for options? And if you cant afford,how about fund raising? How about having a garage sale or raising money at the local 7-11? How about having a bake sale or selling some of your clothes? Now what makes me angry these people are now bi polar including Tiger Woods Mistresses.When it comes to Tiger Woods...to me he isnt that good looking and why arent these women working? Is Tiger Woods that important? And why are these people called bi-polar when they knew what they are doing is wrong? Why is bi-polar people the risk of this witch hunt? And who are these people to accuse? Bi Polar people are law abidding citizen and we are excellant wives ,husbands and mothers.i pride my self of being a great aunt to 9 nieces and nephews and I will say with tears in my eyes....they are the finest young people on the face of the
earth and I am thrilled to be their great aunt.In fact,one of my great nieces is Annie.Annie was adopted and Annie got a 4.0 average all during high school.She respected me and she never drank,smokes or take drugs.Annie WANTS TO WORK FOR NASA.She may got to the Univertsity Of Albama....and I have to let her go.To see her blossom into this fine young person makes me proud and all adopted children dont grow up to be serial killers like Ted Bundy.Some are wonderful.So lets concentrate on them.Lets stop calling these jackasses bi polar and let us admit some people are using bi polar as en excuse not to face up with their duties.So let us untine and fight this discrimation and leave us bi polar who are really bi polar and i am in mania now and It has been a whirl wind and leave us alone.

I don'[t consider these emanations from tv personalities to be discrimination. Like Gerald, who is more entertainment/titillation than factual discourse, we can discount whatever focus these persons provide. Yes, there are BPs who rob banks and kill people and only the ignorant would apply that behavior to all BPs.
