When Erika and I got to talking, we both sat back and realized … “Wow, we don’t get to write about anything other than other people’s questions.” Not that we don’t enjoy it, it’s just sometimes, we have something to say that has nothing to do with questions. Then I got a message from someone asking if we allow guest posts and I was all like, “Ummmmmm…”
Needless to say, we needed to reexamine our ideas about posting and what we wanted to make of our blog. Clearly this is difficult when the title of the blog IS Ask a Bipolar. Are we still fulfilling our purpose if not EVERY post is answering a question?
The answer we came up with (since we are so spectacular at answering stuff) was ABSOLUTELY!!!
I mean, sometimes people don’t know what to ask, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t looking for answers. And although we are super fantastic and all, I can imagine that reading something with a new voice every now and again would be kind of refreshing. (Plus, absence DOES makes the heart grow fonder 
)
So our brilliant minds devised a plan to take over the world that will allow all of the above things to happen!
We have created a weekly schedule of how we intend to post. Now keep in mind that this MAY delay some answers. So if you guys don’t agree with this schedule let us know! (Also keep in mind that ANY questions that need to be answered sooner than we are able to post, we will always answer via email.)
The schedule is as follows:
- Monday – Thursday – we will be answering your questions!
- Friday - we will be asking YOU (our readers) a question. After all, this website is about YOU! (And we like other peoples opinions once in awhile too.)
- Saturday – I (Marybeth) will be posting something of my choice relating to bipolar disorder.
- Sunday – Erika will be posting something of her choice relating to bipolar disorder.
And each month we will substitute a Friday post or ours with a Guest Post of yours. Since this is all very new, and because we are bipolar and have a tendency to not follow the rules, our first guest post will be tomorrow!
So weigh in … what do you think? Does this new schedule make you want to throw things at us? Or does it make you want to stand up and dance to Michael Jackson’s, “Thriller”? (What? It’s a cool dance!) Or are you all, “meh” about it?
Let us know!!!
With Love,
PS…Check out the Forum we added? What do you think. Should be up and running by Monday!

The easier solution would be in changing title of the blog
to that of “CoPiNg WiTh BiPoLaR” and let what comes.
Having BiPoLaR what you have done as to be expected
is gone to the extreme / as having made up a halfbaked
weekly schedule which will but / confuse the few whom
never before suffered from confusion / thus now asking
themselves I’m I BiPoLaR? or is it Alzheimers Disease.
Just keep a simple open blog // answering questions as
let others answer questions/ or give questions // just try
not go to extremes of control // relax let things balance
themselves /// this be the problem with the BiPoLaR in
not allowing the chemical balance // its not that their be
any difference in the chemical structure of an brain / its
in balancing of the chemicals that seen as the problem.
HOWEVER in truth thats not realy a problem / it be that
some are very happy having the extremes of behaviour
its but others whom convince otherwise saying to them
YOUR CHILDS NOT NORMAL ?? // where reality being
there no such thing as NORMAL its just that people are
different .. One does not say because they be a minority
THAT PEOPLE WITH BLUE EYES ARE NOT NORMAL
THUS THEY SHOULD BE GIVEN MEDICATION THAT
CHANGING COLOUR OF THEIR EYES TO BROWN.
We should more accept people differ on their approach
to the human journey unto their spiritual enlightenment.
In truth one could put the arguement THAT EXTREME
PERIODS OF EMOTIONS // FAR MORE ADVANCED
BEHAVIOUR THAN OF VERY MIXED EMOTIONS / IT
COULD BE BiPoLaR IN TRUTH BY FAR THE WISER
MENTAL STATE BE TOWARDS ONES WELL BEING.
Humanity having developed over millions upon millions
of years through genetic pooling / we adapt to changes
as the periods see fit // thus in time attain our real goal
that of our spiritual enlightenment where all knowledge
being revealed unto the very essence core of creation.
In reaching such stage it will matter little being BiPoLaR
If one be brown eyed /blue eyed / tall / short / fat / or thin
being a rollover lottery winner / beggar / priest / or a king.
ONE WILL BE SIMPLY SO FULL OF JOY TO NOTICE.

Marybeth / one learns more from the mistakes they make
than from their successes / successes can inflate one as
an ballon / where ones failings bring one humility deflation
back to an world of reality reminding of lifes true purpose.
The creation of the universe has but one purpose, that it
sustains the human form/ the purpose of the human form
that via heart / brain … comes ongoing gradual growth in
understanding / experience / over time in bringing great
advancment untoward humanities spiritual enlightenment.
We having traveled a long way on our journey / there’s
been many a tear / as were many times of joy laughter
throughout many lifes / upon the path of enlightenment.
It vital in (lifes) to be given (have) the spiritual guidance
that needed / thus one not be lost in the material realm.
The spiritual teacher at present times be (prem rawat).
On pc search put in (words of peace) as (prem rawat
foundation) both sites having (prem rawat) speak at
depth of spiritual growth //understanding / experience.
It important to remind in spiritual development one is
not given anything / rather its revealed that which one
already having / that which long buried under a pile of
material gatherings collected over the many centuries.
Thus the vital need of a spiritual teacher that can aid
in your development in understanding as experience.
ps. I add (prem rawat) not only a spiritual teacher he
be the teacher of teachers thus humanity is blessed.

The schedule is great, but I won’t hold you to it. If one of you wants to write something else on the “wrong” day – go right ahead. I’ll read what ever you want to tell me. Thanks for helping me understand my daughter a little better.
