Thank
you for letting me read Bernard's "The Bipolar 4 Life lifestyle Program".
I
wish there were more people who could understand the effects of lifestyle
on the
functioning
of the brain/psyche and how much we could all do to ensure better quality
of life and
function.
Bernard
has an excellent program.
Congratulate
him and wish him well with his on-going development

I
have known Bernard for over 10 years. I mentioned to him recently that
our friendship seems to be
intense
and crazy the one minute and the next it’s cool and distant. He
simply says: ‘welcome to being
friends
with a Bipolar.’ I can’t say that it’s always easy being
friends with him, but I think that has a lot
to
do with me and my expectations. When I let go those expectations and just
allow him to be, it’s
easier
for both of us. And that sounds like a good recipe for any relationship.
Towards
the end of 2006 Bernard was in a really bad space due to personal circumstances.
The change
in
him since then and particularly over the past few months has been almost
unbelievable. Physically he
looks
good: clear skin, bright eyes. His voice is clearer. He is positive and
full of life. And most
importantly
he has the internal mental and emotional reserves to deal with what is
happening in his life
right
now.
His
lifestyle programme for Bipolar is a simple one. It doesn’t require
any special equipment or food. What
it
does require is a commitment to yourself and the potential that you have.
It is not a quick fix; it’s
a way of life that can complement any therapy that you are currently using.
Good luck on your personal journey. Remember that you are the lead actor in your own life – go out and
live it for all you are worth.
