Hello My Friend
My name is Jerry Wipf and I am creating this Blog so I can communicate with other people who are going through the same things I am when it comes to a loved one with Bi-polar.

No one can understand the pain and suffering associated with this disease if they do not have a loved one who has bi-polar or if they do not have bi-polar themselves.

If you are reading this and you have Bi-Polar please understand that I respect you and even though I do not know you personally I feel your pain. I deal with the difficulties of this disease on a daily basis. I have a family member who is very dear to me who has this disease and my NEW way of coping with it (I Hope) is this blog.

I have run out of resources. My friends do not understand what my brother is going through. Instead it seems like he is constantly the latest juicy gossip story at the local restaurant instead of a “How can we help” solution.

God knows we love our family. God knows I love my brother but…how it hurts me when my brother calls me and he mentions the latest invention that he has invented. The latest airplane that he will own. The latest BILLION dollar business he is going to start. The million dollar ranch he is building. The ten million dollars worth of stock he has in the bank. For me as his older brother whom he respects and loves to sit there and listen and tell him that it will not happen hurts so very badly.

Please post here and let me know how you cope with this problem. I have a long history with this with my brother and I am sure I will share more in later blogs. For now I just needed to talk to someone and get it out of my system. I had an EXTREMELY HORRIBLE episode today with my brother. I love my brother but the hospital that has been helping him can only do so much. He can not be monitored like I would like to monitor him because he lives in a different state with no family around him. Just bad influences.

Thank For Reading This and Please lets share together and help each other and others like us. We love our families and we want the best for them.

I want to print out all the comments this blog gets and show them to my brother so he knows others care. He has a good heart and I know he will appreciate it.

Here is a picture of my brother.

My Brother Will

With Love and Concern

Jerry
