Bipolar Disorder
And The Meds Used To Treat It
Were Both Killing Me!
Dear Friend,
I never felt like I fit in. I couldn't seem to develop that large group of friends others did. I often felt uncomfortable in my own skin and had low level obsessive-compulsive habits. I was smart yet hated school. I began drinking from an early age as my family tree taught me that this was how men behaved and this was how life worked. This was how problems got solved.
Drinking allowed me to make that big group of friends. I was the life of the party, or I hung out with a crowd that was not so picky about who they let in. But either way, I still felt like I was on the outside.
Then I joined the Marines...
Details Don't Matter So Much.
My Story Probably Matches Many Parts Of YOUR Story.
That's Both Bad and GOOD For You!
Being a Marine and a Gulf War vet is an honor that to this day, fills me with a great sense of pride and accomplishment. But while I was "in," I was frequently miserable.
The discipline required of us on a day-to-day basis, was sucking the heart right out of me. I had the soul of both a killer and a free spirit. I, like my friends, was a living irony within the Corps. Either way, I simply wanted to be unleashed. In retrospect, my bipolar was beginning to surface during these years. I reached out for help once. Problem was, being a little crazy in the Marines didn't really stand out so much. The doc wasn't any help and I sidestepped what was happening in my mind, incredibly bad though it was. I was not aware of how much trouble I truly was in.
I Began To Fill The Hours Wrongly...
...I Became a Master of Self-Medication.
Drugs and alcohol made everything better...for awhile.
(Any of this sounding somewhat familiar?)
I paid a heavy price for my behavior in my late teens and early twenties, then sort of stabilized for a few years.
But somewhere around age 27 the list of things that pissed me off started growing bigger and the size of qualification for making that list was becoming smaller.
It was around this time when I became diagnosed as bipolar.
Thus Began My 6-Year Odyssey of Massive Medication Consumption
I was prescribed every single drug that might have an effect on my illness and sometimes, drugs that the doctor and I both knew wouldn't help but were prescribed out of desperation. Long story short, the meds began destroying me and the illness only grew stronger.
In the end, I was given 6 months to live. Bipolar was causing me to do things that would assuredly end my life within that time frame.
I came home scared, knowing I was going to die an awful death that would make the papers. This is when the Marine in me woke up.
Marines Don't QUIT! Marines Don't FAIL!
EVER!
This is how we're trained. This attitude is what helped, in part, to save my life.
This Is When I Began To Fight My way Back To Wellness
YOU Do Not Have To Be A Marine To Do What I Did
But you can rest easy knowing you now have one who will lead you from the
Pit of Despair
to the Land of Normal.

Will this be easy and fast? No. It goes quicker for some than others but it will take time and patience along with the actual doing of the steps. That is only realistic. Some of you may get relief astoundingly quick. Some of you, as I did, may have a long fight yet. But you will do so in the knowledge that someone else has gone before you and made his way out. And he did it because he knew of thousands who'd gone before him. It IS possible!
I Eventually DID Find An Answer!
Not only did I find a way back to sanity, I also found sides of me I never knew existed! I only dared hope for minor relief, to be honest. But I made it back to Zero and then went on to excel in absolutely every area of my life!
Now YOU Have The Answer Too!

Read what Sarah, my very first client, said about, "TORQUE BACK™: Make Bipolar a Thing of Your Past." |

Hey Ken, ...being at the "end of my own rope" (...almost literally...), I took your advice and got into the program. That was on July 15th of this year. After 20 years of taking damn near every psychotropic medication out there under direction from loads of different professionals and doctors and psychiatrists...I NEVER felt ANY relief from my bipolar symptoms. The psych-meds actually made me worse off...I will even go so far as to say they may have been killing me. THREE MONTHS on TORQUE BACK™ and entirely OFF of ALL psych-meds and drugs...I am a completely different person. I am a different man. I get out of the house EVERY DAY, I am active in the community, I am thinking more clearly, I am able to feel and live free of the druggie effects of the medications. I have some 'off days', that's to be expected, BUT, these days are few and far in between the days I am living my life happy and aware. Sweet relief...man, I embrace it with all I got. I owe this positive progress in my own recovery to the alternative methods to recovery I have learned from your site, talking with you, reading your blogs, watching your videos and doing what I need to do to stay active and healthy. THREE MONTHS! Last February, March and April...I was in the psychiatric ward of the local hospital 3 different times and in and out of the Emergency Room too many times to count searching for relief of any kind. I FINALLY found it and it was not where I was looking for it...imagine that! Chalk me up on the boards as a living specimen of recovery through healthy alternatives "beyond the box" of what I was told was the ONLY options for me for 20 years. Thanks for the direction. It can only get better. --Jon-- |
