Here is a direct article from Dime Wars. It’s the first time I’ve seen a gossip article show some compassion and understanding about Charlie Sheen and his very public manic meltdown.
Here is the text from the article:
Charlie Sheen – Actor Charlie Sheen is changing the face of Hollywood. Charlie Sheen has remained defiant and continues to hold up his middle finger to Hollywood. What does Charlie Sheen get in return? Potentially $7 million dollars in one month.
TMZ reports that “Charlie Sheen Live: My Violent Torpedo of Truth” tour will bring in $7 million dollars in one month for the star.
Sources connected with the concert tour tell us … the deal is for Charlie to perform on 21 dates. He’ll get 85% of the profits, with Live Nation getting the remaining 15%. Charlie’s cut is projected to average between $250,000 – $275,000 for each show.
And there’s more … Charlie will get additional $$$ for after-parties and merchandising with 200,000 pieces of merchandise already shipped out for the show.
In all, we’re told Charlie will pull in $7 million in a month.
And here is the last sentence: finally- so reasonable reporting:
But we think the bigger question here is, will Charlie Sheen survive his own tour??

Is the media finally listening? Have they gotten scared enough and realized that their behavior and exploitation could lead to his death? Those of us with bipolar know what comes after this upswing. We know the despair and embarrassment he will feel when he comes down.
I would rather be poor, stable and out of the public eye than have $7 million dollars becuase of a public humiliation.
I look at his worn out and sunken in face and my heart aches for Charlie Sheen. This is what I have seen in others who are going through a dysphoric manic episode.

What about you? Do you think that Charlie Sheen can survive his Charlie Sheen live tour?

I hope so – but my question is where are his family? Friends? Surely someone is around to guide this poor guy. If my mania was all over the TV – for the world to see, that down-swing he’s about to ride would certainly kill me! I’ve tried (and fortunately failed) for a lot less.

I don’t think he will survive…it just seems like an awfully long time to stay on such a “focused” manic high and public display. At some point it is going to end, and he’ll come crashing down, unable to get out of bed…let alone get up on stage and further humiliate and degrade himself in order to entertain others.
I wish someone could intervene on his behalf…but I know how hard it is to be stopped when you’re manic. I was so sad when I heard about his tour. I hope it doesn’t kill him, but I can’t see him making all 21 shows.
This isn’t about charlie sheen-it is a new topic.
does anyone know of any resources on the east coast for those who want to explore minimizing their use of pharma drugs to manage BP.
I do very well with the ones used in past, combined with good self care.
I don’t want to give up meds totally, but i get bummed out by certain side effects. example-it took me a year and half to lose half of the weight i gained from seroquel. Anyway, I trust my doc, but she is very traditional, and I sometimes wonder, could i reduce my meds and be fine? but i’d want to do this under a holistic but grounded doc, with grounded research. this is my life i’m talking about, I don’t want to make any choices that are ill advised.
any resources or names of docs people? thnx!
I’m struggling to lose the Seroquel weight too. My Doctor reduced the dosage from 300mg to 100 mg. This has helped in the weight loss. Please Please Please don’t try reducing your dosages/drugs on your own. I’ve tried that too many times and wound up high as a kite with mania. Sorry can’t recommend a doctor for you. See if you can find a psych doc with a Doctor of Osteopathy and psychiatry certification — they are trained in holistic medicine/nutrition etc (also fully licensed physicians who can prescribe meds)
