Try to do a Ted Talk?????

Jesus. I just wrote a long comment and then lost it ahhhhh. Ok so I said you should, if you can contact a Discriminatory Body near you. Make an appointment. Go in. Talk to them. It may be a start to a solution. I said that I was going through a similar process as you from an employee perspective. I’m with the Ed De in Australia. Can you still come on and chat with us? You have done a brilliant job with your 2023 resolution of keeping up with the KZbin videos. It’s been very helpful to me. Like you, I know that we often loose sight of the things that we have ACTUALLY achieved. In your talk you mentioned sooo many things you have achieved this year and spoke of them as though they were nothing!!! They are not nothing!!! You have come a long way. What about giving yourself a go and trying a big spirt of weight training to shift a pound and get under 200. It may be a good incentive. One more boost from me…we, we find it soo hard when we start on the downward spiral. I DO understand. I also have family and marriage difficulties to boot. Let’s keep going and support each other and get through this Tyler. Lean on your support. Keep going. You will get through.

How far are you in school?

Do you think it’s the holidays creeping up

just came out of another 3 month manic episode. lost my apartment and am rebuilding all over again. thanks for being here. love you man. ❤

Tyler, stay strong, on your meds, and be happy. You are a remarkable person.

I wasn’t diagnosed until my fifties

I hope you are able to get back into the University. I am so sorry that you are going through this. I hope you are able to find a solution.

I really wish you luck Tyler. I am going through Workers Compensation for a similar reason.

Is it possible to not work at the cash register but do everything else?

Tyler Adolfo, I love you. You are so strong and such a virtuous, wise person. I get you. I get it. I'm still finding out what's wrong with me but sometimes I'm just like how you were. I thought I was JFK reincarnated. I ramble for hours to myself. I love debate. I am the Second Coming of Christ. I'm a danger to others and myself, apparently. I admire you a lot. I love comedy, politics, performance. I'm in college, like you were, trying to keep my grip on reality, trying to be aware of myself so as not to ruin my life more than I already have. I can't tell you in confidence I don't still think these things. I don't think I've felt 'normal' and not held 'abnormal' or 'dangerous' beliefs for a long time. The past couple of years were rough for me, really rough, and at the beginning of this year something snapped in my brain and I ended up on a terrorists register for sending a very long winded, desperate, violent bomb threat to my college. And not for the first time. I told them everything in my desperation and I was put in psychosis evaluation, I was having meetings for weeks while they tried to figure out an answer. I thought I was going to die. I thought God was speaking through me and that the only answer to my suffering was violence. I wasn't allowed out of the house alone, for weeks. My family still doesn't trust me, thinks I'm weird, cause of the stuff I've done, the way I've acted. Almost a year later, and I still don't have an answer. But I really feel you. Although our experiences aren't exactly the same I know the fear and the euphoria and the soul-crushing comedown to the real world that hurts like being hit by a thousand trucks. I can't even explain it. But I found your channel this summer and every video you put out really speaks to me. You're inspiring. And a great speaker, too. I wish you the best for the future and I hope I can find even an ounce of the courage and level-headedness you appear to have come out of your struggle with. And that you're still battling and still going strong and not giving up, and not only that but you're trying to educate and help other people. Which is incredibly altruistic. I have to stop now cause I've gone on for too long and could go on forever but I really do wish you the best and I find you very inspiring and helpful.

I just got hired at a dollar tree I start tomorrow after someone quit last week without notice

I do not have bipolar disorder but I have been diagnosed with ADHD in my late 30s. However, I can relate to A LOT of the things you said. There are some parallels with ADHD/depression and bipolar disorder. It has been exhausting having my career start and fizzle out multiple times. I had to adapt to multiple job firings and lay offs. Before getting treatment for my ADHD, I found I was always in “crisis mode”. I have paranoia of potentially losing my job or friendships because it has happened so many times in the past. I have been taking treatment for ADHD for several years now (off and on), I own a condo in a major city (of which I purchased on impulse when I could not get my ADHD medication filled due to the ongoing chronic shortages). I have held my current 6-figure career for 5+ years only due to the fact management was very accommodating to my outbursts and temperament. I can say trying to plant yourself in this world with any mental disorder, from ADHD, Bipolar, depression, etc is extremely difficult, but you CAN do it! I like that you place yourself in other people’s shoes because doing so puts a pause for us to analyze and rethink or reactions. We can try and control our reactions. I can’t control what others may think of me, and I am fine with that!

One thing I’ve learned from living with bipolar disorder is how to be more realistic and honest with myself. During a hypomanic episode, I made mistakes-I hit on two people who were already in relationships. At the time, I was extremely unhappy in my own relationship and, deep down, I wanted to leave and start something new. Since then, I’ve left that toxic relationship, and I’ve worked hard to recognize patterns in my behavior, like frustration over not getting enough attention or fear of rejection. These are tied to my insecurities, and instead of avoiding them, I’ve started to accept them as part of who I am. Even though I really struggle with this disorder and sometimes hate it, I’ve made it a priority to find some good within the bad. It’s teaching me resilience, self-awareness, and the importance of personal growth.

Bro, where did you get that shirt? I dig it

There’s nothing wrong with being a conspiracy theorist. It’s good to question authority, as long as your theories don’t become obsessions. I fell into the Tacmars conspiracy theory 20 years ago, which has no merit. I spent way too much time looking at the back of street signs on the opposite side of the road.

I used to be big into conspiracy theories especially that website vigilant citizen. I think that fed into my bipolar because I used to believe that the police were after me.

Thank you so much for sharing this❤

Have you made amends with your friends?

Im 34 and i am still a conspiracy theorist. But i have seen a mate that was very close, go down the rabbit hole too far combined with what was going on his life at the time it put him into a mad psychosis it took him well over a year (nearly 2y) to even interact with us on the outside. The good news is hes working again and coming back to normal. One of his things was that the moon face looked like him and that he could control reality. (Not conspiracy but that was part of psychosis)

I recently talked to my psychiatrist, and they’re increasing my medication by 25mg. I’m a bit nervous because I don’t want to end up in a hypomanic episode. Once, I accidentally took extra meds and felt extremely happy-but later realized it was hypomania. The bad thing about bipolar is that sometimes you don't notice you have symptoms until it's too late. I feel like someone has taken over my body for a few day and then vanishes, when describing bipolar. Thankfully, my therapist encouraged me to call them anytime I need support. I’ve heard Lamotrigine can trigger hypomania when the dosage is adjusted, so I’m staying cautious. I do struggle with clumsiness on this medication, but at least my memory seems fine. Weight gain with bipolar meds can be frustrating-I gained over 20 pounds at one point, but switching to a weight-neutral option helped me lose it. Despite the risks, it’s worth it for a stable mind. Stability is the ultimate reward!

Mark Twain said, if youre a cat lover, we are insteatly friends and confederates, no further introduction needed.

Tyler, i enjoy hearing about your pit falls in life. I too am bi-polar and have had things in the past happen while being manic / depressed that i regret. My best advise is to just move on. Its over, knowone really cares. Life in today

This made me smile

Smokie joe. ❤my boy.

I hate cats!

I had an all black cat named Smokey . He was special . I got him as an adult because he basically was a wild cat that someone was neglecting. I had never had a cat that was both indoor and outdoor . There was no way I would have kept him from going outside to chill with his homies. Well last week he was hit and killed and I’m so devastated about the whole thing RIP SMOKEY
