[@lawontrial]

This is a real gift to the world and an act of courage. Hopefully, sometime soon, it will be normal to disclose a mental health difficulty and people will treat that disclosure with the same compassion they would have for any illness. Wishing you and your family peace, health and happiness.

[@imanisteele1920]

As a fellow bipolar woman, thank you for exposing so many all aspects of what it’s truly like to live with bipolar, including the ugly, depressive, Complex, confusing and disorienting, painful, severe-repercussion inducing, exhausting, powerful, intoxicating, dimensions of this illness. I’ve found so often in life, especially when I’m in a hypo-manic state that those around me (more neurotypical or just without bipolar) experience it as something purely fun and at times, something to envy with the perceived lack of inhibition, self confidence, fearlessness, charisma, energy, etc.

[@acasacas9844]

I'm a psychiatric nurse. I loath this disorder. Great moments of disinhibition, joy, false happiness and living in a never land. It stops, and you feel utter shame at what you've done. Imagine spending money you don't have, family bailing you out and again the shame. It's a cruel illness, exposes people to horrible situations and the depression. Horrible life threatening depression. If you experience BPD you have my sympathy. And jou are brave, God bless all you sufferers.

[@gmc5618]

I have BPD, thank you for the work you do supporting your patients.

Thank you for your noble work and dedication. I can’t imagine how must be hard dealing with psych patients. Hats off to you.😊 When my son was confined a year ago for Mania and Psychosis, it was so hard to deal with him. What a devastating illness! My son lost his house, friends, verging to bankruptcy, lost his girlfriend and almost his job! It’s a year of nightmare and we’re still left traumatised by it though the tide is coming around slowly for him. He’s now back to work slowly. We’re so pleased! But what a journey! Fingers crossed it won’t happen again!🥹😢

[@taylordeville8870]

This was amazing. I’m 28 and diagnosed November 22 with bipolar 2. I had three episodes of mania last year with catastrophic consequences. This video was like looking at myself. Once I was diagnosed and could understand wtf was going on, I’ve never taken my health and recovery more seriously than I do now. Thank you for raising awareness

[@jadeyx_]

Thank you for making yourself vulnerable and doing a documentary about this, thank you for educating me on bipolar and the effect of it, I bet this wasn’t easy making so thank you

[@sophiebarden5335]

I have bipolar and also rapid cycle. I was diagnosed when I was 26 and I've hit a low in the last couple of days. Watching this was very emotional for me as so relatable but also extremely comforting. Thank you so much for sharing your story on behalf of all of us living with Bipolar ❤

[@person2225]

I really like the way this doc was made. The interweaving of showing us everyday moments and of Rosie narrating her experiences really felt like I got a good insight into this aspect of her life. Thank you for making yourself vulnerable and talking about your experiences so honestly Rosie

YOU ARE AMAZING! THis is the realist portrayal of Bi Polar I have ever seen! Thank you. As someone diagnosed over 14years ago sending love hugs and prayers ur way. We are not alone. Keep strong 💪🏾

[@aquajuwel7098]

Great documentary. Bipolar type 2 myself and was miss diagnosed for many years because my bipolar is mostly depression, and seldom hypo mania. I was told I just had depression and given antidepressants that just made things worse. After a suicide attempt I got a great psychiatrist who diagnosed me after really taking time with me, he put me on low dose antipsychotics and it has changed my life completely for the better. Bipolar is on a spectrum, i can’t even imagine how bipolar type 1 is like to live with, my psychiatrist told me that of all the psychiatric diagnosis out there, bipolar is the most hard to get right because of the spectrum of mood swings…

[@SummerTenenbaum]

I’m so glad I watched this!! It’s just so refreshing seeing people bring awareness to the wide array of mental health issues. It can be so easy to remain blind to illnesses that don’t have an obvious physical form.

[@triciaw3064]

I feel you sweetheart. I've been diagnosed/re-diagnosed, medicated/re-medicated, and I've been sent from this person to that person for the help that hasn't helped. I was 1st on meds when I was 18, I'm 58 now. I've been told that I was Bipolar, Borderline Personality Disorder, and others, but now they call me EUPD. I don't care what they label me as, so long as they can actually help me. I've been so close to the sectioning wards (more than I want to remember being), but was allowed to go home as I had a dog and lived alone. I don't have that excuse anymore. None of this makes me happy, but at my age, nothing upsets me and could stop me writing this. I wish you nothing but love, trust and happiness always. xXx

You have made a difference ❤

[@JamesMarriott-g3l]

Really brave and really well done. You should be proud of this doc, I relate to so much of your story and wish you all the very best on your journey.

[@carlobrenkman2293]

What a fantastic initiative! Beautiful docudrama. Most sad and painful is the fact that although you have friends, family and professionals who say they care, who try to convince you they understand, never ever call and ask for a change: "Hey, how are you doing? How are you coping with your bipolar I disorder or better said: illness." That'll make you feel so darned alone. I can't describe that. You know, for decennia now, even professors at Yale University are not capable of what bipolar disorder really means. They'll always sum up all 'so called' extreme symptoms, so you already get drawn out like a big looney. They never talk about residual capacity, which is probably the most important thing to judge, to understand as a therapist, how much can this particular patient carry, how much stress can he/she handle, etc. When the attention will be much more concentrated on that part, a lot of people with bipolar I, II of cyclic (III), shall have the feeling that at least they are being heart by one or more and that will decide for a great part the process of the illness. I love being bipolar, because I have found out that my residual capacity is big enough and I am very thankful for that part. Thank you very much for being an activist and for showing the world that manical-depression isn't just some vague issue, but a very severe psychiatric disease, which can be lovely at the same time. You are very cool! I wish you lots of stability and I wanted to say that you are so very brave. Keep your head up!

[@norwegianzound]

My poor older brother brought mayhem to all our lives one day in New York in 1988. We still love him and always understand he is not responsible for the affliction he's had visited upon him. However, during his quiesent periods he has the responsibility to put plans in place to try to deal with it. That's where the sympathy is challenged. Rapid cycling makes it very hard for this fine lady to get to grips with it, but she brings an intelligence that will hopefully see her through.

[@andys2856]

[@adamjstout]

Even though it doesn’t seem like a big deal, taking your meds every day for four years is an amazing accomplishment!!! I’ve heard way too many sad stories that include the line, “they weren’t taking their medication at the time…” I often compare my brain needs to someone living with diabetes. The pancreas doesn’t just suddenly start producing insulin, no matter if someone tries to encourage (or shame) it. It’s just a part of life now. My brain doesn’t produce enough seratonin. So, I take my meds every day. It’s just a part of life now. Not a huge inconvenience. I have to take allergy meds daily, too, or I get super miserable around our cats. Meds that are properly prescribed are something to be grateful for, nothing less.

[@lottiechats8120]

[@jojobrown2504]

My sister has bipolar and was sectioned a few times when I was younger. Mental illness still needs to be taken as seriously as physical illnesses. I was put on antidepressant this year after years of struggling and even that was a challenge getting to that point . After endless talks and assessments.

I am diagnosed with bipolar 2 and didn’t get the diagnosis until I was also hospitalized. I used to be awake all night and then walk to the park to watch the sunrise. I thought “oh this is normal”. In reality though doing that excessive amounts and doing other impulsive behaviors isn’t something everyone goes through. I’m thankfully on medication now and my symptoms are managed.

[@leonorabrandscheit]

it's for many people that negative events like a break up trigger mania. people would think more of depression happening after these times. actually mania is even worse than depression for me. you feel like you are ripped into million pieces and directions and your brain is on fire. you live in a parallel universe. u think nobody understands you und you suddenly understand everything, the concept of life. in everything you see something. your thoughts are faster than you. you travel in time, experience the world through new senses. you don't know what fear is anymore. nothing can stop you from anything. thats dangerous. when you come down from the trip you are bathing in shame of what you have done. what is really confusing: having a mixed episode.

But little do they know nor understand the other sides of it. And they remain ignorant to its complexity because when you have it, there’s often pressure to hide the ugly aspects. To disappear during depressive, dark, spiraling states- the come downs and paying for manic behavior that inevitably follows. Until you’re the “fun friend” again.
