Blessings to you Gabriela! I too am bipolar and I lived in shame and silence for 25 years never telling anyone except my doctors and counselor of my never ending battle of constant suicidal ideation mixed with rapid cycling hypomania then depression. Coming out of my mental closet has set me free and it has helped others feel safe to be as they are with pride as well. I can make this monster of a condition go away anytime I CHOOSE to treat it and make it go away permanently. The side effects however are less than desirable for everyone I love. Be brave. Be you. Be love!

Im bipolar for 10 years and have some advice for yall. Avoid drugs. Alcohol, caffeine, cigarettes, marijuana, etc. Be active. Go to the gym at least 3 times a week. Avoid negativity, avoid news or negative people. Manic episodes for me are usually triggered by some sort of event or action. For me, heavy drinking, life event, crazy news story can trigger an episode. Take everything with a grain of salt. Trust your family & tell your close friends about your condition, they will be supportive. Our modern lives are extremely stressful, so please take the time to enjoy yourself, treat yourself and love yourself!

I was horrifically depressed since childhood. It was relentless. I assumed it would ultimately end me somehow. About twelve years ago I randomly accepted the offer from a friend of a few doses of mushrooms. I did them two consecutive nights alone. First night was pretty mild. The second night? Wow. I saw my depression from every angle, realized much. Next day: depression totally gone. Never came back, never coming back. It's like it's a forest far away I can remember, and could probably find again with enough effort, but it has zero impact on anything in my life or mind. They honestly saved my life and improved it immensely. I never did them again, either. I wish there was a good, organized way to administer them to people who would benefit from them.

I'm 37 years old. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, depression, intermittent explosive disorder and generalized anxiety at different stages of my life. In my 20's I got addicted to pills which led to IVing heroin...all in an attempt to escape the noise my brain creates. Heroin really took a lot from me but I managed to clean up from it 5 years ago. In addition to the other setbacks i face, I now also suffer from some pretty rough PTSD from slamming my body with needles for so many years... the horrors of going through withdrawls...overdosing and being found just moments before I almost took my last breathe...My life feels like a never ending horror movie and no amount of pills has ever helped for me sadly. The only thing that truly helps me get through the day is having something to be passionate about. Music, drums, and the art of creating in general has always been something to keep me going. I don't know why I typed all this. I'm having a really bad night. I hate this. To anyone else hurting, I'm there with you. Feel my spirit.

I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in August 1998, and for me it's been up and down. It can be quite a struggle. Initially I found it hard to accept myself for it, but I learned little by little. Life isn't easy, but that doesn't mean there's no hope. What makes it easier to accept myself for my bipolar disorder is knowing that there are people with it who live very productive lives and do well just like I am. That and there are famous people with mental illnesses as well. As long as I take my medication and stuff, I'll be all right.

Well brother/sister I don’t believe he is trying to boast his ideas and solutions for himself. Only to open up about a very (for some people) embarrassing and vulnerable condition he and many others have. If anything I’d take the good from this, maybe attempt some of the things he’s done, it may help after some time. If not then find what makes you feel comfortable, stable and calm. Whether it be walking, meditation, light exercise, music with headphones, art, or even cleaning up around your house. My girlfriend has long been diagnosed with Mania (type 2 BD) and the first month we were together she was “stable”, no difference from her behavior and everyone else’s. I’ve never experienced what it’s like to be around someone with this condition but I’m very patient and understand it’s not her fault so I’m watching this video and been doing research to help me better understand and work with her during this sensitive time. it’s now been 5 months and she’s was in a severe manic episode for about 3 months and checked herself into a behavioral hospital for a month. She’s better but still noticeably experiencing the symptoms but they’re less severe now. But we’ve had therapeutic sessions and we do little activities together to keep her mind focused and not on whether the person at counter #7 in Walmart has an “evil aura around them”. Regardless U must find what works for you and your mental and emotional stability.

I had only been diagnosed with depression up till then and I was always told it was most likely due to my PCOS causing all these symptoms (mood swings, depression, suicidal thoughts) It has not been easy. My first trial run on medication ended with me having a such a bad episode that my mind to me I didn’t need to take the medicine anymore. I went on a downward spiral for a few months, till my boyfriend sat me down and said he couldn’t live with it anymore. I needed help and he couldn’t do it alone. I have finally found the right doctor for me. I feel heard and the medication has allowed me to keep a level head.

I was diagnosed with Bipolar two Disorder in June of last year. When I was at work, I had a depression episode because 3 months prior to June 2nd of last year, my uncle passed away. I was also thinking bad thoughts as well. I think that either my boss and/or my job coordinator called 911. The ambulance crew and police officers who showed up treated me with respect. After being in the hospital for a few hours, I was taken in a wheelchair to the hospital's mental health unit. I stayed there for 5 days, and I was really upset that I had to hand over my tablet and cell phone to the front desk staff. I take meds twice a day everyday, and thank goodness that I can reach out to my support teams whenever necessary.

People cope with bipolar in different ways but I think they're mainly unhealthy. I was unfortunately one of those people; I slept away most my school years when I hit middle school year, just to escape the extreme depersonalization I was floating in. The sudden numb dark fog was too much for me as a kid and it slowly drove me to suicide ideation. My life never had a middle ground, I hope I can find a a solution to cope with it

Thanks for sharing. Depression/Anxiety and mental health in general have such a stigma in our society and the more people like yourself talk about it the more the stigma will reduce in our society. My channel is solely about mental health and reducing this stigma. So many people do not seek treatment because they are afraid what people will say and this is destroying people’s lives. This needs to stop. Keep up the great work.

These sort of mental conditions have an onset. Depending on lifestyle and substance misuse, the onset period can vary widely. In my case the onset happened over nearly 11 years. Because i am rather good at sleeping pattern and never took any illegal substances. Over those 11 years i had 5 episode of depressions. All doctors i went to seek help from gave me antidepressants. None asked how my sleep was distrupted. Being a researcher, i had clocked the span of the depression episodes and when they occurred. I also noticed that the depression episode took few days to get in full swing and remarkably i was getting off depression at the turn of a switch. I started reading and become convinced i had bi-polar not having experienced even a single manic episode. I did not have to wait long, though. It arrived the year after. At this point doctors still did not listen to me. There major sin was not to have asked for my sleeping. A depressed person usually falls asleep easily and cannot wake up easily. Someone with bi-polar CANNOT sleep: finds difficult to get asleep and the sleep gets interrupted rather early in the morning. Bi-polar makes people restless, both in the manic and the depressive phases. The following year i had another ipo-manic episode and decided to walk in a hospital in the city i was passing by for work. At the hospital they eventualy paid attention to what i had to say. They gave me lithium and my bi-polar has subsided. It is now nearly 10 years that it has completely gone. Probably because it was taken at the onset. People suffering from bi-polar should stay careful to a few things: sleeping pattern; avoid taking illegal substances; and a rather regular lifestyle overall. I visualise bi-polar as a guitar string. If pluked with the fingers of one hand, it will start vibrating. But you still have the second hand to press hard the string down on the fretboard and stop the string from shaking your life. Without knowing it back then, i was lucky to have done just that. THANKS for the insight.

@@larryramos3191 thanks for your comment. Let's see if i can convey this well in few paragraphs. I shoupd first say that i am not a doctor and might be less precise in the following. Some kinds of depression are a sort of LEARNED HELPLESSNESS and typically, who has became depressed this way, has been first disappointed, then angry, then disillusioned and eventually, seeing s/he cannot do much to change things, s/he becomes depressed. These induviduals tend to be low in hormons circulation and therefore for them SLEEP is a way to escape reality. They heart rate is also typically low and therefore they tend to get asleep easily. They also have little incentive to get out of bed, also given their low heart rate and the fact that the prospect remains dire in their distorded view. For a person affected by Bi-polar the situation is really different. This person has dived into depression because of a ride on a high for days of even weeks. This person is like a rocket that has ran out of fuel. That sort of hysteria in the high phase of Bi-polar is brought inside the depression phase. The Bi-polar individual is restless, in the thoughts which are racing, in the feelings and also the body which cannot stand still. Depression of a Bi-polar person is due to exhaustion (physical, psychical, and many times also financial). This is one of the last questions i asked myself recently: why so many experts have difficulties in recognising some kinds of Bi-polar like Bi-polar II, which from what i understands now, seems to stem from a personality disorder (a mid way between over and covert Narcissism). Maybe this is due to the fact that for nasty mental issues we tend to seek psychiatrists' help and these latters prefer to prescribe medications. And at the moment, there is no medication for personality disorders. This point should be looking into by our health systems, because i had to understand all of this myself, and not being a doctor, i coupd have done lot of damage to me and my loved ones, as well as on society. Many thanks.

@@0129581s I am the one who appreciates your informative response. I am not a certified psychologist, but I did study psychology in college. One of the most asked questions in the field is “where do mental illnesses come from?” Because there isn’t an “exact” source (up to now) of where/how mental illness originates. Instead, there are theories that doctors have used over time to understand the causes of a mental disorder. One of them is environmental factors, which reminds me of what you described as learned helplessness. One of my close friends has bipolar disorder II and he fits the description you gave for someone with depression only. He sleeps around 12-16 hours a day and has fallen asleep easily on me when talking on the phone or watching movies. He cannot easily be awoken. A bomb can be thrown and he wouldn’t even notice it. It’s so surreal, but it is a reality. I believe that depressive bipolar is a mood disorder just like depression. The difference is that symptoms in depressive bipolar are manifested “at times” whereas symptoms in depression appear more regularly. Great conversation and thanks for your great points!

My father is bipolar with hypertension at 40. When we found out, it helped us link his hypertensive episodes with his bipolar moods. And vice versa, sometimes it gets triggered the other way. When I turned aroud... 27, I was diagnosed with hypertension worse than his. Mine was very rare since I did not smoke, drink or eat unhealthy. I'm in a healthy weight with a healthy lifestyle. I was fit and did not have any mental diagnoses either. So getting 180/100 at my situation was very strange. I later found out that the last few years before my diagnosis, I have been acting oddly. Anger that I've never felt before. Happiness that I could not control. I was talked to about the possibility of having something similar to my dad develop in me. After I went into medication for hypertension, a lot of it has become controlled. It was quite amazing how much chemical issues in my body affected my mentality. My case is quite different to others. Mine is mostly chemically induced. So this might not adhere to other people in this comment section. Sometimes when I argue with my husband, I take a moment to quietly take my pills. So that when I argue with him, it's not from anything chemical, but because I really believe he was in the wrong. This kind of way, I make an effort to be good to the people around us. I had a father, a frightening father at times, so I know how that feels. Sorry for the long storytime. I just wanted to tell yall, if you're going through any mental issues, take the time and effort to appreciate the people that are there with you. They're also victims just like us. And sometimes, it's even worse being them.

But most importantly, you can make money - decent money if you also do freelance jobs to supplement a low playing job. Also, graphic design can branch off into other forms of design, like t-shirt graphics that you sell to your social media following. For anything you love, you can bet your bottom dollar that there are millions of people who are interested so go and make an instagram account, and facebook account and post your art online. Learn how to make great content and keep learning. It's hard for me to learn stuff too, but you can't give up. Hang in there.

Not diagnosed but I've never heard it explained as a fog before. The coming and going of energy is difficult. I try to use my creative bursts for getting things done now and not improving my life because there are not enough bursts anymore. Its like parts of me are being deleted. It started slow Id wake up and feel fixed like eveything is good, then id look at someone or something and everything floods back. Could take anywhere from 10 seconds to and hour if I was lucky a few hours in the morning id feel full of life like my normal self. Im not sure if memories or feelings "that flood back" but its almost like sims. Like you stepped away from the game and youre on autopilot. Its a decent enough autopilot to funtion generally but maybe thats why its there in the first place is because my consciousness is resting or something. Best experience i can use to explain it is one time I was visiting my friend. The night before was somewhat normal i suppose went to bed feeling tired. I woke up feeling the best i had felt in a very long time. Like very good, then about 10-15 seconds I literally felt all the energy leech away when I Iooked at my friend's face. It was weird. It was like i was immediately back to being exhausted like i had never slept. All energy gone. Back to some sort of depressed anxious unsure enough to make any decions mode. Its almost like a switch for my personality was flipped into emergency preservation mode.

To all of you with bi-polar disorder.My name is David im 45 years old, Im diagnosed as bi-polar 1.The manic episodes began for me at 33 years old.They were severe and lasted for months whether on or off medication.My manic episodes left me with multiple felonies and misdemeanors and ruined my life.I decided to get to the root of my condition to hopefully cure it.If my new normal was going to be going to jail and mental institutions and having problems in my personal relationships with others I was going to kill myself.I didnt enjoy anything that I used to.Didnt want to be around anyone and wasnt happy even when I was in what I concidered an Ideal situation.My depression was severe and no one understood.I studied everything I could on bi-polar and what its root causes were.I studied the chemistry of the mind and body and went into older studies as well.What I learned is that those of us with bi-polar disorder are not truelly disabled, at least not by the so called disorder.We are actually the great minds of humanity.Our brains are more active then the average person, even more active then your above average intelligent individual.Our brains require larger ammounts of NATURAL Lithium them most people as well.There is more then 1 type of lithium.What I want to recomend to you all is Lithium Oratate.It is a vegan supplement that is available over the counter.Lithium is found in trace ammounts in meats and other foods but not in the quantity our brains require.Water used to contain larger ammounts of lithium but because of pollution and treatment the lithium naturally found in water is nearly non existant.I pay a little over $7 for 30 capsules.I take one every other day and since I started I have no symptoms at all.I still get the headaches from time to time but no depression or anxiety.I sleep normal hours now and my zest for life has returned and only gotten stronger and not diminished one drop.I havent had a manic episode since I started taking the Lithium Orotate and noticed the immediate diffrence within 1 hour of taking it.No side effects either, not one.My brain works faster and more effectively then in my entire life.I couldnt go more then 8 months without a manic episode before I took it, and between the mania I was always depressed.None of that in over 3 years.Everyone in my condition that I have gotten to take this is doing better then they ever had and I get calls regularly to brief me up on their situation and thank me for the recomendation.Do yourself a favor and be the genious you are and put the fuel your brain needs into it and put the disorder behind you.I wish you all a merry Christmas and the best life you can live.I dont sell this stuff, im not a doctor, I am cured of my condition and would like to share my secret.✌

There's no cure but you don't have to die thinking like that. You can't allow it to beat you, we live in a ruthless world that will swallow you whole if you give in to weakness

I have bipolar disorder and I constantly feel like I’m alone and I understand the pain and also the feeling of the low side of bipolar. ,I first went through psychosis through all the drugs I’ve taken, for example: weed, lsd, psilocybin. Now that I’m 20 and had it since I was 18 I’m learning to trust more in what can help rather than what’s holding me back from past trauma

Mateen is so lucky he had a chance to talk...I don't think the 350 million people are the only ones who are not able to talk. I am sure there are millions if not billions, of person are not able to talk. They are even forced , or self-forced, to stay silent to let life goes to whatever direction..

My father and my last 2 boyfriends committed suicide and had bipolar disorder. All used alcohol to deal with their feelings. They were all incredibly intelligent, creative, and driven people prone to deep depression. My grief is still incredibly fresh. I have also suffered from deep depression my whole life and have wondered if I inherited this from my father and that most likely, I chose specifically bipolar men because I have it too. When my sweet man took his life in May of 2023, I wanted to be with him and had plans to give up. I had a 10mm to my head several times but could not go through with it because of my mother...she would go bat shit crazy as she's had a hard life as it is. I sold my gun recently, quit drinking, joined a gym, and learning how to meditate and talk about what I'm going through. I tend to push my friends away, but trying to make an effort to socialize and stay in touch with people so they know I give a damn. I have a friend with bipolar that failed at suicide this summer and is convinced that I have textbook symptoms and would feel better on meds, but for now I'll just call myself highly creative, imaginative, and driven with extreme lows that make me prone to addiction. 🤷♀️Anyway. This video was informative and helpful and the comments make me feel like I'm not alone.

I have bipolar disorder as well and I’ve been struggling for the last five years. It’s been a very hard struggle, but I have managed with behavior and medication.

And most people think, that we control our emotions, at first I thought it too, but when it happen to me, I could feel that sadness is just like a air, you start feeling them and couldn't come out, people around us usually never gets it. I am also taking tablets but they don't help a lot either. I like Gym, being around people more, than being alone, as whenever I am alone, thoughts come back.
