@@seravot Sana's comment is from almost a year ago so I dont know if they will respond. But I live with mental illness, this video covers aspects I deal with. I think the most helpful part of the battle is just that, a strong and understanding support system. It's really hard to deal with when those around you make you feel alone and more isolated. I have been blessed to have an understanding husband who works with me and supports me in my journey to try and find healthier ways to cope. I also have a lot of friends who are extremely supportive and allow me to be fairly open about my struggles. I see massive differences in the mental health of my friends between people who dont have a strong background of support and understanding from those they interact with every day and those like myself who do. But I want to say, it's not the same for everyone. There's no one shoe fits all. I did therapy as well and continue to off and on.

I can understand her now that I'm older, and this really hit me like a truck. My mother is my favorite person in the world, she is gentle and extremely strong. She has always sheltered me and my sister from her mental illness. My mother would have waking nightmares about CPS coming and taking me and my sister away from her.

My mom has bipolar depression. Hers manifested itself in extreem mood swings and manic episodes. At time she was this extremely confident, grandiose personality. At times she locked herself in her room in her bed with the lights off for days without bothering to come out and feed us or talk to us. At times she was this bitter enraged screaming mother who would verbally and physically abuse us. At times she was this "normal" fun loving parent i enjoyed being around. Growing up was a neverending rollercoaster with unpredictable twists and turns. My mom didnt get help until my sophomore year in college Thats wen things got a little better. To say the least, this short film was extremely relatable. Especially how the children were their mother's crutch. Relatable on soo many levels.

My mother and my grandma are bipolar. I know how it feels like, to live with bipolar people, it's not always easy, but a bipolar person is really creative, sensitive and interesting. I think that my mother being bipolar helped me to realise a lot of things, and I'm proud of her. I miss her, during quarantine, I hope I can see her back soon. She's an honest person, who takes things very seriously and who cares so much about everyone but not herself that she always ends up having temper tantrums. Because she feels hurt. It's really hard for her to not be able to be understood by others because of her problem, she's always seen as "the crazy bipolar woman", like if bipolarity defined her.

Other times, she would change from feeling good about herself to feeling Insecure! She was abusive with her tongue, hands, very accusing, suspicious, but it wasn't until she passed away that I finally understood as did nurses that she had a mental issue. She was bipolar. Took me years to discover that all the things she said to me & about me were not true. She saw things backwards & taught me to do the same. As an adult, I had to learn all over again to see the world upright. But i always loved my mom. God gives us the ability to love those who are different from us & that's the way it should be!

Fortunately, I had The Inner Strength to take care of My Father who struggles Cancer for a year and a half, and he is doing much better, though still weak! BPD is very real, as is Autism (Autism Spectrum Disorder), which I also struggled with My Entire Life, alongside PTSD. I am also a man. I empathize with you!

At a young age I was exposed to seeing her cut her self, cry about wanting to die, get hospitalized and it was very scary for me since I didn't know what was wrong. I don't think the girl in my class knew what it was and I'm sure if she knew what being bipolar ment then she wouldn't have said it. However nun the less seeing people laugh at something that has caused my mom so much pain is wrong.

My counselor says its a possibility I might be bipolar but she says to wait until I get older because I am going through puberty and I am to young for doctors to diagnosed me. I have a couple a chrateristics of bipolar such as: 1. Thinking of suicide 2. Having big mood swings 3. Being severely depressed I also tried to kill my self last year caused of depression The reason why it is possible also is because even before puberty started, i was always sometimes mad, angry, happy, depending on the day.

It's true, I have depression, and I didn't tell anyone. I'm scared to tell my parents cause they might just joke around with it. I hate my teacher because she calls me out to the whole class, blames me on something I have no idea whatsoever, and then sends me to the office. At home its nothing different. I remember once I couldn't breathe because my mom hit me with a broom, and I couldn't breathe and she just stood there, doing nothing. I have tried cutting myself. But I do have friends who are the only ones who care about me. I have alot of scratches, spots which are dark purple and many more. It's really hard not getting real treatment and stuff. I discovered the internet that many people also have these. I just can't trust anyone. In my class, I'm a sweet happy angel, but in the inside its totally different.

Wow the opening scene brings back so many memories. My Mother definetely had a Mental Illness, which my Father ignored and allowed her to go untreated until I was a Freshman in College. At least 3 times a week I would be sitting on the sidewalk as the teachers left one by one and finally the principal would leave as I was STILL sitting waiting for my Mother to be picked up.I realize that they were different times back then as I am almost 60, but it didn't make it any less frustrating and worriesom at the time. The staff at the schools I attended(we moved often)grew used to it and rarely asked if I needed to try to call her. I knew better than to try to call as she would get EXTREMELY angry if I did and I got beaten for it. Definetely know what these girls are going through!

It is sad and we certainly don't have a normal childhood. We have to mature sooner than others and most of the time we don't really understand what is going on with our parents. we just learn through time and practice how to manage it and how to behave with them to make things easier. When I finally understood years later that my mom was actually bipolar my respect and love for her grew exponentially . She not only had to fight in the world for her family to have a good life, she had to do it while fighting against the judgments and misunderstanding of her family and society, and fight against herself as well even tho she knew sometimes she couldn't control herself at all and she didn't even know why. All of this while having us, her kids, at the center of her heart. It wasn't perfect but she did try everything she could for us to be the successful adults we are now.

That is true then they get out of control having unnecessary kids out there and getting into trouble. Not to be rude but, it do costs problems if you don’t be careful or wait. If not loved and have an issue like that and the household is like that. You don’t care for nothing. You just do it. Until you find the right one and even with that illness? They can find the right way when they find the right person to love. My bf is like that. And I’m always going be there to support. And my family. It’s hard and sometimes ppl don’t get it. You don’t know what they went though.

My mom is bipolar and has suffered various mental illnesses. When she was at her very worst, she tells me and my siblings, that we were the only things that kept her going. Even now that she's been medicated for years, she tells us that we are her whole world. She tells me that if we weren't here she doesn't know what would have become of her. She's pushed through to be here for us, and despite the turmoil that befell our family because of her various mental illnesses, she is a wonderful mother and wife. She is never going to be "normal" but even on her worst days when she isn't particularly nice or patient, and just a little mean, she is still here with us and that counts for more than anything. It's important because we know she is fighting and that she is trying.

I know first hand how hard it is as there is mental illness in my family. "Coming to terms" really just means accepting that the mental illness is NOT the person, and learning how to not take the symptoms of the illness personally, while at the same time trying to keep that person safe. That takes years for adults to accomplish in a relationship with another adult suffering mental illness! It is completely unfair to expect a child to be able to do so!

Yeah this def brought me to tears. I had a really hard time the end of 2019 into 2020 there were a few days where I just wanted to end it. I even had notes written and voice recordings (they break my heart when I listen to them this day, thank god I never did anything) I was seriously done. I was planning out how I was going to do it and then I thought of my daughters. I knew how I felt, (a burden, useless, tired) but I knew how important I was to my girls, and how important my mother is to me. I couldn’t imagine not being able to call her. I couldn’t leave my girls without their mother, I felt I was being selfish. So for days I continued to feel numb, like my emotions were just gone, and every day was the same. Finally an old friend reached out to me and encouraged me to get onto a social media platform and it helped me tremendously! I began to talk to people again, my confidence was slowly coming back. I began to want to get out of bed, get all dolled up and go hang out with my friends. I stopped isolating myself &+ I noticed my girls were a little happier too. How you feel about yourself reflects greatly on others. I still have some days to where I just want to stay in bed, or watch tv rather than chill with friends, but no longer do I feel like I don’t belong; or like I’m a burden. I know I deserve to be on this earth. We all do, we all have a reason, a purpose, we are all important and special. We just have to remind ourselves that. 👏🏼😁

Damn, this lead me to tears. Hit really hard seeing as I've lived with a bi-polar father my entire life. He suffers from manic bi-polar, anger issues, depression and other health issues. It's not fun at all. It's not fun hearing your parents yell at each other in the living room because your mom spent too much money on groceries and your father gets mad at anything she buys. It's not fun when he comes home and complains about his work and how he hates his boss. It's not fun when he yells at you because you dumped out his extra-coffee. It's not fun when he gets mad at you because you locked him out of the house by accident. It's not fun when you go out with your older sister and mom, and your dad is constantly calling your mom asking where she is. It's not fun when he doesn't say 'I love you' at the end of the day. It's not fun when he micro-manages everything and gets upset when you don't do things correctly. It's not fun when he goes on a maniac spiral and starts a new project in his workshop, because this time, 'things will be different.' It's not fun when he fails at his new project and takes his anger out on you. It's not fun when he promises you new clothes but you never get them. It's not fun when he yells at you for not turning off the hall light at night time. It's not fun when he doesn't take interest in you or your day. And it's not fun when he thinks of you as a burden; someone who he has to spend money on and put effort into. It's not fun when you know that deep down, he doesn't truly love you.

I have bipolar 1 disorder and four children. I’ve only been medicated for 5 years and my oldest is 20. This was my kids life before I was finally diagnosed and medicated. We can all sympathize with the mom. We know she can’t help it but, trust me. My oldest two children have never forgiven me for their childhood. I didn’t know I was sick. I remember one time I got so scared and thought my son (about 4 at the time) was possessed. I wouldn’t let him touch me and I locked myself in my room, crying because I was so scared. He thought it was a game at first. After several hours, I realized I over reacted and he really wasn’t possessed and I unlocked my door went to and held him so tight and tearfully apologized. He’s 20 and that’s just one of the many things he tells others about his childhood with his bipolar mom. I couldn’t hold down a job. I couldn’t keep up with house chores. I had episodes of paranoia and delusions. I knew something was wrong with me but I didn’t know what and none of the military psychiatrists took me seriously when I tried to tell them what I was experiencing. I read so many blog posts and watch so many videos about kids having to recover from their childhood into adulthood being raised by a bipolar mom. I never wanted my kids to have those “bipolar mom” stories. I never wanted to raise kids who have to recover from their childhood. But I have and I hate myself for it. I have episodes just like her where I feel worthless and like they’d all be better off without me. I want to kill myself and get it over with, but I can’t seem to do it. I wake up the next morning and sob because I have to see another day. I wake up and think, “Not again.” 😥 I ruined my oldest two children’s childhood and turned them into adults who have to see therapists because of their mom issues. I didn’t mean to. I hate myself for it.

I'm Bipolar II. I can totally resonate with you on waking up saying "not again". I do that. My sister began exhibiting traits of mental illness after the birth of her 2nd son in 2013 (post partum). She was diagnosed ADHD but in my opinion that is wrong. It should be BPI.

This broke my heart because I’ve grown up in a similar way, my mom is also a lot like this. When she said she’d try to be normal i started to cry because my mom has told me the same thing.

This made me cry. I sometimes feel like I don't deserve being a mom because of my disorder. I feel like they deserve so much better than me. "you don't have to be normal.. just here" you don't have to be normal.. just here" you don't have to be normal.. just here" Thanks for this.

Jia Breland yes it made life so difficult as a child and teenager. As an adult I understand how much she suffered and I pray she is finally at peace (she died at 59 from breast cancer.) There’s an overwhelming need for children and adolescents to have support they can access in the community (schools, libraries etc) because not everyone’s family (my dad) are open to their kids having counseling. I can attest to that growing up in an Asian home. It’s almost as it’s a taboo to speak of it and a huge source of shame. The mentality is changing but very slowly. Prayers to anyone who is living with this; please don’t make the mistake I did and try to manage on your own. There is help available. Please feel free to reach out to me if you need to, I will try to support you the best I can. Take care.💕

I have bipolar. It’s quite possibly the most beautiful in my life, but at the same time it rips me to shreds every single day. Thank you for this video, it really helps to bring awareness to the bipolar community and our struggles.

My biological mom has bipolar disorder and before she lost custody of me this is what it was like growing up. Very accurate portrayal of parenthood with a mood disorder. I’m about to cry

this film literally mirrors the life tht me and my family are living in currently and its scaring me how closely accurate it is. but, none the less, i am so thankful at how supportive and strong my family is through this tough spot we are in, especially my mom. i am so so proud at how strong my dad is holding up with his bipolar illness, he always finds a way to make me and my sister laugh even tho he isnt feeling the greatest. so plz, be understanding of ppl who suffer with bipolar disorder. plz understand they cant handle their emotions sometimes because its just too much to handle. thank you.
