Living fully with bipolar disorder | Nacho Ruiz Hens | TEDxTAMU

[@lauralegault]

When he said that bipolar disorder doesn’t define who you are, it made me think about how I’ve let my own anxiety control my life. It’s a good reminder that we’re more than our mental health struggles.

[@jordanlewis5666]

I've been reading about psilocybin mushrooms and their potential for treating mental health disorders, has anyone tried it?

[@shokotatsuno-p5497]

Yes! Psilocybin-assisted therapy helped me manage symptoms.

[@morgancr1993]

I do 3.5 g of mushrooms every 6 months to reboot my brain.

[@popkanchinlobos9634]

The hardest part is trying to find where to buy, how did you yours?.

[@OscarDioses-b8o]

I remember few years back after my wife died, I was left alone with 3 kids. I suffered severe bipolar depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with bipolar. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 4years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.

[@JacksonSmith-h5u]

I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.

[@NosbsushKsoshrgib]

Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source. 🙏

[@NoahLucas-j3p]

doctormaxshrooms is your guy, got all kinds of psychedelics.-:(

[@Arthur_james-cx5rv]

Where do I reach this dude? If possible telegram or TikTok

[@NoahLucas-j3p]

Yes he's doctormaxshrooms. I know few friends who no longer suffer ptsd and anxiety with the help of shrooms.

[@iamtherealdeal]

Seeing how he turned his life around after hitting rock bottom is really inspiring. It reminds me that even in my worst moments, there’s always hope for change and growth

[@lucasduque4811]

There will always be, my friend. God’s never loose control and He is seeing you right now. Keep in mind that a short moment doesn’t define your life, you’re a winner! Keep the pace

[@Techodeflash]

The stat about 15% of people with bipolar committing suicide is so sad. It really shows how serious this illness is, and how important it is to support people who are struggling before it’s too late.

[@snakejohnson2740]

It’s wild to hear how quickly life can turn upside down. One minute you’re on top, the next you’re struggling to get out of bed...

[@regissanford7104]

I love the idea of radical transparency. Too many people still don’t talk about mental health openly. I don't know if it's out of shame or if they don't have anything to contribute but it's important for people to be honest with each other

[@ByteMayhem]

The part where he mentioned feeling like a failure in every aspect of life hit me hard. I don’t have bipolar disorder, but I’ve definitely been in that place where you feel like nothing’s working. I can't imagine how much harder that must hit when your feelings are intensified

[@the-coffee-lover]

My dad has struggled with depression for years, and hearing about how many people with bipolar also deal with anxiety and depression made me think of him. It’s a reminder that there’s often more going on than we realize.

[@redchen3682]

Love the unmatched pair of shoes. It's very symbolical - the shoes are like the illness. But if you try and see the whole person, you will see that they are still beautiful despite their unmatched "unusual" pair of shoes.

[@nachoruizhens]

What you said is beautiful, thanks for sharing your thought.

[@CaseReynolds]

It's so important to have conversations like this. Some people just don't have any neurological disorders lol no neuro-divergence, no mental health issues! And they genuinely don't know or understand how hard it is for the rest of us 😂

[@FlipTheVirus]

It’s really brave to talk about suicide and depression like that. Not many people are willing to go there in such a public way but man we need it right now! The state of peoples mental health as a whole is just woeful

[@TenderWolfAdvertising]

My brother struggles with depression, and sometimes it feels like we’re all carrying the weight of it. This talk reminded me to be more supportive and patient with him, thank you.

[@julestrescott]

Mental health doesn’t just affect the person going through it; it affects everyone around them. I hope more families can find ways to stay strong through it.

[@elainaarenz]

The story about the superman costume at the start tugged on my heartstrings in such a weird way. I think we've all had those dreams that didn't turn out how we imagined.

[@johnjjgravely]

When he talked about that therapist who believed in him when he was at rock bottom, that hit me hard. It reminds me of my high school counselor who saw potential in me when I was failing everything. Sometimes you don't realize how much those small moments of faith can change your life.

[@WormholeHaven]

man, when he talked about that year he spent just staring at the ceiling, I felt that in my soul. I've been through some rough patches myself and that feeling of being completely stuck is so real. Makes me appreciate how far I've come...

[@Cyber-Toast]

I relate so much to the part about feeling like a failure. It’s tough, but hearing this at least makes me feel less alone

[@KatieKimball]

Preach it: "Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem." Everyone needs to hear this!

[@nachoruizhens]

Thank you, Katie!! Without your help and expertise I would not have been able to deliver this talk!!

[@triggerbunny]

It's nice tagline...but there is no cure for bipolar and several other mental disorders. Sure, medications & certain therapies can help manage the disease...but stop saying it's a "temporary" problem. It's for life and sadly, progressive in spite of medications and therapy for an unfortunate percentage of us living with it. Every time I hear someone say it's a temporary problem..it just feels like a slap in the face & minimizes the extent of the disease and pain most feel.

[@vindemour]

Man, I can’t imagine going through all of that. Respect for getting through it and being so open about it

[@gabrielivar]

I appreciate that he talked about therapy and meds alongside personal growth. Too often people act like you can just positive-think your way out of mental illness and it really doesn't work like that

[@lesliecrossI]

I feel kind of silly saying this but I didn't realize just how many people live with bipolar. Glad to have this kind of insight because it seems like it has all kinds of knock-on affects

[@suonituo]

I was informally diagnosed with bipolar and didn't want to be medicated... maybe mine is a less extreme version but I found even just knowing that's what was happening with me helped so much to understand the swings and impulses

[@ThePackHunter]

I'm glad he didn't hold back on talking about the bad side of bipolar.... I tend to tone it down for my friends and family because I don't want them to worry but maybe that's not really helping

[@summerpeterson4767]

This is vital information Nacho! I will definitely be sharing your talk with those I work with! Thank you!!!! “Just because our mind breaks doesn’t mean it is broken” YES!!

[@nachoruizhens]

Thank you, Summer! ❤

[@jankyrose5449]

It’s so easy to think that successful people have it all together, so hearing about how someone as accomplished as him ended up in a psychiatric hospital was eye-opening. It really shows that mental illness doesn’t care about your status or job.

[@annieharmon4698]

I have schizoaffective disorder which is a combination of bipolar and schizophrenia. It has been a long road to recovery. I am happy to say that I have now been stable for 6 years after being in the hospital 21 times. These are serious illnesses that need to be taken seriously. I'm so glad you are speaking out about this important topic. Congratulations Nacho! Annie

[@nachoruizhens]

Thank you for sharing, Annie and congratulations on your stability!

[@valencupida]

how did you accomplish your stability? medication? lifestyle change? therapy? thank you bless you❤

[@Chillbertti]

Having a bipolar partner and this talk was right on the spot. Powerful words. Thank you for this!

[@nachoruizhens]

¡I am glad you liked it!

[@NANCY-um2uf]

Nacho this is very touching message and full of hope for my son , who has this condition Bipolar I, for more than a decade and he is not helping himself , he see me as his enemy , I am believer of God and I know He is protecting him and my son needs to his part, accepts his condition and allow professionals to help him. Love your courage and faith , God bless you. Will share with my son.

[@EduardoRuizF]

Eres admirable, hijo. Cuando niño y joven, nunca podíamos pensar que ibas a atravesar este desierto. Eras brillante como estudiante, buen hijo y buena persona, a la par que original y simpático. Ningún problema. Cuando a los 39 años te diagnosticaron la enfermedad, no podíamos creerlo. Nos quedamos bloqueados, mudos, perplejos ¡Trastorno bipolar! ¿Cómo era posible? Jamás habíamos oído que nadie de la familia materna o paterna hubiera pasado por esto, aunque al parecer en un 75% de los casos tiene causa genética. También indicaron que el estrés era un detonante. Ciertamente tu profesión era estresante. Han pasado 4 años desde tu primer brote y hospitalización y casi tres años desde el segundo. En este tiempo has tenido que superar un largo proceso de recuperación, la tramitación de un divorcio amistoso, el aislamiento social y el parón -transitorio, sin duda- en tu brillante carrera profesional ¡Y nosotros, tu familia originaria, tan lejos físicamente!. Con todas estas dificultades, has sabido reconocer la enfermedad, afrontarla, y buscar la motivación para salir adelante, como no podíamos ni imaginarnos. Enhorabuena porque estás en el camino de vuelta a los logros personales que a lo largo de tu vida te han acompañado. Las muestras de cariño, admiración y respeto que vemos en estos comentarios así lo demuestran.

[@maisahens2520]

No puedo estás más de acuerdo con todas y cada una de tus palabras!!! Te quiero, amor!!! Queridísimo Edu Tú el padre, y yo la madre! 🩵🩵

[@archibaldandrews]

So impressed by the way he bounced back from hitting rock bottom. It's really inspiring and also shows that things do get better which is something people need to hear

[@phoebec232]

I had no idea how serious sleep deprivation could be. That part was honestly terrifying because my sleeping habits are terrible

[@baileebrushell]

labels are for shampoo, not people... love that! Gonna remember that next time I feel defined by my anxiety.

[@nachoruizhens]

I learned this from an entrepreneur called Ryan Blair and I love it too!

[@monroemann]

One more thing. When I was helping Nacho prepare by listening to his talk on zoom, I was feeling so sad and quite miserable (for other personal reasons). This talk by Nacho Ruiz cheered me up dramatically. It was precisely the message I needed. The right message by the right messenger at the right moment. Thank you Nacho!

[@belenfierro9588]

Increíble discurso Nacho! Muy bien contado! Seguro que ya estás ayudando a más personas con este mismo problema! Eres una persona muy grande!!!❤

[@victorhens]

Querido Nacho, eres un tío grande, sí señor. Me ha encantado tu charla, tu valentía y tu franqueza. Servirá para mucho, para muchos. Cuídate y déjate ver.

[@carolmiller1622]

Thank you for this talk. It was courageous and needed and wise. I am bi polar and have been diagnosed sine 17 and am now 72and have lerned so much from this illness I believe in God and have seen his wofk in my life through bi polar Carol New Zealand

[@athelise]

I was diagnosed at 26 with Cyclothymia after struggling for years with most of the problems you listed. I've gone through medication adjustments and therapy (no hospitalizations, tho I probably should've had one or two), and learning to re-love hobbies that I would normally need to be manic to enjoy. I've been incredibly blessed and lucky to have a supportive family who've loved me on and off medication. It was a surprise to them, and to me, at how much I was struggling internally. Learning to admit to myself how bad off I was a big part in accepting help since I was in denial about having a mood disorder. Radical transparency needs to begin with yourself.

[@monroemann]

Even better than when I first heard it five months ago during practice. As someone who has endured severe bouts of depression, your message resonates strongly with me. It inspired me, made me laugh, and has given me great hope. You’ve been such a big supporter of mine Nacho. I am glad now that I can return the favor by helping you to promote this amazing talk. It deserves to go viral to all ends of the earth!

[@samylevis]

Thank you for shedding light on bipolar disorder. It's crucial to educate ourselves on mental health conditions and support those who are affected by them. I think every story counts towards doing that.

[@BeenFoundTwice]

I've been on and off medication for depression and always felt kind of ashamed about it. Hearing him talk so openly about his treatment made me feel less alone, like it’s okay to do what you need to feel better.

[@JeanThi-fy9io]

how did u manage to recover from the depressive parts? And did you mask It to the people around you

[@BeenFoundTwice]

@@JeanThi-fy9io not sure I have, and I am an open book to my friends

[@JeanThi-fy9io]

@@BeenFoundTwice oh okay and did it give you lot of anxiety or excessive worrying abt everything aftermath?

[@EduardoPerez-ce2mr]

Magnífico Nacho!! Gracias por compartirlo! Transmites tanta pasión, tanto conocimiento y tanta esperanza que tú video merece ser visto por todos. Lección de vida de las q merecen la pena. Resalto dos de tus frases para momentos de angustia: 1. "Esto también pasará" y 2. "El suicidio es una solución permanente para un problema temporal".

[@LifeSculptors]

What a courageous talk brother! You are helping so many find peace and freedom to live without judgement. Thank you - Dante Poole

[@IndaMoment]

I’ve been on and off meds for years and I’ve always felt pretty ashamed about it. Hearing him talk so openly about his treatment is oddly comforting though. Like you know other people experience this stuff too but it’s kind of rare to hear about it

[@matverna]

Radical transparency is a crucial healing tool for us as individuals, and also a vital public health philosophy that can help reduce stigma and isolation.

[@nachoruizhens]

I am glad that we are in agreement! 🦾🦾🦾

[@champdynasty8992]

My brother and I have bipolar disorder and this was very powerful to me. I’ve tried to embrace my condition and make the most of it. It doesn’t define me, what I do with it does. Stay strong and God bless you all! 🤟🏼

[@LuisRodriguez-xu2cp]

Nacho, podría haber estado escuchándote horas…aparte de un superhéroe en superación has demostrado ser un comunicador extraordinario, enhorabuena!!!

[@alexapsicologa]

Gracias Nacho por tu autenticidad, el mundo necesita saber que las enfermedades mentales no son un estigma, debemos ser sensibles a este tema porque todos somos tan vulnerables a pasar por cualquier tipo de enfermedad mental. Sin embargo hay esperanza y sanidad si tenemos fe y hacemos lo que nos corresponde.

[@nachoruizhens]

Muchas gracias, Alexa, ¡por estar en mi equipo! ❤

[@ahoratellamo]

Valiente Nachete. Me alegro mucho que hayas encontrado con la fórmula de avanzar, de recuperar tu orden y de incluso servir de inspiración y ejemplo a mucha gente. Toda lo mejor para que esa energía sea duradera, es a buen seguro el mejor de los caminos!

[@nachoruizhens]

¡Muchísimas gracias! Espero poder ayudar ❤

[@sadiaykor]

I really felt it when he talked about feeling like a failure in every part of life. I don't have bi-polar but I've been in that dark place before and it's so hard, was really great to hear him talk about how he turned it around

[@winnipooh3212]

I love how far he's come! Just shows that healing is possible 💜💜

[@kanyakonsrimanopanithan]

I've got an uncle with bipolar and I never really understood what he was going through... I feel pretty bad now for all the times the family would talk about his drama and get dismissed as being dramatic

[@borjafernandez8354]

Enhorabuena!! Me ha encantado oírte. Lo he hecho dos veces. Lo mejor, afrontarlo, no esconderte. Eres grande. Muy grande.

[@SandeepGupta-uy3ze]

Excellent Nacho, a beautifully delivered message, with vulnerability and giving hope.

[@BrutalTechGiant]

I have to admit I've been fairly judgemental about people with mental health issues in the past... this had made me realize though that those judgements come from an ign0rant place. We've all got our own battles and should be more understanding and supportive of one another

Thank you for sharing this inspiring talk. It's a difficult decision for us with bipolar disorder to decide who and when to disclose the illness and access that courage. Acceptance is not always easy, but treatment and awareness are increasingly available. Thank you for spreading such a positive message.

[@RicardoRuizFernandez]

Impressive talk! You are really Superman! You have been fighting against your worst enemy, the only one at you capacity level: yourself! And you have shown us all how to defeat that part of you that you do not need. Or perhaps yes, as you say, to make the best of yourself! I think this talk is better than 1000 therapy sessions, and can help a lot of people who are now learning the process to see back the light. It also helps normalize a situation that should be normal!!

[@kirkslapete]

The concept of radical transparency is intriguing. I hope we can implement this in our communities but I feel like there needs to be a lot more understanding and support before people are comfortable doing that

I agree. We need to take little steps in the right direction. Change will not happen overnight. ❤

If you want to know my story, I won't tell you in a comment, but I will tell you that I have risen high and fallen low, but that is not something that distinguishes anyone.
