My Manic Episode (reupload)

I uploaded this video previously, but the picture was overexposed/washed out and I wanted to fix it in Adobe because it bothered me. I also reduced more of the white noise in the background. I'm trying my best to improve the video and audio quality of my videos.

I'm sorry that this happened to you. First of all, I want to thank you for your video; it helps a lot of people. I'm bipolar too and I have ADHD. I've used several medications; today I'm doing well, but there are some things I've stopped doing: I love coffee (here in my country, Brazil, we have great coffee), however, coffee is very bad for us bipolars. I've never used drugs, and I've always liked beers, but I don't drink beer because it triggers us and interferes with the medications. I see the psychologist every week and the psychiatrist every month. We're bipolar, but that's not the end of the world. Yes, it's possible to live a normal life. What we have to do is never drink coffee, never use drugs, never consume alcohol, and we must do physical exercises or walk at least six days a week (never fail to ask your doctor if you can exercise). All of this was recommended by the psychiatrist and also by the psychologist. I'm a lawyer and I work hard. My advice: don't let the disease take over you; you should be the one in control. Talk to your family, stay away from negative people. Good luck, you're not alone in the world. Hugs from Brazil.

My 15yr old daughter has experienced manic episodes similar to what you’re explaining. Now that we recognize what’s happening and now she’s using KZbin platform to bring awareness mental health amongst the youth her KZbin channel is Kamaya Jackson

Great video Nat. I have bipolar 1. Age 54 now, the last big mania I had was way back in my early 20s. It was all basically positive though. Really sounds like you went through hell. Hope you are doing ok.

Great listen

How many manic episodes have you had in total? I just went through my second one and it’s been hell fixing the damage.

The fun part for me is trying to explain to all my friends why I called them actors

Glad to see that you can re-edit your videos. I thought the quality was good enough to begin with but improvements always help. Maybe you could make another video about what to do to prepare for your next manic/hypomanic episode. Hopefully it won't be as bad as this one. There is no need that you ever repeat such a bad episode if you can stay on your meds. But, as you and I have both said, Hypomanic episodes will occur, there is almost no way to prevent that. So, be prepared. I think that you are doing fine. You know a lot about CBT and I think you will be OK. Also you have a good attitude which helps a lot.
