[@AbstruseDaPoet]

Yes

[@helenarichard]

Although I get we need names for diagnosis, but looking further into the symptoms of bipolar disorders, they seem more like hormonal imbalances to me. If you feel a quick burst of energy of happiness, it could easily be explained by a quick rise in serotonin or testosterone. A lot of environmental factors recently cause a lot of hormonal problems. Problem is, endocrinologists won't bother with mental diagnosis, and psychologists don't know medicine. A psychiatrist only pops pills. But if just 1 person would study the cause of our hormonal issues and link environment to mental health, we could be saved. These "mysterieus mental issues" don't just come out of nowhere. Autism, for one, is most likely caused by mercury in the environment, not just genetica. The mercury changes the DNA and from then on "mental issues" become "hereditary". Explain to me then why there are no older people with autism. I rest my case.

I told my psychiatrist that I no longer recognized myself, I no longer knew what I was and what the symptoms were, especially because I lived like this for about 16 years before being recently diagnosed, I have bipolar affective disorder type 2. So he said to me: see what the life and behavior of a person who is not bipolar is like. I became thoughtful and reflective, and this made me realize how sick I was. A simple sentence made me understand the entire context of my life, and I've lived with this for so long that I thought it was normal to be like this.

Look into dbt therapy and distancing techniques as a coping skill if that worked well for you. It has helped me out greatly compared to cbt techniques

Its a dangerous illness. It hurts everytime the mood changes. The hope to live is reducing. Every emotional feeling emphasis all time. And feeling hurts like physical pain. Anger, grief, pain, broken, unreasonable happiness all are part of it. Even can hallucinate certain things like some person is next to you, follows you and criticize you. Hearing some voices when you are in depression. High headache like some stone is kept in your head or someone is pulling your head is a major physical pain. Moreover acting like you are happy and positive in front of others and cries alone, or if you are in anger you shows to yourself, and sometimes to suppress your emotional pain(depression or anger) physical pain helps like scribbling your hand with sharp objects. Most times sucide comes to mind like saviour from all the pain and emotional cocktails, but family and scare of dieing by self resist it. Lack of concentration in work and study, sleeping for long, eating more than you want, cant enjoy any happiness around you coz of the after pain of happiness is hell. Screaming, crying, punching in wall, scribbling in hand, being reckless is all things you remember when someone asks "how was your day". Nothing cant hold you back from the pain. And no one understand what's happening. I know how people who are suffering from like these feels, the hope of one day everything will be alright is the one thing that resist people from self killing. But sad part is no one will ever know what your life was. While reading this you may think how do i know all these. The fun fact is this is what my life is for the past 7 years. Its been soo long that i have slept peacefully. Even i didnt know when this all started and what was all these. People around me doesn't know it either. Still i dont know is this a treatable one or its common to all, but this is soo hard to handle eavh day passes. Why im writing this now in comment is becoz i dont have anyone now to share this. No body to help or may be its me who dont show my need to others.

I'm here since my mom has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder 4 years ago. This is my second time living at my aunt's place for several months due to my mom's manic episodes, that convinces her to stop taking her medication. This leads to some really depressive episodes that can potentially take her life. The people taking care of her tends to send her home too quickly (in the manic stage) which leads to her messing up her medication and yet another depressive episode develops. I found this video to learn more about it, as i'm still not too familiar with it I feel. I'm almost an adult now, and I wanna be able to understand the symptoms so I can help my mother in the future.

[@autumncortez6254]

For religious people: Do you think this mental illness is a combination of brain issues and soul or spiritual problems? I have debated this about myself after being diagnosed with BiPolar 2 over 5 years ago. Example: I take my antidepressant and I no longer FEEL depressed, I fixed the mind issue. But I am not “happy” or fulfilled or whatever word you want to use. That work has to be done in the soul. In my opinion, I removed the depression cycle which was a hindrance that normally wired brains don’t have. But that only frees me to now work towards a true happiness and that issue has been throwing me off. It’s what I describe as “soul sickness.” After so many years of being depressed and at times suicidal for 3-4 days out of every week, then unexplainably happy for 3-4 days, then back to depressed again, I never got a chance to have hope or even dream of the future. I always thought I was probably living for the last year. I lack the skills of taking care of my happiness or even knowing what I want. This is hard!

[@VengefulPolititron]

Yes. many bodily afflictions are intertwined with the mind. Heart literally stores your feelings. not your brain. You brain just collects and processes information. I went though chastisement and lost my humanity and feelings for awhile. I felt dead. and I learned the heart and gut bit have brain cells that connect to the brain. gut feelings are real. and love actually comes from the heart. Sin, and the corruption of nature that happened because of sin, does affect us in many ways. You are a 3 part being, made in God's image. He is 3 people, Father Son and Holy Spirit. You are Body Spirit and Soul. You are a spirit. the soul makes you human and like God. but the body is fleshly and evil. corrupted by darkness. We are spirits who experience light and dark. but we have the direction of God, through our soul, to do what is right.

[@empressjoannie]

Do you have close friends with you that could accompany you to a psychologist or psychiatrist? Or any support system for that matter if your parents initially refuse to go with you? Though in my humble opinion, your parents are the ones that shall go with you in seeking professional help because once they're there, the psychologist/psychiatrist could talk to them and help them be educated with the kind of illness you would be diagnosed at, plus their presence could be of huge help in providing emotional support during this crisis in your life...

[@gOzaruVids]

Try to write down all you think when you feel anxiety. Analyze that kind of mind and ask your parents or doctor for help. I have managed to free from bipolar and zyprexa thanks to method I tried to myself. Your mind control what you feel. So if you think about the sad past and it happened very quickly, you will feel sad too. Control your mind when your mind start to remind you about the past. Like this, tell your mind that I don't want to remember that past again. I want to be happy. I fought my mind like that every day until I stop think about it again. Now I become the most happiest person even though I am poor. That is all because I can control my mind to what I want and that make me very happy. I am no longer in depression state. Now I am in a big projects and I am working hard to fulfill my dreams to help a lot of people. Try my method. I hope you stop hurting your self by thinking of suicide. One TIP, when you think about suicide it means that your brain cannot solve the problem you have in the past which make you very sad. It is normal mechanism of fly or fight. So whenever you found yourself have suicidal thought, tell yourself: "Why should I be sad? I should be happy now. I will do things which make me happy. I will help my family. I will help a lot of people." Then start being grateful for what you already have. That's all. Oh yeah, don't forget to pray to Jesus for help against this problem. Jesus made me strong against my mind everyday. Believe me.

Don't ever listen to anyone except a trained, educated professional in the field of psychology if you ever suspect you are suffering from a serious mental disorder. When I was younger I suffered through a period of extreme stress, anxiety, depression and insomnia, - evidenced by the sudden appearance of dark circles under my eyes - but was told by my Dad to "Get over it". I didn't recognize how serious my situation was, thought I just needed to 'toughen up' but many years later I discovered that I have a serious mental disorder which probably resulted from - or was at least exacerbated by - this period of trauma. Depression is now known to cause actual brain damage and physical changes to how your brain operates. It's perfectly logical to think that damage caused by one disorder can trigger other disorders to occur and if they are not treated, you are in deep shit. NEVER listen to someone who really doesn't know what they're talking about. My life is ruined because I didn't receive some simple treatment way back in 1998 when this problem first arose. There's a good chance a parent will say anything to reassure you that nothing serious is wrong because they know the dollar cost involved in getting professional treatment is high, and they may also just be engaging in wishful thinking. If you KNOW something is not right, GET HELP.

[@BradPwnsU]

My advice as a 21 year old who is bipolar and was depressed at your age, (which I definitely came out of) is to just stay positive and enjoy being young and hanging out with your friends, and generally enjoying life. As you get older you will be more level-headed because at around 12 you are very hormonal and it affects your mind. Just don’t EVER do things like stay in bed all day, down yourself, be lazy, etc. If you get depressed start moving and doing something. Be productive and surround yourself with friends and family. Remember that kid, just keep moving.

I have always described to others, who don’t have or know much about it, that mania feels like someone just dumped a bag of crack in my system. I usually feel mania start during the night, and the intense euphoric rise in my system is undeniable. I now know I won’t sleep at all for days, and then maybe a couple hours a night after the sleep deprivation leads to a collapse of exhaustion. But after those few hours, my brain gets just enough charge to pick up where it left off. I spring out of bed, time to go go go. I have the compulsion to move. I pace the floor back and forth, then outside up and down the street over and over. It can be any time of the day. At night, I search for the moon. My thoughts are racing it’s a tornado in my head. I have to talk talk talk having trouble keeping up. But I can’t stop. If no one is around doesn’t matter. I talk out loud to myself, I laugh and laugh changing subjects left and right. As days go on this pressured speech is exhausting. It’s so chopped up. I tell people things I would never say, and I acknowledge this fact as the words are leaving my mouth. I try to detour, but I’m not in the driver’s seat now. I have to do more than pace. I rearrange and clean, scrubbing things like the floors at 3am. I love it, don’t ever want it to end. I’ve pushed so many people out of my life, there’s only a few anymore. They understand to just let me be when I’m talking like this, pacing the world like this, and scrubbing it clean. Days have turned into weeks now, I’m just so f’in exhausted. Frustration. Anxiety. Anger. Eventually I crash. I don’t necessarily fall into depression following these huge manic episodes, which I have a few times a year. I deal more with moderate depression where I’m irritable and uninterested, along with some mixed states of hypomania. But then I’ll have periods of time when I’m stable. I take a few mood stabilizers, and a benzodiazepine as needed. I cannot take any antidepressants, as they have the opposite effect on me. I’m not ready to try any antipsychotics, yet. And Lithium is not an option for me because I do have a separate seizure disorder. Anyhow, that’s my bipolar story in a nutshell. I’m sorry for leaving such a long drawn out comment. Just remember, bipolar is what we have, not who we are.

Great overview! Didn't talk about irritable mood, which is a common part of the picture for both depression and for (hypo)mania. The schematic drawing the ups and downs is especially effective. Also important to mention "Other Specified bipolar and related disorders" -- most common version, and still can be highly impairing.

I am diagnosed with bipolar today after a year and a half suffering with mood swings and unclear thoughts .. I feel hopeful and happy now that I will start my treatment .

This video is extremely helpful and I've sent it to my mom my step-dad and a roommate I'll be moving in with. I'm bipolar type II. There's never a dull moment. 🤣 I'm on meds and I'm becoming my old self again. 💓

If anyone else is here because they are trying to understand bipolar disorder or find support. I a very severe form of bipolar I wasn’t diagnosed until a few years ago. I was afraid of the side effects of medication. After I spent a year I in full psychosis and got run over by a car I realized my disease is potentially fatal without medication. I have been doing well since 2017. I now vlog about my experiences with my disease. But I do want to say I lost years and years of my life to this disease and I spent years undiagnosed thinking everything I had done while manic was my fault when it wasn’t. I hope anyone out there blaming themselves knows it’s not your fault.

i think i have bipolar, but i don’t know how to be sure, because at the age i am now, my parents would NEVER take me to get anything diagnosed. my parents think that all of my problems are hormones, and that feels horrible, i’m so confused and i’ve been feeling quite depressed recently. i think bipolar fits what i’m feeling recently best.

Then I'd suggest go to a doctor and talk about your feelings and try something that'd stabilize you there's lots of things you can try to help you with bipolar disorder

[@vloggerbonakid6178]

Have you gone through a Hypomania or Mania episode? If you've not encountered either of those and only encountered Depressive episodes, then it isn't BPAD. Be sure to check to a psychologist as soon as possible; Your questions may be answered the most accurate in that method.

This is the extreme option but If you're in school and tell a counselor that you want to commit suicide they'll be obligated to put you in a psychiatric hospital. It probably won't be ideal but at least you'll be able to get a diagnosis easily without having to go through your parents. That's how I got mine. I hope you find help

I had a period a few years ago now where for a full year I felt extremely over-confident, euphoric and kind of, invincible. My life was actually going very well and I thought at the time I was just very happy, had unstoppable momentum and was on the up and up! I felt absolutely fantastic! But I started doing some pretty erratic things. I found myself constantly at the pawn shop pawning all my stuff so I could buy cigarettes and skateboards, because I had gotten right into skateboarding (at 41). At one point I even pawned my car. I just never seemed to have enough money. My studies started going down hill and I didn't realise I had a real problem until it was too late and I had to withdraw. I found myself not needing much sleep, often I would wake up after just two hours and honestly felt that was plenty because I felt so good. So I would get up at 2am or 3am and go skateboarding all over the place. I'd just hang out on my own, smoking, skating and just feeling great. At some point I started skating up the middle of main roads while there was traffic coming the other way, only darting off to the side and onto the sidewalk at the last minute. And I'd be shouting out things like "Get off the road you fucken morons, I'm trying to skate here!!" and laughing my head off. There was an incident one night right out front of my apartment where a girl was robbed at knife point, the police came to our door and asked if I'd seen anything etc. Afterwards, I noticed a strange looking guy over the road, he really looked suspicious, so I decided to go after him. I armed myself with a huge screwdriver and went walking the streets in the middle of the night trying to catch this character. Later in the year, as a joke a friend of mine painted my finger nails with nail polish, and I found that I actually really enjoyed it. It looked cool. So I started doing it regularly myself and before I knew it I was using makeup, dressing in sexy lingerie and denim skirts etc, fully dressing up like a girl, and eventually I started going out in public like this because it gave me a thrill. I noticed also during this time that I honestly felt like my senses had become heightened, I could hear more clearly, I could see more clearly and it seemed as if I could see things that other people couldn't. Minor aspects of other's body language would tell me things that were going on that other people were oblivious too. At times although I felt great, I would also get aggressive very quickly. If some guy cut me off on the road while I was skating, I would yell out "Watch out mother fucker!" and more than a couple of times I ended up fronting up to guys who stopped and got out of their vehicles to fight. But each time, was probably 4 or 5 occasions, the guy would back down when he saw me, because I was usually in a kind of a rage I guess you could say. One night when I was actually in my car, a guy tried to rob me, I'm sure that's what he was doing anyway, he seemed really aggressive, so anyway I drove off but he banged the roof of my car so I slammed on the brakes, jumped out and started raging at him. He turned and took off on his bike sticking his finger up at me. I was so angry I jumped back into my car, turned around and chased him down, revving the crap out of my car, I was hot on his back wheel and fully intended to knock him off his bike but he jumped up onto the kerb and got away. One day I was needing to do a transaction at the bank and I got there just a few minutes after closing time, people were still coming out but they weren't letting people in. I argued with the lady at the door and eventually said "I'm coming in the door in two seconds and you're not going to stop me" and with that I barged my way into the bank. She grabbed me around the torso but I just pushed her off and walked right in. She was yelling and everyone started looking at me as if I was robbing the place or something. I just kept saying "I just want to do a transaction. Go away!". Some other pretty crazy stuff happened, too much to write here, but anyway by the end of the year I'd upset quite a few people and had to move out of my apartment, was ostracised by my friends, and banished from my Dad's side of the family because of a few arguments I had with my step sister. By early the following year I started feeling very differently. The euphoria had passed. Completely. I felt very alone, scared, disconnected and just kind of distant to everyone and everything around me. The world started to seem very threatening. I'd gone from having absolutely zero fear of anyone to having excessive fear about everything. I started becoming depressed, developed serious brain fog and just couldn't think clearly. I withdrew from my studies and just pretty much hid away, watching TV in a locked up house where I felt safe. I did this for the next 2 years because that was the only way I felt that people couldn't hurt me. I'm working part time now but I hate it, I hate people looking at me, and I'm still completely depressed and hide away as much as possible in my room just playing on KZbin. I've been depressed now for almost 3 years and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. My question is, does anyone think it's possible I have bipolar disorder? Something definitely doesn't feel quite right.

[@autismwizard8259]

sbarnett37tiger Barnes I’m not a clinical psychologist or a psychiatrist, but I do have an interest in mental disorders and abnormal psychology, so I’m pretty well-versed when it comes to disorders of the mind. It sounds like you had a full-blown manic episode, based on the severity of your symptoms. According to the DSM-V, you meet the criteria for a manic episode, since you had: 1) An elated mood, 2) Grandiosity, 3) A reduced need for sleep, 4) And were engaging in risky behaviour. People who experience mania do not need to experience depression to be diagnosed as bipolar. A manic episode alone means a person is suffering from bipolar type 1. But, since you experience depression: Bipolar depression tends to have reversed vegetative signs, such as weight gain and hypersomnia (sleeping too much). On top of that, people with bipolar depression tend to have rapid response to antidepressants and also can become erratic when given antidepressants. Best of luck to you :)

[@danielskibelski6165]

Just to add my experience: I'd have some days where I am so low that I know I need help, but I don't have the energy to do so. But then I'll have my manic episodes where I feel happy and powerful and don't think I need any help, it was a deadly cycle. Finally, I am on Lamotrigine and am getting better, slowly.

[@pragmaticmusing6923]

Growing up I was thought to be ADHD and later bipolar (manic/depressive). Hyperactivity (or mania) I've learned recently is one of the signs for phenylketonuria, which up until recently if I understand it right was not widely tested for. There could be many with PKU who are being treated for it with other things.

I can’t believe in 2020 the stigma that’s associated with bipolar. I was diagnosed after my mother was having manic episodes. It’s nothing to be ashamed of and is a real medical issue. My ex husband use to use it against me whenever I disagreed with him.

[@scottandrew8906]

I have it. It’s hard to live with. In relationships, women would often really like me when they see my good side, but the problem has been once in a relationship and they see the angry traits and complete mood swings, I become really hard to deal with. When I’m manic I feel a mix of euphoria, anger, and over confidence. When I’m depressed I hate myself, I get emotional, I hate sunlight, and I can’t enjoy anything. In both phases I spend money foolishly because manic I just want “maximum pleasure,” and in depressed state I try to fix it by buying things. Also I’ll be doing great at a job but suddenly can lose all interest and literally not care or even think I’m better than the boss and be totally disrespectful. People don’t understand how hard it can be to be honest.

[@Aorchid]

I agree, I also waste tons of money on stuff that I don't even remember buying in the first place and my parents (I'm a minor) don't get why I do this in the first place. (And don't worry I'm diagnosed by a professional)

I was diagnosed with bi polar two 4 months ago, they had believed it was just chronic depression and severe anxiety since I was 12 along with that suffering from pill addictions, personality disorders and adhd it was really hard for my therapist to ever pin point why I'd come back with episodes, she profusely apologized that she hadn't thought of it, though she's still my therapist and I love her I'm glad she's been there for me since I was 14 and I thank my psychiatrist for putting me on meds that have completely turned my life around, it's not fun being very homicidal then very depressed. It's really a challenge accepting i was told I have bi polar 2. It feels embarrassing and for me it still kinda feels like it's not real, like I'm just over exaggerating. It's hard to come to acceptance and I hope anyone out there can accept themselves soon, just as I am still doing. Stay strong and if you want to get better remember it's 50% medication 50% you. If medication works for you.
