Bipolar disorder has been a challenging journey, but the therapeutic benefits of psilocybin mushrooms have been transformative, with other psychedelics like DMT and LSD also playing a key role in my healing and personal growth.

I got diagnosed in rehab after being a daily drinker for about 4 years. It was a relief to finally have an answer to my excessive mood swings & why I kept self medicating. Been sober 6 months 🎉 I’m on medication specifically for bipolar & work with CBT. It’s been some of the toughest months of my 20s trying to find meds that work, a good routine, & therapy- but I’m trying

[@Reallyevelyn]

[@DominikPavel-fk2wb]

I remember few years back after my wife died, I was left alone with 3 kids. I suffered severe 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 6 years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.

[@Micnesia-c1l]

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.

[@CathieGomez-mp8sk]

YES sure of mycologist Pedroshrooms. Mushrooms literally got me off my feet and turned my whole life around. I am currently a housing manager for a recovery program. I wouldn't have been able to do that shit without psilocybin.

[@canerbakar-jv2si]

I'm so very happy for you mate, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.

[@ZieSpiralOut]

My husband is bipolar. Imagine mania like this. You have all the energy and motivation in the world but instead of cleaning up and organizing your space, you scatter everything everywhere and spend all your time deciding where you want a single pencil to go. I am really not trying to be funny for anyone thinking that, my husband is a property manager and has to deal with rent from 68 different tenants. If there’s an issue with anything, the more anxious he gets, the more random piles of money he makes until it’s a total mess. I support him through those moments the best I can and help organize it with him, usually ends up okay but I really feel for him because it’s not something he can really control. He’s done really well over the years with accepting help when it gets too much and I couldn’t be prouder really. He’s terrified of the depression side so he always steers to mania if he can. I don’t blame him there. I know depression and can’t imagine how tough bipolar depression can be, I imagine it’s worse than what I had. Being overwhelmed is one thing, being so down that you couldn’t care less about even getting out of bed is scarier to me. You could literally let your whole life just fall apart.

Watching this video made me feel better about myself, what I’m going through, and what I need to do to put myself on a right path, not just for myself but for family because I do have big dreams. I just put myself in dark place after messing up a lot with school and hopping from a couple different jobs. Also I don’t have many friends that I hang out with after graduating. Just my two boys and my family were at my side. Sometimes I just wanted to leave and not be around them anymore because I was just fed up with life atm, but in the moment I realized what I was thinking wasn’t going to make anything better and that those people do care

I won't leave my house for days, quit my jobs, and completely dissociate with video games for months. I'll get mini manic episodes before it shoots back up to full mania. Mania makes me make better art and a desire to share it. Depression makes me destroy my art. I'm in a constant cycle of building my self up just to destroy it. It's so tiring and I'm scared one day I'm just gonna end it. I don't want to die, I just want to feel somewhat normal and stable. I hate bouncing between two extremes with no in between.

Frightening for us both . My heart goes out to to ppl with this , ....my advice is tell some one if you feel a shift think what might have set it off ,go to a trusted gp ask them to monitor your levels . Keep off alcohol and drugs .you need to have clarity. Never touch it. It can change its symptoms with age as well its characteristic. My mother had a very bad turn that worsened over time in her 60s she started hearing and seeing things ,having confused thoughts mixing up the past and present lose of time talking nonsense and paranoid cold not sleep would argue .than she go missing ..with no shoes on .i was heart broken .but she got better with treatment love and understanding.

Still to this day my narcissistic mother who was very borderline and abusive stood by him. My sister never recovered from a drug she took that my other sister gave her. So she’s for ever in a psychotic state. She had a son and a very awful husband. I think she wanted to get away from him. But in return she lost herself and her son. Her son also had bipolar or severe depression. I don’t blame him I was there to protect him when he was a child from my abusive father and very neglectful mother. I was only 11 being the care take of him and my psychotic sister for three years. It took its toll I mentally broke down in school. I had to get away from my parents and so help me god I finally did even if it cost me my life. But I am older now 31 I have been through hell with abusive people and had to leave my world behind to find a better me and one that realizes I’m important I matter it’s time for me.

Thought it was the adderall but I wonder if I’ve been misdiagnosed.

I'm sorry to hear that you have had to deal with so much trauma throughout your life. There are two very clear factors that differentiate psychiatric and psychological treatment of patients with 'clinically diagnosed' bipolar disorder, which is medication induced suppression and psycho therapy. From a neuroscience and psychological perspective in relation to trauma responses and emotions/hormone factors, each individual is unique due to personal coping/self regulating mechanisms and life experiences. Unfortunately due to government regulations within the public health system, a lot of secularly trained psychiatrists fail to dig a little deeper into their patients personal psyche and unique history by asking broader questions.

I wish I got the euphoric episodes. I was misdiagnosed as having anxiety, depression and ADHD for many years and the treatments are very different. I get agitation and dysphoric hypomania. Everything becomes extremely irritating. I am trying to spread the message after having my symptoms misread for so long that mania does not necessarily look like the media portrays it. I'll get periods where I cycle rapidly, or periods where it's a week or two of hypomania followed by a week or two of depression. Occasionally I'll have a balanced day. About once a year I might get a balanced month or two! 47 years of this shit

[@deadaccount_heldinactive]

I see your point. Even the big 'Mania' is not happiness per se. It can be 'euphoric' in the sense of getting this sense of turning over a new leaf and being so excited and energized for irrelevant or unrealistic goals, and if it's coming after a big Depression it can feel like becoming yourself again and suddenly taking up new hobbies, interests, goals, etc. or picking up things you had done before and spending sleepless nights delving into them again. But there's that sense of a clock winding down or like a hamster running on a wheel and it's not genuine, relaxed, authentic happiness that just radiates inside and feels no rush or limitation -- there's a pressure and a discomfort because of some subconscious knowing that it can't last (even before I got dx with Bipolar) and then looking back on what happened in Mania and wondering wtf the point of it was lmao.

My mother is narcissistic and she is in her 70's now and has become very extreme, she has no tolerance for anything or anyone. The research ive done has involved borderline personality disorder or bipolar disorder and she has made threats to take my kids away from me and was taking them away for weekends at a time. It was three days usually a public holiday was added to it and my dayghter would come back saying mean abusive things. I actually dreaded it but I was so flat out with trying to help our severely disabled son and keeping up with his needs and the house, my eldest daughter having a break always seemed like a good idea. The reason i think bipolar could have something to do with it, is because I couldn't keep up with her and she was always changing the goalposts as far as anything was concerned.

I am almost 70, and I was just diagnosed as bipolar, last week. I went to this psychiatrist to find out if I am autistic. He said that I am mildly autistic and also bipolar. The autistic part of my diagnosis makes sense to me, but the bipolar part doesn't. He put me on bipolar medication. I am no psychiatrist, so part of me thinks I shouldn't be second guessing a professional, but if I do have symptoms of bipolar disorder that I might not recognize myself, they can't be severe, because I can't remember ever having any severe manic episodes. On occasion, I have been a little happier than usual with a feeling that something fantastic is about to happen, and it almost feels like a high or a rush, but these episodes don't really last all that long and nothing I anticipate ever comes to pass. So, I'm wondering whether it is the doctor who is mistaken, or me who is mistaken.

Rather at home or work and that drowsiness scares the crap out of me because I have to fight to stay awake while doing any activity of any kind and then while on both or either medication. If it rains the drowsiness gets even worst. At one point of my life I was on both and that turned out bad for me into my early adulthood.

You should do research on the mania and hypo mania, to see if you are experiencing those symptoms. If the mood wing is just composed of depression (low) and anxiety and frustration (high). then it’s most likely just depression. i’ve had a psychiatrist tell me I had bipolar disorder due to my insomnia. That didn’t make sense because when i didn’t sleep i didn’t even want to do anything. when i was put on the olazapine, the medication sedated. Because this medication is used for bipolar disorder, she thought I had bipolar disorder. People who use meth also use olazapine to go to sleep, does that mean they have bipolar disorder? absolutely not. another psychiatrist was fixated on the previous psychiatrists notes on me and decided to put me on lithium. i stayed on it, however i didn’t notice an improvement in either my depression or insomnia, which my psychiatrist told me it would. when i wanted to get off the lithium, my psychiatrist at the time didn’t want to because my mood would fluctuate up and down, going from mania and depression. I was at 900 mg of lithium per day, and my psychiatrist said that if i were to decrease it i would suffer major mood swings. I stopped taking it entirely and didn’t have any mood swings at all. I didn’t see my psychiatrist later on and i kept on saying can i got off the lithium, even though i was already off. my psychiatrist said that i was doing well on it, even though i had stopped taking it 6 months prior. moral of the story is that some doctors are fixated towards specific things within your treatment and entirely neglect the other aspects. just keep this in mind because doctors can’t actually know what you feel like.

[@kennethgarcia25]

The most common error mental health workers make in the understanding of bipolar disorder is the failure to consider very common conditions which are similar to bipolar disorder and therefore often misconstrued as bipolar disorder. Such is typically the case of borderline personality disorder. The error arises because of the lack of consideration of the relationship between environmental triggers and the symptomatogy! Psychopathological states must be assessed on the basis of their relationship between external events, which would reflect a process of "interpreted meaning", versus no clear relationship with external events, which would reflect an internally triggered event and a wholly distinct etiology! Both can look similar, but are not the same with regards to the timecourse. However, while the timecourse can have some variation and may not be as reliable an indicator, the presence or absence of a correlation with external events can prove very trustworthy.

It has a very high mortality and suicide rate with a drastically lower life expectancy than average, and most with Bipolar I either do not work or can only maintain part time employment according to longitudinal studies. It is also so heavily stigmatized and difficult to understand or cope with from the outside (for loved ones) that it can be hard to find support and I know my aunt married a man who hid his bipolar until they were married because he was afraid she'd judge him, but she became so judgmental of his disorder and scared by stigma that they ended up divorcing (though he was medicated and she had been in love with him). I even have a hard time finding psychologists who get it and just recently found a therapist who would want to work with me specifically knowing I have Bipolar I instead of shying away or not knowing what to say. It ruins lives especially before dx and meds. If it has psychotic features or catatonic features it's even more horrifying.

Mania is the dangerous part... you will have psychosis.. you will start see things in a different way.. hallucinations.. the case against me happened because I was manic at that time..I was manic when I met vr in person in 2022 ..One day I left home in the evening and went to Direction institute..it was closed ..I was taken to kuthirravattom..I didn't take phone and specs.. for my parents it was like I went missing..my father met vr and created a scene at his office..as he thought vr was the reason for my absence..at last I give my mother's number and counsellors of kuthirravattom called my parents... even after creating this much drama I was in denial that I have bipolar.. didn't take medicines Mania makes you do weird things

I'm bipolar and my ex was too and she literally did a b and e then bit and cut open a main artery in her arm .she got put in the psych ward and they gave her electro shock therapy and it was like being with a different person. I felt like they were frying her brain plus they had her on all types of psych meds too ,it was wild

How in the world did your marriage work?

[@alkasoli4002]

My bipolar story is famous in my locality as I created a scene on road once...one fellow asked my mom to leave my hometown and shift to some where else..he told my mom that it's a girl...she won't get marriage proposals...my mom told him angane ollichodunnathu Sheri alalo..we have been here for more than 30 years..I will say I have done mistakes in life...but those mistakes don't define me

I know someone who will tell me they love me and 10 minutes later tell me they hate me within the same conversation. What is that?

[@haythamzodi4360]

Love this video, was just wondering if there are any sources/references for the facts?

[@davidtiamzon7150]

I think "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition", would help you :)

[@itsallrelative1655]

This doesn’t exactly fit the criteria of your question, but for myself the most informative and detailed source here on youtube is ‘Polar Warriors’. It’s supported by the International Bipolar Foundation. And Rob is just an amazing guy, with an incredible story.

Did you know that the number one trait of highly successful people is they think they are better than other people.
