You know how hard it is to stay on a weight loss routine with Bipolar and BPD. Pray for me. I'm 60 and need to get 90 lbs off for my health. Had VSG 9 years ago, still weigh 222, way to much for 5'3"

One day, I was completely overweight. 260 5’8 tall, depressed and had stayed home for 2 years not taking to anyone. I remember going for a run one day, and thinking “why tf am I even doing this pointless shit?” Then it dawned on me. When you have bpd, even the things you enjoy are pointless. There’s no reason to think about it anymore. Do things “because” they’re pointless, I started running 1 mile, then 3, then I’d do 3 more, then went on to doing marathons. Running turns off my brain, and hurts me. Both things I want for myself when I’m depressed. Go run your ass off, I promise it won’t be for nothing

Denmark, Europe. Thank you for showing not only the stuff about mania

Loved this video, Rob! Thanks for letting us know about Julie’s book!

👋🏽 Hello from Texas! Thank you for the great videos, they always help me learn something new about living with bipolar disorder. I’ve been enjoying Julie’s articles for a while now and I’ll have to make sure to get a copy of her book.

Hi Rob! Here from New Jersey and I can’t thank you enough for your videos! I’ve known my SO since I was 15, we were BEST friends my whole life and for the past 10 years. About 2 years ago things started changing and I KNOW him so well I knew something was not right. Turns out after he gets the girl of his dreams apparently (me) and a family of his own…our fairy tale turned into a bi polar nightmare. I’m so grateful for your videos because they are truly helping me make sense of ALOT that didn’t make any sense at all. I can’t express how much that means and helps me currently!! Thank you a million times for your amazing videos! ❤ With things like the videos to help us gain knowledge I’m hoping we can make it through another 10 years.! Hope your well!!

Wyoming here. Your channel has been and is so very helpful. I appreciate what you do Rob in bringing so much information. You are awesome and thank you!

Hello Rob, I am in New York but i was in texas for a while before my bipolar disorder just got too much for me to handle alone. Your videos have been spot on for the past 4 years and i thank you for helping me see the need for help!!

Hi Rob, listening to you from Australia. Keep up the great work & suggestions.

I just found ypur channel, I'm in tears bc this explains me so much. I finally managed to get into therapy. Thank you for this insightful content from Upstate NY!

From the US in Georgia and I’ve been watching and studying your videos for 4-5 years now ever since my diagnosis. I always knew I was different but having an actual diagnosis on paper with a plan in progress really helped validate my feelings and perspective. Seeing vlogs like yours makes me feel less alone and lets me know that I’m not the only one who feels all sorts of ways sometimes. Thanks!!

I'm in Arkansas Robert. Sorry I haven't written in awhile. I have been finding ways to make it without med's and I thank you pointing out the agitated state of depression. I have had some of those feelings but I don't act on them like I used to... but I still have my moments. You are and have been a tremendous help to me and I thank you on behalf of myself and the whole bipolar community. Stay well brother!

Houston! Thank you, your videos helped me tremendously at a time I had no clue about BD, in complete darkness. It helped me better understand my husband and understand what I was dealing with. I know how overwhelming it is and that is why I am so thankful that you still take the time to do this work. Julie is amazing! I must have read everything she has said and written, I remember this article. You both have been tremendously helpful, many many thanks.

Indiana here, and I love this channel. It’s always helpful!

Virginia. Your content has helped me navigate my life in more effective ways, now that I understand what I’m working with.

I'm from Nevada. Thank you for your videos and all the work you do to help bipolar people.

Rob! Always good to see you. You're looking good & healthy too brother! I personally appreciate you!!

Recently discovered your channel through my therapist. I've been diagnosed bi-polar II for a couple of years now but I never had the strength to face it, I've always been and still am scared of my diagnosis. But your channel has helped me understand that it's not so scary and I don't have to do it alone. I hope that leaving a comment will drive engagement and help grow your channel to the size it deserves, thank you

Thank you for the videos. This all makes so much sense. I didn't know those feelings were part of depression. I really appreciate all you do. Thanks again from Ontario, Canada.

Jacksonville Florida. I've been following this channel for about a year now and am so grateful that you do these, thank you! I'm 57, was diagnosed in my early 30s... which explained so much about the behaviors I'd been experiencing my entire life before the diagnosis; my family and friends always rolled their eyes and made fun of my "moods" or blatantly told me to "get over it! Enough with your moods! Man up" This video especially hit home for me; I am in and have been in the exact irritable/angry space you describe for over a year now, I know what the trigger was, and do my best to calm myself... but it's fucking exhausting. As so many others have said, just knowing I'm not the only one is a great relief!!

@@AlJihAdIGuY They know when they are severely depressed and unable to be well in their lives. These people have often lived with the critical judgements of family members, friends and employers for decades. Many have learned to believe that they are - for example, reckless, thoughtless, uncaring, irresponsible, chaotic personalities - long before any consultation with a doctor or psychiatrist, and accurate diagnosis. /Just as your own physical and mental state can fluctuate across your life - so it does the same for a person living with BP.

Washington State here. I seem to be most in denial about the depressive side of BPD I deal with if I am able to get out if bed, but this reminds me there is so much more to it and I need to broaden my idea and definition of a depressive episode. That helps me be less hard on myself, so often when I am behaving with some or all of these symptoms, I feel it's a moral failing... This reminds me I am dealing with something bigger than me and be gentler with myself. Thank you so much for this channel. 😊

I am from South Africa. I am so grateful to have found your wonderful videos very recently. My belief was I had been incorrectly diagnosed. Your videos have convinced me I was wrong. The meds are a life long commitment and so are keeping in touch with my feelings and moods. I was diagnosed at the ripe old age of 65 which is nine years ago. It surfaced after a new relationship with a narcissist. The wheels came off totally, including an attempted suicide. There is no white washing only complete honesty from you. Thank you Rob for making me feel less of a pariah. I have lost the respect of my family, but fortunately have a few supportive friends.

Hi Im Joanna and Im in Cornwall, UK. I was diagnosed at 15 (I'm 46) with Bipolar 1. My Bipolar has been managed for 20 years. Your channel is great, thank you 😀

I'm from Sydney, Australia and have met someone with Bipolar. It helps me understand what I can do to help her along her journey and be mindful of my thoughts and actions.

This was really good to hear. All of these components to the bipolar depression resonated with how my own struggles have presented. So its good to know that this is apart of the illness and not a defect in character in myself. Although, I am responsible for what I may so, think, or even do, this helped me today.

Poland, Warsaw Hello Rob! You are amazing. I love your compassion and empathy. You've been saying things that matter to me for a long time. Thank you so much for sharing your advice and experiences. It's really worth hearing about bipolar from a man. Because men usually don't talk about it publicly because they're afraid of their image. Good luck to you! Greetings from Poland Agatha

You are the best l hear all my life describing so good bipolar is like explaining all my life till now. Thank you very much for helping others , you definitely helped me more than any psychologist l have seen in decades.

The infamous “clinical depression”… hate those words. 5 years wasted trying to treat that what I did not have and making worse the unbalance of my bipolar disorder. During those years I destroyed my finances, made some very time and energy consuming engagement towards people I do not want to disappoint which ruins my self daily and most of all I thoroughly destroyed my mariage with the love of my life. By the time I was medicated and realized all that it was 2 years later and there was no way back. Misdiagnosis is one of the worst things about this disease.

I am from Washington state moved to Tulsa Oklahoma in 2013, blessed with a ruptured brain aneurysm and stroke in 2015 and diagnosed Bipolar type 1 in March of 2020- your videos saw me through the worst of it Isolated and alone through covid.

Hi Rob. I'm outside of Detroit, Michigan. Thank you for all you do.

Lately I have been feeling like a burden towards everyone around me. It’s really hard to manage this diagnosis while on bed rest for 3 months.. I hurts when I seek for help or express myself, I get judge on the diagnosis. It brings me so down that I feel worthless at times. I can’t stress this enough the people you’re surrounded with can either make it worse or help you for better. I thank you for this video. We are not alone! I hope we manage it so well we forget we ever had it, so we can become to best version for ourselves ❤

I'm currently in a bipolar depression and only leave the house if I MUST. I get everything delivered to my house. I have 4 adult married son's and 7 Grandchildren. I don't get very much hypomania but absolutely LOVE it when I do. It devastates me when I crash again and YES I always attract narcissistic men who gaslight me. I wish I could just go off to sleep and not wake up. I have trouble GETTING to sleep but then sleep for HOURS. I also sleep for about 4 hours every afternoon.

Hi Rob, I haven't commented on your videos yet, but since I came across your channel a few weeks ago I've listened to some of them here and there. I think through watching your videos I can now realize that perhaps I've been afflicted with Bipolar. I may never be able to get a diagnosis, but that's alright. Just the knowledge of that and admitting to myself that I have this is enough for me to take precautions. In a way, I already have been adapting to it for a long time, just not always in the most healthy of ways. I have my own routine that allows me to function in what I call a middle zone. Anyway, I meant to comment on this video simply to say thank you for your videos and for making this channel. I appreciate it and it has helped.

My bipolar mom had huuuuuge headaches and was treated for all kinds of neuro conditions, and was never treated for bipolar depression, she spent 30 years untreated.

Greetings from California! Thank you for taking the time to watch! We have a really amazing community of people here. I hope you will continue to stop by. If you’d like to connect, there’s a link in the video description to my private community where you can reach me directly anytime. Take extra good care of yourself! - Rob

I watched your videos years ago when I was in a terrible state thinking I may be bi polar. Started therapy over a year ago and we got through a lot of the trauma work just to realize I may have bipolar as well. While I don’t match a lot of the typical manic symptoms I do match all of these. I was referred to a psychiatrist but thankful for these videos in the meantime

Thank you so much for your videos! You are truly a lifesaver and I wish I could help you more. You help me hold on to that last little stitch of reality.

Hi from Türkiye. I was diagnosed with major depression and over 10 years I got medication and therapy but it didn’t helped me. Also when I felt great I cut the meds and therapy and I got worse every year. Finally I met my current doctor and she suggested that I might have bd because of my some behaviours that depressed people don’t have. I’m taking my antidepresant as well as lithium. My lithium level is still low but I’m also having weekly thearpy with a psycologist. I feel better each day. I think correct diagnosis is the key. Love the videos thanks ☺️

Have you tried Altuda?

From the Philippines. I've been listening to your videos for quite sometime now. And having listened to this video I think my wife is in Bipolar Disorder Depression. Hopefully she will agree for follow-up consult to her psychiatrist this time. Thank you so much for all the info you are sharing about this mental illness. God bless you always.

Your a good man polar warrior everything you mentioned about all the symptoms and actions for bipolar disorder depression were excellent and I can't control my things when it comes to my behaviors but my medicine helps me get through the day so keep doing what your doing because your right on point and bipolar disorder depression is a very hard thing to deal with in life

I live in Germany 🇩🇪, but originally from Russia. You channel is the only one I support on Patreon. Your videos were (and still are!) the GREAT support for me when I went through the darkest time if my life in 2018. When my husband asked me why I never skip your videos I told him "because when I listen to this guy I feel like someone is holding me with a cozy blanket telling that everything will be good" 😊

My Bipolar spirituality has come a long way and now I am praying that my wife can heal too. Your videos show me what she is facing. Thank you.

Rob, your vids have been so helpful for our family! My youngest daughter deals with ultra ultra rapid cycling. A full cycle of manic to low and back again is 5 days, week after week.

@Freetobeme Me that comment, although I hope you did not mean it to be, sounded unkind. Unkind, because it was stated without any knowledge of the time, effort, counseling, medical appointments, sleepless nights, difficult days and meds that have been our life with her for the past 5.5 years.
