I worry for your neighbor but also for you. You mention that the situation is triggering and how could it not be. Take care of yourself and do what you can. ❤

So my wife is both bi polar and Borderline. She has an addiction issue as well which has just made everything a 100x worse. She has said and done such awful things to me the last 3 years but I can't bring myself to give up on her even though everyone has told me I need to take care of myself now. In the last year she has stolen $4000 from me and threatened to kill herself numerous times if I didn't give her money. She has been prescribed medication but she doesn't stay on it. She is living with some other guy who is also an addict and they are involved in all kinds of illegal activity. I haven't heard from her at all in the last 4 months. I know I have to move on but it's hard. If she would just stay on her medication things could be different but I can't make that happen. Thanks for your videos. It helps me to hear you explain what you are feeling and going though as someone suffering with this awful illness.

That title is some nice click bait lol!! Steph!! I'm sooooo happy Chance is with you, he looks so happy with you. You gave him a Chance. His name is so fitting isn't it. If I ever get to speak to you one on one, I'll tell you about the blind dog I picked up on the highway middle of the night, he was dumped to get hit by a car, totally blind. Sick people! I named him Chance, because how I actually found him (walked infront of my car), I was nearly the one to hit him with my car, and how by some chance, it was the car of an animal rescuer. And he so deserved a chance. So that was his name. He sadly passed away last year, but he lived 3 years with me before crossing the rainbow bridge. You are such a good person, I just love your videos, watching your outings etc. I could so do with a spa day, so awesome! You are meant to chat to us on the live chat during your Premier, you weren't there :-( I look forward to your next. Love you friend! You are awesome!!

Omg I didn't know that!!! I will next time for sure! People can be unbelievable sometimes. That story is so beautiful and so are you. I'm sorry for your loss, it never gets easier. If you have instagram there is a farm santuary here called The Gentle Barn and they post the cutest stuff!

I'm not sure how deadly it is being left untreated....also you can be cured.

Hi!!! Thank you for your comment! 20% of Bipolar people end their life by suicide. 20-60% attempt suicide. We also partake in risky behavior and become a danger to ourselves and others. Unfortunately there is no cure for Bipolar Disorder there is only medication management. We still experience symptoms but medication helps.

I think taking medicine should raise a lot of serious questions because of the side effects (known and unknown) it also points to submission and enslavement(oppression).

Sadly, if only we could just do it without medication, none of us would be struggling. The medication saved my life, as did it Steph's. It's not enslavement if its a choice. And if it helps us feel better and function, why deny this to us. Must we suffer? Because when I am not medicated, I suffer, and would probably have been dead already. No different than taking life saving medication for diabetes. It's a very serious illness, and it has treatment to help manage the symptoms. Side effects are a small price to pay, and I have found my side effects minimal. I would rather a few mild side effects than dead. People need to be more educated around mental health. It is not a choice, we don't one day wake up and decide to go off the rails. If I could cure or get rid of this illness and not need medication to help me feel functional, I would beg for the cure! It's not easy in the least bit. If I could pray the illness away, I would have been cured long ago. It is just not that simple. Brain chemistry is real, and an exorcism of the "demonic" dopamine, serotonin and gaba etc in my brain, is just not going to work. I've had people want to save me with prayer and exorcism. I need to say to those people, if you believe you need an exorcist to help cure a mental illness, you are the one who needs the exorcist or medication. If people believe it can be prayed away, tell that to the many devoted believers who still suffer every day no matter how much prayer. God gave us the gift of doctors and medicine, why look a gift horse in the mouth, it is only being spiteful to oneself.

Thx for your reply. I understand where you are coming from. And I still disagree with you on many of your points, but I don't think it would be worth going deeper. I have plenty of knowledge on mental health and tons of research on meds. I wish you and your channel the best of luck. I do believe you are doing a good thing and have a positive outlook on things. Thx again for replying to my comments. See you!

Why is it in some cases mental illness and drug use/abuse coexist? Are you vegan?

@BipolarPerson

I don't know..I think self medicating. Yes, vegan for 8 years was vegetarian for 10 before that. Long story but my husband basically gave me more money to gamble in Vegas if I went vegan. I did not want to, but really wanted to play wheel of fortune more😁😀I loved cheese...then we watched Forks Over Knives and that changed my life. Should I show more recipes?

Vegans rock!! :-) I was very, very, very brave, I watched Dominion. Before that I watched earthlings. The images will never leave my mind. I cried for weeks seeing the raw footage of what is actually going on behind the scenes. My friend and I have tried numerous times to just take a photo or recording outside the abattoir, where you can hear the animals screaming. They phone the cops on us. What have they got to hide? Even if you ask if you can come see how things work, they refuse to let anyone in, refuse any photos, even of the building from across the street. If things are so humane, why the screaming, and what are they hiding that they are so cagey and defensive, and call the cops if one just parks outside in the street for longer than 5 min. Its a public road. I'm taking photos and a video of the building where the animals just happen to be screaming. What these people will do for profit, and to keep the truth so well hidden.

Wait what?

Are you really?
