    As someone with bipolar II I’d never in a million years choose to live with this illness than to not. I’ve lost all my friends because of it. I’ve lost great jobs because of it. I lost my car. I went to jail. I went into debt I’m still trying to get out of. And I have parents that still think I’m just mopping around and being lazy.

    Yes you are absolutely right! A lot of people don't care to understand or just can't handle it because we're so destructive sometimes & than we're so depressed & low sometimes & they just truly can't handle the extremes & the inconsistency! But some people are willing to look past all of that & see the real you & know okay that's not her/him that's their mental illness & will actually stick with you through it all! Very few & far between, in my life anyway, so I am truly grateful for anyone who has a friend in your life like him! It feels good to know that someone out there actually sees you, the real you & not just your mental illness & defines you by it!! Thank you for saying something about this because not enough people realize or truly appreciate someone like him in their lives & not all of us have someone like him in our lives either!! Kudos to you for being an amazing human being & friend! You're both lucky to have each other in your life ❣️💯💜💚☯️👋

    Maybe you aren’t bipolar because even when a bipolar person is sober they will still have symptoms of bipolar and difficulty maybe you had substance abuse disorder which was the cause for most of your symptoms considering you saying being sober got rid of your symptoms lol. A lot of ppl get misdiagnosed and their behavior is actually due to their addictions. With bipolar your symptoms don’t go away just because you’re sober that’s the difference. A lot of addicts display behaviors of bipolar or ASPD but once they get sober all of those behaviors and symptoms they had from the drugs or alcohol go away so it’s more linked to drugs and alcohol. Bipolar doesn’t get better just because you’re sober both times i went into psychosis I was sober. Smoking Weed actually helps me avoid mania.

    I’m bipolar and I lost everything. I spent years laying in bed with closed windows all the time, I lost all my friends but two, I lost my job, my parents thought that it was all an act and I was lazy and started to believe me the second time I tried to unalive myself, but even then they didn’t want me to take drugs, and said that I had to “help myself”. I lost all my pleasure in doing the activity that I once loved, and it took 11 years to find the right combination of medications. But in the meantime I gained over 100 pounds, so I hated my face and my body. I didn’t marry, and I haven’t had a meaningful relationship because is almost impossible bear with my mood changes. Would I live without bipolar disorder? Hell yeah.

    I agree with some of this, but the idea that you’ll always go between two extremes is only partially correct. Study Jung regarding enantiodromia and learn why it affects people. The only way through anything is known as the 3rd thing (transcendent function). Basically what this means is that the mind finds balance in realizing that the truth is a blend of the conscious and unconscious mind. The West has no idea about the unconscious mind and so it is demonized, and the result is mental illness.

    Watching things like this always makes me cry. I was diagnosed with bipolar type 1 last year, at 24. Before that I was so cruel to myself, always thinking that I was weak, crazy, not enough (when I was depressed) or too much (when I was euphoric -which was often). I just wish I could hug my teen version, saying that she wasn’t to blame of anything and things would eventually get better.

    childhood. It was relentless. I assumed it would ultimately end me somehow. About twelve years ago I randomly accepted the offer from a friend of a few doses of mushrooms. I did them two consecutive nights alone. First night was pretty mild. The second night? Wow. I saw my depression from every angle, realized much. Next day: depression totally gone. Never came back, never coming back. It's like it's a forest far away I can remember, and could probably find again with enough effort, but it has zero impact on anything in my life or mind. They honestly saved my life and improved it immensely. I never did them again, either. I wish there was a good, organized way to administer them to people who would benefit from them.

    I was diagnosed with BPD and Bipolar disorder. The hardest part for me is when those days come when I have no energy and even a text message is too much. People think I’m lazy and love failing. Imagine waking up in bed and being so drained and terrified at the same time. It’s a miracle I’m still here and accomplished what I have.

    As a person with bipolar type 2, being touch with friends is quite difficult. When I’m in a depressive episode, I can’t reply anyone. And when I see people, I’m hypomanic so they think I have no problems. It’s been hard without working or studying. But I hope it will change at some point soon.

    Manatee J, same here, bipolar 2. with long history of misdiagnosis. finally I know what is it, so I tried almost everything. everybody is different. Finally I feel OK with Trintelix, Diazepam and Pregabalin and if something changes (+ or -) I surch on the net and in my memories and go to see my GP if it is serious and take something for a short period of time. BUT these 3 meds are the basic and for me made miracles after 20 years of useless meds with horrible side effects. I had a long very deep depressive episode so I almost didn't leave the 🏠 max twice a month. I didn't feel the covid 19 lockdowns ( there were 2 here in Ireland). But with those 3 combo I am able to work. but friends. oh God, it was always so difficult to keep m friends. I have only 1 bf ( ms sister) and the others are only a long term performance, I simple studied and watched others' behaviour. So I absolutely understand you.

    Tyler Z The True Cause of Bipolar Disorder A common theory for an answer for bipolar disorder is a chemical imbalance in the brain. The truth is, however, that it is impossible for the body to naturally disrupt its own chemicals and cause an imbalance when there are no outside factors. There is an actual tangible substance that is disrupting the brain and its mental functioning. The answer is toxic heavy metals. Research and medicine stay away from the discussion on toxic heavy metals. There is little to no conversation about them in medical communities, let alone in relation to how they cause mental disorders. There is so much controversy surrounding heavy metals that scientists do their best to neglect them altogether. As a result, medical communities are completely unaware of just how many illnesses toxic heavy metals play a role in. Toxic heavy metals are present in petroleum, plastics, antibiotics, and countless other drugs so it is no wonder science and research ignore them. The idea that the very things doctors are prescribing for healing and managing diseases contain ingredients which are harmful would be damaging to the pharmaceutical industry. Toxic heavy metals are also in our water supply, falling out of the sky, and found in a multitude of other places. If you could examine the heavy metals in the brains of those who have bipolar disorder, you would begin to see why this disease manifests itself so differently in each individual. Heavy metals of all kinds, including copper, mercury, lead, and aluminum, find their way into the body either at conception, during pregnancy, at birth, or afterwards. People can also get heavy metals later in life from pesticides, which contain heavy metals, the metals in kitchenware, old copper pipes, and many other sources. Heavy metals are passed down generationally, which is one reason why children can have heavy metals in their systems when they are so young. This truth is still unknown to medical communities and science and research. It’s critical to understand how these toxic heavy metals can impact you and your loved ones and be contributing to chronic illnesses. From the Medical Medium book series.

    Anyone that has any type of mental health problems has been through it is generally like that. I used to be arrogant asf about it too. Then life stood up and backhand bitch slapped me for 4 years straight. Developed a slight case of general anxiety due to extreme stress, extreme sleep deprivation and insane caffeine drinking. There were signs, but I ignored it. Well the anxiety has persisted. Now I have issue with being in anything enclosed with tons of people. Planes, gyms etc....I dont even know why. My condition may be small but I'll just say this...people that fight a debilitating mental health disease that they need to be medicated for are fuckin warriors. Stronger than I ever could be.

    Roughly about 10% of the worlds population have a third eye/ear - meaning they can see and/or hear spirits. To those who can hear/see spirits - you are NOT crazy, your brain is NOT acting up, the spirits are REAL ! I've had this for more than 25 years now. At first I went to the usual therapy sessions and medications just like you. But then the problem kept coming back - meaning the treatment addressed only the EFFECTS and not the CAUSE. So I researched this meticulously myself and found the ROOT CAUSE - SPIRITS. Once I knew the REAL reason, I was set FREE ! Since then I've been meds free for the last 16 years now. I'm OK now and live a normal life. The spirits hardly bother me now. The Truth will set you FREE. Our physical and spirit world exists in parallel dimensions - separated by force fields. The spirits can see/hear us, while we can't see/hear them .. NORMALLY. But anything that seriously WEAKENS your body, embitters your soul, and affects your FAITH in God, also WEAKENS your spiritual aura/force field and allows the evil spirits to communicate with you. You can get schizophrenia from various reasons like a serious head injury, use of illegal drugs, practice of black magic, or by experiencing traumatic events like rape, bullying, rejection, death of a loved one or near-death experience. Any Traumatic Psychological Event. You can pick RANDOM evil spirits from morgue, cemeteries, hospitals, asylums, jails, dungeons, and abandoned houses and forests. Places of Torment and Death. Evil spirits are like BULLIES - they choose their victims well ! They can smell fear, bitterness and doubt - key soul weaknesses. Spirits communicate by telepathy - mind to mind, that's why ONLY you can see or hear them. Spirits can also DISTORT speech. For example if your friend is talking to you nicely as usual, you'll instead hear him/her MOCKING you, so you'll get ANGRY. That's how spirits make you paranoid & anti-social. They want to isolate you socially. You're their TOY !! Spirits can also SHAPE SHIFT - appear in ANY form (animal or people) they desire. They can IMITATE other peoples LOOKS and/or VOICES and pretend like real people. Spirits can also produce SOUNDS like knocking on doors, footsteps, crying or screaming people, scratching on walls, police sirens, barking dogs etc. Their plan is to ISOLATE you socially .. for themselves. Make people think you're CRAZY .. even if you re NOT. Resist them, Dont give up .. or you're really gonna end up crazy. Remember this, its NOT you but THEM (spirits) thats causing this. Fight them. If the problem is spiritual, the solution is also spiritual ! Get close to GOD. I also found out listening to Worship Praise Songs (via earphones) helps block the voices, even drives them away ! BTW this is NOT a substitute for NOT taking your meds. Take them if you need them. Good luck, Stay Safe and God Bless.

    I have bipolar disorder and I'm currently dealing with the horrendous guilt for taking time away from work. I'm currently on week three. I have worked in my company for sixteen years but recently moved in to a new role. A huge trigger for me is dealing with the dynamics of new people, and with the stress of a new job and dealing with the 'people politics' I went into a hypomanic phase to the point where the voices and thoughts in my head were going so fast that I literally imploded. I have had my bipolar diagnosis for years now and manage it with exercise and diet. I obviously take meds but I don't think people realize how important training is for me. I'm currently worried how people will perceive me as I'm off work, I'm scared they think I'm lazy or crazy or I'm just taking the piss.

    This disorder took to much away from me. I almost ended up living on the streets. its taken a huge negative toll on my life. I became aware of what was wrong with me when i was 32. By that time i had ruined a lot of relationships, jobs, walked away from college when i had high grades and was close to graduating, i racked up 30,000 in debt because of it. I had fallen into a deep depression and didnt realize why, i thought it was just who i was. Now im 40, ive surrounded myself with a great support group, ive talked with my wife about what i go through, she now listens and works with me. Cannabis has also helped me a lot.... I know its not for everyone, but its helped more than the pills that were prescribed... i used to be anti marijuana until i discovered the effects it has on the brain, life has gotten way better. to anyone reading this, hang in there... there are better days ahead

    people come and go. Some people walk with you only a part of the way on the walk of life, some longer than others. Then there are maybe even some people that will go all the way with you If they don’t love and understand you for the person you are or only like one version of you they’re simply not worth spending your time with anymore. It was okay to walk with them for a certain time and it maybe were really fun times but sometimes it’s necessary for you to let them go when you notice that they’re not good for you anymore. You’ll always meet new people that will go with you, that understand and love you♥️ focus on that and the few people that you currently have in your life rather than on what is in the past, cut all toxic people from your life and it will make you realize your self worth, that you are worth it being understood and loved just like anybody else and that it doesn’t have to be different for you and that you don’t need to be happier with less just because you have a disease have a nice day❤

    I was misdiagnosed when I was 13 with Panic Disorder and MDD. I always remember starting multiple projects and being scolded for not finishing any of them and losing my motivation. In high school, I began to get random bursts of energy and an urge to run. When I was 21, I was diagnosed with Bipolar 2. I felt like I was going insane and my suicidal thoughts and plans were messing with me. I went to college in NYC (I actually went to Fordham as well like Andrea), I remember wanting to run from W 59th St all the way to Wall Street running. Much respect for Andrea and Allister. Keep fighting. Mental health is so important.

I also consider that this is part of myself and some of the greatest thing I've done is because of it.

A hard realization everyone has to go through is that the only person responsible for your wellbeing is you. Also, @collide, comments like yours are why people with mental illness feel too ashamed to seek help. Would you say the same to someone with a physical illness?

    Roughly about 10% of the worlds population have a third eye/ear - meaning they can see and/or hear spirits. To those who can hear/see spirits - you are NOT crazy, your brain is NOT acting up, the spirits are REAL ! I've had this for more than 25 years now. At first I went to the usual therapy sessions and medications just like you. But then the problem kept coming back - meaning the treatment addressed only the EFFECTS and not the CAUSE. So I researched this meticulously myself and found the ROOT CAUSE - SPIRITS. Once I knew the REAL reason, I was set FREE ! Since then I've been meds free for the last 16 years now. I'm OK now and live a normal life. The spirits hardly bother me now. The Truth will set you FREE. Our physical and spirit world exists in parallel dimensions - separated by force fields. The spirits can see/hear us, while we can't see/hear them .. NORMALLY. But anything that seriously WEAKENS your body, embitters your soul, and affects your FAITH in God, also WEAKENS your spiritual aura/force field and allows the evil spirits to communicate with you. You can get schizophrenia from various reasons like a serious head injury, use of illegal drugs, practice of black magic, or by experiencing traumatic events like rape, bullying, rejection, death of a loved one or near-death experience. Any Traumatic Psychological Event. You can pick RANDOM evil spirits from morgue, cemeteries, hospitals, asylums, jails, dungeons, and abandoned houses and forests. Places of Torment and Death. Evil spirits are like BULLIES - they choose their victims well ! They can smell fear, bitterness and doubt - key soul weaknesses. Spirits communicate by telepathy - mind to mind, that's why ONLY you can see or hear them. Spirits can also DISTORT speech. For example if your friend is talking to you nicely as usual, you'll instead hear him/her MOCKING you, so you'll get ANGRY. That's how spirits make you paranoid & anti-social. They want to isolate you socially. You're their TOY !! Spirits can also SHAPE SHIFT - appear in ANY form (animal or people) they desire. They can IMITATE other peoples LOOKS and/or VOICES and pretend like real people. Spirits can also produce SOUNDS like knocking on doors, footsteps, crying or screaming people, scratching on walls, police sirens, barking dogs etc. Their plan is to ISOLATE you socially .. for themselves. Make people think you're CRAZY .. even if you re NOT. Resist them, Dont give up .. or you're really gonna end up crazy. Remember this, its NOT you but THEM (spirits) thats causing this. Fight them. If the problem is spiritual, the solution is also spiritual ! Get close to GOD. I also found out listening to Worship Praise Songs (via earphones) helps block the voices, even drives them away ! BTW this is NOT a substitute for NOT taking your meds. Take them if you need them. Good luck, Stay Safe and God Bless.

You feel good doing it but if you help too many people and get stretched thin, or care more for others than u do yourself, or get hurt because u would kill or die for someone who wouldn't give u a sodapop, then your just consumed with pain and overwhelmed, as well as feeling helpless, without a sense of purpose or feeling like u can't do anything right. But yes I agree with you, it feels so good in that moment to help other's, especially if u did it in private, but other times it also feels great when they give u credit in public. Bipolar Disorder is so unpredictable and confusing and draining in every way and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

    I see so many of the stories I've experienced myself in these posts. Bi-polar II. PTSD. I have had high level jobs where I managed for 2-3 years, but in all relationships and employment I've had (even on meds) nothing ever lasts. I sometimes scream at the sky wtf was I even born? Again...I'm on meds. Losing my fiance to suicide a decade ago sent me into a spiral I've never been able to fully come out of. It sucks, and the stigma that comes with it doesn't help. Generally anywhere I've lived my medication gets messed with, and my neighbors and pretty much anyone in a 100 mile radius knows when I'm off my meds. This is not an easy life despite not wearing my illness like a broken leg or arm. I'm broken on the inside, and that is harder for people to understand.

    Was like that for a big chunk of my life. I just had to force myself to exercise and soon I found myself relying on the endorphin release after working out everyday. Feel good everyday first. It's pivotal for improving mental health in the long run and gaining self confidence too. Your mind doesn't like the body at a vegetative state so naturally sends strong impulses manifesting as self esteem issues, in my experience atleast. Third party factors do exist obviously (like entitled mouth breathers who judge you) but atleast you'll have a stable mind to deal with unforseen situations and keep your wits about you, since you start loving yourself and managing expectations with social interaction.

    I love how they all talk about the medication "dance" and how we all struggle to find our right "cocktail" of drugs. I've been stable for years and I fear one of my meds will stop working. It took over 10 years to find the right combo for my BP 1. Seroquel, Wellbutrin, Xanax, Klonopin, Clonidine, and Hydroxyzine. I've been on dozens of psychotropic drugs as I also suffer from ADHD, Social Anxiety Disorder, and Opioid Use Disorder. I've been sober from opioids since 2015 after almost dying of an overdose. I was on Suboxone for six years then Sublocade for another year and a half. I had my last shot in Septemeber and I'm trying to just taper off. Since finding the right combo I've been able to get off SSDI, go back to college and finish my Associates degree and reenter the workforce. A lot of hard work and suffering went into finding this stability. I also was the first born and my mother was 19 when I was born. My parents divorced when I was little and my parents soon remarried. My stepdad committed suicide when I was 12 and my father married a psychopath. I've been hospitalized at least half a dozen times. Growing up my father did not believe in medication, my mental health struggles were a disciplinary issue in his mind, not the result of serious mental disorders.

It kindve is a part of them in a sense, but depression and anxiety can be more short term acute issues rather than a core part of someone. Or for example a personality disorder is quite literally a part of someone’s personality and it very much defines them. Personally i have cptsd and i would never choose it, but it is also a part of my history and made me how i am today, even if i didnt want it to define me in some ways or another it does.

    So glad I came across this video it’s good to see someone who deals with similar episodes, when I say good I mean, makes me feel that I’m still worthy to make this life work, Aug 11 2021 I tried to take my life, I have bipolar 1 and when I go high I can go for almost 6months, I can learn new skills and have been dabbling into writing free styling and rapping for about 10yrs, when I crash my depression is so low I can’t bare it, it’s like time stands still and I’m being attacked by something evil, I would never wish this illness on anyone, but I thank you for sharing your life with us, ♥️🤟🏿🤙🏿🙏🏿💯

    Roughly about 10% of the worlds population have a third eye/ear - meaning they can see and/or hear spirits. To those who can hear/see spirits - you are NOT crazy, your brain is NOT acting up, the spirits are REAL ! I've had this for more than 25 years now. At first I went to the usual therapy sessions and medications just like you. But then the problem kept coming back - meaning the treatment addressed only the EFFECTS and not the CAUSE. So I researched this meticulously myself and found the ROOT CAUSE - SPIRITS. Once I knew the REAL reason, I was set FREE ! Since then I've been meds free for the last 16 years now. I'm OK now and live a normal life. The spirits hardly bother me now. The Truth will set you FREE. Our physical and spirit world exists in parallel dimensions - separated by force fields. The spirits can see/hear us, while we can't see/hear them .. NORMALLY. But anything that seriously WEAKENS your body, embitters your soul, and affects your FAITH in God, also WEAKENS your spiritual aura/force field and allows the evil spirits to communicate with you. You can get schizophrenia from various reasons like a serious head injury, use of illegal drugs, practice of black magic, or by experiencing traumatic events like rape, bullying, rejection, death of a loved one or near-death experience. Any Traumatic Psychological Event. You can pick RANDOM evil spirits from morgue, cemeteries, hospitals, asylums, jails, dungeons, and abandoned houses and forests. Places of Torment and Death. Evil spirits are like BULLIES - they choose their victims well ! They can smell fear, bitterness and doubt - key soul weaknesses. Spirits communicate by telepathy - mind to mind, that's why ONLY you can see or hear them. Spirits can also DISTORT speech. For example if your friend is talking to you nicely as usual, you'll instead hear him/her MOCKING you, so you'll get ANGRY. That's how spirits make you paranoid & anti-social. They want to isolate you socially. You're their TOY !! Spirits can also SHAPE SHIFT - appear in ANY form (animal or people) they desire. They can IMITATE other peoples LOOKS and/or VOICES and pretend like real people. Spirits can also produce SOUNDS like knocking on doors, footsteps, crying or screaming people, scratching on walls, police sirens, barking dogs etc. Their plan is to ISOLATE you socially .. for themselves. Make people think you're CRAZY .. even if you re NOT. Resist them, Dont give up .. or you're really gonna end up crazy. Remember this, its NOT you but THEM (spirits) thats causing this. Fight them. If the problem is spiritual, the solution is also spiritual ! Get close to GOD. I also found out listening to Worship Praise Songs (via earphones) helps block the voices, even drives them away ! BTW this is NOT a substitute for NOT taking your meds. Take them if you need them. Good luck, Stay Safe and God Bless.

    This hits hard. I’ve known something has been happening but not sure my own mind was my enemy. Such a dark place to not be in charge. The highs and lows can add to the pressure not knowing when the fun ends and the storm of regrets and disappointment loneliness no self worth thoughts of doom and waiting for some getting bad to happen that confirms your fears. Losing friends money relationships but saddest of all losing yourself when you’re only known for the fun loving thrill seeker and no one understands the black hole that you fall into with no hope. At 40 years old diagnosed with Bipolar and PTSD I’m not relieved I’m ashamed that I cannot fix this part of myself. I want to crawl out of my head into an average person the peace I’d find in regular thinking. Knowing this now is embarrassing I have been known as a strong relentlessly good hearted person but I can’t even be good to myself. Being viewed as stable when there’s a war inside my mind. I lost my oldest sibling to suicide recently Bipolar diagnosed as well with hallucinations auditory and visual I fear for my future.

Schizophrenia is a very serious illness. To think that a simple detox would reverse a complicated neurological disorder is laughable. So his brother should just do a detox with some vitamins and maybe a Lavender bath too to calm his anxiety. Then the schizophrenia would surely dissipate. This is so laughable. Alot of that holistic medicine bullshit is great for a good strong placebo effect for people who are basically healthy and lacking any serious illness. I have Bi Polar II

    I was diagnosed yesterday. This is exactly what I was experiencing for years and was misdiagnosed several times. Everybody think I'm so fun and happy and full of energy but nobody sees the other side. So exhausting. But I don't think I would change it. It did make me who I am, and that is a very compassionate person. But yea, life would be so much easier without bipolar...sometimes I don't get out of house for weeks, feeling exhausted, desperate, I cry every day. Sometimes I cry for months. And then I become tje funnest persom to be around, I start milions of projects, I party, I travel, I live to the edges. And I was born like this. I have been like this since I know myself. Lately my depression phases became longer...

Once that was added have been on same meds and dosage for 15 yrs. I educated myself and found the right Dr. After switching 3x. Made all tge difference. NAMI groups were a huge help in getting support. You are not alone!!!

    Chuck Norris The True Cause of Bipolar Disorder A common theory for an answer for bipolar disorder is a chemical imbalance in the brain. The truth is, however, that it is impossible for the body to naturally disrupt its own chemicals and cause an imbalance when there are no outside factors. There is an actual tangible substance that is disrupting the brain and its mental functioning. The answer is toxic heavy metals. Research and medicine stay away from the discussion on toxic heavy metals. There is little to no conversation about them in medical communities, let alone in relation to how they cause mental disorders. There is so much controversy surrounding heavy metals that scientists do their best to neglect them altogether. As a result, medical communities are completely unaware of just how many illnesses toxic heavy metals play a role in. Toxic heavy metals are present in petroleum, plastics, antibiotics, and countless other drugs so it is no wonder science and research ignore them. The idea that the very things doctors are prescribing for healing and managing diseases contain ingredients which are harmful would be damaging to the pharmaceutical industry. Toxic heavy metals are also in our water supply, falling out of the sky, and found in a multitude of other places. If you could examine the heavy metals in the brains of those who have bipolar disorder, you would begin to see why this disease manifests itself so differently in each individual. Heavy metals of all kinds, including copper, mercury, lead, and aluminum, find their way into the body either at conception, during pregnancy, at birth, or afterwards. People can also get heavy metals later in life from pesticides, which contain heavy metals, the metals in kitchenware, old copper pipes, and many other sources. Heavy metals are passed down generationally, which is one reason why children can have heavy metals in their systems when they are so young. This truth is still unknown to medical communities and science and research. It’s critical to understand how these toxic heavy metals can impact you and your loved ones and be contributing to chronic illnesses. The good news is you can heal this condition with the right information. From the Medical Medium book series.
