Congrats. That is a big deal and not easy to do. To admit something and take action to fix it. Well, that takes balls in my opinion. I'm proud of you. Rooting for you over here in my little corner of the world. One of my favorite quotes by my personal bipolar hero was Carrie Fisher.

Glad to know there are others who find out so late. I am 43 and just found out and so lucky I found Robs videos.

I have bipolar disorder and I'm from Indonesia. When I was hypomanic I quit my job and wanted to do a master's abroad. After a year of struggle, I managed to get accepted at The University of Manchester and got a fully-funded scholarship. I'm beyond happy that I will study abroad for free next year. But at the same time, I'm a little bit anxious because it will be my first time living thousands miles away from home. Sometimes I questioned my decision to do a master's. Do I really want it? Because I was hypomanic when I made the decision. But after a year, I still find my course fascinating and I've already read some books and papers that are recommended. Moreover, I need to continue taking medications in the UK and I've been researching about mental health treatment there. Wish me luck!

I needed to here this. Today has been really hard.

4:08, How interesting Rob that you talk of emotional hallucinations. It took me years to figure that one out, these thoughts and feelings together I call "inner hallucinations". They are the most difficult to identify because they are so invisible, you cannot easily check them objectively.

"Giant purposeful effort to replace them with their positive polar opposite...repetition" another Great Tool for today, thanks! 🙏

You do a great job at explaining Bipolar disorder and helping people feel like they are not alone. I have watched your videos a lot and have learned a lot through them. Thank you for your dedication to helping people.

My life has been rough so I am pessimistic by nature. Drug abusing parents, 2 car accidents by said parents, abuse, and not getting help with my bipolar until I was 26. All I know is bad news so I was programmed to be pessimistic. When I'm manic I am happier but quick to anger. Depressed I am sad all the time and pessimistic about everything. Hard to be optimistic when society pushes us to be pessimistic all the time. Social media doesn't help either tbh.

Improving my outlook and perspective into the positive range has taken years of effort. I consider it a lifelong journey, and it helps people around me when I make the effort and share it. I get a lot of thank-yous now, and it means the world to me. I more often now am able to be in a shitty f'ing mood and still say, but this will pass, it always does. I could not do that 5 years ago.

Thank you for your content to make us not feel so different and alone . See what I truly love and “am” always changes. That’s why it’s so hard to gauge. I’ve changed jobs/careers so many times. Moved all over the country… After Covid I took time to try and start a blog on mental health and breaking the stigma and how being in nature helps. I thought that I would never lose interest in. I love helping orhers. But even that I have no desire to do anymore. I’m just tired. And my family says “I always figure it out, that’s why I amaze them” But I just want to think like others sometimes and have consistency.

I think there's more to it also Rob, I think I have the trickle of negative thoughts/feelings to counteract the danger of hypomania/mania, and also to guard against the deep drop after a high. I don't enjoy them at all, it's all a bit of a mess really. In fact, I don't really know why, I have these theories though.

Just found your video after feeling like I'm the most horrible person because several people in the last year have told me I'm negative and I'm hard to be around. I became so isolated as a senior during covid for 2 years, and I retired at the exact same time, so I lost my identity as a member of the workforce, and I became 100% isolated as I live alone. I've struggled to come out of that dark place. Thank you for the honesty of your video. I suffer from depression as well, but this gives me a frame to work out of to try to repetitively change some thoughts that I've been struggling with

I have an odd combination of Positive Thinking which descends rapidly into catastrophizing. Maybe it's just my cycling, but it can be devastating to experience thoughts like, "Everything is great and is on target to work out fine." to, "I'm just part of a plot which is trying to find out how far they can push a person before they break." As you say, it can be hard to pull back from those dark thoughts.

I understand that I'm negative a good portion of the time. I also understand that slightly depressed people are more realistic about outcomes. I try to see my negativity as a chance to create a more positive outcome. I have to be careful of toxic positivity, because it tends to be a little manic and delusional. Just seeing and understanding that there is a positive doesn't mean it's heading towards the positive. I choose to influence positivity with my negativity.

I try to look at things from a million different angles to find the truth but sometimes the negativity is too strong and the worst case scenario seems the only feesable answer. Your awesome Rob. You put to words the way we all feel.
