Hi!!! I'm Steph and I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder 6 years ago. I lost so many years to Bipolar. This channel aims to advocate for medication and help people understand what it's like to live with Bipolar.
I HAVE opinions but they are constantly growing as I take in more. I worry about offending people so if I offend you let's talk about it. I've felt horrible after following a channel, I connected to and then seeing something offensive. If this happens before you go, drop a note it might be a misunderstanding or an area I need to grow in.
I advocate for medication compliance because it saved my life and many of my life . Life was exponentially harder before medication. It can be really isolating living with Bipolar Disorder let's be friends!

Thank you for your story. When you talk about the shame and the guilt, after getting over an episode. The grandeur, thinking you can do so many creative things. I guess I sound very convincing that I could do the things I promised. A few fantastic. Many less than mediocre. The shame of this is hard to let go of. Taken awhile, but I am getting there. The shame we carry because we hurt our family. Especially my daughter who was just trying to help me. I would get mad at her bossiness. When you said “losing your mind, how can we think all these things”.! Sometimes I would think wow! More likely , how could my mind spiral to thinking all these things. Exhausting, but ever, ever grateful for the days, weeks, sometimes months of peace. Yet in the background, always the fear of another episode. The best to you. ❤
women are not supposed to HAVE TO WORK- its not natural, its too much for most of us.
Thank you so much for making making this video,Steph. There are so many things i wanna comment/talk about. But first i wanna ask if you or any one else here have heard the latest episode of Joe Rogan with Sebastian Junger? 11minutes into the episode there are some really fucked up statements coming. "To have a relationship with someone with bipolar is almost impossible, to have a romantic relationship with them is even thousand times harder" This message is send out to 14.5 million listners. What the fck?
I just looked it up and it was painful to watch. Made my stomach sink. I really want to respond to his content with a video. I'll try today, BUUUUTTTT perspective.... It's ironic some guy going around talking about seeing dead people is judging people with bipolar like that. He's permanently delusional without a diagnosis. 😂
Totally agreed. A video would be cool,take youre time(if you do it). When he says that he have two friends with BP After telling Joe that it was almost impossible to be friends with bipolars. Its like him bragging "well for normal people its impossible, but you know,for me, fucking Rambo , everything is possible" What a idiot.... Some guy had a comment and asked if other BP reacted on the video, i sendt him this answer : "I Can not believe that Joe Rogan let him get away with that. " To have a relationship with someone that are bipolar is almost impossible, to have a romantic relationship with someone that are bipolar is even thousand times harder" To leave something like that unsaid on a podcast that reach millions of people is really, really bad. Its so stigmatizing and can be really hurtful listening for anyone struggling with BP. Especially when Joe doesn't question it and accept it as the truth (when its not). If Bipolar would be a ethnicity this would be considered hardcore Racism. There been so many guest's on his show that have bipolar and i'm pretty sure Joe also have friends struggling with this that he is aware of.. And those people have friends ..and relationship's. Also...worth to mention, If Roagan podcast has 14.5 million listeners.. Then likely around 37 000 of them would have bipolar. Roagan was a coward this time.
I didn't think about that. So basically 37,000 people just got a shot to the heart and all their loved ones just got told you might as well give up now. Thank you for telling me I'm definitely making a response video.
@@BipolarPerson I actually forgot a zero. 370 000 is the number 🤓
I have bi polor type 2
U look great though
There needs to be more talk about this
It goes with it
My poor love i get it
It SUCKS
Hello, I enjoy your videos. Congratulations on your channel. I am Brazilian, a lawyer, and I work a lot. I have Bipolar Disorder Type 2 with comorbid ADHD. I believe I have written here before. I would like to ask you a question: what is life like for someone with bipolar disorder in the United States in terms of benefits for people with bipolar disorder? Does the government provide medication for those who cannot afford it? Does the government provide a psychiatrist and psychologist, or does everything have to be paid for by the individual? If you are experiencing a crisis, can you stay at home to receive treatment, or do you have to be hospitalised? How do Americans perceive a person with bipolar disorder? Do they respect and help, or is the stigma very strong? Is there a lot of prejudice? Are you allowed to drive? I apologise for asking so many questions.
Hi!! Please don't apologize!!! I would love to answer this question with a video if I can but I will tell you, yes we can drive as long as the medication doesn't interfere. Stigma is strong and we have to have insurance and if we can't afford insurance we can apply for government help but we have to be approved and the help from the government is not as good. We have to be hospitalized if we are in crisis but that is up to us to go currently the government can't force us to get help unless we are deemed "a danger to ourselves or others." The biggest problem for people with bipolar in the U.S. is because there is so little money allocated to healthcare the psychiatric hospitals always release people before they are ready and for someone in psychosis that can be deadly. Most the healthcare is private insurance but if I go to the psychiatric hospital I will be there with people who have government insurance too and the government is not funding enough hospitals so there is not enough space even if you have private insurance. While the U.S. ranks high in healthcare it is really bad for psychiatric patients getting the help they need. I'm gonna try and make a video on this I really appreciate your question, can you tell me how it is in Brazil for Bipolar people? 😁
@@BipolarPerson Hello, yes, in Brazil being bipolar does not prevent you from driving. However, if you are taking medication that causes dizziness or makes it unsafe for you to drive, you will be prohibited from driving until you are well. In Brazil, there are large hospitals and small health clinics where any Brazilian can receive physical or mental health care. Medical care and treatments in Brazil are free of charge. In case of an emergency, you will be treated, operated on, and all necessary treatments will be provided free of charge. For mental health treatment, there are specialized centers called CAPS (Psychosocial Care Centers) for people with any type of mental disorder. At CAPS, you will have access to social workers, psychiatrists, psychologists, and if necessary, you can be referred to a psychiatric hospital for inpatient care. Brazilian doctors are very good, and Brazilian medicine is quite advanced. However, 40% of Brazilians pay for health insurance to receive quicker and more continuous care. For example, I pay for health insurance, so I have access to psychiatrists and psychologists whenever I need. Recently, a Brazilian law prohibited health insurance plans from limiting the number of sessions with a psychologist. Before this law, I used to file my requests with the court, which was easy for me because I am a lawyer and know the legal procedures. Regarding hospitalization for people with bipolar disorder in Brazil, there is voluntary hospitalization, where you decide to admit yourself. In this case, you can formally request to be discharged to your doctor, and if the doctor sees that you are well, you may be released. However, even with voluntary admission, the final decision is always with the psychiatrist. There is also hospitalization at the request of family members, in cases where you have suicidal thoughts and do not want to be admitted. Your parents, siblings, or spouse can request your admission to your doctor, and you will be hospitalized. Lastly, there is compulsory hospitalization, which occurs when you have suicidal thoughts or pose a risk to yourself or society. The psychiatrist will admit you and then immediately inform the judge of your hospitalization because you need to be hospitalized. In Brazil, hospitalization is considered a last resort. We also have private treatments and hospitalizations, as well as private psychologists, which are very expensive. However, many doctors who accept health insurance also see patients privately. In Brazil, medical consultations and therapy sessions with psychologists are also permitted virtually via video calls. The law also allows doctors to use what we call a virtual prescription, where the doctor issues the prescription for controlled medication, and you go to a pharmacy to purchase the medication, which is only allowed by prescription. Psychiatric medications in Brazil follow very strict regulations; medications with red or black stripes can only be sold with a doctor's prescription. What concerns me the most is the stigma. As I mentioned, I find your KZread channel extremely valuable; it helps me a lot. However, the stigma concerns me greatly. I know I am not alone; I see that other people with a bipolar diagnosis also hide it from others. For me, it is not easy to conceal this from my family, friends, and even my psychologist. I feel that it is becoming increasingly heavy to carry this burden, but I have no choice but to remain in the cave of my diagnosis. This is because doctors, psychologists, and other professionals do not create videos that can help reduce the stigma. We need to unite globally; our planet is not as vast as it was 60 years ago. Nowadays, we have the internet, and we can work on this together. The same human being who lives in America, Europe, Africa, or here in South America faces the same issues. The languages we speak might differ, but the stigma and pain experienced by someone with bipolar disorder in America or Europe are the same. This is a plea: we need to make sure that people do not see us as something terrible. I also want to take this opportunity to tell you that you are an incredible person. Your faith in God is beautiful to see, and your courage and strength are inspiring. You are a true warrior. I believe my words can be part of the content of the video you need because I am sure that in America, people with bipolar disorder also suffer from stigma.
How long can these episodes last ?! My son is in a facility since June but this has been going on since May and he’s still there …
Oh no! I'm sorry. It really depends on the person but if he is in a facility and taking medication sometimes the medication can take a month to work and that's good he's getting help.
I want you to know that I am grateful for your videos. I could only imagine how difficult it is for you and I want you to know that to me you are a brave, courageous and beautiful individual - Putting yourself out there is not easy. Hearing what you went through was difficult for me to hear so I can’t even imagine how difficult it must’ve been to go through that. My son is 27 and was diagnosed with bipolar one year ago. Life has had many ups and downs when he gets into that rapid speech I know what’s coming after that. Negative angry talk conspiracy talk. But my husband and I argue a lot, and I feel very guilty about that. I believe it caused his bipolar to come out. When we argue it triggers him . I love my son very much. This has been very painful, but more importantly there is no cure & my heart bleeds. I am so grateful for your videos. Today was an especially hard day and listening to your videos really helped me. So don’t ever think you’re boring or that you have nothing to say, I look forward to hearing from you always - thank you again for your vulnerability and for your mission “to want help others”. Today you succeeded in helping me. Thank you ❤
🥲 Thank you. Don't blame yourself for bipolar I think we are just designed that way. We are all only human and I'm sure as a parent you are doing the best you can and that's what matters. ❤️
@@BipolarPerson - thank you- and I continue to strive to do better- A lifetime project
Ambian?
lol no Ambian I tried that in College and it was no good for me.
My psychatrist can't find meds for me.
Oh man! Can you get a new psychiatrist sometimes they have different ideas.
TEAM STEPH
Just look at your talents
😁❤️thank you!
This is your best work yet baby girl
You can start a nonprofit or whatever we need to have a place where these people can go and get trey
Treatment
Screw jobs this is about living life and working it out when you feel people and so much
I seen your brain damage as you spoke of from engorging myself in your videos for the past days you have improved and healing is evident I’m worried about if someone can’t and I know it’s out of my control but I’ve seen you and it does take time it’s heartbreaking
Hi. June 30 2024. From western Canada. 🍁 you have such a hard time. I was RN WITH A degree in nursing and got stressed depressed then severe manic episode. I regret the first time I put celesta in my mouth. I did not get ill until I was 43 and my poor son was 13 I was off work on short and then long disability then I was persuaded by psychologist too try going back. Well the health field is the worst regarding mental illness. I had worked over 20 yrs teaching nursing assistants but they put me to teach the manager RN. It was so humiliating all 350 staff knew what happened. Well I had told my husband that if I went back I would be suicidal. Well that’s were I was at I wa hospitalized 3 mts by an evil psychiatrist who decided I was and addicted to gravol. They sent me to a drug rehab center 3 hrs awayfr my family for 2 mts. I missed my son’s graduation so. When maniac I dressed like a slut. Charged over 20 thousand. In crap Like 30 pairs of same style 👠 Bought 40 purses. Bought tons of Jewelry Got into new age stuff. Spent lots of money on that trying to get well. My psychiatrist wrote a letter explaining my diagnosis etc. and my poor husband went store to store and 80% of them allowed a refund. The 1 st person said about disability. I know it is hard. But maybe that may be a route to look at This going to job to mania is so so hard on you my dear it is exhausting Can your husband help you get the disability Also watch out for triggers for example all the caring people say I don’t believe in mental illness Sarcasm 😅 also remember it is in your 🧠 brain it is not you. It is your brain. Look at neurology videos on bipolar. Maybe stop looking for a job and start looking after yourself if able and your dog You need a break. Will write something latter. Have to take my meds the only one who visited me in hospital was the insurance girl who felt so sorry for me no coworkers some people find bipolar support group helpful Go o rate Md com to find the best psychiatrist in your area Who specializes in bipolar. I hated my evil 👿 psychiatrist and took awhile to find someone else. Does that cost in usa. 🇺🇸 here western Canada 🇨🇦. A psychologist goes from 180 to 260 hr and psychiatrists are covered by provincial health your meds are they covered the hardest but best way for me was to get admitted and then they see you every day psychiatrist I mean And the meds are paid by province if you are in hospital I know I need meds readjusted now at 67 but I am trying to care for 70 yr husband with Parkinson’s and dementia because I don’t want him to go to a nursing home. I also have chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia and I believe it was from antipsychotics serequel and zeprexa which is still used in Canada 🍁 talk later my husband banged the wall got to go. Take care sweet girl.
You made me laugh when you said evil psychiatrist lol! I had a horrible fashion sense when I was manic my husband always asked me why. I have nooo idea. In the U.S. healthcare is awful my husband has insurance through his work but it is all private companies and you have to pay insurance and then insurance pays but sometimes they don't pay for everything. And government insurance for people that can't afford it is really bad people don't get the services they need. I'm lucky my insurance pays. I'm tried for disability and they denied me. It's okay my husband is okay with me not working for my mental health. I could apply again but it a vulnerable situation..
Thanks!
Thank you so much! 😁❤️
The sincerity here is just amazing. Heart wrenching at times.
I like that you talked about this. It is way too easy to fuck up your life by posting something on a public page
Hi. If you don’t mind me asking, before your diagnoses 7 years ago were you ever on any medication of any type, for anxiety or ss ris ?
Hi! Yes, when I was really young I was misdiagnosed with schizophrenia and put on meds for that until I had an allergic reaction years later I went to a doctor for depression and I was put on Lexapro (SSRI) which sent me into mania. SSRI's really bad without an antipsychotic for BP1.
@@BipolarPerson I don’t have bipolar but do get depression bad and o.c.d too, considering Ssris but in the past felt weird with side effects
There are so many SSRI's there is one that won't have side effects for you don't give up you don't have to suffer. Depression can be dangerous. Medicine can really help.
How do you know if you have brain damage? Reason I'm asking is that I have been wanting to get a brain scan of myself but they claim it doesn't "show anything" 😞
I just believe I do because I spent a long time in mania and after the last episode my memory is really bad. I forget to ask my psychiatrist about it. Doctors don't use brain scans to diagnose but there is evidence that shows a decrease in grey matter in the brains of bipolar individuals. So the longer one is in mania or depression the more grey matter goes away and the more damage is done.
I researched brain scans it’s very limited locations yes if your famous etc but you are leading a movement of improved system
You don't have to absorb everything you see 🫶🏼
The young souls may not care but you may be older, wiser❤
Really sad you quit lithium after just 1 week. It takes weeks/months for your body to adjust.
i have Bipolar Disorder and i lost many jobs because of it. im 36 now without any job still i don't have kids. it just i didn't expect the time will go very fast. my degree after 13 year from gradution is nothing plus it is german study. no one want to hire me because im old now
I felt my life was passing me by at some times too because bipolar takes so much time from you. I was in the same place at 36. It will get better. ❤️
Steph, This video speaks volumes. I won’t lie I cried the whole video because of how this parallels my own personal experiences so much. I am still trying to figure out my early hypomania episodes that resulted in some off experiences but when I was put on three different anti-depressants all at once and my doctor didn’t read the bipolar signs not only did I lose my townhouse, went bankrupt from over spending by almost $90k, and then there was my job history. I was someone who would stick with a job for years and that was me. I gave 2-4 weeks notice when leaving and here I ended up with 7 different jobs in less than a year and most of which I either just walked out on or gave less than a weeks notice. It was so uncharacteristic of me. I feel so much shame about my job history. Especially with regards to the company I did my best at. I got 5 promotions in 3.5 years doubled my salary and left and moved out of state. Got another great high paying job as a property manager for a luxury apartment building and struggled the whole time with mania. After I left that job in Jan of ‘23 I went downhill. Lasted three weeks at my job that paid $100k+bonuses. Went to another property, last 3 months. Went to a hotel and became a caregiver. I never slept for more that 2-3 hours a day for over 6 months. I just worked worked work and screamed at everyone. It was awful. Left those jobs for one job, last 6 weeks there. Went to a hotel and transferred to a new one 3 months later and here I am. Now I am a full time night auditor at a hotel where I have less interaction with people but I know that if I go manic again and a guest starts getting aggressive with me, I’ll probably walk out or yell back. I know this (in my right mind) is not the way to handle things but as mentioned, your brain just takes over and you literally go psychotic. I have been having mixed episodes up until about a month ago. My depakote was recently upped and that has help tremendously. I hope to stay on track where I am for awhile but I'm barely making ends meet and am definitely make 1/3 of what I made before. Thanks again Steph for making these videos, they really help me feel less alone, especially when reading through the comments.
Unfair, that's what Bipolar is completely unfair. We are at the mercy of doctors in a broken system. I hope one day in the future doctors become more careful about subscribing SSRI's they've hurt so many of us with BP1. I hope the new job works out and the depakote keeps working, thank you so much for your support and sharing your story it means a lot to me and anyone reading. ❤️
Thank you for sharing this.
prayers life with this its not easy i am struggling too
Thankyou for your raw honesty.
Thank you, Steph, for sharing your experiences with jobs and bipolar disorder. I wish there was more public awareness of mental health problems so that your work supervisors would have been more understanding. For me it has been my anger that has caused problems for me in the workplace. I don't know if my anger is caused by bipolar, but it seems likely to me.
Probably, anger is definitely a symptom.
Hi Steph, thanks for the new video and sharing your story. It seems that SSRIs are a huge point in starting the "spiral" in people w/bipolar. Would you be willing to make a video about that? Also: I'm curious to know your thoughts on diet, nutrition, and metabolism when it comes to mental illness. Some people have had great results by simply changing how they eat. Others claim it didn't help at all. I dont have bipolar, but my mental health definitely improved Once i cleaned up my diet. Would you be willing to speak on that?
Yes and yes!!! Thank you! 😊
First off, yes, you definitely make us (well, at least me) feel like we're not alone. Thank you for all you do. Keep going! You were the first person I stumbled across and your videos have Really helped me. So thank you! I'm 34 and just got diagnosed this March. Last year I had a BIG mania w/ psychosis episode that lasted 8 months. It was horrible. I got a VERY noticeable face tattoo, arrested 3 times, and a lot more. Second, yeah. it definitely took a toll on my job. I worked for the county I live in for 2 years but it got really bad once my bipolar 1 kicked in for the first time. I live in a tiny community and lets just say a very good percentage of the population here has totally different opinions of me now. So much that I can't get a job anywhere. At least where I live. It's honestly kinda hard to even go out in public now. I'm still at the beginning of my recovery so I have hope that things will get better. You really do help more than you know. Thank you. Have a great one, and YEAH! UPLOAD MORE VIDEOS!!!!! xD Keep going, dude. You rock.
Thank you for sharing this and your support! Man I never even thought of tattoos being a mania left over! It will get better I was humiliated going back to work but if I take a step back anyone judging me they were the one with the problem. It's really is unfair an illness makes people think that's who we are but forget about them I think if you keep trying you'll find someone to give you a break. It does get better with time. ❤️
What advice would you give to someone who has a loved one who was diagnosed with Bipolar but is in complete denial and won’t take their medication? Sometimes no-contact feels like the safest route but also feels cruel.
Hi!! This is the million dollar question no one knows how to answer. I made a video about 6 months ago, I hope it helps, let me know if not I'll make another one. It's a really really hard to know what to do because everyone might react different, and it really takes a toll on loved ones. You have to take care of yourself but also make sure the person is safe. I hope this helps. kzread.info/dash/bejne/iYmmr7RtpZfUg6Q.htmlsi=ntrBeEFdk-d9xBDH Actually I think I'll make another video more centered around how to support someone in denial that one is more focused on psychosis. Thank you so much!
I recently went manic and bought a brand new car and now I’m left wondering what in the world was I doing or thinking 🫤
Fun times, I've done that too! I hope it's not a financial burden. That's one that's hard to get out of. Thank you for your support! ❤️
@@BipolarPerson it is actually and I keep beating myself up over it. It’s like a different person takes over while manic. It’s scary to say the least 😞
Yeah it sucks but don't forget that's a symptom not something you could control so you can't get mad at yourself for that. Just keep going and maybe put a credit hold on your social it's mainly for identity theft protection but it might also help make it harder to get credit on the fly.
@@BipolarPerson that’s a good idea. My doctor and I are still trying to find the right medication so it’s touch and go for now. I also have had job issues because of bipolar but I wasn’t aware at the time that I had bipolar. I’ve just come to terms with it. I spent the last two years denying it. Thank you so much for what you do. It helps so much ❤️
Thank you for sharing your experiences Steph! I agree that structure and exercise is key to managing BP. You look gr8 ... and pls keep playing your music. Best, Sue
Thank you for your encouragement and kind words! ❤️
I had to quit work this year due to a major depressive episode in 2022 that landed me in hospital for ten weeks. I had switched medication because the old one i was on for 10 years wasn't working as well as it used to anymore. Unfortunately for me the new drug was completely ineffective on me, so it was like i was not taking anything at all. After developing an extreme suicidal mood I just could not go on. It sucks that after 34 years I can't go to work anymore.
I'm glad you survived! I'm sorry you had to quit. I wish more people knew about the true struggle with medication.
probably best to just get disability and for money try to be self employed on the side. i gave up working years ago
you are a very strong person!
I want to talk in person
Thanks, Steph, for your vulnerability and authenticity in normalizing the mental health journey.
I’m worried for you going through that also you mentioned feeling better and music please post another video soon❤
Thank you! I did just because you said that! ❤️
if she is taking somethig, isnt it her own business? Do we all have to tell everyone what we use or dont use if they ask? We still have a choice as to what we tell, whar we tell, and maybe she isnt good with boundaries at all, so she says she isn't using (when she wants to say its none of your business) perhaps her drugs were her way of self medicating. It happens a lot especially when you said the mental health help she got wasnt suitable at all until she was diagnosed with schitzophenia. If she has schitzophrenia and it was untreated then maybe it wasnt her, but the other voices (spirits) or meth or whatever else (weed).induced person that was lying to you. I guess she doesn't know either so to say she could be of sane mind when not lying is hard to determine sometimes. Anyway if you can get her animals back, because shes getting maybe the right help now, and she cant know what to do, you cant say people who are not being diagnosed or lie cant have animals? Many people think they can trust who has their pets also, and those people say they will look after them and dont..is that a lie too, i dont know. Sometimes pets are the only thing lonely people have that keeps them from.suicide as they have to care for someone and someone loves them back unconditionally (well maybe not all cats) but they have their good monents and bad personality days especially when things are uncertain and they miss their main human. Its distressing for them.. I know the pressure you are under. Ive had to do this, too. I am definitely not proud of it. I was thiniing of myself and the person more so than the animals I feel. It can be overwhelming and you know now I am vegan, and now I hate what I did, about 20 years ago. I think much more about animals as my life got somewhat better and they didnt feel like a burden anymore. I started to feel so much more compassion for what animals go through when I learned more from othee vegans and watching some documentaries. Animals and people have it reaslly hard. Maybe her cat is untrusting and has sensory issues or trauma. We dont know, but its been amazing that you have been therr to care for her fur babies all this time. I hope it bought you some joy at times too! I do hope Tiffany gets the help she needs. She is lucky to have a neighbour like you. The others dont seem to understanding at all. Maybe now she has been through this ordeal you and her can be trusting feiends after all. Perhaps she will be there for you too? Thanks for the video. Really you are a good storyteller with so much detail. Maybe you could write a sad song about Tiffany and your time helping her? Id love to hear it if you did, on your platform.
Man I wish it was that simple. First thank you for loving animals so much, I am vegan too. I grew up in a Zoo literally my Dad managed one so I went vegetarian for 10 years then I saw Forks Over Knives went Vegan and never looked back. Tiffany and I had a deal if she used she had to give me Chance back so it was my business and especially because I spent two years helping her and 9 months building her up in rehab. She is a life long drug addict to the point where she keeps synthetic pee and overdose medicine. She not only lied about using she set the framework to lie before she got out. One thing I learned is how manipulative drug users are and how much they lie. it is part of the disease. The abuse her animals endured in her care was beyond. She would get arrested and not tell the police she had animals. The first time I helped her, her animals were in her apartment for three days alone without food or water. She kept Chance locked in her apartment for months and never walked him. She would scream all day everyday to the voices. Her apartment smelled like feces and urine so bad that the neighbors were complaining, she was so psychotic 7 neighbors got a restraining order against her and it got so bad the association had to sue her and she ended up having to pay 50k in lawyer fees. She's currently not on her meds and psychotic. She needs rehab and a dual diagnosis program but she won't go. I did screw up and tell her where her cat was which she got back. I really regret telling her. Lucy her cat is one hell of an excuse for her not to go to rehab and I know Lucy is probably suffering. I really wish I wouldn't have told her. Chance was diabetic and very old and incontinence we tried really hard to get control of it but we couldn't and she had him euthanized 2 days ago. Now she is blaming me for his death but she is the one who euthanized him. She says I was giving him his diabetes medicine wrong which is not true. It's really sad I couldn't help her but I know I did everything I could for Chance. I have hope she'll get help but I know she probably won't a dual diagnosis is a nightmare. I understand developing a deeper relationship with animals I will never forgive myself for leaving my bird when I went to College. His name was Notchuck my Dad gave him away. Thank you for your support and comment it means a lot to me. And thank you again for being an ethical vegan. ❤️😁💕💕💕 Oh and I did write a song about her it was a really difficult time. kzread.info/dash/bejne/l5mHs5h_qbbSf9o.htmlsi=hocflEnA1hkcGe1Q
For the men, try ejaculation to bust up the prodromal stage leading to a mania ... and try semen retention to pull oneself out of a slope to depression. It has worked multiple times for me.
My daughter was going through the same thing you did but thankfully I researched the hell out of all her symptoms and learned how to cope and help her with out pushing her away. We did go through hell and back though a lot of sleepless nights not knowing where she was but thank God today she is on meds and has a therapist and doing better. Thank you for sharing your story it helps to know we weren't alone because this disease makes everyone feel like it's only happening to their family.
Hi, thank you for this video. I have had several episodes of mania and psychosis. Thankfully always only lasting around 2 weeks. I have also struggled with addiction and anxiety and depression my whole adult life. Hearing your story reminds me to not blame and punish myself. It is a very hard road to travel. I admire your bravery in sharing. Thank you.
