I dont want to see you hurting, take it slow. Many times its just ok to be you. Of course i dont know at all what you’re going through mental illness wise, and I have no idea how serious it is, but don’t let meds do more damage than help. Ill pray for you right now to turn out well, and that the right meds work for you the right way. Love, Rev. Jeff Dishong

    It took me over a decade to finally accept my MDD diagnosis, went through denial, anger and self medicating with alcohol. I finally started taking antidepressants and therapy. I just scared now as I lost all my 20s and early 30s to this. Lost relationships and careers, so now am starting again at 36.

    My bf is in contact with me (minimally) but he's in isolation. He's been stuck in a depression (switch click on) since last July. We love each other so much. It hurts my heart that I can't fix bi-polar. He's BP2. What are some things I could do during isolation? I don't pressure him and he knows I love him and I'm here. ❤

      @@CrueFan72 It's totally understandable to be so anxious about this. It's difficult to know what to do, but most of the time isolation makes depression worse. I don't know if you've tried this in the past, but perhaps encouraging him to go somewhere with you out of the house could help him out of his rut. And as for yourself, feeling helpless with the whole situation can be extremely overwhelming. I would not want you to distance yourself from those emotions of course, but perhaps distracting yourself with creative hobbies and different relaxation techniques, like meditation, when you're feeling stressed. Also, radical acceptance may help your mindset when it comes to feeling anxious.

    Good content. I feel that insight has to come before understanding. But, bipolar, from my experience and knowledge, typically has poor insight or good insight. Most have limited insight, which is why we stop our meds ... because nothing is wrong. Then, there's also a continuum of symptoms, and people fall in it wherever they land. My most recent manic episode was in early 2018. I was manic for 4 months straight. The meds did finally bring me back to reality, but you can't really have insight when that manic. I had no idea I was hallucinating all day, all night. It took 3 years to completely stabilize. And, i still do not have insight into what exactly was going on, but I now know i was hallucinating, but sometimes I really can't tell. I only know because others told me and the docs told me, not because I had insight or understanding.

    • @BipolarGossamer
      @BipolarGossamer 3 месяца назад

      That's a very good point! I was more speaking upon not being currently in the crisis manic stage. By that point, it's very very difficult to have insight, I also know that from personal experience. However, there are many preventative measures that can be taken before that point hits and I was more referring to when you have the capacity to have insight so you can prevent episodes.

  • @jonesilvasilva
    @jonesilvasilva 3 месяца назад

    Hey there, congratulations on your video and channel. It's truly impactful for many. I resonate with your journey as I too navigate bipolar disorder and ADHD comorbidities. It's been quite the uphill battle, but I've found stability over the past year by diligently following my psychiatrist and psychologist's guidance. It's transformed my life, proving that a fulfilling, "normal" life is achievable with the right support and commitment to self-care. I want to emphasize the importance of maintaining regular sessions with both your psychologist and doctor. Never underestimate the power of this dual support system. Remember, you're never alone in this. Your resilience is inspiring, and though I'm thousands of miles away in South America, I genuinely wish you continued progress and wellness. I personally find great solace in my weekly sessions with my psychologist and monthly visits to my doctor. It's a routine that grounds me and fosters growth. With the right medication and therapy, I've been able to be incredibly productive. As an attorney, I work extensively, and yes, with treatment, it's entirely possible to live a better life. Keep pushing forward, and know that every step counts. Your channel has truly resonated with me, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to connect, despite the distance. Wishing you all the best on your journey.

    I took medication once. Wellbutrin...they thought my bipolar was depression...and I hated it. I did feel better in many ways, but also felt like I was on speed, my insomina grew to titanic proptions and I didn't feel like me. Like my mind was changed.I take NO (mental) medications and will never again. I eschew processed foods for the most part only eat fresh fruits and vegetables, I love lean protein, and I exercise, and I reflect constantly, and always think before anything...yes, still have problems, I still HULK out, and yes I still feel, barring reason, disspossed and crazy...though I realize I have an uncurable affliction, I've had since birth, and now I take steps back, use my mind. GET OFF THE DRUGS! They make you not you! Am I right? Who knows, not doing well but please don't lie to yourself and take drufs...medicartion is "drugs" and you are being hand fed them. I wish you the greatest life ever, and you to live a long happy, fruitful life!
