Really am so glad you enjoyed. Thank you so much letting me know. Positive week to you as well😊

I so appreciate that ! thank you !

So very glad something that works so well for you!👏🏻

My dear English teacher Mom would really appreciate your 'well spoken' comment! Then she would know she raised me well.😊. I appreciate your very kind and encouraging words. I believe showing vulnerability helps us all to grow. Thank you for taking the time to write. You have encouraged me! Bless you on your journey and may you bless all you meet a long your way ❤

No just what I have read on google articles about late state bipolar and cognitive decline. Sorry. I am sure you have read everything you can get your hands on. Bless you on your journey

Excellent. Thank you for that wisdom

That is extremely hard times. I think we have all been there but that doesn't help - ride it through, try to find one tiny thing to do that you like, reach out to someone you trust when you can and know that it will not last. I am very sorry.

Oh you are very dear. Thank you and yes I do 'probably already understand' because I do. The type of day that you are having is tough and you do feel alone and hard to imagine life getting back on track but you will. I know you will. I believe it even when you can't. Bless you. Glad my video helped lift your spirits ! 💗

@@alicesharp4176 thank you for your note! It is so good to know what you have, isn't it? That means you can study and find out what works best for you. Top tip...relax, you have got this. Your management of this disorder will come in time, stay committed to your regime, Dr, blood work, exercise. Share your struggles, be prepared to fail....just get back up. You are the important one. Every day is a gift...Remember that. Bless you on your journey.❤

I am so very sorry I did not see your note. I am understand very well the pain you have experienced. Nothing is as hard as navigating mental health but please know you are not alone - many of us suffer the same issues. Help is out there when you have the strength to ask for you and I pray that it will be soon for you. God bless you dearly

@@estherherbert-bipolarstrong an update beautiful lady.... I reached out after watching many videos and I have my first appt today and this time around I have a health coach who will walk with me as I go thru this to get a correct diagnosis... I wish you all the best... I wish myself all the best too

@@alaine5083 way to go!! I am so happy for you. You are making great strides. Well done. So glad you found some help through my videos. You can do it...one step by one step. Bless your journey.❤

Very had to copy and I think we try anything to feel and release the anger and get on with our lives. We can't do anything but try and for that I am glad you do. Coping mechanisms could work for you that are less hard on yourself as you say. Brisk walk, music you love, talking to a friend you trust, going for a drive, swimming, nature, pets can all divert the pain. I hope you find your way.

Very sorry for your experiences with the symptoms and aftermath of Bipolar. It is such a hard disease - so tough on all of us and those around us. Yes as you said we are all different and have a different cross to bear. I am very glad you found my story helpful and for sure that is the reason I tell them. Glad we can encourage each other. Bless you on your journey.

@@kieferjustine9392 You are very well. I am glad to share my story and always hope someone funds it helpful. I really appreciate your kind and encouraging words. They have helped inspire me to keep sharing. Thank you and know you can manage this. You are in charge capable and strong. God bless you!

@@estherherbert-bipolarstrong thank you!

Oh you are so welcome. Glad you tuned in and thank you for writing ! ❤

I was properly diagnosed in the year 2000 with Bipolar Disorder. My Doctor thinks I had it since 15 so I experienced 22 years of not knowing. It was a relief to get the help I desperately needed. Thanks for.writing.

Yes it is awful! Sometimes so much harder to control the "tell off" mode. Success comes but those you left in your wake will never be the same. All the best as you manage this tough disorder.

I take it out on myself. I talked nice to everyone else.

@@lindamastropietro4429 very sad and real thing to do - you are worth a lot more than that.

Talking can sure make it worse at times. Being alone when the terrible tongue doesn't need to be heard is good. thank you so much for your note !

Frist of all thank you so much for writing. Everyone is so different but what is and has been working for me is lithium. I have been on it for 24 years and it has allowed me to manage my Bipolar. I hope you find something good for you. God Bless

@@estherherbert-bipolarstrong Thank you also

You will have those that you have build up trust and they will actually hear you but you are right many frustrations trying to get the world to listen. Best to walk the walk do your best and be sincere like you said. Bless you !

Thank you. I am glad to know you are listening. This is a very tough disorder. There are no easy answers. We are all unique and your struggle will be different from any one else's. I do hope you find exactly works for you. Bless on your journey.

It is my pleasure. So glad you tune in.

That is a very difficult feeling to deal with - I am very sorry.

@@estherherbert-bipolarstrong thankyou Esther

it took my 22 years to get a proper diagnosis and when I had a complete break with reality and had to be handcuffed and led out of my place of employment did I get the help I needed. I really hope you get the help you need. You are open to it and you want it those two things are very important. Mania is so very hard to manage and no there is nothing euphoric about it. Getting a Psychiatrist and a good one is important for your ongoing help and managing the disorder. I wish you much success as you navigate your journey. Bless you.

@@estherherbert-bipolarstrong thank you so much. You’re very kind. It’s helpful to hear that mania isn’t euphoric. What I experience isn’t what I expected, and I think that’s made it hard for me to figure out. I finally got into a psychiatrist in the midst of a suicidal mania, and she was just awful. She completely blew me off, told me meds were never going to help, and ordered me to more CBT. I’ve been doing therapy for 20 years. Something has changed in my symptoms, but she wouldn’t let me get a word out. I went home and decided she and the province wanted me to kill my self (I was watching all these news stories about MAID). That made me mad enough to not do it. I’ve been trying to keep track of my symptoms, and I wrote about how I was feeling during my last episode to take to my family doctor because I don’t remember how bad it was now. I’m trying to have faith that she can help me get the right treatment.

@@JHabc Getting a good psychiatrist who cares and is informed and wants the best for you is very difficult. I hope and pray that you either get some solid answers soon or a someone you can rely on in the future. You are trying and I believe your efforts will be rewarded. I wish I could just make that happen for you. Please keep at it. You and your mental health are so important ! Take good care and thanks again for tuning in.

Hi there ! Oh my yes do I understand - I open my mouth and leave people slayed behind me and yes then comes the guilt. It is so hard when we lose that all important self control and then have to deal with the remorse of 'losing it' Can't entirely blame the disorder but it certainly is a big part of it. Managing is the hardest part for me and I am sure so many of us?

It is for sure one of the worst feelings ever. So suffocating. I am very glad you finally got your diagnosis ! That means you can manage and know what you have to deal with ! Good for you. Thanks for writing.

Thanks for responding 😊

Yes for sure reaching out is very hard when your depression cuts deep. I do know about being lonely and having those awful thoughts. I did find reaching out to someone who cares to help so much. Bless you on your journey and thank you for writing. ❤

So glad you subscribed! Welcome and I hope you get some things from my channel that will benefit you 😊

Yes, that is a very good description of Bipolar aggitation. I do like the self care and me time too. I like it a lot but when I go out and conquer a 'wolf' there is nothing like that! I am so glad you wrote to me...thank you. I'll hope your journey is blessed ❤

Days like that are very painful. I am so sorry you are experiencing that today. I do relate and I hope your tears will lead to healing and a better day tomorrow.

@@estherherbert-bipolarstrong thank you ♥️

A good therapist can make all the difference. Good for you that you see them. Rejection from your family must have hurt you. Praying for healing every step you take.

@@estherherbert-bipolarstrong thankyou ♥️

Hello, I do get that Bipolar can be very tough to deal with. It is an insidious disorder and can chew us up sometimes. I am so sorry you are going through this right now. Your journey will get better. Bless you.

Calendar's can be scary to look at all at once. Maybe a week at at time would be better. Those small day planners could be useful. Staying on track can take many forms - it is up to to find one you like, are comfortable with and works ! God bless you on your journey ! 💖

It is tough! And doesn't work for everyone but it sure helps some of us. Sounds like you have a supportive helpful husband. So glad for you!

@estherherbert-bipolarstrong I get it. It barely works for me but it keeps me out of trouble. I hope it doesn't sound like I'm bragging. Just trying to help.

Thank you so much ! It was such a pleasure to be a part of a panel discussing mental health. Very thrilling in fact. I appreciate your encouragement. Advocating to lessen the sting of stigma is for sure my passion and I will continue as long as I can speak ! :)

You have certainly over come many things! I am very glad that you have a lifelong lesson about medications as you said. It is your road and your learning that will help others. I am proud of you doing so well after your episodes. We all have our bag of rocks to carry around. Thank you for sharing some of yours. Bless you in your journey and thank you for the very kind encouragement !

So very good to hear that ! thank you for letting me know. Bless you !

I am very sorry to hear of your TBI. That must be so difficult for you. I wish I knew the answer for you but I do believe a professional would be best for you to find out the best meds. Thank you for writing. Bless you.

I am so very impressed that you are 72 and still fighting and managing and working through all of what Bipolar brings. Like you said 'all that and more' Good for you. Bless you on your journey.

@@estherherbert-bipolarstrong My recent divorce didn't help me much, depressed to tears. I'm not lazy. I have better days coming though i don't know when. Thanks for being you. We are who we are on our journeys. God bless you also, he loves us for who we are.

I am so very glad to hear that this was helpful. Appreciate you letting me know :)

Appreciate you!! Life is a wonderful thing!! God loves you too👏🏻

Extremely small world ! Yes he is an amazing Dr and has a way of cutting through the darkness and touching a life ! Very excited to hear that he did the same for you ! Yes I am with you as in forever grateful ! I am so very happy to saw this video - bless you on your journey !

having adjustments to your meds is a very good idea - till you don't need the extra and things even out. Good for you !

So very glad you found something that works.

Cannabis makes it worse in the long run 😢

@@karlgustafsson6000 makes it difficult to find just the right thing to work. I hope you keep trying.

@@karlgustafsson6000 How so? Please explain. My wife has used it for some time now and the results are better than any rx med that we have tried In our 15 years of dealing with these issues. She has actually been able to stop some of the rx meds all together. Curious as to what the down side is as I myself at 51 have been a life long cannabis user with 3 and 4 year breaks.

@@glennerd3125 I’ve smoked for 30 years and never had this issue. Never met anyone who has but I hope you get better and the CHS goes away. I stand by my original statement

Yes it is in chaos. It certainly can exacerbate our symptoms. What I do know is we affect our environment more than any one, any circumstances, or any thing. We change it one step, one thought one positive moment at a time. Bless you on your journey. Thank you.
