    Bipolar I here. I have been on lithium for 46 years. The importance of taking meds cannot be over emphasized. Not a cure, but a great relief. Mania still occurs with stress. Knowing this helps immensely. Hang in there and read everything you can about your illness. God bless.

    My depression was like a foul taste in my mouth that o couldn’t brush/floss/rinse out. The negative thoughts were horrible. It was finally figured out that my thyroid levels dropped to low normal. My GP thank God too the chance to prescribe thyroid meds that helped, that and a good psychologist to talk out past issues.

    Are you able to drive a car even though you take medication? Are you considered incapacitated? Do you have a job even though you take medication?

    • @notliketheothers
      @notliketheothers Месяц назад

      I am able to drive - my medication doesn't prevent that, though there used to be times with a previous medication where I was too drowsy to drive occasionally. I am not considered incapacitated. Disabled, but not incapacitated. And I do have a job. I work full time for a university as a project coordinator. Medication has never been an issue for me when it comes to having a job, though my symptoms made it hard to work several years ago in a previous job.

    Thank you for beeing so open. I have a bf who shows signs of this and also bipolar. It's getting worse and he don't do anything and don't care much about his appearance ore hygiene. His mood can flip like a clock and then it's like he dissociate himself I can't speak with him and also he can say hurtful things and come back and be normal again. His mom is very sick for years and she has symptoms of raging out of nowhere from the little things that most people don't react too. She's also acting like a little girl sometimes she's 54,and don't do much cooking home, grossery shopping etc. Sometimes when she visit she can sit in the sofa with here phone and just say nothing. I also witness she has manic episodes and then she seem posetiv, wants to talk, get up and do things. Also here sound of voice is different I notice that. She also calls here mom every single day witch I find very dissturbing. It's like she needs to have constant control ore she flips out. Can anyone see the same as I do? I don't know if it's BPD, bipolar ore schizophrenia. It's extremely hard to live with and exhaust me mentally. It's even harder when he won't go to the doctor he always deny things when I try to explain to him.

    You hit the nail on the head with this video. I have Schizoaffective Disorder (Bi-Polar type). I saw a therapist for the first time today. My auditory hallucinations come in the form of faint whispers -- whispers that 'narrate' *everything* I'm doing. I used to think my house was haunted... I've had *numerous* delusions against friends & family -- accusing them of everything from planting "spytools" in my router, to thinking cameras were put in my wall. It all became the norm for me.. Just awful delusions in hindsight..

    I am a recovered “schizophrenic” who spent a month in a psychiatric hospital and underwent six ECT sessions about 30 years ago. I healed over three decades ago by treating it as a spiritual battle. I have not been on any medications for it since 1992/1993. The Gnostics and Carl Jung recognized that it is the hero’s journey and a fight for one’s soul. Search for videos with Jerry Marzinsky…he’s a retired psychiatrist with many stories to tell.

    Some of your experiences may have been manigesting into your reality from the 4th or 5th dimension. Im sure SOME of it may have been disorganized thinking and what not. Are you a spiritual person?

      @notliketheothers 5 месяцев назад

      I am. At one point I took as many as three different antipsychotics at once, but currently I'm just on one as well as a mood stabilizer and antidepressant and they've been very helpful for me.

      Thank you! Several months before the onset, my mom had a cardiac event and I took her to the ER and took care of the house alone while she was in the hospital for several days. When she came home, she was on bed rest for quite a while. When she was cleared to go back to work full time and I didn't have to take care of her, my dog, and the house anymore, my mental health declined rapidly. I've always been one of those people who pushes through tough situations then falls into low place when they're over, but that time was so much worse

    For me it started with thinking people were talking shit about me when walking past them. For instance, walking past cafes or constructions workers on a site. I would also see shadow people. But I had been dealing with anxiety and depression for years prior to this, so I have no idea when the prodromal symptoms started. Anyway, hope you're doing okay.
