    My daughters hypomania starts with irritability. If I can get her to nap sometimes that stops the cycle. She has not been able to keep a job because the stress brings on psychosis. Please take care of yourself.

      Napping works well for me. Even if I don’t fall asleep, it makes me less irritable. It also means that I don’t interact with other people, who say stupid things and don’t recognise how much cleverer I am. Having had a couple of incidents of psychosis due to anti-depressants, which is how I was diagnosed as bipolar, it is something to be avoided.

      When I'm very high on energy and/or overwhelmed with irritability I go to bed. I don't always get to nap, but to be horizontal helps calming 🙌🏻

      I believe that I'm in a mild mixed episode right now, and I'm SO ANGRY!!!! At who? idk. The WORLD! I normally just walk 30 minutes a day due to my disabilities, but yesterday I walked FAST for 75 minutes to get some of the RAGE inside me out. I wrote a poem about how I had a volcano of anger inside me and how I wanted to destroy the world. They call it "irritability", but it's more like rage for me. At who ever happens to come my way.
      Good thing it's only a subclinical episode since I am on strong meds that I also have increased now, so in a few days it'll probably go away. I had 2 hours this morning where I was lethargic and deeply depressed, so maybe I'm about to switch already to depression.
      God, I hate being bipolar! If it was ONLY bipolar it might be manageable, but I have ADD, autistic traits, social phobia, eating disorder, GAD etc. Working isn't on the map for me either, I'm just trying to get a good enough life quality to feel like life is worth living. I've worked on that for 20 years, still not there...
      Good thing with bipolar is that the darkness isn't constant. Even in my full-blown episodes I have swings up and down. I honestly don't believe that I've been in the same mood an entire week since I was like... 12? Not strange I can't accomplish things, lol...

    One of the many frustrating things about having a mood disorder is having to do detective work on yourself and your patterns in life. I remember all of these instances of having conversations with people, especially older relatives and them asking me to slow down my speech, which as you probably know, takes concentrated effort. Getting used to the ebb and flow of the speed of thoughts, going from racing impatience to the molasses fog of depression can be such a jarring contrast- both as the person experiencing it and to those around us. I’m glad your videos are helping folks to relate to and surf the tides of these mood states.

    • @SchizoKitzo
      @SchizoKitzo  9 месяцев назад +17

      This is all so well said and I think you’re right on it. The slowing down of speech is so relatable and I’ve probably been that way all my life, as I had manic symptoms from a very young age, they were just quite mild compared to what I deal with now. The detective comment is so real, thank you for sharing this and for this comment. Stay strong!

    Several years before I was diagnosed with BP2, I attended an entire job interview in this state. I talked for an hour and the interviewers never got a question in. At the end, one of the interviewers said that I sounded manic. This stuck with me and kept coming back in my thoughts and eventually I self-diagnosed and approached a psychiatrist who was outstanding. Like you, I still have no idea whether I am depressed or hypomanic and people have trouble understanding that. Occasionally I do. What still amazes me, is that out of all those people who have known me all my life (and I was diagnosed at 55), not a single one noticed that I was bipolar. BTW thanks for letting me see you when hypomanic - it helps me see how people must see me when I am in that state.

    Thank you so much for this glimpse into what hypomania is like for you! I've learned so much from the videos you took while you were in depressive episodes, so it was fascinating to see what comes before that. It's really cool that you realized what was happening in time to catch it on camera.
    What stood out to me the most was how much faster than usual you spoke - it gave me a good idea of how fast your brain is moving too, with nothing else being fast enough for it. It was also interesting to hear about your conflicting feelings of wanting to harness the hypomania vs. wondering if you should try to slow down. And I cackled so loud at that bee joke XD
    I hope you're having a blast at Katsucon, and that the combination of post-con depression and depression from this episode isn't too terrible. Thank you so much again for sharing this!

      I have bipolar 2, but when I had a really strong hypomania I realised I was faster than the world around me. It was like a superpower! I figured 5 minutes for me was like an hour for other people. So I tried to count how many more hours I had during a day, but couldn't FOR THE LIFE OF ME get my speeding brain to do maths. It was freaking impossible. My working memory is bad anyways due to my adhd, but here I was thinking so fast that I couldn't remember even the first number when I got to the second. Super-powered brain, but unable to do simple multiplication, lol.

    Pressured speech, it happens and these things do come in cycles. Best of luck! Hoping for the best experience at the festival. I don't have bipolar disorder as I didn't meet the criteria for it, but I do have a history of childhood asthma. Even as an adult, I sometimes need an inhaler and strong Corticosteroids to loosen me up because the coughing spells become intense. However, these things induce hypomania (and sometimes the full-blown thing in the case of IV SoluMedrol) and life simply feels so "fast". Likewise, the irritability is unreal and horrifying. However, in these scenarios, it's either hypomania or not breathing for me.

There are many and I do mean many things that can look like mania that is not mania, don’t fall into the recent trend of younger folks of claiming you have something you don’t know you have. If you want to know some background, I am 48 years old and I was really diagnosed over 30 years ago (back before bipolar was the catch all it has become) and in that time I have learned some things about this illness. I don’t know if you really have bipolar or if you just have a healthy imagination but just please do those of us that have been clinically diagnosed a favor and refrain from posting things about this illness until you really have had proper evaluations, let the doctor’s do their work.

They are less external and more internal but occasionally I mix them up as external because it's sort of like when you have a song stuck in you're head and it gets so loud you start to actually hear it but it's coming from the center of you're skull so you can tell it's not actually there unless there is a lot of background noise. I can feel their energy and emotions and they can make my muscles spasm.

    It's sad because it's impossible for ppl to keep friends with bipolar ..because of this

    We are the same. That is how my hypomania looks like. There was this major event in the office and prior to that, my mania was high which I was so thankful because I did have the energy to finish the activity even post activity. However, when the low came I became so disruptive and I deleted all the contacts in my phone. I yell at anyone even my family who tries to communicate with me and I became even more depressed cause I did not understand at the time why I was so depressed but when I got diagnosed with bipolar, it became clear to me. The silver lining is I now understand and after many years of suffering, I can at least manage it and avoid hurting anyone.

    I'm not diagnosed with anything but I spent October walking around for 8-10 hours at night talking rapidly and just wandering in my mind. I wasn't able to stop and did this almost nightly. I'd go to sleep at 10am or 11am then go to work at 3 or 4. Then walk again all night long into the morning lol. I had to start rolling my feet on a ball because my feet were hurting a lot and I started to have skin issues near eyes from crying and my nose was rubbed raw from my nose running during the crying (didnt cry entire time but enough to cause problems). It reminds me of when you said in this video that you just couldn't stop. I genuinely tried my hardest to stop doing the long night walks into the late morning because my body was breaking down on me from it but I literally could not help myself but to leave into the night and just spin around in my head. Fastforward to December and my nails are disgustingly long and my room is covered in dust bunnies. I feel incapable of doing much of anything at all.
    I did not know that it is expected that a huge down follows after the huge up. That makes a lot of sense why it feels so drastic when the up goes away. I always thought it was a return to more of a baseline but that's not seeming to be the case. Good to know. Regardless, I'm just speculating because I have no idea what's going on. Thanks for the vid.

    I’m so sorry for you. I totally and completely get it. I have hypomania as well as severe depression and mixed episodes. I don’t know if I’ve ever spoke as quickly as you are speaking, but you would have to ask friends and family members to be sure but I know what it feels like just a couple days ago. I literally felt like done three lines of cocaine or something, and I felt it on my insides. It felt like my insides were just gonna burst, I was just gonna burst open because I was so high but I don’t. I actually hate the feeling so that’s where I’m a little different as I actually hate that feeling. I think I usually get a little bit more energy before like you did there’s a little warning sign that’s coming on. That does feel good. I’m more productive and then I go into this drugged feeling but I got lucky yesterday or a couple days ago and it only lasted like a day, and then I take during these episodes. I take extra Valium so that I calm down. I know take a little bit and if that doesn’t work and a couple hours, I take a little bit more until it kind of pulls me down to a point where I’m calmer and it’s not as severe that way, and it really helps me get through the high but like you I dread the low because it’s so debilitating you’re so depleted of energy and I get that part too, so frustrating to live this way up and down up and down and the low is so low that you just can’t do anything. You’re so exhausted out like brushing your teeth feels like too much so I live like that most of the time unfortunately and then I get a high and I get a few things done and then not nearly enough, but then I go back to the low, so sorry you’re having to deal with this Nuro feedback is really helpful for me. I use lens LENS feedback and that has been really helpful. I didn’t. I don’t necessarily recommend any other type of Nuro feedback because the lens reads your brain waves in real time and gives it back to your brain and brain knows how to self correctso that has been the biggest help for me because I couldn’t tolerate. It made me a zombie on like a quarter of a starting dose like I’m so sensitive to medication so anyway thanks for sharing your hypomania. It’s really nice to see that. I’m so sorry for you but it’s nice to see that I’m not alone. Thanks for sharing.

  • @glenrose7482
    @glenrose7482 4 месяца назад +2

    Hi Kit, I have a question as I notice a lot of patterns and crossover between probably almost all neurodivergent conditions and have a very simple theory that ties them together.
    The only difference between anxiety and excitement is how the mind interprets those exact same chemicals released, which is why sports psychologists teach athletes to interpret their anxiety as excitement. I have 2 very young children that would likely experience hypomania if we as parents let them. I've heard people also refer to this as a happiness meltdown. Unlike a stereotypical meltdown where the person also wants it to end, when you are that happy why would you ever want to stop that feeling of immense joy and speed. It is likely why they call it emotional dysregulation as over excitement also triggers it. It is also why anxiety leading up to/during an event etc would also not let that same feeling stop.
    I have also frequently heard people "misdiagnosed" as bipolar which later turns out to be autism but I also notice that there is always some truth in what everyone observes. What I think happens for people experiencing bipolar episodes (not sure if that's the correct terminology) is very similar to an autistic person experiencing a stereotypical meltdown/ or shutdown followed burnout. I find all neurodivergent people are very similar at their core but find the medical label categorises how their brain expresses their anxiety/excitement and how the amygdala outwardly responses to that.
    The reason I bring this up is because the trigger for what causes your manic episodes is exactly the same for an autistic person (ie a hard transition, possible social overload, followed by shutdown or burnout which can often lead to depression).
    My question is (though I've forgot what it originally was) what are your thoughts on this? And if you don't know what an autistic person is (outside harmful stigmas and stereotypes) then think of them instead as a highly sensitive person (which is essentially all neurodivergent people).
    I also like to encourage every neurodivergent person to look at ideas from different neurodivergences on how to cope and manage as we all are essentially trying to manage very similar problems.
    My suggestions for you (with not much knowledge for what work for you) to try are binaural beats (try a few different ones as they each affect me differently but should in theory be fairly stimulating for your mind) and a weight blanket (which you can pace around in but should also help calm you down). Also try removing stimulation with noise cancelling headphones and turning off/blocking out lights and other stimuli (like have calming scented oils in your room). Try going for a walk in nature and pause to observe your surroundings (like bird/animal spotting etc).
    Hope that helps somewhat.

My downside afterwards is the feeling of suicidal ideology coming back again, which i endure hoping for these moments of godlike feelings.

    My brother is going through an epsisode right now, its so bad. Hes been in the hospital for 5 weeks, refuses medication. He talks so fast and slurred you can't understand him, swears a lot and laughs a lot. He would be so dangerous if he wasn't in the hospital. It's so sad. I am glad he is in the hospital right now, because when he drops he will drop hard and would probably become suicidal.
    I love bees too, btw ❤ thanks for the bee joke!

    How do you know if it’s hypomania or mania? I am dealing with this now and I can relate to this all so much! Thank you for sharing

      Years of having episodes tbh. Mania is way more disruptive and I’ve only ever had one true episode and I ended up on the other side of the world. It really comes down to how long it is and how much it disrupts your life. Doctors and therapists can help you better than I lol. But good luck!

    Appreciate you filming this. I was like what is mania really or hypomania ...I questioning weather I have either of these they say impulsive....yes high energy yes but no I can't stay up all night. I can tell I have mood issues can become easily overwhelmed. I do have ADHD but have been researching bipolar what hypo and just mania are. I wasn't sure. I believe it's more ADHD and high masking autism!

      Friends have told me that Normotim can support emotional stability before athletic events. It helps avoid mood swings and burnout.

    My thoughts in my brain go multiples in the millions compared to this when I dont take any meds. As if I simulate my future self before it happens (precognition). It hurts. Better to take the meds?
