All the validation I don't get from my friends and family I get from your videos and I'm so grateful for that. Bipolar people need to stick together. My biggest desire in life right now is for someone who will listen to me talk about bipolar for days and not get annoyed or try and "solve" it.
GreatestSociety That makes me SO happy!! I really really wish people in your life would listen and know how to be there for you and I hope for your future, you'll get that! Love you! ❤️
You are right!!!! I'm here too SIs or Bro-whatever I'm here!!! The BP Army!!!
I love this love in these comments. You guys are great, wonderful, loving and understanding people and friends.
Thanks for being brave enough to put this out there, Lizzie! I love someone w bipolar and I don’t know what to do. But I myself have major depression and it comes in episodes but I’ve been in like one drawn out episode for years now since my son became suicidal.
Now he’s gone, but I met this amazing man and felt I fell quickly in love. He’s super funny, smart and talented.. and he helped me feel alive again. He said he was bipolar but doesn’t take meds for them. But I don’t think he wants to talk about being bipolar at all. He can get very angry sometimes and it seems out of proportion to whatever he’s angry about (often at me or about something I said or did).
What do you think I should do? I’ve been just leaving the argument (usually by hanging up the phone) and the next day we act like it didn’t happen. :/
Thanks for any advice! I look forward to more of your videos! :). Julia
I totally agree with you. Lizzie has helped me understand so much about my relationship with a bipolar person. Thank you Lizzie
I'm watching this with tears streaming down my face. My love is bi-polar and I have no idea what to do.
I have a Bipolar boyfriend, I really want to understand and love him for who he is. I’ve been watching personal bipolar stories to get what he goes through. I honestly loved your video so much because it really helped me learn a insider on what to do.
audrey huggins Working to understand this is a huge thing, I'm sure they really appreciate the effort. Keep trying, good luck!!
Hang in there he needs you!!!! GOD BLESS!
Did it work out?
Goodluck! I've been trying for 5 1/2 months. I'm burned out!! Can't picture myself going thru this for YEARS to come.
I wish we could be in contact with a group or something for people who love someone with bipolar.
You have a gift. I am 38 years old and was diagnosed with Bipolar I when I was 22. Watching this video I felt, for the 1st time in those 16 years, that someone out there might actually understand how I feel. Thank you.
its really validating scrolling through the comments and reading about everyone else's experiences loving a bipolar person. makes me feel much less alone
SO validating to me too! You are never alone. 💛💛💛
LizziesAnswers Thanks for your reply, I was wondering if you could also give me some pointers on some things. I am long distance dating someone with bipolar disorder and she’s coming to visit me next year. Should we try and time her visit for when she’s likely to be hypomanic? And secondly do you need to be careful with big romantic gestures for a bipolar person, can it throw them off?
I am neurotypical, have no childhood trauma, had a very stable upbringing - but I am effusively romantic. I made a secret full-colour sketchbook for her, of fantasy drawings of us exploring different sexual and romantic scenarios that she can take home as a gift. When she first arrives in my city, we planned that she will stay in a nearby hostel for the first night or two. I imagine calling them up and asking them to put a bouquet of roses on her bed. Then I think, her favourite colours are black and red, can you get roses that colour? Should I hand paint them so some of them are black? Should I leave a note? Should I wax lyrical about her soft lips being the rose petals, her teeth desirously biting her lips as the thorns, her moans being an undulating zephyr that gently sways the rose?
My gf has recently diagnosed bipolar (1yr) and I definitely notice some of the things talked about in these videos sometimes. It’s actually such a relief to hear a lot of it, I always worry that her behaviour and distancing/temper is because of something I’ve done. I know I could have handled many situations much better so I’m addressing that about myself but I also know I need to learn as much as I can at the moment to support her the best way possible. I love her so much, she is honestly the most incredible person I’ve ever met and want to be with her forever. She isn’t very vocal about it at the moment it’s hard to know what to do to get to a point where we are completely open about it. All these videos exclaim how important it is to communicate and be very open about it, so I need to get this across to her and let her do it in her own time/way. If anyone can help me with the best way to approach talking about it I’d really appreciate it. I’ll do anything to support her and make her feel loved so any help would be amazing, thanks everyone!
I could do with some ideas for this as well, my friend told me he doesn't like talking about it and that was that.. but I really think he should. I always says I'm here if he wants to talk, but he never does and just brushes it off
I know what you feel
you have brought to light so many things in understanding my gf and her disorder. you've clarified so many things and gave me so many tools to use. you're awesome and please keep up the videos. it was very difficult dealing with her before I watched your videos but now I understand it's out of her control and it makes me a lot easier on her and calmer towards her when she is angry and manic. now I understand her more... Thank you!
I seriously can't get over how relatable this is. Thank you.
This is amazing. I've gotten really close to one of my friends in the past 2 months and yesterday I just found out he is Bipolar. I know very little, only basic, general things. I really wanted to know more and this video, I feel, really helped me understand a little bit more about what he may go through, as everyone is different. Thank you so much. I am definitely watching more of your videos. Both of us are Christians and I literally sat up in my chair when I heard you say that you are too. I took 2.5 pages of notes. I just want to be able to be the best I can for him. Thank you SO much.
I truly appreciate Lizzie and these videos. I don't know anyone else in my life that has Bipolar Disorder. I just really wish that I had people that actually just listened to me and actually understand. I have people who treat me like I am just this person that "needs to snap out of this", and that I am "Being ridiculous". These videos make me feel like someone does understand, and that I am not alone
Dealing with someone who has bipolar is literally like dealing with 5 people at one time.they go from one person to the next within seconds..it’s almost like walking on eggshells around them and you never know who you’re going to get

How old are you?
The part where you said when you're in a relationship ans they push you away, lose interest, ignore you etc, want out of the relationship... Sometimes it's better advice to take those actions seriously... Leave them be. When you push harder, they just abuse you, they make yor life hell, they block you, its a losing battle. I just feel telling people that no matter what, to keep trying and showing you care... Is just carelss advice. It's not respecting the other person's wishes or boundaries... And it's just pushing yourself onto them. Guess who learned that the hard way.... ? Guess who made a fool of themself for caring too much, too hard, always trying to help them. Etc... Yeah I'm sorry but... Don't generalize everyone with bipolar in that category of "just keep trying... ". Cos chances are they really don't care about you at all and you're just a pawn in their sick little world. As someone who was recently diagnosed as bipolar... There are certain people who I would not want to keep trying to be there for me because chances are they get on my nerves. Or I just don't like them. Some, yeah, I wish would have tried more... But they didn't... So there ya go. Bipolar isn't a one size fits all.
🙌
I just loved the way you describe our feelings and the way our brain see, understand and feel a situation, when we have bipolar. That’s the first time I listen to somebody who REALLY KNOWS how it is to be on my shoes!!!! OMG!!! It was MAGICAL
Thank you so much for your videos. I am 41 I have 10 and a half years in prison, I got out, got in a relationship right away and had no idea I have bi polar disorder. I stayed with her for 6 years we had 2 kids my son is bipolar I destroyed my family and left them to save them. I got in another relationship and we too have made it 6 years and now I have destroyed this relationship but I finally realize! My eyes are open now! She is going to stand by me as I go through recovery and she is willing to learn how to deal with me then she will let me back in the family. Your videos are so beautiful because they say the things I struggle to. since I was in prison for so long I have ptsd and my emotions are all messed up. These videos are so healing to me and my family that I am trying to save. Thank you so much!
Im just getting to this now, you have put alot of things into words that I haven't been able to put into words for the longest time.
Opening up and being vulnerable is such a strength and power. Thankyou for this.
Right now, being recently diagnosed with bipolar, going through covid lockdown, and living alone for the first time. Ive been really feeling this.
Because of this video, i feel a little less alone, a little less broken.
Lizzie-I've been diagnosed for over 15 years now and ive never fully understood what i was dealing with until this very moment. Ur very well spoken & ur doing this world a great services of bringing awareness. Tysm
Man, this so so so so so helpful, i've met a girl that has the bipolar(and several other diagnoses that follow it) and i really wanted to help her because of all the stories she told of how confused she was and how much pain it caused in her life, im glad i found your video, it helps me understand her a lot
Thank you for having the courage to share your story and for offering insight into the thoughts and emotions someone with this condition might be experiencing. I recently started seeing and getting to know someone with bipolar who goes through rapid cycles of depression and manic episodes. It's been challenging to keep the faith in him when he's pushing me away or shutting me out. So when he's acting this way I drive into educating myself in order to avoid doing or saying things that could make things worse. It's hard trying to let him know he can trust in me because his last relationship was very damaging to his mental and emotional health. She used what she knew about his illness as a weapon to hurt him and mess with his head so now he doesn't trust anyone. He finds me easy to talk to but when he's transitioning he totally shuts me out and won't answer his phone or the door. I just keep trying to get as much information as I can to try to help.
OUTSTANDING!
I wish I would've found this 4 months ago. I've learned alot from other videos.
But I have to say this is Tops!
I'm bipolar too and for this being so new to me, it's hard to deal with this alone. no one really cares and I feel so unstable sometimes...this video made my day and gave me the strength to say im NOT ALONE. im glad im not, because if I was, I wouldn't know how to go through it. and the racing thoughts are the worst thing along with the mania I have. the fast speech and irritable mood like ALL the time. it sucks. but I am glad for you helping me and for everyone in the comments staying strong.
I have a friend with bipolar and this video really helps me to understand everything, and to knowing what to do. Thank you so much
I was married for 28 years to the love of my life. He understood me sooo well and just listened to my ranting with such kindness and compassion. I’m not sure if he inwardly thought I was crazy but I know that he loved me and put up with my craziness. He passed away five years ago after a 3 month battle with a rare horrible cancer. Losing him has completely changed my life and I’m struggling to hard to go on without him in my life. No one gets it but I feel like you guys might get how hard it is to lose someone who loves you so much even though you are flawed
Hoping you're doing ok Laura ❤️
This is absolutely the best information on the web about bipolar. Thanks Lizzie!
Thank you for posting this as I find your videos inspiring and as a bipolar person it’s nice to hear from someone else who also is bipolar and who explains it in a very personal way. So go on as you really are awesome!👌
Currently going through our first episode together and I knew NOTHING about Bipolar and this has SAVED me. Thank you
Thank you. As someone with bipolar1 I've watched lots of your videos, but this is the best one in so many ways.
Lizzie,
You're Amazing! Also, I feel indebted to you for getting me through this situation with a girl. ;)
True Inspiration.
Thank you so very much for sharing. All these years I thought I did something wrong to push her away! I will be more forgiving/understanding next time. Your insight has taken a lot of guilt of my shoulders. Your amazing and your vids are incredibly helpful. Continue on in educating us.
Thank you for being here. You’re an Angel!
You are such a gem for real😭😭😭 I'm bipolar and I've never identified with someone as much I have with you. I'm just from watching your dating video and I'm just... No words😭😭😭😭 First time btw, subscribed even😭😭😭 just God bless you👑👑💎😭😭😭 I can't stop crying🙌 from Kenya💜 And you're so lucky to have such amazing friends, so lucky... God bless them too😊
Your video made such a huge difference on my day today, thank you very much. it is so complete, sincere and thoughtful. I am going to share with my family and friends.
Thanks for this. You make me informed more about Bi Polar depression. I can finally understand what am going through I can finally give it a name..
Thank you for sharing this information. I've been living with my girlfriend that is dealing with bipolar disorder for just over six months and I really didn't understand how to deal with the realies of what she goes through until I decided to start researching what bipolar disorder is and how to be more involved rather than just giving up on her and our relationship , because I really care about her and find myself worrying about her especially after she opened up about how she really wishes that she could just die and end it all sometimes. I really needed to hear everything that you have said in this video/blog...
hang in there with her, she needs support
Thank you so much Lizzie, Im going to watch this again. Never knowing that my husband was bipolar. Were a year/ half into our marriage and Im just finding out. I want to have a better understanding. This helped alot
You put this video the day before my birthday, and I am watching this video the day after my birthday. Very informative. I will do my best to love someone if he or she has bipolar. Have a great evening, Liz. 🌇
This helped me so much trying to understand bipolar. It hurts me to know how clueless I was. Thank you so much!
God bless you Lizzie your a true Christian at heart. I can relate with you even tho I don't have bipolar but I have been at different ends of the spectrum for depression. God bless you and thank you for being so brave and courageous through it all.
I send your videos to my sister. Your a light lizzie. Let your light shine.
Thank you so much for making this video. I care very much for someone whom I believe is bipolar. It answered so many questions to things that confused me. Thank you
This is so inspiring... I believe my BF Has bipolar disorder... Not sure if he knows I know but he just broke up with me last week. I refuse to let him go through this alone because it seems like he's pushed everyone prior to me away.
My family thinks that I'm crazy to want to even deal with this. But I don't see myself walking away because of something he can't control. I'm going to try and reach out to him again when he calms down.
Eh, be careful with that, though. If he's oblivious to whether or not he has a problem, it won't work to make him see that, and you may end up hurting yourself. It's lovely that you're trying to be compassionate, but respect his boundaries, and also create some for yourself. :)
I’m living this right now. My bf moved out two weeks ago .. it’s so hard, but we did set boundaries.
Dii Dii i have the same thing with my boyfriend he just broke up with me dont feel bad its hard but still
My boyfriend has bipolar yes he does come and go its very hard to let them go because u still love them my Family thinks iam crazy to go back and forth its hard for me i always know he cant help it
Dii Dii can we talk privately .. its important ..
Thanks Lizzie for the book recommendation of Dear Fang with Love! I burned through the whole book in a single session :).
Thanks for posting this. I’m in the process of determining whether I’m bipolar with a doctor, but regardless of if I am or not, great stuff to know. Definitely was able to relate to a lot that you were saying, though!
Alykhan Visram Good luck, I hope things are going well for you!
how is this entire video on point, its very relatable
Thank you sooooooo much for sharing this! It has been an eye opener for me.
You're amazing, thank you for making these videos❤
Another incredible video! You're my favorite RUclipsr.
Thank you so much for this video. Really trying to support a family member through this xx
my love of my life was diagnose to have Bipolar and I am trying to help him. thank you for this vids Liz!
Nikki Caliao Keep trying, we're rooting for you!!!
It is helpful to attend him to counseling as well. Having my wife come to meetings, or private counseling has helped me and her.
I like the intimacy of your videos, I find myself watching these when im feeling down. Its not that I think im bipolar necessarily but I watch these because I always find that I can relate to certain things you say that I dont think I would hear elsewhere. One thing that made me actually consider that I might have had some "manic episodes" was that thing you said about pupils dialating, I remember a few times of being out with friends and them telling me how my pupils were crazy big, as if on drugs, and I remember thinking it was funny because I thought I felt so good I must be high or something, but it was never anything as extreme as what you have talked about as far as what I did then, though I mean im sure it would depend on the person.
I know this video is a year old but thank you for helping me further my knowledge on bipolar. I had books on them but I'm more of a audio visual person so this helped me alot to help my girlfriend that has bipolar and keep up spreading knowledge on this topic 👍
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. My older sister has had bipolar since I was very young and as a kid I never understood what she was going through or why she did certain things. There have been times that I have been SO hurt by the things she has said and done, and from this deep place of hurt I really struggle not to demonize or even hate her. Know that I am growing up, I am beginning to understand her. I'm a Highly Sensitive Person - and so sometimes when she has manic episodes I JUST WANT TO RUN AWAY and ISOLATE myself from that intensity. I am praying that God would help me to love her like He does even when it feels so confusing, because I really want to. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
She also struggles with eating disorders, ocd and adhd, and anxiety.... And so there's a lot I still need to learn about loving her ❤❤
don't give up on your sister; i am bipolar and my sisters and parents don't talk to me anymore. it's devastating. sometimes we hurt people and we can't help it or know what we're doing, it's like an out of body experience. we are super empathetic and feel so badly about the people we hurt when we're "out of control" please have forgiveness and empathy and patience :)
I’ve shared this with some family and friends, thank you for making this.
Thank you for this, my bf is bipolar and this has helped me understand him a lot :)
I cant help but to cry hearing that im not alone that I can hear someone I can relate to and validate my emotions thank you for this :(
Thank you so much for this! Your so knowledgeable. Just saw your video and you gave me a lot to share with some of my closest friends thank you again please keep posting :)
Thx Liz, this is so well in debth explained. and u make it a treat to whatch the whole thing. i whish u all the best.
Wow this is amazing, you're such an inspiration 🌸
Thanks for helping me understand about Bi polar people. It is so hard to deal with my friend who is Bi polar.
Lizzie. You are an amazing person. I am not bipolar but am a bipolar partner. I came across your video at 1:00am in the morning trying to research ways that I could use to make my bipolar partners day better, not life but each day. The feeling that there is nothing I can do at times brings on a tremendous amount of guilt to me and thus adds more stress to my partner. Hearing you explain your struggles and tools to help with it is a great blessing to me. Thank you. You have a new subscriber..
Carleton Corley Please don't feel guilty if you think you can't help your partner. Sometimes the very smallest acts of kindness can mean so much to those of us who have bipolar. Just sitting with us, holding us, fixing us something to eat, a smile, or a kind word can go a very long way. My boyfriend will go on walks with me when I am feeling depressed or tries to get me up and moving. He never forces me to do something if I don't want to. And one thing you have to remember is take care of yourself! Don't let your partner drag you down or you won't be able to help at all. I wish you the best! And thank you for caring enough to try and learn how to help someone with bipolar. I wish there were more people like you in this world.
Angela Barrera I’m exactly like the Original commenter. Here studying/ learning how to care for the woman of my life whom has bipolar illness
It’s really not fun at all
@@angelabarrera24 My girlfriend and I had a fun weekend a couple weeks ago. Our relaitonship is over 2 months. She told me she was going to cook me dinner the next day. She texted me later that night and I asked her what time she wanted me over for the next day and she never replied. I got ignored. Basically it boiled down to me reaching out a few days later checking on up her, she says things are great and when I tried getting her on the phone, ignored. She reached out a few days later to update me on a matter and when I responded to it, I also tried changing the subject to something positive like our fun weekend, and she ignores. I gave her flowers and a card a few days later and she later thanks me for them and I told her to let me know if she needs anything or wants to hangout and I sent her a meme (she would send me memes all the time) and nothing. She basically cut contact with me and I'm not sure what to do. Is this a depressive episode?
Thank you...saying it from the core of my heart...i just was in need of this so much ...thanks a lot... Really thank you
I absolutely feel all the things you mention in this video. I was recently diagnosed with bipolar type two and had a friend/ partner of 6 years leave me because they didn’t understand and thought I was dangerous. Thank you so much for validating how I am feeling at the moment. I am going through a massive identity crisis because of this. I am trying to document my progress on my own channel and I found it relieving even if no one really watches it haha. Thank you so much!
Cat Teeps I'm sorry your partner didn't try harder to understand you. I hope you the best of luck in life and love!
Sorry you had to deal with that "friend" they sound like an "A-hole" to me but I like to say I have NO FRIENDS. To count someone as a friend I'd have to be able to depend on them and there is no one I can so that leaves me. Like that "Team" Iggy Izalea song
only one I need
is someone one like me.....
My ex husband is probably my only friend. Even so there are MONTHS we go without speaking. I'm considering moving to be closer to him. The city will be bigger I will have more of a chance to MEET other people. Here, there are meth addicts, drunks and users!!!
I am from old school . I graduated from high school in 1997. I learned a lot from older adults, and it does a lot of help 🙏. It's nothing wrong with prayers. All are helping me, and it's helped a lot too.
I am a mom that has a son with bi-polar. Your videos are so helpful. Thank you
You made a brilliant job of this video, thank you :-)
your incredibly inspiring !! I hope you reach many more people as your amazing with words and explaining your experiences. I'm so glad I found your channel. :) thanks best advice and support I've found over the last year of trying hard to find what I was looking for. I'm so glad I found the awnsers here so a huge thank you :) xx
great videos, thank you for all the work and help. Very clear and precise information. congratulations :)
At the risk of sounding harsh or selfish, this is a lot to ask. To be super considerate, observant, helpful, and available at all times... potentially for the rest of your life. Not that it's not fair or deserved, but it seems better if you have a few friends/loved ones who can help and support you as a team, along with your therapist and psychiatrist. I don't think one person can be all of these things at all times.
Additionally, I think it would be interesting to hear from the other perspective. How can the bipolar person be a good friend , family member, or partner despite their illness/symptoms. How can someone work with/around their symptoms to still be considerate, observant, available, etc for their loved ones (those people that support them the most).
Many parts of bipolar mean that the person with bipolar needs extra support, but what about when his/her loved ones need the person with bipolar to be there for them and he/she can't be? Even though it's not personal, it's still difficult to deal with and accept. Any tips?
Very well put👍
I'm the "carer" in a 6yr bipolar marriage.
I love my wife more than I can put into words, but it's an incredibly isolating path I choose to walk.
Emotional support flows one way and that's very difficult cope with at times.
I can't have a bad day, be upset, need empathy or emotional support. Not because my wife can't offer this to a degree, but because of how that then affects her mental wellbeing.
She's unable to process "stress", at least not in a healthy way. Stress makes her unwell and exasperates her BP.
Example: I'll be undertaking several medical procedures in a few months time, not life threatening (🤞) but physically life changing.
I'm nervous, frightened and worried about the changes to my physical appearance and general health.
A time in a person's life where emotional support is essential.
After much deliberation I decided to tell my wife and her response was predictable.
She didn't really wish to talk about the procedure and became uncomfortable when I described my feelings about it. Finally I got a pat on the arm and we've not spoken about it since.
Her health has begun to deteriorate, her immune system seems to collapse under such pressures and she can get quite poorly.
I have no family or friends to turn to, so much of the time I just keep stuff to myself... Some days we just need a hug too😢
I agree Andrew, it's like being a butler which has to also look out for emotional state..
iloveladiesman217
And even then its a not good enough and they will blame you lile this girl has memory loss so even if you work it out they forget its mission impossible trust me spaeking from the heart
I think this would make a GREAT non profit!!! I've been told by the suicide hotline that I was "wasting time." Since I wasn't going to immediately kill myself, I learned what NOT to say so I don't get a trip to the Hospital.
Why not have people around to talk to? Believe it or not there are people around who WILL talk to you at 3 a.m. if you need it, ME! Why can't I expect the same? Only the truth is I don't talk about this to people........
Read Wess Burges book "Bipolar Handbook" I think I have his name right! I'm slightly offended that you say a person with bipolar needs extra support. I've NEVER had any extra support in fact I've had NO support!!! I don't have people I'd call "friends." If you saw me in my home town you'd think I were the mayor. I'd get tons of hugs and people asking how I am, maybe or maybe not. I was also raised in super fucked up interracial family.
My diagnosis of Bipolar has helped me know what's going on with me AND here is where the "extra support" comes in. I am certifiably "disabled." I qualify for benefits which I take. I don't plan in "working off the system." Even my psychiatrist told me that I probably wouldn't get the benefits. I was at the bar (I'm not a drinker) this woman I know was telling me her story and listening to me she at one point said "You're not on disability!! You've dealt with so much on your own you're entitled to it!!" She happened to have been married to my ex apartment manager. Which was INSANE because I've known the manager since I was 9....I didn't know he got married.
Some extra help I could use is knowing my RIGHTS!!! Our apartment manager thinks everyone who lives on Section 8 is stupid...one man runs a literal store out of his apartment yet I get threatened with eviction due to having "paper" on my bookshelf. Those papers are in order.....she also threatened that I may have to be responsible for buying a new toilet due to calcium deposits......now i KNOW that crap is a lie!!! We all have hard water!
This has pushed me to attempt suicide.....or more like drive to the place where I would do it..obviously I didn't. I spoke to my ex and told him if I got thrown from here I'd have no place to go and I'd rather die. God led me to know that there are other places to move to even near my ex so I am looking into that AND looking into getting my own house.
To come here, I had to lose my house, felt forced to give up my animals so when I got my lump sum the LAST thing I wanted to do was to "buy a house" I had no idea if I could even maintain it. Now after having to deal with this ASS manager letting people into my apartment AFTER I signed the lease......see like I said she assumes "disabled" means stupid....anyway......
I, personally, have 1 person I consider a friend and they are a fake ass back stabber..... I am my OWN best friend. So no, if you can't support someone who is bi polar best to not even try. I am the one people go to for rides, etc. I went so long without a car when I bought my Mercedes, with CASH from my money I said I will help people in a way I wish I had been helped.
I don't know what else to say. I find it sad that you feel it's "too much" to be that supportive to another person but I understand it. I was adopted and the woman who adopted me has no contact with me yet she has her biological son living with her stealing from her.
I've been really struggling after being finally diagnosed adhd and bipolar at 29, I keep just looking back at all of the things they messed up in my life and thinking about the what ifs of had I been diagnosed as a teen. It caused me to get pretty suicidal so I tried to talk to my mom about it since she's the only person I have left in my life and she said "so go to the bathroom and kill yourself then". Never again will I talk to anyone about my issues, but your videos have helped me alot and helped me understand so much more about myself. Your voice alone calms me so sometimes I'll just listen to them for that aspect alone. Thanks for all you do for all of us
I thank you for all your videos as a bipolar myself sometimes I pray for someone to understand but I just put on the right face for the right occasion until then pray for me please and I'll pray for you God bless you 🙏

This was very helpful. My eyes got bigger and bigger. This will help me be the husband I need to be for my wife. Thankyou so very much. Bless you! I hope you make more videos, you are making a difference!!!
i felt the pressure of the anger
within.
anger that felt like a soaring
wind swept past, and had become my
aura.
again and again i had tried,
hoping to burry all the emotions
i'd felt aside.
i felt both pain and rage, and i
usually never mix the 2 but
tonight i am not the 1, to play
games...
i was another being, my aim just
was not the same.
my mood switched and switched like
a driver switching lanes,with
drunken actions, looking out the
rear window and not the front for
a change.
my brain felt, just this once ,
it couldn't handle 1 more feather
to the load.
people asked about me, "eh, its
nothing they were told" but there
where things unexplained, a piece
of me had fallen from the mold.
i tried to hop back on my shit,
emotions tried to toad.
though i never had the force to
make emotions flow in cold, the
need for
someone else to come in and crack the
code.
all for a fight no one else will
ever know..
i paused the video and write this once i heard you mention people doing this during the imbalance, my was just coming to its ending point which is actually the only reason it was able to be written. i had a tone of fixing to do as well, because the emotions made me scrabble the words incorrectly at times.
Ive learned a lot from the two videos Ive watched. Ive tried to find information on bipolar, ive managed to find some but not as good as your videos. I'm trying g to help my girlfriend and get her back. Thank you
Love this video, i've sent it to my friends :)
I wish I had you as a friend Lizzie!
Audrey314123 Me too, add me on Instagram I'm looking for people to relate to @embelina18
❤❤❤❤ all of this genuine and caring support.
This video is so beneficial, thanks for sharing it
I'm not too sure whether I have depression or bipolar and watching your videos is really helping me work it out and I feel like I'm on a path of self discovery :) at age 30 things a slowly making sense.
sazzlepop Both have the lows and awful days, with depression it's normal to have a good day sometimes. With bipolar it seems like someone has flipped a switch and you've just snapped out of depression and into a high. For me, I was told I had depression and wondered if that was it, but after I did more research I was able to recognize the behaviors and switches in myself. Keep searching and talking to doctors until you find what you need. Good luck!

Please! Forgive us as we feel so unforgiven.
you are such an amazing girl..being so useful to me so far. my gf is wanting to break up with me and make a distance between us for while. but um really struggling and trying to educated myself enough to know how to make her comfy. she's the love of my life. and i really don't wanna lose her.. EVER. and um going to give her a real talk this night so wish me luck 🙂 and THANK YOU.🌹
ahmed ali Good luck, keep trying and education yourself!
Stay by her regardless of how she feels she needs u, she is isolating herself from you and many others thinking thaat she could be toxic to you
Just wanted to say i just turned 48 & am married wth grown kids,ive done it all...i also agree 💯 about the weed n drugs, although i smoke weed. But i really enjoyed this. Im a backslidden preacher. Thanks 🙏 for your time sis!!! God bless you & really enjoyed the scripture. Sincerely,a bipolar brother.
Trying to understand someone who is bi polar is like trying to understand your young child's art project like it was a Picasso
Paul Miletch oh yeah?
Art critic, eh?
Omg, the sense of self thing is so spot on.
you're extremely organized
Thank you so much for this! My boyfriend is going through a manic episode right now and is about to go to the hospital and it’s so painful for me to see him like this know that he’s hurting inside.
Anytime I have a problem with my fiancé and he doesn’t understand why I’m mad about something you make a video for how I feel. Which is great because I hate talking out loud and can only express my emotions on text or through writing. Thank you wish I knew someone like you in real life !!!:(
Much needed, I made my own video on this on my channel if anyone is interested in another perspective. It’s amazing how many people watched this and commented cause they care so much to care for us, warms my heart.
Your videos are amazing and so are you!
Good vid! Thanks for your help!
Thank you so much for this video It has helped me a lot
You are correct im bipolar you' know the symptoms we are not alone thank you Dana Rowe
Incredible tips I just came your Channel - Stay Blessed and continue the Journey.
All of Our Strength is the Lord ⬆⬆⬆ 🙏🏿
Right…got it… Don't expect me to pick up my room, clean up after myself, wake up to my alarms, or apologize when I'm mean. Basically just do everything for me, and give me everything I want, and all the affirmation I could ever dream of, and that will help me be more healthy… Thanks
Thank you for making this video!
