I lived with this for a VERY LONG TIME and it’s NO WAY to live if you don’t have to. If you feel something is wrong. Something probably is. Might not be BPD but could be something else that has comparable symptoms .

    I told my psychiatrist that I no longer recognized myself, I no longer knew what I was and what the symptoms were, especially because I lived like this for about 16 years before being recently diagnosed, I have bipolar affective disorder type 2. So he said to me: see what the life and behavior of a person who is not bipolar is like. I became thoughtful and reflective, and this made me realize how sick I was. A simple sentence made me understand the entire context of my life, and I've lived with this for so long that I thought it was normal to be like this.

    I think I might be bipolar. My parents definitely have untreated mental illnesses from untreated trauma and have scarred their kids through their coping mechanisms. I used to have longer highs when I was a kid but have more frequent lows as an adult and am honestly just tired of going to war every day. My moods shift so fast that I’ve given up on having any meaningful friendship with anyone out of fear that they find out how messed up I am. Don’t know what this is but some part of me wants to keep going.

    Worst part about bipolar episodes - when u want to try to reconnect and apologise to someone you hurt during an episode but dont want to resurface bad memories. I had a horrible manic episode a few years back where i asked a co-worker who was a friend and who had a boyfriend out and was angrily rebuffed. God i cringe so hard thinking about it. I don't want to reach out cuz km afraid it will resurface a rough memory.

      If you can, find a therapist to talk to. It really helps. Another thing that helps is to learn about lots of different kinds of psychological conditions, like bipolar, adhd, autism, anxiety, depression, etc. At best, you might recognize yourself and you can learn how to thrive in your own unique way. At worst, you will be better prepared to interact with other neurodivergent people. I am 34 and was not diagnosed as autistic until I was 32.

      Although I get we need names for diagnosis, but looking further into the symptoms of bipolar disorders, they seem more like hormonal imbalances to me. If you feel a quick burst of energy of happiness, it could easily be explained by a quick rise in serotonin or testosterone. A lot of environmental factors recently cause a lot of hormonal problems. Problem is, endocrinologists won't bother with mental diagnosis, and psychologists don't know medicine. A psychiatrist only pops pills. But if just 1 person would study the cause of our hormonal issues and link environment to mental health, we could be saved. These "mysterieus mental issues" don't just come out of nowhere. Autism, for one, is most likely caused by mercury in the environment, not just genetica. The mercury changes the DNA and from then on "mental issues" become "hereditary". Explain to me then why there are no older people with autism. I rest my case.

    For the longest time, I thought I was normal. I thought everyone had the mood swings but that they were better at hiding it. I thought I was weak for needing to express myself and eventually felt so weak and useless that I started s*lf h*rming and even tried to commit s*icide. Legit, I thought everyone was like me but that I was the only person who couldn't handle it. Then my parents took me to the drs and they told me that it isn't normal to have the feelings I had. Hearing that was a relief but also heartbreaking. At the time, they couldn't tell me what I had but that I had something, so not knowing what was making me feel this way seemed to be a form of torture. Instead of feeling like I was weak, I felt utterly alone.
    A few years later, after many dr appointments, I finally got diagnosed with bipolar. I was like "what's bipolar" The dr explained it to me and all I could do was cry. I weeped and bawled my eyes out for ages. The dr asked if I was OK and that it is OK to feel upset. I told him "I'm not upset. Not at all. For years I thought I was weak and that I was totally alone with how I felt. I thought it was something I had to face alone. I'm relieved to hear this cause it means that I'm not alone. It's not something I have to do alone anymore"

    For religious people:
    Do you think this mental illness is a combination of brain issues and soul or spiritual problems? I have debated this about myself after being diagnosed with BiPolar 2 over 5 years ago.
    Example: I take my antidepressant and I no longer FEEL depressed, I fixed the mind issue. But I am not “happy” or fulfilled or whatever word you want to use. That work has to be done in the soul.
    In my opinion, I removed the depression cycle which was a hindrance that normally wired brains don’t have. But that only frees me to now work towards a true happiness and that issue has been throwing me off. It’s what I describe as “soul sickness.”
    After so many years of being depressed and at times suicidal for 3-4 days out of every week, then unexplainably happy for 3-4 days, then back to depressed again, I never got a chance to have hope or even dream of the future. I always thought I was probably living for the last year. I lack the skills of taking care of my happiness or even knowing what I want. This is hard!

      Yes. many bodily afflictions are intertwined with the mind. Heart literally stores your feelings. not your brain. You brain just collects and processes information. I went though chastisement and lost my humanity and feelings for awhile. I felt dead. and I learned the heart and gut bit have brain cells that connect to the brain. gut feelings are real. and love actually comes from the heart. Sin, and the corruption of nature that happened because of sin, does affect us in many ways. You are a 3 part being, made in God's image. He is 3 people, Father Son and Holy Spirit. You are Body Spirit and Soul. You are a spirit. the soul makes you human and like God. but the body is fleshly and evil. corrupted by darkness. We are spirits who experience light and dark. but we have the direction of God, through our soul, to do what is right.

    Its a dangerous illness. It hurts everytime the mood changes. The hope to live is reducing. Every emotional feeling emphasis all time. And feeling hurts like physical pain. Anger, grief, pain, broken, unreasonable happiness all are part of it. Even can hallucinate certain things like some person is next to you, follows you and criticize you. Hearing some voices when you are in depression. High headache like some stone is kept in your head or someone is pulling your head is a major physical pain. Moreover acting like you are happy and positive in front of others and cries alone, or if you are in anger you shows to yourself, and sometimes to suppress your emotional pain(depression or anger) physical pain helps like scribbling your hand with sharp objects. Most times sucide comes to mind like saviour from all the pain and emotional cocktails, but family and scare of dieing by self resist it. Lack of concentration in work and study, sleeping for long, eating more than you want, cant enjoy any happiness around you coz of the after pain of happiness is hell. Screaming, crying, punching in wall, scribbling in hand, being reckless is all things you remember when someone asks "how was your day". Nothing cant hold you back from the pain. And no one understand what's happening. I know how people who are suffering from like these feels, the hope of one day everything will be alright is the one thing that resist people from self killing. But sad part is no one will ever know what your life was.
    While reading this you may think how do i know all these. The fun fact is this is what my life is for the past 7 years. Its been soo long that i have slept peacefully. Even i didnt know when this all started and what was all these. People around me doesn't know it either. Still i dont know is this a treatable one or its common to all, but this is soo hard to handle eavh day passes. Why im writing this now in comment is becoz i dont have anyone now to share this. No body to help or may be its me who dont show my need to others. So while watching this video and reading comment i realized there are people who is like me All Alone handling. so here i am if anybody wants to talk or needs a listener to listen your feelings then can post here. Atleast we can be there for eavh other.

    These past few days, i kept myself busy on watching any videos here in yt til i got the term bipolar. I thought it just means having a mood swing but no, it literally defined my situation right now plus anxiety. I know i am not alone in this battle. We can do this guys! It may be hard, but for the sake of ourselves, let's do things that will make us better. Aja!

I would sleep more,sometimes i would listen to music, I become hyper,it makes me so happy. Do I have bipolar disorder? I used to have depression for 1 year.

    I love learning about mental health a lot! It helps me understand people and even myself. I’m recovering from depression, sh, and suicidal thoughts. After all of it it’s even more clear to me how important and serious mental health is and to look out for others and yourself! Didn’t think I’d make it to the summer but here I am enjoying it. If you are here because you have bipolar disorder or feel it fits you I want to let you know I feel for you and you can make it through the rough and even soffocating parts of it!💗 mabye you feel like you need to end it soon because it’s so hard to make it through each day but it’s not true. Seeking help even for the minor things does help a lot. And don’t feel embarrassed for it it is serious and people really do care. Good luck!

However, doing so can literally change and save your life. Even if you find what your correct diagnosis is by watching RUclips videos or even studying off of books, you may still need a prescription and monitoring for the medications you may need. So please please please go see a doctor

Its sad to think about, but I guess at the same time it's just something I have to except that I have to live with. Set up an appointment with a doctor, hopefully they can find me physcotherapy, or maybe prescribe some medication which was recomended.

    When I was younger I was diagnosed with having clinical depression.
    I seem like others? I'll have my really good highs. I'll be happy and never want to come down.
    But the moment I feel someone tries to controll me, or make me feel less of a human..I get super depressed. I get these thoughts saying, 'End it all. Why are you even alive?' I'll start to then think about all the shit in my life that is wrong and can't seem to focus on anything good.
    I have figured, I write my feelings out and that usually helps?
    My friends have been commenting about my naps at lunch during work. I'll stay up all night and sleep all day. Sometimes I function off just 5 hours of sleep. Other times I could sleep all day and not care.

    I'm here since my mom has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder 4 years ago. This is my second time living at my aunt's place for several months due to my mom's manic episodes, that convinces her to stop taking her medication. This leads to some really depressive episodes that can potentially take her life. The people taking care of her tends to send her home too quickly (in the manic stage) which leads to her messing up her medication and yet another depressive episode develops. I found this video to learn more about it, as i'm still not too familiar with it I feel. I'm almost an adult now, and I wanna be able to understand the symptoms so I can help my mother in the future. Thank u for the video :)

    My older brother suffers from bipolar disorder. When he was off his meds once, I noticed how manic he was. It was like his mind was reeling and his mouth couldn't keep up. Every little thing set him off. Mom finally asked him if he had been taking his meds and he admitted that he forgot to call in a refill. She helped him get it done and he was back to his old self. I can’t speak for him (even though we know each other so well that we finish each other’s sentences), but it was scary to see my brother and not recognize him.

    Dating someone with Bipolar disorder for 2 years and my advice
    A ex girlfriend, from years back when I was a freshman in college, recently came out messaging me she was diagnosed and treated for Bipolar disorder over the past 3 months. She then went on to say the medication and treatment is helping her a lot making her feel great and normal again for anyone wondering if it worked in her case.
    Maybe 9 months back she called me out of the blue saying things like "see you soon", "are you awakened yet", and "it'll all make sense soon enough." A random maybe 2 minute phone call that didn't make much sense. I texted her asking if she was high because she didn't seem like herself. She then got extremely mad at the comment then said never to talk to her again and blocked me. Very weird but I accepted it for whatever it was and continued with my life as normal.
    This week, some 9 months later, she messaged me saying that was her having a manic episode and breakdown at the time and apologized going into it all.
    Now from my understanding this kind of bipolar is a extreme case of mood swing and change most people shouldn't expect or be afraid of. Prior she was always a emotional person and even so sometimes for the better, but there always a undertone she maybe had something going on.
    In dating her for the 2 years, I found talking out everything that happens or she brought up thinking it was a potential issue, leaving nothing unsaid, explaining yourself, and being willing to listen are the best ways to handle and comfort someone with bipolar disorder.
    Now the issue is, that requires caring a lot about that person and having the time to be there for them. Also, you as the other member in the relationship you can't take things too personally in arguments or fights your partner makes. It's kinda a lot to deal with my from experience but I was willing because she really was a great person I loved. Currently, me and her aren't together and I have my own life and relationship so I don't think it's right for me or respectful to my current girlfriend to be talking and doing all this. I still care for her in a lot of ways, probably more ways than I should at this point, but the past is the past and I hope the best for her.
    Hopefully this story helped with something

My boyfriend has this really erratic behavior that I could never understand, I was actually starting to consider if he was who I thought he was, a good person at all or someone who cared about me bc of how he got during fights (verbal stuff but just being super hurtful and saying things he himself says doesn't really think after the fact). He literally can't physically control how he gets and it's just not normal. I haven't left bc I know that he does love me and that's he's a good person and the way he breaks down when he knows he hurt me is genuine and heart breaking, but there's something about him and I'm getting tired. I'm looking at bipolar symptoms and he fits the description. If it was him having this, he could get help and I could understand more of it, not take the nasty things he says seriously, I already have so much patience w him without knowing any of this, if he did I'd be willing to help him. But i don't know how to bring this subject up to him, that he mighthave this, and I also feel it might be wrong for me to do this, someone else should diagnose him, but his family doesn't have money for a therapist, so idk...

      @@atheneamndz1200 yeah idk personally coming at someone telling them they need help I don't think ever works, if they want it they'll get it else nothing will ever change. But it shouldn't be up to you to have to deal with all that especially if it negatively affects you to the point it bothers you.
      From what I had to deal with it was more emotional and trying to support her and think out things for her if she was getting frustrated and started acting like the world was collapsing with the mood swings.
      Yours seems a little different, he's coming after you a bit from what your saying.
      "Giving it up is not giving up." If things aren't well and you aren't happy what's the point of it all. Even if you love them you still need to put yourself and your happiness first because your the one who has to live and deal with it at the end of the night when nobody is around

    If anyone else is here because they are trying to understand bipolar disorder or find support. I a very severe form of bipolar I wasn’t diagnosed until a few years ago. I was afraid of the side effects of medication. After I spent a year I in full psychosis and got run over by a car I realized my disease is potentially fatal without medication. I have been doing well since 2017. I now vlog about my experiences with my disease. But I do want to say I lost years and years of my life to this disease and I spent years undiagnosed thinking everything I had done while manic was my fault when it wasn’t. I hope anyone out there blaming themselves knows it’s not your fault.

      My advice as a 21 year old who is bipolar and was depressed at your age, (which I definitely came out of) is to just stay positive and enjoy being young and hanging out with your friends, and generally enjoying life. As you get older you will be more level-headed because at around 12 you are very hormonal and it affects your mind. Just don’t EVER do things like stay in bed all day, down yourself, be lazy, etc. If you get depressed start moving and doing something. Be productive and surround yourself with friends and family. Remember that kid, just keep moving.

    Thanks you literally just described exactly what I’m going through.

I’m unfixable and the only other outcome is not trying anymore. Putting down the torch accepting how cruel this world is as an adult and waiting for peace.

    I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder a few years ago. After my third suicide attempt I started taking my meds and got into college. Now im off my meds and I'd say I'm doing ok. I love my doctors and I feel really comfortable meditating and talking about my ups and highs. My only regret is that, when my doctor told me my diagnosis and he said bipolar I said: pls don't tell me about it, i'm scared that if I know all the details I would look it up and start "mimicking" what I read. I don't know if that makes sense, but now I want to know more.
    To everyone dealing with this I send you guys hugs and strenght. It's exhausting but life is worth living. Keep it up, we can do it. ♥

    My Uncle and Aunt, suffer some mental disorder. Whenever my mom would bring them home from the hospital for sometime we would always have this moment of peace which last around 3-4 weeks and then this week would come where they become hyperactive but in a bad way....like they would want to burn things, or go for bike rides at very high speed and sometimes threatens to kill anything they don't like e.g. a crying baby...and they will not listen to anybody. My aunt is easier to handle but my uncle....he's twice the size of any of my family members and have such strength.....
    I'm scared out of my mind every time they come to stay with us but my mom insists on bringing them home especially during winters as the conditions in the hospitals are poor (in my country, sadly) and my mom loves my uncle, her brother, dearly.
    Watching your videos helped me understand a little bit about them and kind of know what to expect....but I still can't sleep a wink and I'm constantly praying.

      Do you have close friends with you that could accompany you to a psychologist or psychiatrist? Or any support system for that matter if your parents initially refuse to go with you? Though in my humble opinion, your parents are the ones that shall go with you in seeking professional help because once they're there, the psychologist/psychiatrist could talk to them and help them be educated with the kind of illness you would be diagnosed at, plus their presence could be of huge help in providing emotional support during this crisis in your life...

    • @gOzaruVids

      Try to write down all you think when you feel anxiety. Analyze that kind of mind and ask your parents or doctor for help. I have managed to free from bipolar and zyprexa thanks to method I tried to myself. Your mind control what you feel. So if you think about the sad past and it happened very quickly, you will feel sad too. Control your mind when your mind start to remind you about the past. Like this, tell your mind that I don't want to remember that past again. I want to be happy. I fought my mind like that every day until I stop think about it again. Now I become the most happiest person even though I am poor. That is all because I can control my mind to what I want and that make me very happy. I am no longer in depression state. Now I am in a big projects and I am working hard to fulfill my dreams to help a lot of people. Try my method. I hope you stop hurting your self by thinking of suicide. One TIP, when you think about suicide it means that your brain cannot solve the problem you have in the past which make you very sad. It is normal mechanism of fly or fight. So whenever you found yourself have suicidal thought, tell yourself: "Why should I be sad? I should be happy now. I will do things which make me happy. I will help my family. I will help a lot of people." Then start being grateful for what you already have. That's all. Oh yeah, don't forget to pray to Jesus for help against this problem. Jesus made me strong against my mind everyday. Believe me.

      Don't ever listen to anyone except a trained, educated professional in the field of psychology if you ever suspect you are suffering from a serious mental disorder. When I was younger I suffered through a period of extreme stress, anxiety, depression and insomnia, - evidenced by the sudden appearance of dark circles under my eyes - but was told by my Dad to "Get over it". I didn't recognize how serious my situation was, thought I just needed to 'toughen up' but many years later I discovered that I have a serious mental disorder which probably resulted from - or was at least exacerbated by - this period of trauma. Depression is now known to cause actual brain damage and physical changes to how your brain operates. It's perfectly logical to think that damage caused by one disorder can trigger other disorders to occur and if they are not treated, you are in deep shit. NEVER listen to someone who really doesn't know what they're talking about. My life is ruined because I didn't receive some simple treatment way back in 1998 when this problem first arose. There's a good chance a parent will say anything to reassure you that nothing serious is wrong because they know the dollar cost involved in getting professional treatment is high, and they may also just be engaging in wishful thinking. If you KNOW something is not right, GET HELP.
