Sometimes you know when you're getting close to slipping. I've never heard of "preventative", but it sounds like a safe thing to do if you feel yourself going towards a bad road. I agree with you.
Absolutely. Sometimes you can feel when you might have an episode. You know your own traits better than anyone else so if you do or say something out of your character and you're like "why did I do that, that's so weird." And realize "Ohhh... I think I'm gonna have an episode or about to." It can help so if you need to check yourself in or even just take a little break to try to catch yourself from slipping. I was diagnosed with bipolar at only 12 and I'm 25 now so over the years I've learned little about myself as far as cues go.
I'd rather have those little cues opposed to it almost coming out of nowhere. It certainly does that at times.. like mania hits you like a shit ton of bricks.
I am severe bipolar 1/Trust me!! I can feel an EPISODE coming on/I use to just fight thru it/but now I check myself in to get stabilized/my episodes have become few and far in between/now it's about every 2 years/ it's important to sake mental health facility because some of these episodes spill over into Suicidal Thoughts so it's best to get help when you feel this type of feeling coming on/and it's safer for your family!!!
Mary Thompson bless you for finding your path. I was married to a man who was diagnosed bipolar in 1988 and put on a massive dose of lithium (if drugs help, more drugs help more!) and he had such an awful reaction he refused treatment. I'm so happy to read that you have found a method that works for YOU. That is the hardest part. Have a wonderful 2017!
I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder Type 1 two months ago. Its a hell! There are times you feel suicidal and I punched myself because of frustration. I take medication to stabilize my mood swings. Running and Biking sustained my sanity.
There is preventative Bipolar Therapy, it's called CBT cognitive Behavioural Therapy, also talk therapy / meeting regularly with your psychiatrist. Other things help like mood journals and intervening early with lower dose meds rather than waiting to full blown mania and requiring hospitalization
@@ilqar887 it's a disorder due to the cyclical shifts in extremes that affect your mood, behaviour, thinking, energy levels etc. It's a huge & unbalanced strain on your mind and body. It disrupts your life in a chaotic way. You easily lose that ability to control yourself the way undisordered people can, and it can wreck your economy, relationships, health. You can become psychotic from the mania and/or depression. Imagine the impact it has not only on you, but on your friends, family members, other loved ones, and those around you: a partner, a child, neighbors, your colleagues. The struggle to keep a job, take care of yourself, drive safely, to organize all aspects of your life & the capability to stick to your plans, to be a responsible adult in general. There's a huge difference between e.g. purposefully taking a drug for recreational purposes-knowing you'll become sober afterwards, compared to having an organic disorder that forces you into these states involuntarily. Being in a hypomanic or manic state isn't just about hyperactivity, "happiness"/"euphoria", being incessantly "on" and driven as if by a motor, etc. but it can also entail irritability & aggression, inappropriate sexual behaviour, risk-taking, grandiosity, racing thoughts, a disconnectedness from reality, burnout, etc. And the "crash" when you progress lower and deeper into a depressive state is an immense contrast to the highs of bipolar. The consequences after after manic or depressive episodes can be life-altering. There's a reason why suicide risk is so high among those with bipolar. It's a very challenging & difficult disorder for everyone involved, but especially for the disordered person who has little choice but to learn to handle & live with the incurable condition.
@@ilqar887 and why specifically it's considered a disorder: it is a disruption of the systemtic functioning of your brain. It's severely distressing and constitutes an impairment. It is disabling as the dysfunction causes a significant loss of autonomy.
So, what exactly happened on that cruise ship? Manic? Depressed? It's not like flipping on a switch is it? I thought it was a gradual slide into either state.
She IS her bipolar disorder. Plus I have never heard of "preventative" bipolar therapy any more than there is "preventative" rehab for alcoholism/drugs.
It exists but it's called 'you have to learn to forsee what happens before an episode so you know when to seek medical attention.' You could consider it somewhat akin to a recovering alcoholic knowing when they are getting to a point where they would normally pick up the bottle and calling their sponsor or going to an AA meeting instead.
@@gateauxq4604 Wealthy people can "preventatively check themselves in." Voluntary inpatient mental health programs are out of reach for the rest, who have to wait until they're effed up.
@@suzanneunger541 google orothomolecular psychiatrists in your area..

FYI.. Be well ... Knowledge is power!!
I was a BIG Carrie Fisher fan, but mixing her bi-polar meds, WITH multiple kinds of illegal drugs was not the smartest thing she ever did. In fact, mixing multiple kinds of illegal drugs WITHOUT bi-polar meds is not very smart. SO sad that she needed illegal drugs, as a crutch, to get over every hurdle in her life...which certainly did not help her struggle with bi-polar.
she never claimed it was smart or suggested people should follow in her footsteps? it’s not like she was advocating for it. she had a serious mood disorder which has a massive comorbidity with substance abuse - smartness doesn’t really come into the situation when you’re talking about mental illness.
But it's not about being weird, it's about taking care of yourself and your illness. 'Normal' is all relative with bipolar but being properly medicated can very easily become the difference between life and death.
kindly shut the fuck up when you don't know what your talking about. Living with BPAD, is not fun, being 'weird' and eccentric. What looks funny on the outside would be agony to her
Love u carrie fisher. God bless ur soul. Ur a true inspiration. RIP
RIP Carrie, u will be missed!🎬🎬💓
I think by "preventative" they mean...when you start to feel yourself sliding....before it goes full blown.

I don't like it being called manic depressive Bipolar Disorder sounds much better and I am Bipolar
Our moods go by the tides/bipolar does sound better than manic depressive!! I agree!! Drinking water makes all the difference!!
We are made of mostly water/WATER keeps us balanced!! Dehydration will bring on an episode!!!

CBT doesn't "prevent" anything. Been receiving it for 9 years, still bipolar.
Carrie Fisher = Hollywood Royalty A True Gem
I'm bi polar so I have real highs more than lows it's intense emotions can be good or bad I don't know when it's coming i thought I was just being me
How is it disorder though?
Omg me too!!!! It’s honestly the most exciting and terrifying experience at the exact same time

Is it just me, or does this seem really edited?
Here... and here... and more here... :)
Krlos Yocelfi : did u know about carrie fisher death.?
Yes I know. About Debbie too and I'm worried about Billie Lourd's health because the problem may be a genetic issue.
Krlos Yocelfi :Oh i agree totally with u on that, so true💟🎬🎥she does have taylor loaner.
So, what exactly happened on that cruise ship? Manic? Depressed? It's not like flipping on a switch is it? I thought it was a gradual slide into either state.
Yeah as a person with rapid cycling bipolar, believe me for me it completely is like a switch.
Saved by the bell !

That interview didn't even scratch the surface of any of the questions asked. Rather pointless.

The editing is horrible. Do better EXTRATV. Like wtf. Hardly answered the questions properly cause it was so heavily edited.

Substance use is incredibly common with bipolar disorder. It's a form of self-medication and has nothing to do with being smart.
she never claimed it was smart or suggested people should follow in her footsteps? it’s not like she was advocating for it. she had a serious mood disorder which has a massive comorbidity with substance abuse - smartness doesn’t really come into the situation when you’re talking about mental illness.
Funny both daughter and mother died on the same day???
Who gives a shit? Just be weird! Who cares if other people think you're weird or not. You don't have to learn from CZJ - just be yourself!!
But it's not about being weird, it's about taking care of yourself and your illness. 'Normal' is all relative with bipolar but being properly medicated can very easily become the difference between life and death.
I followed your advise and took a shit on the table... people won't talk to me anymore.
kindly shut the fuck up when you don't know what your talking about. Living with BPAD, is not fun, being 'weird' and eccentric. What looks funny on the outside would be agony to her
Bi polar.
