She *seems* . Bipolar and people with borderline disorder can be very difficult to handle, especially when you are close to them, as family members or friends. Sometimes it seems like their life is all that matters and everything revolves around them. Be supportive, but stay away in their worst moments, there are paid professionals for that, otherwise they will suck out your energy, like leeches.
they pretend and behave like all it'S just , try a little harder, put in a little more effort, yet they put me in a constant state of exhaustion..... for months and finally years.... from which you do NOT just snap out of at will, nor by decision...... actually you never snap out of it until you leave those people who did and do this to you regardless of effort
Talk at me name me jealous with sex missout stories gaslight me truck me fool me this is ask auf that they did not ne so u what why the shut kettle are....
the worst part of bipolar disorder is that the affected person accepts it very late and they loose a lot of friends and people who don't understand what the person is going through
Yes, people need to understand this. Andrew has social anxiety but he always challenged himself to make videos where he awkwardly interacts with strangers. This acceptance of his awkward personality has always inspired me, since I also struggle with social anxiety and depression.
This interview reminds me of how inpatients in hospitals talk to each other. as a former inpatient, we would talk about our darkest moments and laugh at it together, it’s a coping mechanism, but it felt cathartic as well.
I remember casually eating peanut butter on crackers as bro tells me how he got arrested on meth with a machete chasing someone who owed him money. A needle meth user. He said someone doctored him into it. But he was cool and we became friends.
OMG SAME. And it’s really interesting hearing other people’s experiences who have the same or different diagnosis as you as it really gives you perspective. In my case it was psychosis. Also, you learn their coping strategies.
wow. this girl suffered through so much, yet she has a smile like that..my heart aches for her past self, but she seems to be doing so much better. Wow. Very strong woman. I hope her smile always stays that bright
I was at a point that even strong ass sleeping pills couldn’t knock me out, but after an entire year trying I kinda have it under control, it’s still a struggle but I’m finding motivation
Same. You know I found a really good book today on nutrients and how they affect people and how to heal them? It’s pretty good. I’m also seeing Detective Pikachu this week
My heart literally dropped when she said she was used in child pornography. So sad that these people have ruined her life. I hope all the people who use children this way die and go to Hell !
That isn’t what caused her illness. It is very unhealthy to blame bad things in your past for how your life is now. PTSD is different. But to say someone has BPD because of a bad experience as a kid is simply false and a lie. Don’t assume you know her life because she never said what you’re saying.
I agree, I do the same sometimes, I will laugh about it and make of my suffering I guess to try not to drag others down, also I don't want them to feel sorry for me.
Ya I did notice that. That could be because of two reasons: 1. Medications, it keeps your modd light and more over, keeps you happy either by generating more serotonin and dopamine than normal, or by blocking the receptors, in both cases you feel happy for no reason. 2. People often laugh or smile when they want to overcome nervousness and social awkwardness. I am sure she is feeling better with the medications now, but it becomes a habbit and people continue to do so with no reason. It's important to be noted to understand that someone with this habbit might be going through something or recovering and may be we as a society can be sensitive to them and try to talk it out.
@Rutland headlock and ruined V4 rr I realize the happy moments can be to far in between, I suffer from depression myself. Everyones depression comes from a different place and I suppose that has a real impact on the possibility of happiness . I have become more accepting of my situation but True True long term every day happiness is a myth , but some measure of happiness is possible. Unfortunately sometimes we have to work hard for it , which is a shame ✌
What most ppl dont understand is that it takes A LOT of time & healing to get where shes at & so when ppl see her happy & joking around theyd never guess how dark her past is. theyd think she's fake or she's trying to gain attention by saying shes bipolar. Shes very strong to have gone thru such horrendous stuff & yet managed to get to this stage of her life. Most ppl arent that lucky. I hope the best for her.
fwegr gegefg You really don't. It's hell. Psychosis is extremely frightening and mania can manifest as irritability, anxiety, paranoia, argumentativeness. You spend loads of money you don't have, do a load of drugs and drink which makes everything worse and eventually drives you into a dark depression where you can't do anything and feel like killing yourself. It's not fun.
@@nandrolone.is.underated that's what most folks think bipolar is, but that description just doesn't cover it at all. it's periods of deep, deep depression where you can't get out of bed. then, it's followed by periods of extreme mania which is often displayed as feeling invincible, having promiscuous sex, spending all one's money on foolish/absurd things, believing that you don't need medication, being unable to communicate effectively, not sleeping, and general poor judgement. yes, it often times feels good, euphoric even, but it is not real happiness. it absolutely interferes with routine daily life, and that's what makes it "abnormal," or thus part of a mental disorder. i'm sure you were just kidding around and all, but trust me, bipolar disorder is not something you want to experience, and it's not something you want your loved ones to have to deal with. it's really tough. my mom was diagnosed, and it's been a rough time.. my friend's brother was diagnosed, and he would disappear for weeks, only to be found sleeping in the park once he had crashed. they couldn't get him to take his meds when he was manic. but anyway, if you ever meet someone with bipolar disorder (I or II), i definitely encourage you to talk with them about it, if he or she is willing. i feel you could learn a lot. but hey, i feel ya on the always being low part. i'm the same way. that's not fun either.
@@astronomydomine17 i'm glad that you've found a way to function at a more acceptable level. i'm still fighting with myself on a daily basis. i constantly think, "maybe i am just lazy," though i know it's my depression. anyway, i definitely agree that it's really important for people to understand mental illness. if we keep sharing our personal situations and stories, i'm hoping it will eventually reach enough folks to where we can change the way we discuss and treat mental illness within our society. take care, and keep fighting.
spending money on foolish things ? just wanting to spend money at all sounds fun i wish i could spend all my money on foolish stuff im probably just gona kill my self and give all my money away couse there is nothing i want that money can buy
@Paul Bacon yeah, i only saw like the first ~6 minutes but my comment does not contain any info or oppinion that could not be based on this. i just trusted her and Andrew, that she wouldn't rant about jews or something later in the video :-D
junge robin du stecher was geht, ich weiß noch damals letzter schultag du im rollstuhl, n klassiker oder. grüße aus der nordvorstadt du weißt was abgeht
I doubt her story.trauma yes but her disposition is way off, she may have Pseudo bulpar or dysregulation, where you laugh nervously, uncontrollably, but it's nothing to joke about!😊🤔🤔
My law teacher was a family lawyer and she would tell us stories about the divorces she's seen happen and how families broke down in her office. She stayed there for 2 years and then quit to be a teacher
Idk. I don’t mind his interviewing tactics. Like he laughs maybe at wrong times but at the same time, he does struggle with social anxiety, and it’s probably more of a defense mechanism.
The real therapists of the world do not use artificial drugs to muffle symptoms of a problem, they fix it from the source, psychologically. There is no therapy in numbing symptoms.
kek that’s not true . Everyone is different. Perhaps a combo of medication and therapy of some other sort is best for some . It’s very disappointing to say what people do is not wrong . Very judgmental I think so please be considerate of others .
She did ok. There is still lots of pertinent information and misinformation about the meds. Lithium is not like any med ever.and lamictal can leave you in the burn unit.
Catrenia D'Imperio okay? My statement still stands . Yeah maybe she’s wrong about her med info . But that doesn’t make her treatment wrong or stupid . Your comment has no relevant argument to bring your statement to a argumentative point .
Seeing how easily she can talk about all of this makes me want to go to a psychiatrist. She’s had so much more trauma and a bipolar I diagnosis and she seems very functional. Thank you for this channel, it makes me more hopeful.
I personally don’t struggle with mental health and I’ve never really cared much tbh. But watching your “Chatting With” videos have really opened my mind, and I must say it is really interesting. Kinda makes me feel bad for being so insensitive for such a long time. Keep up the good work man, I really feel like I’m growing as a person because of you!
It’s a horrible experience dealing with one. My ex girlfriend had full blown mania and stole my credit card. I also had to chase her through on-coming traffic as she was ranting illiterate rhetoric. It was disturbing and scary and made me depressed for awhile. Fuck dealing with bipolar people who don’t want to help themselves
deelightful some people don’t know how or they think they ended up ok with how their parents treated them badly. Lots of folks saying it’s ok to hit a child, spank them for getting out of line, etc.... so unfortunate that this will continue for a long time
It’s a combination of Trauma and genetics. If 100 kids experience the same trauma, they will not come out with the same disorders or symptoms. Some won’t come out with any, some may be extreme. A lot of depends on your genetics; some people simply don’t have the gene. It’s also influenced by life AFTER the trauma, whether or not you learn coping skills early on, avoiding triggers etc
Bipolar disorder is no joke. It's a constant learning experience. Knowing your triggers is so important. I noticed signs at 18 but wasn't diagnosed properly till I was 27. It can be hell not only for us but those around us. The guilt is really heavy sometimes when we fuck up due to the disorder.
Yeah i didnt get diagnosed till last year (28). It was empowering really, I am now studying fulltime and working fulltime because I understand whats happening when I dip. And EVERYTHING in the past makes so much sense now. I just thought I got the winter blues and thought nothing of it for years but never gave much thought to sleeping 2 or 3 hours every night in summer and feeling amazing. Far from perfect but fitness and avoiding drinking and caffiene seems to have a great impact.
The fda just passed psilocybin for depression trials. I was diagnosed with bipolar and borderline personality and psychedelics saved my life. I was diagnosed about 8 years ago with both. I was a shit show. My first ego death was the beginning of the end for me. Fast forward from two years ago and I was able to completely get off all meds since then. Now fair warning it’s not a pillow fight to do this route . I completely turned my psyche inside out and upside down. I had to grind our every day since then but all in all I was able to look within and now I live consciously in the subconscious. Good luck y’all
Intrusive thoughts are some of the worst things ever dude. OCD and intrusive thoughts with depression and anxiety got me back in 2017 but I’m back and better than ever. A lot of recovery
Kayla Monroe i would do a lot of research and look up different things to deal with the constant feel of hopelessness and unwanted thoughts. It weighed on my life for a long time, I couldn’t do things normally and my appetite was gone. But one thing that I knew in the back of my mind was that I had been happy before in my life, so I wasn’t gonna stop til I reached that point. Fitness was a big deal and I attribute that to helping me get through
Seeming happy and being happy are two wildly different things. The stigma in today's society to deviate from normality makes people develop very convincing social behaviours to seem normal, whether they want to or not. Humans are social animals and being cut off from "the pack" meant certain death when these things evolved.
James Bra you guys are ridiculous. If you want to use labels, we're all different, weird, crazy in our own ways. There is absolutely no normal. If anyone claims to be normal, I'd be cautious!
I am amazed and appreciative of this young woman's story. What she bravely shares is something that is rarely spoken about among friends and family, that people contnue to NOT know the realities of this mental illness. It is about time that we talk about this topic without anxiety or shame. Thank you, and thanks to your brave guest. I suffered depression for decades, and no medication worked. Through research, I learned about Vit B12, supplements, mental reprogramming and self forgiveness, were necessary for my mind and body to arrive at a normal, calm, controllable existence. Now, I actually know what "I am fine" truly feels like. It took a long time to get better. This is not to say that I don't get depressed anymore. I am just able to reduce the amount of time I suffer in that dark, bottomless pit, and hopelessness that comes with it. Good luck to you both. Lets hope our progress continues.
She just described everything I feel and can't say to anybody without feeling like a weakling or a bother. Thank you paloma you really seem like your glowing on the outside but I know on the inside it can be different. I'm considering talking to a specialist after watching this.
Honestly man, this woman has been through some serious shit and to come through, the way she has is unbelievable, truly inspiring. It feels like the interviewer is trying to mack on her in bar, looking for the laugh, asking some pretty inappropriate questions that she handles with class. Dude, we get it, she's hot. But man she's talking about some incredibly serious stuff..Anyway power to her. Love & respect xx
Art of the State I don’t think he was hitting on her at all but the questions he asked made him come across as ignorant...he clearly didn’t do research on the disorder before doing the interview
My sister's bipolar. I try to be as calm and understanding as I can be with her but any conversation I have with her is really intense and unpredictable. Its like walking across a field of hidden landmines, hoping that nothing explodes if you make the wrong move.
i'm very familiar with that feeling.. it's my exact experience with my mom. at least i can relate to her when she's in her depressive state. you're a good brother for trying your best to be calm and understanding. that's all you can really do.
I knew someone was going to say that. Man all we do is judge people by how good looking they are all day long I'm just a little sick of the same thing over and over.
@@jakepokemonman1227 If you knew someone was going to say that means you realised it to. The only difference is he commented his judgement and you kept it inside your head.
@@jakepokemonman1227 If you think people are not seeking for beauty - then why do you buy a nicer looking car - why won't you buy a shitty car? I am not judging you :p
I’ve recently had some severe bouts with anxiety, stress and depression. I was having some physical manifestations caused by these problems which caused me to rush to the ER some 7 times in the past 7 months. This would also include dozens of doctors visits. All my ER visits resulted in the doctors saying I was physically fine. Not until my doctor recommended seeing a therapist did I start to feel so much better! Long story short sometimes men don’t seek the help they need because of the fear of being perceived as weak or less than a man. I definitely fell into that category. I’m so glad I sought help. I’m currently on medication and working through my issues. I definitely feel better. This is a great video for people to see. Thank you both so much.
More chatting with mental disorders! People seriously misunderstand things like OCD, ADHD, and depression, and they don't realize how impactful they are. You can use your platform to help inform the public. I have Tourette's Syndrome and ADHD and first-hand can tell how misinformed people are, and I would love to change that
I cried when i saw this in my notifications, I have bipolar disorder and its so hard to find legit info from people with the disorder on youtube and now its coming from one of my favorite channels 😭
I have Bipolar Type 1 so I really appreciate the chance to see the perspective of the same disorder I have through someone else’s eyes, I could immediately see similarities and it was nice connecting to a video. Thank you for this!
Holy shit that abuse. Good job on the interview Andrew. Keep making these, also youtube algorithm if you're reading this was very family friendly I watched this with my dad and 2 year old nephew.
Like it kind of seems as if he's nonjudgmental but also comes off like he isn't sensitive to her emotions or how uncomfortable the questions might make her feel.
yes...maybe it was just my experience, but my therapist never actually had time to speak to me? And I thought the whole idea was to message the moment you need help, or at least day-of...but you have to schedule an appointment. Usually days to a week ahead of time. And I'm not saying these people should be available on demand, I'm saying thats what it's advertised as. Should say $65 per session.
for my Life to be good, in her eyes, I would need to be part of an organization with a "Logo" and a "Brand" and I would need to be socially integrated and brainsocially tucked in there in a way that I die off social starvation if I leave..... then I would have to make publicity for that Brand and impose that Brand and Logo above theirs...... and then maybe .... mayyybe I'd get some respect, but in all likelihood, they would rather try to lure me out of there and pull me in theirs or let me starve at distance like they already did........
Why is it so easy to impress everyone nowadays? If you can even say a single sentence without saying "umm" or "like" people say "wow so articulate!", fucking ridiculous.
Wow, she is a very very brave and strong lady 🏃🏻♀️💪. If she can go through all of this, including continuing her work and studies while going through an episode, I’m just mind-blown. So much respect. A lot of successful people had or have bipolar. They’re often able to empathize with more people because of the wide range of emotions they regularly experience, especially the severe sadness. People like Winston Churchill and Catherine Zeta Jones, along with everyday heroes (mom, dads, teachers, counselors, doctors, etc who also have the illness and still charge forward in life).
Amazing interview! Thanks to the two of you for destroying the barriers. We should consider mental heath and physical health as a whole, we should be empathetic to all health. 🤗
Thank you for opening up about this. It's difficult to understand the way bipolar type 1 is impacting you- especially if you're creative and work with the highs and lows of inspiration and putting together projects. I finally accept how this is something I must address in my own life and lithium has honestly saved my career and life. Pieces like this are life savers as well. Thanks again!
I know it’s been a while but thank you for posting this. I was diagnosed with bipolar in July and you feel so alone and crazy sometimes. Everyone imagines bipolar as just mood swings when in fact it’s so much more.
I was diagnosed a few months back with bipolar 2, and have been in the process of finding the right med. I'm actually on exactly the same medications she is on, I'm praying these are the ones that work for me. My psychiatrist told me that many of her patients come in with the same story I presented with- you try anti depressants to treat your depression for years, and they either don't help at all or make it worse. They are misdiagnosed with depression because the hypomania doesn't feel like a problem- when you have been feeling so low for so long, hypomania just feels like not being depressed for a while.
This series deserves so much more attention because it seriously sheds light on different topics and shows you the side of someone who relates to the topic. (Not saying one person speaks for all)
I really could relate to some of the manic episodes she was having. It's nice seeing people talk about some dark topics in such a nice and enlightening video.
What a beautiful, brave, and strong woman. As a man with a disability and severe panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD, and depression, a lot of things she talked about resonated with me before talking with a doctor and finding the right combination of medication and counseling, which is an ongoing process (finally seem to have found the correct med combination for me, but I still have more counseling sessions I need to go through)...but I am certainly grateful to be where I am today. I am also very thankful and grateful for people like her that are willing to speak up because its 2018, and people need to realize that these things are medical issues in the same way physical or other illnesses and diseases manifest. For some reason, when it has anything to do with mood, anxiety, depression, or anything to do with your brain, a sizeable number of people tend to shrug it off and think you can just "get over it." You can't just immediately "get over" the flu or "get over" a broken bone, and these things are just as real and serious as ailments of the mind.

but anyway, if you ever meet someone with bipolar disorder (I or II), i definitely encourage you to talk with them about it, if he or she is willing. i feel you could learn a lot. but hey, i feel ya on the always being low part. i'm the same way. that's not fun either.
@@astronomydomine17 i'm glad that you've found a way to function at a more acceptable level. i'm still fighting with myself on a daily basis. i constantly think, "maybe i am just lazy," though i know it's my depression. anyway, i definitely agree that it's really important for people to understand mental illness. if we keep sharing our personal situations and stories, i'm hoping it will eventually reach enough folks to where we can change the way we discuss and treat mental illness within our society.
take care, and keep fighting.
spending money on foolish things ? just wanting to spend money at all sounds fun i wish i could spend all my money on foolish stuff im probably just gona kill my self and give all my money away couse there is nothing i want that money can buy

The real therapists of the world do not use artificial drugs to muffle symptoms of a problem, they fix it from the source, psychologically. There is no therapy in numbing symptoms.
kek that’s not true . Everyone is different. Perhaps a combo of medication and therapy of some other sort is best for some . It’s very disappointing to say what people do is not wrong . Very judgmental I think so please be considerate of others .
She did ok. There is still lots of pertinent information and misinformation about the meds. Lithium is not like any med ever.and lamictal can leave you in the burn unit.
Catrenia D'Imperio okay? My statement still stands . Yeah maybe she’s wrong about her med info . But that doesn’t make her treatment wrong or stupid . Your comment has no relevant argument to bring your statement to a argumentative point .

Seeing how easily she can talk about all of this makes me want to go to a psychiatrist. She’s had so much more trauma and a bipolar I diagnosis and she seems very functional. Thank you for this channel, it makes me more hopeful.
I personally don’t struggle with mental health and I’ve never really cared much tbh. But watching your “Chatting With” videos have really opened my mind, and I must say it is really interesting. Kinda makes me feel bad for being so insensitive for such a long time.

seems like every disorder is linked to childhood trauma
pbr actually no, bipolar disorder is most of the time generic... if you have a parent with this disorder you'll probably have it too.
Some are and some are not. Not sure which ones specifically
So treat ya kids right!!!
deelightful some people don’t know how or they think they ended up ok with how their parents treated them badly. Lots of folks saying it’s ok to hit a child, spank them for getting out of line, etc.... so unfortunate that this will continue for a long time
It’s a combination of Trauma and genetics. If 100 kids experience the same trauma, they will not come out with the same disorders or symptoms. Some won’t come out with any, some may be extreme. A lot of depends on your genetics; some people simply don’t have the gene. It’s also influenced by life AFTER the trauma, whether or not you learn coping skills early on, avoiding triggers etc
Entirely opposite personalities. He’s dry as hell and she all giggly. Pretty funny.

*Awkward Stare*
Bipolar disorder is no joke. It's a constant learning experience. Knowing your triggers is so important. I noticed signs at 18 but wasn't diagnosed properly till I was 27. It can be hell not only for us but those around us. The guilt is really heavy sometimes when we fuck up due to the disorder.
Yeah i didnt get diagnosed till last year (28). It was empowering really, I am now studying fulltime and working fulltime because I understand whats happening when I dip. And EVERYTHING in the past makes so much sense now. I just thought I got the winter blues and thought nothing of it for years but never gave much thought to sleeping 2 or 3 hours every night in summer and feeling amazing. Far from perfect but fitness and avoiding drinking and caffiene seems to have a great impact.
@@Alan-fv1or a routine is very beneficial. Keeps me out of trouble lol
The fda just passed psilocybin for depression trials. I was diagnosed with bipolar and borderline personality and psychedelics saved my life. I was diagnosed about 8 years ago with both. I was a shit show. My first ego death was the beginning of the end for me. Fast forward from two years ago and I was able to completely get off all meds since then. Now fair warning it’s not a pillow fight to do this route . I completely turned my psyche inside out and upside down. I had to grind our every day since then but all in all I was able to look within and now I live consciously in the subconscious. Good luck y’all

Stephen Ray all u mentioned is my current life now as well as bipolar 1 & PTSD currently seeking help can’t keep living like this
Kayla Monroe i would do a lot of research and look up different things to deal with the constant feel of hopelessness and unwanted thoughts. It weighed on my life for a long time, I couldn’t do things normally and my appetite was gone. But one thing that I knew in the back of my mind was that I had been happy before in my life, so I wasn’t gonna stop til I reached that point. Fitness was a big deal and I attribute that to helping me get through
Stephen Ray thank u so much I should try to get more active again
I'm glad you chatted with her! There're many poor stigmas behind Bipolar. Paloma was a good person to talk to about it.
she was so brave, my heart goes out to her because of what happened to her.
She must have had some amazing counselling and be on great drugs because she seems so happy and at peace with what she’s been through. Good for her.
Seeming happy and being happy are two wildly different things. The stigma in today's society to deviate from normality makes people develop very convincing social behaviours to seem normal, whether they want to or not. Humans are social animals and being cut off from "the pack" meant certain death when these things evolved.
Her behaving way too happy and laughing while talking about trauma, to me it looks like a coping mechanism too.
"So youve got Bipolar Disorder?"

I am amazed and appreciative of this young woman's story. What she bravely shares is something that is rarely spoken about among friends and family, that people contnue to NOT know the realities of this mental illness. It is about time that we talk about this topic without anxiety or shame. Thank you, and thanks to your brave guest.
I suffered depression for decades, and no medication worked. Through research, I learned about Vit B12, supplements, mental reprogramming and self forgiveness, were necessary for my mind and body to arrive at a normal, calm, controllable existence.
Now, I actually know what "I am fine" truly feels like. It took a long time to get better. This is not to say that I don't get depressed anymore. I am just able to reduce the amount of time I suffer in that dark, bottomless pit, and hopelessness that comes with it. Good luck to you both. Lets hope our progress continues.
She just described everything I feel and can't say to anybody without feeling like a weakling or a bother. Thank you paloma you really seem like your glowing on the outside but I know on the inside it can be different. I'm considering talking to a specialist after watching this.
Honestly man, this woman has been through some serious shit and to come through, the way she has is unbelievable, truly inspiring. It feels like the interviewer is trying to mack on her in bar, looking for the laugh, asking some pretty inappropriate questions that she handles with class. Dude, we get it, she's hot. But man she's talking about some incredibly serious stuff..Anyway power to her. Love & respect xx
Art of the State I don’t think he was hitting on her at all but the questions he asked made him come across as ignorant...he clearly didn’t do research on the disorder before doing the interview

So happy you did this! I have Bipolar 1 and it makes me happy to see people contribute to the conversation around it when there's so much stigma.
You’ll never walk alone!
I have bipolar 1 also
I’ve recently had some severe bouts with anxiety, stress and depression. I was having some physical manifestations caused by these problems which caused me to rush to the ER some 7 times in the past 7 months. This would also include dozens of doctors visits. All my ER visits resulted in the doctors saying I was physically fine. Not until my doctor recommended seeing a therapist did I start to feel so much better! Long story short sometimes men don’t seek the help they need because of the fear of being perceived as weak or less than a man. I definitely fell into that category. I’m so glad I sought help. I’m currently on medication and working through my issues. I definitely feel better. This is a great video for people to see. Thank you both so much.
Being manic can be amazing. For me, the few times I was manic, my processing power increased tremendously.
More chatting with mental disorders! People seriously misunderstand things like OCD, ADHD, and depression, and they don't realize how impactful they are. You can use your platform to help inform the public. I have Tourette's Syndrome and ADHD and first-hand can tell how misinformed people are, and I would love to change that

*”it only costs 65$ per week” this is a scam! Over 250$ a month without actually seeing a therapist! Do not fall for this people!!!*
yes...maybe it was just my experience, but my therapist never actually had time to speak to me? And I thought the whole idea was to message the moment you need help, or at least day-of...but you have to schedule an appointment. Usually days to a week ahead of time.
And I'm not saying these people should be available on demand, I'm saying thats what it's advertised as. Should say $65 per session.
for my Life to be good, in her eyes, I would need to be part of an organization with a "Logo" and a "Brand" and I would need to be socially integrated and brainsocially tucked in there in a way that I die off social starvation if I leave..... then I would have to make publicity for that Brand and impose that Brand and Logo above theirs...... and then maybe .... mayyybe I'd get some respect, but in all likelihood, they would rather try to lure me out of there and pull me in theirs or let me starve at distance like they already did........

A lot of successful people had or have bipolar. They’re often able to empathize with more people because of the wide range of emotions they regularly experience, especially the severe sadness. People like Winston Churchill and Catherine Zeta Jones, along with everyday heroes (mom, dads, teachers, counselors, doctors, etc who also have the illness and still charge forward in life).

I was diagnosed a few months back with bipolar 2, and have been in the process of finding the right med. I'm actually on exactly the same medications she is on, I'm praying these are the ones that work for me.
My psychiatrist told me that many of her patients come in with the same story I presented with- you try anti depressants to treat your depression for years, and they either don't help at all or make it worse. They are misdiagnosed with depression because the hypomania doesn't feel like a problem- when you have been feeling so low for so long, hypomania just feels like not being depressed for a while.

I really could relate to some of the manic episodes she was having. It's nice seeing people talk about some dark topics in such a nice and enlightening video.
What a beautiful, brave, and strong woman. As a man with a disability and severe panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD, and depression, a lot of things she talked about resonated with me before talking with a doctor and finding the right combination of medication and counseling, which is an ongoing process (finally seem to have found the correct med combination for me, but I still have more counseling sessions I need to go through)...but I am certainly grateful to be where I am today. I am also very thankful and grateful for people like her that are willing to speak up because its 2018, and people need to realize that these things are medical issues in the same way physical or other illnesses and diseases manifest. For some reason, when it has anything to do with mood, anxiety, depression, or anything to do with your brain, a sizeable number of people tend to shrug it off and think you can just "get over it." You can't just immediately "get over" the flu or "get over" a broken bone, and these things are just as real and serious as ailments of the mind.
