I've had many people ask about my life struggles, background, relationships, and some things I've said on Polar Warriors. It's very rare that I'll go "off topic" and discuss something outside of Mental Health on my channel, but I think it's good for those who support what I'm doing to know a little more about me.
Today I'm going to talk a little about the start of this Bipolar support channel, additional struggles I have with my health, some of my relationship history, and a few notable things I've done with my life. I hope this helps address some of the questions people ask, and provide some insight into what "makes me - me!"
If this is your first time visiting our channel, welcome to "the Polar Warrior club!" We are completely dedicated to helping individuals, families, and friends who struggle with, or know someone living with Bipolar Disorder. Our goal is to provide actual tools, tips, and discuss topics that can potentially help “Polar Warriors” grow to live a more balanced, peaceful, and fulfilling life. We truly hope these videos inspire & educate those interested in knowing more about this serious mental illness. PLEASE remember to subscribe so you don't miss a video that could impact your life in a profound way!

-Rob Whittaker, Polar Warriors: Bipolar Support
Thank you for sharing. It showed a sense of vulnerability that we don't see on RUclips often.
Hølli Eiríksdóttir that's so true
Thank you I never thought about it like that ! I'm just willing to learn everything I can about a lot of different things but especially about skin care makeup mental health I'm actually really excited to start watching you and the other ladies ❤️ thanks to genie
I am the mom of a newly diagnosed 9 year old boy. I have to say that I am in tears watching your videos. This channel is calming my fears by giving me information that is grounded and real and personal. Thank you for this channel. It has become in instant lifeline.
Polar Warrior-What a rich, full life you have! Thank you for producing these videos. There is still such a stigma about mental illness in America. We are not our illnesses, but rather our illnesses are just a small part of who we are. Keep spreading the word that we are so much more than our illness!
I always say that “I am” not bipolar; “I have” bipolar disorder.
I just recently discovered your channel and I find it very helpful. Keep up the good work 👍.
Please please do not stop making these videos. I am so sick with bipolar type two and I’m just not getting the right help and I can’t find the right help. Listening to your videos helps me feel like I’m not alone in this. I don’t know how long I could take this
@@lindamastropietro3469i feel the same
@@lindamastropietro3469 You need the right anti depressant along with a mood stabilizer, and make sure you don't have a comorbid condition like ADD. You have to treat both conditions not just the bipolar. Sometimes you have to have the ability to diagnose yourself and research the treatment and have a doctor willing to listen to you.
Thank you for sharing..I love seeing how wonderful you have dealt with this situation not everyone can get far..many blessings.
truth.
You are a trooper! And thank you for another fantastic talk. Was good to hear a little more about you 😀.. I also have two awesome cats.. 😊.
I have been classified as bi polar but have only had two. Episodes of mania Right now have been depressed for over a year. Am on antidepressant s and anxiety meds
I don't have bipolar disorder but I stumbled upon your channel and enjoy watching you speak so authentically and passionately. Thank you for all you do!
You definitely have given me the tools and inspired me and helped me understand so much about bipolar.
And to see The disease as that, and not as who my partner is..
We had a bad moment, but are back on track...and moving forward , I always look forward to the next video of yours..
I definitely loved you sharing your life.. because you live with this as we do..a very brave thing to open up and letting us all know your personal journey..
THANKS. ROB ****
I can’t wait for my bipolar 26 yr old daughter to get where you are at. She’s finally accepting her diagnosis and taking her meds plus seeing a therapist. I’m the one educating myself to be able to understand it but I can’t wait until she manages it fully herself. She was hospitalized three times the last hospitalization was two weeks ago. She overdosed on her meds which open my eyes and her eyes. I’m a nurse so I’m researching everything there is to know about bipolar since I’m an ICU nurse. Thank you for all you do
Love your channel and yes I agree about not defining yourself by the label “I am” That almost limits your subconscious capacity to manage your illness and not feel like it has control of you. I really like hearing your stories - they rang true with me! Keep up the good work 🤗🙏
Hello. I've viewed a significant amount of content here on youTube. I want to encourage you by telling you that all I've viewed of yours is quite exceptional. Very well articulated, accurate, and extremely good insights for not only those with BP, but especially for those who have a friend or loved one who contends with the illness. Thank you for your authenticity and courage. You are providing a valuable service. Do not grow weary in well doing!
Wow thank you so much for saying that! I’m so glad you found my channel and you are very welcome here. Stop by anytime 😊👍
Polar Warriors
Absolutely!
Very happy to hear identity the caveat distinguishing between "having" vs. "being" bipolar! Such a vital truth that our identity is not determined by that with which what we content!
thank you so much for being so transparent ..i appreciate your candor.hugs&kisses
I love the amount of positive energy, understanding, and hope I get from you ...Somehow most of my post was lost..I have chronic fatigue, along with fibromyalgia..When you add biopolar into the mix...things get complicated..I have up days where I take advantage. . I have some nerve damage in my arms and hands.. ..I pay for those days when I get things done...I was suffering on about day 2, low mood and pain...Someone asked why this happened...I explained I over did it and they wanted to know what I done ..It was grocery shopping, laundry, driving, and various other things? They looked at me and said...Those things cause you to suffer? It was a cold response and there was no validation....I know my pain is real ...You are brave to come forward with a
such a personal story. I am grateful. I appreciate you beyond words.
Lori Huber thank you so much for the kind words! 😊
Sometimes I wonder why I wasn't diagnosed with Bi-Polar 1 disorder until I had a breakdown when I turned 64 years old. I wonder why no one in my family noticed that I suffered from low self esteem and depression when I was very young. I look back at "my path." I am blessed with a wonderful son,devoted daughter-in law ,and a dear grandson . I've also found a good therapist and a course of medications that keep me stable. I count my blessings..I appreciate your show Thank you Robert from Eve G.
Great job. It takes a BIG pair to lay it all out on the table for the world to see. Your strength helps others to be strong. Keep it up
Jeromey Cole ain't that the truth
Thank you for sharing. This helps us get to know you on a personal level. I, like you, am also 38. And I also rarely ever feel great. I usually always wake up with a headache or some kind of physical pain. I have scoliosis and sciatica so I also have alot of back pain. I thank you for putting your time and attention into your channel when you're able to.
Robert, what jumped out is your VOICE: specifically your enunciation and intonation in the context of such intense subject matter and disclosure. I feel this video gives a lot of clues to how you developed such well-honed vocal delivery with so much to say from your own life experience, research, and ongoing discovery. I also viewed the entirely of "HOW IT'S MADE Bipolar Disorder Videos From Polar Warriors!" and realize the writing/scripting and gear investment are all contributing to the overall quality of the "final" result.
How I discovered your channel: I have been doing intuitively guided surveying of RUclips channels that discuss mental health and illness in the most deep and succinct ways so that I can assemble collective wisdom in a free-form collage format that I can add and subtract from as this pool of amazing statements grows and evolves. So imagine what you could do as well with your own video archives, combining your statements and perhaps overlaying further fresh commentary and sounds with your music-making talents.
Please leave a reply to this if you want to follow my experimenting with video channel audio. I was working with a couple of other good channels, but the speakers volume levels and enunciation was all over the place, rendering a lot of it useless, and a pain to navigate for good parts to collage. I was going to struggle on with tedious sifting through flawed audio, but now that you have given us such clear audio, I want to spare myself the agony of working with other channel material when I could be working with your audio instead. I don't plan to hi-jack your effort and repost it, rather my effort is self-therapeutic and self-explorative, and toward optimum-survival and educational value within my apartment building environment.
My intended audience for this work is first of all me for recurring review and musing further into these topics. But there is this other urgency to my endeavors. Namely, I am in a long term apartment living situation with people that avoid learning about the things you talk about, and in my ongoing frustration, I am preparing 5-15-minute collages to broadcast from my apartment door when the "zoo atmosphere" ratchets up, and I want something educational to play over the numbing din. I noticed that so far it is working and the no-sense noise and b.s. will subside for a while after I "broadcast" some of my collages. I am even doing such experiments as overlaying two or more message tracks so words from different tracks serendipitously stand out from the rest, and cause the listener to listen more closely to suss out what the messages are about, kind of like a word or phrase "treasure hunt" instead of being totally linear in a didactic way.
I encourage you to play around with your existing material just to "spell yourself" from the very commendable straightforward teaching regimen you have committed to. We all can use "re-creative pauses". You obviously have a playful side that you may be able to refresh yourself in before you segue right back into your more serious video topic output, especially when you are having some rough spots, and are dreading the hard work and intense focus that is required to keep growing your video archive. Some of your own archive audio collages could be added into future video as intros, outros, or intermissions. Or you could chop-suey bits of each new video soundtrack into audio spice sprinkled into each video, perhaps under a still image or something, in keeping with the video topic. Or maybe as a sectional reprise or review.
You have such great plans for growing your career, yet you should be commended for dropping such highly useful building blocks for careers and creations still not even conceived by fellow RUclipsrs. Your videos merit lots of additional archiving so that your dedication and hard work can be built on by others that come after you-even future you's.
I want to immediately thank you for making my wisdom treasure hunting that much more enjoyable and rewarding. I feel that skillful audio-collaging presented well can be transformative in improving one's own housing or other interpersonal environment, and might be something others in an otherwise intractable living situation might try in order to move the vibrational needle upward where they live. I believe that others (including neighbors) might more easily open up to carefully prepared audio messaging than they would ever accept or absorb face to face. This approach is both direct and oblique, and might help finesse or ease us through situations we might otherwise just shut ourselves off from-or judge as hopelessly toxic and dysfunctional.

Thank you for your videos. I have recommended you to my occupational therapists, I am here in scotland UK. I so agree with you, I've been there too.
Natalie Kelly
So many more people need to know about his channel 😂
Great to hear you sharing it 😊
Good to hear about your life. Thank you for sharing. I like how regardless of any health problems you press ahead and always have done, as your life history shows. You keep on track by being authentic and that is so good. Quite an inspiring story, to be honest. Well done :)
Your a great person Robert and are helping someone like me a lot, I was diagnosed with BP type 2 back in 2009 and it is a horrible illness. I wish there was a cure but since that is not possible right now I wish for people to understand or at least try, it seems like at least many people around me make no effort and think that because I appear physically fit I am perfectly healthy but inside I feel like I am trapped in a nightmare sometimes (like now). Sometimes I listen to the videos on the channel and others while I work as a sort of therapy session as my insurance changed an I can only go to therapy no 2x per month and that is dependent upon availability of my therapist. What I am struggling with is how do you get family and friends to understand that mental illness is as real as a physical illness, many of the people close to me seem to act like this is less serious than the sniffles. Any advice is appreciated
I have a great video that talks about “what does bipolar disorder feel like.” That might be a good one for them to watch, but if they are in denial personally, there’s not a whole lot that can be done. Many people struggle with that same frustration and I will try to work on a video that addresses that in the future :-)
Wow I've been so waiting for this video! I'm so happy you share your story
It's truly amazing how many diverse interests persons with bipolar can have and how much we actually accomplish!
I also have other health issues besides bipolar...Crohns, diabetes, major migraines and recently an amputation of my left leg..as if bipolar isn't enough to deal with!
Everyday is a struggle with any of these conditions, but my biggest issue is depressive anxiety.
Love your research and talks on bipolar and I thank you for it all.
You are a wonderful Rob. I was a teacher. I am a Christian. My faith sustains me when I am feeling all alone. I love to talk to people. You talk to me through your videos. I feel like I have had a conversation with you. So glad that you have a wonderful partner and wow. You are doing so much.
You're welcome 😊 Rob is available on patreon. You can message him, text or even have a call with him there. He's doing free support calls for patreons this holiday season. Take gentle care.

Just wanted to say I really love this channel. I’m recently diagnosed and you’ve honestly been a helping hand in a lot of situations I’ve been going through. Thanks :)
Your humbleness is a true attribute
Very True,
Thank you for sharing. It’s nice to hear what other people who have Bipolar do with their lives
Thank you for sharing your life. This is my favorite channel. Your info and insight are priceless!
Trey, I really enjoyed learning more about you. Thank you so much for this channel.
I have now watched quite a few of your videos and first and foremost just: THANK YOU. You are doing the world a big service with this channel! I don’t have bipolar disorder myself, but have experienced it up close and very personal with someone close to me. When you explain and give advice about this illness I understand so much more now. Pls keep it up. It is much needed. I wish everyone strugling with this disorder the same managing skills that we see in you. A good life IS possible in spite of it.
Without my partner i wouldn't be here. She's my rock and helps me cope with my illness.
What an incredible journey you are on. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you all the best for the future.
You’re amazing. Thank you for educating others and sharing your stories. You’re an inspiration
Trey,
Thank you for making your channel so informative and personal. Thank you for being open about your life with us. Your videos are helping me discover more about my condition. I’m not “formally” diagnosed with anything except anxiety disorder. Definitely some depression as of lately....
Rob hearing of your life's struggles, yet not allowing those struggles deter you from your goal to help others is amazing. I have a 25 year old son who is bi-polar and unfortunately he is defeated by it and his other health issues. I recently told him about you and your channel hoping that he too can cope with and hopefully manage his disorder as you have.
Thank you SO MUCH for everything you share! Your genuine spirit comes through and your work here is SO IMPORTANT! My father suffers from bipolar disorder and he is 72, also he still isn't fully accepting of it. I've been going through a manic episode with him as he lives across the country from me and it's been so difficult and painful and your videos have given me SO MUCH STRENGTH and understanding💜thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!
Great video. Very open and honest. You are truly a warrior.
Thanks I honestly appreciate your story I have a better understanding of why you started this journey it has helped me greatly again I can't thank you enough for what your sharing in this channel please continue to do so be blessed
Enjoyed getting to know you. You're are certainly a warrior for your perserverance! Congrats on all your accomplishments. Thanks again for sharing.
Thank you Rob. I’m checking out the link. I’m hoping someday you will do a video on bipolar and psychosomatic illness. It’s hard when I am unwell to know if I am really sick or if it’s related to my bipolar stress ❤️. I share your videos often and post my own experiences occasionally too. Ppl who are educated can help us, rather than to judge us. And your videos really have helped me to sort out some stuff. Keep up the good work. You are so appreciated!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing! I have learned a lot from your channel! Information is very comforting to me.
You're so amazing! The only thing that has been able to cary me through the last few months of living with someone recently "self-diagnosed" with Bipolar Disorder, has been you and your channel. I can't thank you enough for sharing your experiences. I'm effectively learning how to direct a positive future with my love, with a little of your help, because I'm not ready to give up.
Dear Rob, Bless you for sharing and giving us hope 🙏 You are a very accomplished person despite the challenges you've had.. and those you'll no doubt continue to face and work through in the future. All best wishes to you and your loved ones from Australia ❤
Thanks for sharing. I have my diagnostic in May, 2018 and since them I've been looking for tools and people to help me understand this situation, my past and how to look forward and you are being the most important support ever. Thank you for teaching me about our condition and about how to become a warrior.
Another solid video Robert!You always are so caring,it helps me so much!!!!I've been dealing with rapid bipolar depression since I was diagnosed at 24,years localhost 23 years ago!!!!Thank God for medication,and the love of my dear ,Mother!!!!She's very supportive of me!!!!!
I respect you so much for being honest and doing this channel

Thank you for your effort on your channel, has helped me a lot and it still helping me on my bipolar road :) . Lately I've been showing an translating some of the videos for my Chinese friends to help them or help them to understand.

Thank you so much! I wish the same for you as well!
I love your channel so much! It has helped me understand so many things that have happened in my marriage as a result of my husband’s diagnosis. I always felt like some of the things he did were because he didn’t care. Now I understand that all of our misfortunes were neither of our faults.
Thank u. I deal with this all alone. No family,friends or support unit. These videos get me through the day. God bless u.
Thanks for sharing and YES you are helping me sooooo much I couldn’t describe in words. It’s been 3 weeks I’ve been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder hipo bla bla and and more. It’s been a nightmare and my man has no understanding and
have zero respect/empathy for me. Since I found you here it has been soft, smooth and less horrifying ride. You are awesome. Keep up the good work. Warm hug from Sweden 🇸🇪
You are a warrior! I am just learning about my bipolar diagnosis and found your channel. You are truly a God send and have saved my life once. Thank you for taking your time to help others.
I hope this channel becomes much bigger. I became a Patron yesterday and I have gained so much knowledge from your insights and the information you share with us. Bipolar does not come with a manual but I think your channel is the closest thing to one. I have so much to catch up with the Patreon side of Polar Warriors Yay!
Thank you so much for this channel, you are a great educator and make me feel less anxious about being a bipolar 1,the only friend I can confide in that has not abandoned me when I am at my worst is my husband. He has bipolar disorder as well.We help each other out when things go pear shaped. Please know that I am so happy you are doing this! Please keep on keeping on. It makes me feel better knowing That many of us deal with this in silence,you shine a bright light on both the negatives and positives and for that I am grateful . Blessings!
Thank you so much for these videos. They have really made a difference in my life. I can't tell you how much you've helped me. Thank you.
Poukeybear Poukeybear i’m so glad! Thank you so much for the kind words. The whole reason why I do this is to make a difference in peoples lives, so your comment means a lot to me :-)

Wow dude, you got this. Thanks for the share. Good luck with all your challenges.
I can relate to your story so much. I went through several career changes myself including a sting in journalism. I was a news reporter and a TV producer for a while. Talk about stressful! I love your channel and am glad you made this video taking a peak into your life. Thank you for all you do.
I'm so appreciative of the time you donate to the rest of us. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing your story with us! I enjoyed it! You've accomplished a lot!
Thank you so much for sharing who you are, it's a pleasure to know more about a person that truly helps those of us with bipolar.

Thank you so much! I will have a new video out on Monday that will be the first of a two part series.… It should be pretty good! Hope you have a great weekend :-)
Thank you so very much, I had been diagnosed with Bipolar 3 years now, it's been difficult to find myself again but slowly but surely I'm learning in finding out who I am with the help of your channel. Thank you for helping me in answering my thoughts. 🤗🤗
I really REALLY enjoyed this one. Thank you so much. I would like to see a video about manic rage and anger. Maybe you've planned on talking about this? I'd really love to hear more about this. I don't hear a lot of people talking about the rage in bipolar. I'd really make me happy.
Have a nice rest of the day
Laurence Schon thank you so much for the suggestion. I think I have that on my list but I will make sure to email myself a reminder right now. That would be a fantastic topic to address. I hope you’re doing well this week my friend and thank you for all the comments! I appreciate the support so much 😊
I second your suggestion!
You do more things than i ever did, different era so to speak, younger to boot. 72 yrs.
Thank you for sharing. You are an inspiration and i find your channel extremely useful and enjoyable. Keep going x
Hey Robert - another great video ! Man you have had a full life! Thanks for sharing your story. You have knack for communicating in a clear and accessible way. You have really been a blessing in many ways. Keep on keeping on- the world needs more people like you !
Take care
Vince
I appreciate that Vince, thank you so much for your kind words and for watching the channel! 🙏
Thank you for letting us in.
Thank you for your storey. Inspiring x
I have became addicted to your videos after running across one of your videos. You are both educational but the biggest thing for me is that you can sum up so nicely what I try to explain to people for years what being bipolar is all about. I hope to get my husband to watch them. Also I have bipolar type 1 ultra rapid cycling who has issues with autoimmune type problems along with major discs issues so I can relate so much to your own story.
I’m so happy for you and appreciate your videos
Robert thank you for sharing your story with us. You're a very likable guy a clearly have the heart of a teacher. I've learned a lot watching your videos and am coming to terms with my illness as well. Keep well and be encouraged!
Getting to share your history to an audience that you are aware shares the same heightened level of empathy, must've been both uncertain AND exciting. Kudos to you sir! *like*
Thank you for your videos and for sharing about yourself. I look forward to seeing more. And I hope you do get to write a book someday. Your insights are helpful and important. ❤️
kimmie dirette I am so glad the videos are helping. You are most welcome here and I hope you will continue to stop back by. If you would like the opportunity to support what I’m doing, I will include a new link to my Patreon page below. No expectations at all… Just watching my videos means the world to me :-)

WoW I’m impressed. You seem well adjusted to the illness. You’re a model for me. Thanks 🙏
Bipolar with a black belt.. look out!! Lol! You’ve had full and productive life! Thanks for sharing.. I loved it! :)
LOL. Eventually I will share some stories about that. Definitely not the best combination to have with psychosis LOL🤪😊
I’d like to hear those stories for sure! I’m curious to hear how your training helped with moments of being triggered. I know I get rather irrational and angry when triggered. My way of handling it is to walk away and be alone until I calm myself down. Again, looking forward to more stories about you! Take care! :)
You are so well-spoken and kind!
What you are saying makes so much sense and shows great intelligence! I will support you 100%
Thank you so much!
You are a cool guy. Thanks for everything you do
Thank you Soo much for all of your videos. I have recently been in a serious battle with bipolar. I just found out that I was bipolar and I can't thank you enough for all of your help! Love you man...
Thank you so much for this video and letting us all into your life... :-) this is Bobby.
Shahid Naqshbandi THANK YOU BROTHER!!! It was so amazing to finally be able to see you again. Many blessings and I hope you have a wonderful week!
Great video. New sub here and enjoying your content. I'm glad that u chose to be open and honest. I've been living with diagnosed BP for over 30 years. People who have mental health issues, brain injuries, and addiction have been the ones who have helped me the most when it comes to strategies and coping skills. So thanks again for sharing your experiences and info. When I first got my diagnosis I was so relieved. Finally, there was an explanation, course of action, and prognosis. Of course it's more fluid than that but, still there is more and more helpful info all the time. I'm still hopeful and expecting a cure.
I wish you the best! You helped and still help thousands ☺️
Thank you! You too!
Robert,we thank GOD for you, and the very well thought out and informative videos that you put out. My wife and I have watched other videos about BP and have not found them as helpful as the ones from you. We pray that you and the others who watch your informative videos will be well. Take care and GOD be with you all.
Thank you so much! 😊🙏
love you saying you ask 'who am i?' all the time. reminds of the lennon song 'look at me' where he asks that question over & over again (it's off the Imagine album, which has some great songs about introspection.) thx for adding a channel which is mind-probing & involves introspection . . .
I really appreciate your honesty and knowledge. I hope to be able to enlighten people too, so you are an inspiration.
I appreciate that!
Thank you. I follow everything you post. You have been so educational & helpful to not only me but my family too. Without your wonderful channel, no one would understand my condition.
Thank you sir 👏
Wow! Thank you for your kind words! Creating this channel and seeing this community grow has been an amazing experience for me. This is more than I could have ever asked for. 🙏🌞

You are actually helpful and I thank you. My name is Braydyn Lents, good for you to know. Thanks for the awesome videos, and for helping other out with Bipolar disorder like me.
Awesome bio! Thanks for posting.
You are definitely an excellent teacher of bipolar. Thank you so much for your Channel.
Thanks for introducing yourself, you definitely had a very interesting life :-) it's also good to see that bipolar didn't prevent you from doing the things you like!
Tziu Ricky thank you so much my friend! It’s always wonderful to see comments from you :-)
Thank you so much Robert. It was really incredible for you to open with all your heart about you, as a person, with all your vulnerabiliy, strenghts, interests and honesty. Indeed you are a wonderful teacher... i wish you, your partner and your 2 cats the best!

So brave you are! Thank you for your courage.
You seem to be changing my outlook towards bipolar ex wife who got separation after ten years and two boys ..now twenty years of separation...makes me feel like helping to lead a better life....
I love the thought of you righting a book. I could hopefully be a positive one. So many books are negative. NAMI often has book reviews in their newsletter. I 'm studying finance and hoping to help others with basic financial literacy. I have a lot of respect for you. I still have not grown out of the fear that I my be "blacklisted" due to this illness.
I truly appreciate your honesty about your life. I am new to your channel and currently piecing my own life together after an honest effort to establish my own business ended in failure. I have BP1 and ten years sobriety. I have been through a great deal of hardships with alcohol and isolation and self sabotaging behavior in my life. It has been truly an uphill battle the last few months but I am still willing to give each day a fresh look each morning. Your channel is a welcome addition to my wellness efforts. Many thanks..
