I'm a 36 year old man who has been married for 15 years. Your video reminds me of me when I was in my teens. You had another video where you confessed about your suicidal thoughts. That video almost broke me. Please don't ever stop making videos. If you don't want to do it for anyone else, then do it for me. There are people out there who relate and connect with you. Thanks you. I also watched your religion videos and they are good too, even though I respectfully disagree with you.
I never bought into religion either, but to each their own
I was hospitalized again and I got diagnosed with bipolar type one with psychosis. It's always feels good to know I'm not the only one struggling.
Same here
How many hospıtalızatıons have you had? O hope you feel better now ?
@@HabibeBoyraz-hg2nk I never been hospitalized
Just got diagnosed with bipolar with psychosis. I've been a fuck up my whole life, but I've always been gifted in entrepreneurial things. I've had the ability to make absurd amounts of money, but I always lose it. The last time was with crypto. I traded up to about three quarters of a million dollars and seemingly lost it all over the last two years. Waiting to get into an IOP after a 9 day hospitalization due to suicidal ideation. Struggling to say the least.
I'm at about 11.5 min in, and it's freaking me out how much of this I've experienced similarly or the same
This video helped me a lot. It felt like somebody was explaining my entire life to me. Never stop sharing your experiences and being honest.
It's amazing that you remember everything so clearly. After I started taking medication (i've been on different combos for the past decade), my memory was affected and everything is a fuzzy mess.
AchelTheGreat how are you now
I'm bipolar and I can relate to a lot of this.
Thank you so much for this! I feel so less alone or crazy cause now I know that other people feel the same ❤
Your favorite Aries so do i
I’ve been struggling because I was recently diagnosed and I have barely any friends and family who aren’t supportive and I feel misunderstood by everyone and lonely. I agree! I’m always here, as is so many others
girl, thank you. i finally know what is really wrong with me. i am a 45 year old male that goes through the exact thing you are. nobody has ever had an answer for me. i have gone to every type of therapy/doctors. i have been on every kind of medication. life with this kind of brain is fun and fail. i have known for a long time that i had bp, but i never could fully relate to it. i have watched so many videos, read many things online. and then bingo!!! you are it... thank you!!!
BENTHELL oo This makes me so incredibly happy to hear! I hate that you have to suffer with this, but there are so many positives too with the mania being so creative and spiritual.. so it is so important for you to know that all of this is coming from bipolar. I hope this can help your treatment be more specific!! I have made soooo many more videos about bipolar, the video playlist is in the description!
I was diagnosed when I was 19 y/o and so much of this is resonating with me. Thank you for sharing your story. It feels nice to know that I’m not alone ❣️
I love your videos. I'm happy you managed to get help and you are aware of the things you need to do in order to be healthy and happy. I've been watching you since you were in high school, so it was interesting to connect what I remember from your videos all these years to how you felt in your outside life.
♥♥♥
Listening to you while I work is oddly reassuring. You seem like a kind and intelligent person. Thanks for sharing!
So I actually was run over by a car blacked out walking in psychosis, I have permanent damage to my body because of it but basically the car came from behind and flattened me, it's truly a miracle I survived, like beyond I had a lacerated spleen about to burst which if it does you will die of internal bleeding but I thought all the nurses and doctors were actors so I refused treatment. I was in ICU for 4 days and somehow survived but I have long lasting effects from this emotional and physical. I'm so glad you do this channel. I hope you are still doing well with bipolar disorder. I also vlog about it but I don't have a blog. It's so triggering to do the videos and your one video about 10 things no one tells you about bipolar. I was like "she said trigger warning, whatever I can handle this. By the end of the video I could not stop crying because I've lived with this my entire life and didn't get treatment until a 6 years ago. I feel unless you've been through it. it's impossible to truly understand.
I don’t feel so alone. Thank you so much for this. Hope you are managing well these days.
I was just diagnosed with bipolar disorder just few weeks ago. I still feel bad and i still ask "why?" I hope more people will be aware with bipolar disorder and i hope we receive more support...
Sunflowers! I struggle with anorexia and anxiety. Thank you for being so open. I hope you keep making videos. I've watched you since you were in HS. Peace be with you!
Brianna Murray I love you so much!!
Brianna Murray I love you so much!!
Thanks for posting! You have inspired me to actually do a Video. I'm Bipolar 1 as of 28 years old. I had a manic episode not to long ago. I had no Idea in high school I was Bipolar. until now, thanks to you! I want too start helping others now. I have been through what you have been through as a teen. I really want to make sure someone else doesn't go thru what we went thru. But let me tell you it can get a lot worst! But we both have a way different story! Thanks for sharing yours!
I was diagnosed as bipolar at 17, which is when I had my first ever manic episode. Youre great. I love you ❤️ thanks for showing awareness to this issue in such a great way :)
Late comment
My dad has Bi Polar, Its all I can remember about him. It's dawning on me now that everything he did was not his fault and I've been going through depressing stages since and have developed severe anxiety.
I'm trying to find out how he sees things and how he generally feels so I can help and get through it. You are helping with this and high school at the moment for me is getting better because I understand and I'm coping.
As of now I'm trying to fund for the bipolar and depression awareness charity so people do not have to go through what my family and more importantly my dad did.
Dear lizzie I love your videos they inspire me to do better with my life because I have bipolar disorder and this video reminds me of me when I was in high school and it's extremely hard having bipolar disorder at times but I have a wonderful support system and I just want you to know that you need to continue making videos because you most likely inspire others. 😊
OH, MY GOD. You validate me so much. Thank you for sharing. I didn't understand my 'issue' with feeling good around people you're dating, like you felt normal.
I relate WAY too much. I feel like you’re me or something, I relate to you so well... I should probably see a doctor
I'm from South Africa, and its my first time watching your videos, what you are doing is really amazing and helpful to us, keep it up❤
I have this same exact thing as you!!! I’m so glad you made this video and continue to make these it helps so much and it’s so hard to find videos that have the same thing as me!❤️ and my mom said the same thing “no you don’t have that you just think you do” but I sat down and told her I got diagnosed with it and told her how it made me feel shut down and like she didn’t want to hear it and I wanted to be heard.
Lizzie, I really love this video! The content is inspiring and insightful and the editing was beautiful! How you had the music change with the story it was so perfect. I'd love to see more of these in depth life videos in the future :) ily
p.s. orchid
Elizabeth Davies I am SOOO HAPPY you noticed & appreciated the music!! I spend so much time making sure it fits the emotional tone ❤️❤️❤️
And yayyy I'm so happy you liked the video too I love making longer length heart-to-hearts! My video for Friday is about bipolar as well, about in-depth on this one manic episode and so it is similar to this style video 😊👌
ive made a "it gets better" video over on my channel, but its important that everyone understands how precious their life is and how beautiful you ALL are. everyone is different in many ways, no two people exactly the same when it comes down to their thoughts. but life is worth living, and no matter what, it is important for people to realise that you can write your own chapter in your book, dont let other people write it! life is what YOU make of it! :) my heart breaks for you but i know you have the strength to carry on x
Your story is exactly how i have been feeling.
I have litterly been watching al your videos about bipolar and i relate to everything you say and i cant stop watching your videos, its 3 o clock at night on my side, my hyper manic took over and my heart is just going crazy and my pupils omg!
I thought i was the only one!
Thank you for making your videos
My docter put me on prozac becose i had been heavily depressed and i impulsivly stopped the treatment and right after that i went hypomanic!
I thought i had become better magically so foolish of me to think that. I stayed hypermanic most of the times but lately the depressing episodes keep coming back frequentely and i dont get hyper manic allot.
Last week until this afternoon today just had the worst week ever i was so depressed and showed some signs of schizophrenia.
Out of nowhere i slowely snapped out of it and i felt that i was getting hypermanic.
Now im hyper manic and havent slept yet. Watching your videos all night
I relate to so much of this video. Makes me feel less alone. Thank you!
Omg I can so relate to everything minus the anger but I can see the patterns and everything before being diagnosed it's just so eye opening 😫
Omg! Omg! I just got diagnosed with bipolar disorder and you seem to be telling the story of my life.
I don't know much about flowers so I don't have a favourite kind, but I love your videos and even though I don't have bipolar I do struggle with anxiety and depression (undiagnosed) so I can relate to a lot of stuff and just in general because I love psychology I always find videos about mental health very interesting, I myself am looking into finally getting helped but missed an opportunity today to get information on my school's new program, anyways, stay awesome and btw I love these longer videos!!
You are so brave!! This is so good!! God bless you!
We are such similar people. I am currently 15 and really relate to your story. I do way too much: XC, dance, CrossFit, APs, Church stuff, and surfing. The past year has been difficult with too much stress, weird sleep patterns, and manic and depress stages
I really appreciate your wisdom and advice! Thanks so much for the video!
I'm your Six hundred and sixty sixth viewer! What does that mean? Hey Lizzie I wanted to say I appreciate how you are doing you. I thought about your Tinder dating and how you are using it for the purpose it was designed for. Sorry I tried overlay my behavioral issues on you. Your'e twenty two. That's young. I'm sure you can steer yourself away from extreme forms of BP depression management. I hope. Thanks for sharing your BP history in more detail. It is encouraging to know that your own BP experience is not unique. Oh, I don't take antidepressants. I'm about to start taking Lemictal. I misspelled that. Enjoyed the video. It took me five hospitalizations to be able to catch on to my symptoms and medicate with heavy meds to make myself sleep more than three hours a night. Three weeks of sleeping three hours a night and I go hypo-manic then slide quickly into a delusional state. Thanx again for sharing Lizzie.
I also go manic when I go off my antidepressants I thought I was just weird hahaha but your videos have helped me so much within the past year or so because I've started experiencing bipolar symptoms. you find a way to describe things going on in my brain that I can't even explain, thank you for that. also my favorite flower is a sunflower:)
roses of course. color depends on the setting.
heard soo much of myself in your story. so many little nuances are the same! love it. i'm gonna try and film mine out. it's more interesting than i realized! :D xox.
I like how you use halsey music to build suspense in the middle of your video when you're telling the story about getting food.
Thank you so much for this video! I was first diagnosed with severe depression, then bpd and then bipolar 2 which was really confusing because I couldn't figure out what was happening at all because sometimes my mood swings would last an hour sometimes days sometimes 2 weeks so I didn't quite fit the criteria of either bpd or bipolar but I showed almost all of the symptoms. Everyone says your mood swings have to last for months for you to have bipolar but I was struggling and I had severe mood swings that couldn't be explained. That's why I was so scared that meds wouldn't work. I told my psychiatrist about the length of my mood swings and she put me on lamotrigine, at first I got stable I was at home on holiday and I was happy that I could finally be myself, then when I came back to college everything changed because I was used to being at home and now everything changed and I had so much work to do, I was stressed then it was awful again. But it's been a few months and after changes of dosage now I can finally say I'm recovering. Of course I have my days, but recovery isn't linear, sometimes I get very depressed, sometimes hypomanic but still it's not as often as it used to be I guess
Sounds like my myriad of diagnoses, till I started having extreme manic episodes lasting at least a week each time and some were an overly happy me, others were an aggressive hostile me, which has never been in my character. So now they are rethinking it and possibly advancing it to something more specific. It only took 20 years.
Favorite flower....funny. I got diagnosed 1 month ago. Your videos have been a blessing. I am a devoted Christian and don't blame God for my mental illness. God bless you!
Your making my whole married life & dating history make sense?! And I’m 34 thank you 🙏🏽
I connected with you when you said that your counselor told you're an empath. My counselor told me the same during a session. Funny thing is, I already knew I am empathic, he just confirmed it.
I'm with BP 2 diagnosed just 2 years ago.I can relate so much esp with how my parents' response to my actions.im both extremes...so hard to balance when unmedicated...thanks for sharing! :)
Yes I remember screaming "don't eat GMOS". I also would cry when the homeless people we helped in high school. The teachers even told my mom that I was obsessed with homeless people as it affected me so much. I also did the same thing to help me sleep, and very aware that i did it to sleep. I definitely felt SO USED many times. I don't even know why, but its good to know u did too.
I understand where you are coming from, having bipolar isn't easy. I went through number of depressive episodes before I had my big manic episode a couple of years ago. That manic phase completely changed my life, I lost my job and was stuck in the psychiatric ward for over 5 weeks. I got better, but it took several months and a lot of self reflection to come to terms with what happened to me.
That is CRAZYY and SO SO scary! How long was the manic episode? And yeahh that is my number one fear now: being put in a psych ward. How awful is it??
That manic episode was for almost 2 months which was pretty bad. Being in a psych ward isn't as bad as it's made out in the movies. The thing to always remember while you are there is that you are there for your own good, it's not a prison, you are not there to be punished, you are there so that you don't harm yourself or other people both physically or socially. I even made a good friend while I was in the psych ward . The way I look at it, a psych ward is a safe zone where you are surround by nurses and doctors who want to help you get better.
Thanks Lizzie your video helped me understand a few things about myself.
Thank you. It was a gift* hearing your perspective....I wish you well! AND I know talking about your experience will help others be well~~AS WELL!
Thank you for sharing your story!
I really really needed this. Thank you.
Wow.. just was diagnosed bipolar 2 today and I am shocked. I can’t believe I’ve been dealing with this my whole life and didn’t know. I’ve been misdiagnosed with depression, anxiety, at times thought I was adhd. I can’t wait to start on medicine and reevaluate my life and emotions and seriously tackle bipolar. It all makes sense now.
for many people anxiety is often co-morbid with bipolar so it may be the case that you have some anxiousness with the bipolar
When I was a kid I was in foster care and the last foster home was straight across from the fire station. I would cry every time I heard the sirens or if I saw an ambulance with the sirens on I would be intensely upset. I still get really upset when I hear people arguing. It is awful. Sometimes I’m way more upset than the people that we’re arguing.
Man, I feel so bad for you and your ex’s relationship....also the idea of sleeping 4 hours for 5 days and then crashing on the weekend sounds so cool without the mania and depression.
I was diagnosed with depression with intense mood swings by my doctor, who gave me escitalophram and honestly, the first month was the best I’ve felt in a long time. I normally feel elevated some weeks/months, but on lexapro, I felt like I could literally say or do ANYTHING and I’d have no drawbacks whatsoever. Someone could be crying and I wouldn’t feel a thing and I could just stand up for myself, friends, and family and do school and homework ((I take 15 college credit hours plus high school, plus dance, I’m a HOSA (health occupation students of America) officer, colorguard, Chinese school (AP Chinese), work, and student council.)) I was SOO energetic and pumped for everything and I was talking to a bunch of people and going out different places, driving my friends everywhere... but when I told my doctor how great the medications were for me, she told me to go to a crisis center and stop lexapro all together and now I’m hyper sensitive and missing my life on lexapro😂 day three off of it and I feel like doing absolutely nothing. They said I certainly have bipolar tendencies and I really hope I can fix this because I want to go to med school and become a doctor/surgeon one day!! Thank you so much for your videos. They’re so relatable and a help for me trying to figure this all out.
Honestly you have the best channel on youtube!! i CANNOT begin to explain how much your videos help me. they are so good. i wish i had a friend like you, it would help me so much. keep making these videos as they are so helpful. i really relate to a lot of things you say and experience xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
roses are my fav flower btw xxx
AHHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
You just made me SOOO HAPPY! 💗💕
I would be friends with you and we would hang out all the time if we lived in the same city!!
im so glad i made you happy, had one of the hardest nights of my life yesterday and the fact that i made someone else smile means the world to me!! such a shame were so far apart!! keep positive and keep smiling always your a lovely girl xxxxx
I didn't trust my parents. I trusted my middle school teacher. I asked if it was normal to be sad for no reason. I would despair and no reason could explain it....
college:
****omg I get that intensity****
University blew for me.
I had no confidence in my ability after a couple tries...
Overload is our stock in trade!!!
The florality of mania is amazing...
You're right about Thailand. Don't doubt it.
Why are so many other people hyper religious???
and the alarm thing happened with me too. Sometimes i would sleep so heavily that the siren alarm at full volume couldn't even wake me up but then other times the slightest noise would wake me up and i would instantly spring up and start doing stuff
I was just diagnosed as bi polar after being put on zoloft for "postpartum depression" Wich put me into a full blown manic episode. At that point there was a lot more questions being asked and iv been on a mental roller coaster this last week. But watching this is really opening my eyes. My journey is starting now thanks for making me feel less crazy.
Orphic lil'FoXx Did you become manic after taking Zoloft or were you always bipolar?
I have been manic prior to taking Zoloft, it just triggered it.
Orphic lil'FoXx Thanks for the response!
That’s how I got bipolar Zoloft triggered my manic phase and then depressive and it’s on going
within 20 secs i knew i love your vids.
nice to find other people with the same disorder. thanks for sharing :)
Peonies. :) Thank you for your videos. I think I'm bipolar, my mum is and I didn't have severe mania, but I can see some hypomanic episodes in last one or two years and also really bad depression episodes. I feel very unstable for about 2 or 3 months now, I have terrible sleep patterns for a long time, vivid dreams, etc. I can relate to so many things you've said. I'm going to a psychiatrist next month, to find out if it's major depression or bipolar disorder, but I believe it's bipolar. Because nothing else make sense. Thanks again, your videos helped me a lot. I tought I was crazy and alone, that no one can be like this.
Just be ready for possible initial misdiagnoses one way or other. They often do that. Either they don't have conclusive enough facts and events so they wait till you have a built up history or they draw conclusions too fast and make an indecisive diagnosis based on what little they know about you. Either way most don't get it right, right off the bat. Just trying to prepare you with possible dissappointment or relief depending on which way you go.
Clamatis - and thanks for sharing :) It was very informative :)
We should talk I got diagnosed at the age of 30 your story is so similar to mine but so different and you got diagnosed so much earlier I feel like I lost so much of my life because of the mania
Thank you for this ❤ I relate a lot. I've suspected I also have cyclothymia for the past few years but doctors and psychiatrists have always just said it's depression or emotional dysregulation. Recently I had to go to hospital with a full on mania triggered by a few things including an antidepressant. But they still don't think I'm bi polar?! I'm an empath too and at the hospital there were so many sick and sad people and I felt like I could feel their pain. Ps. Favourite is sunflower 🌻
I was kind hypomanic in my first semester of college also. My personality was just brand new, I was another person. Then I went into depression in the second semester. Dropped college eventually. I miss that first semester... Now I just get dysphoric mixed hypomania but back then I felt so great... I wish that was my real personality. I talked so easily with people and now I run away in social anxiety. I'm sorry I'm commenting in all of yours vids, it's just my hypomanic mind plus my depressive thoughts caused by my psychiatrist, who diagnosed me with type II and forgot to tell me! Months of me invalidating my symptoms and she just kept the diagnosis to herself. I had to figure it out when I moved to another country and she sent a medical document for me to use here (idk what it's called, I'm not too good in english).
When you go off your anti depressant (I'm currently taking Prozac and have been for two years) and you get manic afterwards, I experience the same thing! I hit this euphoria of a high for a while after I stop taking it and then will completely crash after it. I've never met anyone who has experienced the same thing!
Faith Toutant This is soooo comforting to know that it is not just me!! And other people are commenting the same thing too 👌👌👌
great videos keep up the great work
thank youuu! 😊😊😊
Soooo helpful. Thank you for sharing.
Can someone explain to me what mainiac feels like i like to learn more about Bipolar i have OCD and i whant people to recognize how serious its is but i also whant to understand other peoples mental illness incase i ever run into someone whit it
Your videos are really interesting. It's obvious you are really intelligent and thoughtful. I enjoy your honesty and self expression. I went to a psychiatrist once and he had me try Lamictal. It sounds like you are impulsive. I know I am. I felt better. I wanted to go back to him because he really seemed to be a great psychiatrist but he retired after that month. It is confusing to me because I know I have kind of a chronic depression but I never have anything like the manic episodes that you describe. So I don't know why he prescribed Lamictal for me. I think it's a mood elevator so I think he was trying to help me with that because my body won't tolerate any antidepressants. They literally make me physically ill. I wish there was a support group around here because I'd like to talk to other people with diagnoses. I can't afford to go to therapy. I just don't know what my deal is. My family is totally intolerant with me. They don't get depression. They think I'm just a person with a bad disposition. Your videos help me understand mental illness. Good job on this one. Thanks
Your video is saving my second year at University ❤️😂
Hello: I started taking vraylar about ten days ago. I’m having a few side effects and wondered if these side effects will go away. First, my hands have some tremors, I also noticed I forget things like short term memory loss. Also, I’ve been having extreme dizziness that bring on anxiety/panic attacks. What do you think of this. I don’t want to take my clonazepam, but what could I do in the moment. I also ( which I’ve never had mania, just drug induced) lose time. If I fall asleep, when I wake up I think it’s the next day, maybe that part is the Elavil I take.
I didn't do well on antidepresants & it seemed as if my body acclimated too quickly to the medication for it to help maintain a baseline mood (I kept upping it every month or so, but after 4 months, you cant go up any more without severe side effects). I always felt like my mood accelerated into extreme mania over a period of months and then I would stop taking my medication all together. Something that has worked phenomenally for me is a mood stablizer (a new extended release version of Trileptol) and seroquel. I've never felt so stable for so long...
It interests me how drastically different medications can affect people.
My favorite flour is the kind used to make cakes, pastries, bread, and pasta! ;)
HAHA ME TOO
What is your favorite thing to bake?!?!
yeah some days im so quiet and people talk about how quiet im being then other times i talk so fast that people tell me to slow down and that they cant understand me
Thank you for playing Leave Out All the Rest by Linkin Park. I used to listen to that band. I have to admit, I don't know of how it feels to have Bipolar, and I am really ignorant about this subject. Remember Liz, God's grace is sufficient for you. 2nd Corinthians 12:9. I hope you are having a good night. Take care. 🙏🏾
AVJR I'm SO glad we are in solidarity about good music!! Knowing you watched this means so much, because you do understand some of it because you're listening and you're open 😊 Thank you for supporting me so much!!
On drinking alcohol before sleep, it's actually a myth that it helps you sleep... I struggle with depression and I had to cut back on drinking because it negated the effects of my Prozac. But non-alcoholic beer is actually very, very good for sleep because of the hops, which is not negated by the alcohol like "real beer."
I definitely relate. My Bipolar got worse during my first year of college.
Think i am bipolar i have all the feelings and symptoms
My question it’s so seriously please I want good answer I have bipolar i am taking medicine from long time ago so did you think it’s effect for my sperm cause I want married my gf thank you
Ok. Timeout. I'm at min 9:18. I'm full on balling. I'm crying pretty hard for someone my age. You are wise beyond words. Be strong. Its a battle I know. Let your light shine.
BTW - can't watch anymore for now. It hits home way too hard. Feels exactly like my life/emotions/energy. Thank you for posting!
oh my god its amazing how similar my ADHD + depression symptoms are to your bipolar symptoms. no wonder why i was treated for bipolar for so long 😅 also my favorite flower is definitely cannabis... no shame
GreatestSociety Wrong thing to do. Cannabis can unknowingly trigger worst side effects.
It all depends on the strain of cannabis. Some help, some make it worse
I get it. When I was a teenager, I would be up all night and able to function (my longest consecutive days being up is 3 days straight) and would be hyper as hell, or see things and hear things for at least 4 to 5 days. And the vivid dreams.... But the kicker is, then deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep depression sets in for 2 weeks plus where I would sleep 15+ hours (like yesterday) and would never want to go to school, or get out of bed. I'm bipolar 2 (the more depressive type of bipolar) and it can be very destructive when you're in a depression episode. And I completely understand the anger. You'll get angry over absolutely nothing and just blow up on people, and you feel like you're justified doing so.
If your up for 3 days, whether you have a mental illness or not your going to hallucinate, you may have anxiety disorder or just simple insomnia
I was diagnosed with deep depression until i was manic for 5 days then depressed for 2 months.
your final words in this vid: "even if i'm medicated, certain parts are going to be part of me bc I'm BP." So, would you say running into those fields to cry was a manic episode? Its just fascinating and want to understand exactly how much meds "control" of this disorder--- def a spiritual element to it too! hoping you make a vid explaining spirituality while having BP.
I developed the irregular sleep pattern in my early twenties like a year out of high school. Well that's when it slowly started.
i'm not diagnosed bp but i have felt manic going off my antidepressants. i'm watching this because i suspect i might be. i take venlafaxine/effexor and also adhd was diagnosed
i feel like i have been invalidated lots by medical specialists
Only meds that ever helped with Bipolar (specifically) for me was Zyprexa (Olanzapine) and Cymbalta. The longest they lasted was 6-8 months initally and not as long the next time. I was told I was treatment resistant after going through 15-20 different combinations. So I feel like a human guinee pig at the moment.
Thanks for sharing your story
Thank you. Thank you for sharing.
great video i love it
💛💛
Hello Liz ! I am very curious if you gain any money from RUclips. I am at the beginning and wanna know. Thank you!
I was in a hypomanic. I was feeling really energized invincible. I also wanted to spend a ton of money. I also couldn’t sleep. I got 2-3 hours of sleep
You have to know that you help me so much.
Thank you
Im newly diagnosed BiPolar 1. My fav flower is the Stargazer Lily.
Were you a policy debater? I feel like speed reading while manic would be super intense. Thanks for your videos!
I had blood tests. I still get blood tests. I have a Depakote levels due the next time I get closipine levels. I've heard that about Bipolar and shopping.
Thank You Thank you for your videos.. I'm a Single 35 Year old that was born with permanent brain damage due to Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, I'm diagnosed Bi polar /anxiety disorder.. I feel alot of our stuff is kinda similar, I've been told I'm jittery like on alot of coffee, Lol, the second dinners are on point. I was on Gedon which made me catatonic. I'm now on Lamictal every morning, I'm getting better everyday.:) I think it's very detrimental that Bi Polar's are closer to Jesus.. I'd like to thank you again for your encouragement.
I meant extremely important for closeness to Jesus..;) Lol
I never bought into the religious aspect, but I'm glad you found something that works
I'm was just diagnosed with Bipolar 2. So I can relate to abnormal sleep patterns.
You are one of the lucky ones. It seems u have a good life and good family. The few years before I was diagnosed it was chaotic. Between drugs and alcohol and the fights At home with my wife And the obsessive thinking and then sleepless nights. Relationships end! I was self medicating with drugs and alcohol. Its seems u can deal with everything u happened to experience while u are up in ur "highs". That's the part that I Don't get. That u r very productive while u r high. I would try to clean the house, start with the bathroom, then jump to clean the kitchen and at the same time I'm trying to cook dinner while vacuuming the carpet! I see a pattern in the vids of u I've seen. So far. The breakups! And the dating!
Oz Bo are you on medicine? I have a lot of insomnia and mixed episodes. I haven’t found anything that works yet.
And I struggle with obsessive thoughts
Can anyone help me? So for a period of time (about a year) I was depressed then it went away. Then I was panicky then it went away (lasted 2-3 months) and now I’m normal...? Am I just weird or what’s wrong with me.... and when I mean panicky I couldn’t breath in certain situations like in crowded halls or just crowed areas and also presentations I would get very shaky... then it went away...? I’m very confused send help XD
are you a teenager? (maybe you'll grow out of it) can you relate these moods to experiences in your life i.e. did the panic come with increased stress you were under? have you seen a doctor? maybe you could keep a mood diary and take it to a doctor. It's impossible to tell what's going on just from a three line comment on the internet
This is a really interesting story
Can someone please tell me what that song is at 5:03 ?Love that song sooo much!
