I'm Bipolar 1 and I totally understand, I feel like when I get better when on meds, I go off because I believe that maybe it went away. I definitely feel like I lack judgment sometimes when it comes to meds.
I’m BP 2 I totally get you. Love to you!
You’re such a delightful, inspiring human.
BP1. Tried 19 meds. I’m done trying medicine. Nothing worked and the side effects were worse than death. I’m glad it seems to help some people though. I don’t think I can manage mania again.
You are brilliant, empathetic and inspiring! This video was so helpful to me. Thank you
Ive done this 5 times as well...ugh..finally feel stable and healthy and feel like after 8 years finally found right meds...knock on wood but its been a long hard journey but def worth it now
Never been this early #2
Always be kind to yourself, Elizabeth. You are worthy to be loved too. :)
OMFG this video was a god send!!!!!! I am alllll about “natural “ cures and pills anddd yeah definitely never into taking medications anddd I was ON AND OFF for years and THIS VIDEO HELPS ME STAY ONNNN MEDS!!!!!!!!!,! thank. YOU LIFE SAVER!
You are a good spoke person for giving us hope with our bipolar. You look good, and most importantly sound good. When I was on meds, I was fat, slow, and could do much more than sit in a chair. You demonstrate that at least some of us can function well. We all need some hope. We need more and more people to come forward to show us that we can manage bipolar. However, it must be said that some people do not do well with meds and some live empty lives. We gain tons of weight and can’t hold a job. Our dream is to be put on disability for life. I know people like that-their lives are very limited as they just live in a small apartment/room at best. Some of us have twitches and shakes. Now, I’m speaking of America where they put us on meds that work and then the insurance takes us off them. Moreover, sometimes we can’t get our meds for periods of time. When we are forced off our meds cold turkey, we get a rebound of our symptoms.
You sure hit it on the head about the real reason we don’t want our meds. We crave the great feeling of hypomania. Who would not want to feel confident, speak well, have unlimited energy, and not need much sleep. It was for sure the best time of my life. Somehow the medical establishment has to deal with that. It is probably just like trying to get guys off alcohol/drugs. We addicts will do anything for the high. Even though our drugs have put us in jails and other institutions-over and over.
Do u find the meds make u feel dumb I’m feeling that way
It's the weight gain though!! I'm really unwell currently and considering going back on.
I have bipolar disorder type i with psychotic features and I have an anxiety disorder. I sometimes hate that I deal with meds but I know the consequences of going off meds.
I suffer with Major Depressive Disorder with Mixed features...I know the consequences of stopping my meds...I function ok on my pills.But I would love to feel human and live med free...Not a reality for me...Cause I'd be dead..
I am weening off 60mgs to 30mgs of Cymbalta then off but im worried/scared! Been on Cymbalta two years now but way better from MDD, PTSD, Social Phobia, Fibromyalgia etc. I can imagine mania feels great... so hard!
Thank you ❤️ I currently feel numb on my medication (abilify) and I’m not sure which one to take

yall know any other good bipolar youtubers?
So sorry you are so unwell, Lizzie. It's good that you are managing it successfully though.
Dear Lizzy, the audio could be better. Love your videos though.
The side effects for me are what make me want to give up these meds. Weight gain and hair loss no Thank You.
Yessss
I was diagnosed BP 2 almost six years ago, I did try suicide once, but now everything is better, medication really helps you lead a normal life, as close as we con get to one.
Did people notice you were hypomanic for years??
It’s good to take a break from them
Have you tried a good exorcist ?
Yes I must say that any drug prescribed for this so-called bipolar disorder which is a desensitizer, is one I'm only willing to take if I'm going to quit eating food completely! No I am not anorexic nor do I have any eating disorders, however I do think it would be important to make sure I never eat food so if I have to worry about weight gain and the way people there's no way I could avoid not eating food at all. Make no mistake about it I would have to quit eating food completely and waste away oh, because it takes self discipline to make certain you drink water and use the medication as a substitute for food, and yes because weight gain is a side effect then that means you have to quit eating food completely! Yes I'm aware of what I'm saying entirely, and that because of petroleum being in these drugs, then it is more than reasonable to never eat food ever again! I cannot live with the feeling of being desensitized from Amy drugs I'm not true myself I'm more sure of myself if I don't eat and I'm on the medication or else they don't take any drugs at all. I hope to hear from you soon thank you bye for now!

Malnutrition & starvation dementia are CURABLE but NOT with chemical bondage. The only thing you lack is humility -- the Truth will set you free. The CURE is so simple. But humility & truth are pre-requisites. Others have done it, so can you.
Her content is interesting but so difficult to stay with more than a few minutes of listening when she's so talking in your face. Can see how unpleasant it is for people when I do this.
