    I agree whole heartedly that when you're with somebody that doesn't want to help themselves, that's bipolar, there's nothing you can do. They have their mind made up that they're either not bipolar, and it's always the other person's fault. And if you make suggestions, they only get angry and start fights.

It is fairly common for people to deny their bipolar diagnosis, but not any different from other diagnoses such as depression or schizophrenia.

      @@CrueFan72 It's totally understandable to be so anxious about this. It's difficult to know what to do, but most of the time isolation makes depression worse. I don't know if you've tried this in the past, but perhaps encouraging him to go somewhere with you out of the house could help him out of his rut. And as for yourself, feeling helpless with the whole situation can be extremely overwhelming. I would not want you to distance yourself from those emotions of course, but perhaps distracting yourself with creative hobbies and different relaxation techniques, like meditation, when you're feeling stressed. Also, radical acceptance may help your mindset when it comes to feeling anxious.

    It seems a lot of women with bipolar illness need ir expect a partner who is always on point, perfect in every way, and is a mind reader. Basically a man with super human intuition, and more than typically submissive to her needs and or outbursts. Thoughts please?

    • @DJ_THOR_24_7
      @DJ_THOR_24_7 24 дні тому

      I agree with your statement. I live with somebody that is bipolar. She does not think she's bipolar. She does not want to get any help. I'm bipolar, I am in treatment. I'm the reasonable one. The one that always tries to fix things with her outbursts, her lashes of anger fits of rage. And if any suggestions are made that she is bipolar, and she could get some help or should get some help. She totally disagrees, and she will start a fight. She starts fights over the smallest little things, and I've dealt with it for a long time, and then I start lashing out at her Vert. Ripping me apart. I always try to go back and fix things, but it's no use. She'll stay angry for days. The best thing to do is walk away from somebody like this. It doesn't want to get treatment and does not communicate at all. Everything is my fault.So best thing to do is walk away and yes, she basically tells me I should do this, I should do that this is what I think this is what I'm gonna do. She predicts my future all the time. It was aggravating, and I try to bring it up to her let her know I'm not a mind reader, you don't know what I'm gonna say. You don't know what I'm gonna do. You can't predict the future, but you seem to think so. They basically, yes, want a superhuman male that does never mess up in the smallest things they pick apart

    Good content. I feel that insight has to come before understanding. But, bipolar, from my experience and knowledge, typically has poor insight or good insight. Most have limited insight, which is why we stop our meds ... because nothing is wrong. Then, there's also a continuum of symptoms, and people fall in it wherever they land. My most recent manic episode was in early 2018. I was manic for 4 months straight. The meds did finally bring me back to reality, but you can't really have insight when that manic. I had no idea I was hallucinating all day, all night. It took 3 years to completely stabilize. And, i still do not have insight into what exactly was going on, but I now know i was hallucinating, but sometimes I really can't tell. I only know because others told me and the docs told me, not because I had insight or understanding.

    • @BipolarGossamer
      @BipolarGossamer 7 місяців тому

      That's a very good point! I was more speaking upon not being currently in the crisis manic stage. By that point, it's very very difficult to have insight, I also know that from personal experience. However, there are many preventative measures that can be taken before that point hits and I was more referring to when you have the capacity to have insight so you can prevent episodes.

    Hey there, congratulations on your video and channel. It's truly impactful for many. I resonate with your journey as I too navigate bipolar disorder and ADHD comorbidities. It's been quite the uphill battle, but I've found stability over the past year by diligently following my psychiatrist and psychologist's guidance. It's transformed my life, proving that a fulfilling, "normal" life is achievable with the right support and commitment to self-care. I want to emphasize the importance of maintaining regular sessions with both your psychologist and doctor. Never underestimate the power of this dual support system. Remember, you're never alone in this. Your resilience is inspiring, and though I'm thousands of miles away in South America, I genuinely wish you continued progress and wellness. I personally find great solace in my weekly sessions with my psychologist and monthly visits to my doctor. It's a routine that grounds me and fosters growth. With the right medication and therapy, I've been able to be incredibly productive. As an attorney, I work extensively, and yes, with treatment, it's entirely possible to live a better life. Keep pushing forward, and know that every step counts. Your channel has truly resonated with me, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to connect, despite the distance. Wishing you all the best on your journey.
