May I ask what medication you're taking? I also have bipolar disorder and was diagnosed last year in March. Before that, my psychiatrist (who is different from my current one) diagnosed me with depression. I’ve been taking antidepressants, but my condition worsened to the point where I had to quit my job and stop attending school. I’ve also been experiencing frequent panic attacks and anxiety. It’s really frustrating, especially since I’ve tried different medications that worked initially, but they came with side effects, like trouble breathing, trembling, lightheadedness, and dizziness. Right now, we’re still trying to find the right medication that works for me. PS: I'm sorry for my English grammar, it's not my first language. These past few months, I've felt so lonely, and I feel like I'm the only one experiencing the overwhelming emotions and thoughts that no one seems to understand, no matter how much I try to explain. I'm really thankful that you uploaded this video; by sharing your struggle, I feel like I'm not the only one suffering from my condition.

Have you tried the ketogenic diet.

The way you phrased it "so in your own head" was perfect. I got diagnosed with bipolar 1 a few weeks ago 😅 thanks for being bold enough to share

I felt this bro. It sucks. Also meditations are hard

I love you

ooof, Bipolar with panic attacks is a rough one. GAD was the first thing I was diagnosed with. I mean technically I do meet the criteria but most likely that anxiety and the panic attacks are related to the bipolar. It's actually common enough to have both that studies suggest they can be used as an indicator for bipolar disorder or at least what some doctors believe may be a specific subtype of bipolar disorder. Same goes for schizophrenia. other studies suggest they're all related as it's apparently not uncommon for all three to run in the same families.

Thank You

Thank you so much for making this video. My husband shared it with me, and it definitely helped me out so much to hear that you are bringing awareness to this. Thank you so much. ❤

Dont go on lithium, it made my kidneys fail

WHAT MEDS WORK FOR YOU??????

The dead eyes dead give away

Thank you lmfaooooooo

i got told i had bpd and bipolar in December i think and it has been so hard since then

You are obviously very intelligent. Remember that bipolar doesnt have to be a disability - it can be a superpower. I was diagnosed at 14 and am 61 now. I have over a hundred patents, won every award possible at my company as an engineer. Find a good psychiatrist and get your meds right and add regular psycho analyisis if possible. It gets better, hang in there.

Well dang I need to know if she made it to prom!

Hello how u doing today after spinal fusion. My son is going to have SF in June 2024

Why no videos for the last one year? Hope you're fine

Hate it too ❤❤❤

you are so pretty ❤

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thank you for uploading this. We need more normalcy in the mental health community, especially for bipolar and schizophrenia. The stigma can make us feel like an unlovable monsters.

You are amazing and strong. You are helping so many people by spreading awareness. Thank you for sharing your story.

Hi Jess, I have been living with the disease for 17 years, was initially diagnosed when I was 18. The biggest advice I can give you is to journal/track your moods and symptoms every day. This has hugely helped me track the pattern of my disease and work with the doc to adjust the medication

I just came across your video. I have also been told that I don’t look bipolar or that I seem too put together to have something “wrong” with me. I am a dental hygienist and did well in school just like you. It is upsetting whenever I hear people say things like that but I just try to joke around and say “thank you”. No one knows how much we suffer inside sometimes and the never ending emotional rollercoaster that we are on. Thank you for making this video. It is nice to see someone like myself talking about it and you help many people ♥️🫶🏻

I was diagnosed in 2007 in Iraq while in the military and I share pretty much all of the opinions you have about bipolar. A person once told me, however, that if I was a member of an indigenous tribe I would probably be a shaman because of all the strange hallucinations I’ve endured though my mania. I thought that was interesting, but I dunno…something to ponder. I’m happy you’re able to get the support and help you need to learn how to cope with your condition through your own experiences with it though. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy and there are still new discoveries I’m making all the time just navigating this condition within myself. It kinda turns our brains into our worst enemies. And yes-taking the medication is a constant reminder

Hey Jess …… it’s just a day after I was diagnosed with bi polar …… my heart is shattered to pieces … will I be able to have a normal life again ?

Got diagnosed at 11. Cool video!

Thank you for your video blog. I like your pink lights. How are you feeling now? You've got this!

Yeah. That was my thought. I don’t even hope to “Overcome” this. Just trying to survive.

Have you experienced a mixed episode before??

Thank you Jess fr 😢❤ I’m that one person and I needed this and you are a baddie for sure

I have bipolar 1 and I take the same as you. 900 lithium

I did a partial program at my hospital

I also have bipolar disorder and psychotic disorder for 4 years. I feel very tired. Do you feel the same? What do you use for energy?

Hey. I was diagnosed with BP1 in 2019 and I have never crossed a video of an actual person with it. Please keep uploading videos. 🤍

I don't have bipolar, just regular old depression and cptsd, OCD, and anxiety. It is so fucking exhausting trying to everything you can just to feel 'okay' and on top of that, there are ignorant ass people trying to invalidate your condition. Its hard being a POC and knowing even normal people you know would look at you differently because of it. They think you're being dramatic. Or that you're a crazy, violent, overdramatic person. I see you girl. Its so difficult experimenting with meds and constantly trying to find the right combination that works. Some meds make you feel worse, some make you feel better and then suddenly stop working. I'm sorry you have to go through this. You are not weak for posting this video. Thank you for showing the raw side of mental illness. It makes people who struggle with the same thing feel less alone.

Ty Jess❤

Hi there, I just wanted to say thank you for this video. My girlfriend was recently hospitalized involuntarily for a manic episode into psychosis and while we were all frightened for her well-being we knew it was necessary to be done. She was just diagnosed with bipolar 1 while she's doing inpatient treatment. It is very helpful to hear others' experiences with bipolar, especially those closer to our age like you. Thank you

I was diagnosed with bipolar 1 in 2021 and literally is 2023 and I was indinail for a while and now I’m not. It hurts to say but then manic episodes be kicking my ahh.

its nice hearing somebody who also suffers, bipolar type 2 here and the depressive episodes are hell

Thanks for making this. I appreciate you

Are you or anyone else just unable to talk to people? Like when your friends, family, or random people come up to you and try to talk to you it’s like your brain freezes and you can’t even think or words or topics to talk about and now you just isolate???

I was just somewhat recently diagnosed and I didn’t want to accept that I was bipolar when I was diagnosed. Like I didn’t “act that way”, “that’s not me”, but I’ve finally have come to terms with it and accepting it and getting the right help I deserve

Ever think you might be a normal highly emotional young woman? These psych evaluations remind me of of Scientology tests. End up causing more harm than good.

Thanks for sharing your truth. I also have bipolar 1 and want to start a channel for more awareness. There is not enough real stories on living with this mental illness.

If you are on meds, can you still suffer from ups and downs ?

I have bipolar disorder too and I don’t know if you’d be comfortable clogging your mood swings (like when you know you’re super happy/sad) might be king of weird lol but I like seeing I’m not the only one

I’m 53 & have been living with bipolar since I was 25. I’ve been on 19 different meds before I found the right combo. Sometimes the side effects of the meds can be worse than the illness. First thing I did after I was diagnosed was to learn everything you can about the beast I was fighting. Bipolar is not for the weak. You will struggle for the rest of your life, even on meds. You have to be strong. Get to know your mind inside and out. Life will be a constant struggle so you have to be stronger than those who are “normal”. But I must say, I posses a gift that “normal” people will never have.I see both side of the spectrum when it comes to life due to my depression & mania. Harness this gift. You are special. Much like anything in life you will get better at dealing with your illness, cuz you are right, it is a lifelong struggle. You’ll have to work 3x’s harder than everyone else to achieve what you want in life. Take your meds daily. If they don’t work, try a new one. Get a big weekly pill box so you don’t skip any. Trust me, it works. Be strong & always be aware of your mind & the effect of your meds. I’m on 5 different meds. I hate having to take so many meds every single day just to function, at times I feel like a chemical waste dump. But I now know, without those meds my life falls apart. Also, the longer you don’t take meds, the worse your illness will get. Bipolar illness is not for the weak. It’s a daily challenge, even on meds. You have to a warrior to battle this illness. I can not stress enough, TAKE YOUR MEDS!!! And take care my dear. Good luck with the battle. You seem strong & aware of your mind. I wish you the best of luck in life and I thank you for posting this video for others. I was diagnose 30 years ago. They didn’t have all the knowledge then and only a few drugs to help. Now there is a plethora of drugs psych docs can chose from. Trust me, when I got diagnosed, mental illness wasn’t generally accepted by people. I was labeled “crazy” and no one understood what I was going through. Now there is more awareness of mental illness. Also read, read, read about neurotransmitters & what they do. It can help to make finding meds that will work for you. I wish you all the luck in the world. Be strong, stay on your meds, if a med doesn’t work for you, try another. Don’t get down about this lifelong illness, instead embrace it. It makes life a little easier when you do this. Make peace with your enemy. It’s the only way to effectively deal with being bipolar. You seem strong. I think you will be okay. You take care & be well. ✌🏻
