Bipolar Video 1 - Depression
Переглядів 2,8 тис.10 років тому
This is my first video. It's about my experience with Bipolar Disorder. I talk about my first episode (psychotic depression) and how I became diagnosed with Bipolar. I encourage my followers on Tumblr (battle-with-bipolar.tumblr.com/) to ask me questions that I can answer in future videos. I am here to answer any questions, to get to know other fellow sufferers and hopefully be a source of info...
I'm currently trying to reduce from 50mg seroquel...they say not to cut xr tablet but literally for mine the only way that seems to work is by using scissors to cut half off a 25mg tablet
You can always go to your local pharmacy and get a pill cutter. It cuts your pills to the size you want them to be
@@battlewithbipolar things are going good..last night was 4th consecutive night with taking full 25mg seroquel and roughly half a seroquel pill...yes a pill cutter would make it a more even split as not easy with scissors cutting such a small pill
Hi, did you lose the weight you gained whilst on seraquil once you stopped?
Yes I did lose the weight, the seroquel was messing with my metabolism so made it hard to lose weight on it
Did you ever get the laugh back?
how long did it take?
@@r0b0bert no I didn’t. It didn’t come back
@@owzaeer6675 the weight loss took a couple of months maybe two or three
How long did it take for the itching to stop?
Probably about a month or so. It took awhile for it to stop
I’m 8 months off from taking it for 12 years I was on 200mg for the longest time but got down to less than 20mg for a couple years before quitting cold turkey. So fast forward 8 months later of absolutely nothing and my head space still isn’t right. How long did it take for your head to get right? Also I should mention I was on this med for anxiety and ptsd only and not for depression or bipolar
Renee Luye. how are you feeling now? tapered down from 62.5mg to 50mg. The insomnia is crazy
How u doing now hun?
How are you doing now in 2021? This video was taken a while ago and I was searching for help on here. How was the withdraws after the two weeks. Do you feel yourself again?
I felt much better off this medication and I’ll never go on it again. It was the only thing that helped me sleep for hours uninterrupted but the withdrawals are not worth going back on it
@@battlewithbipolar can u tell us how’s ur health? Ur mood since stopping meds? Thank u
@@battlewithbipolar how is ur sleep now
@@canawg my sleep is ok I do have trouble falling asleep at night sometimes it takes me a couple of hours to fall asleep but I’ve suffered from insomnia for years
Fuck seroquel
Cool update appreciate it. No one ever warned me how horrible it would be to get off so thanks for the tip with the phenergan gonna attempt another time to get off it and back to sleeping normally and waking up with energy. Hope you're doing well these days
how do you spell the name of the antihistamine you took?
Jake Whitaker phenergan
Sandra Indigo ty....im gonna try that if i can find some here in the US
Thank you
This pill is very addicted! I tried several times to stop taking it and I just can't! Am going to try once more . Thank you! For this video😀
D. Reyes that sucks. Did you ever get off it?
Try water titration and go down 5mg every 5 months
The thing where you were talking about when you looked at your moms face and it turned into a devil like entity. I have had this experience numerous times with people I know and strangers. It is one of the weirdest and scariest things I have experienced. I have also been socially isolated and stigmatized to where it just compounds the illness. I have also had to go to a mental hospital and I was strapped to a bed for a couple of hours and put in a small cell like room for some time. Its like you know that its not who you really are, but you dont know how to get out of it. Its like everywhere you go its a trap. It is so emotionally draining that I cant even put it in words. From what I gather from this video I see a very beautiful intelligent woman with endless potential. I know it is easier said than done, but take care of yourself and keep pushing forward. Thank you for your boldness in expressing your experience. It is a very difficult thing to put yourself out there like this. You are helping people more than you know.
I relate to this. Resipidone and Seroquel aswell. It's comforting to see from this first video that you can speak about it, it's even better that by doing this you're able to help others understand and learn to have empathy. Odd coming from a stranger but I appreciate what this is doing. You're not only helping yourself, but the more you do to make others aware, the more you help everyone else that may be living with a mental illness or struggle. I apologise for my rant. Though I think you may understand. I'll wrap things up with some simple last words. Thank you, and I truly wish the all the best. :)
Mipster G Hey! It took me nearly 10 years to be able to speak about it openly without feeling ashamed. I am going to make more videos about mania and hypomania and stuff but I have just been putting it off and been very busy with work. I have decided to finally study psychology at uni because I want to become a psychologist and work with people with bipolar and other mental health related issues. I have really bad anxiety about going to class due to my experience in high school so I will be doing my degree externally. Thanks for your kind words too, that's the aim of my blog and videos, even if I just help 1 person then at least I know what I am doing is worth it :)
Really interesting and well explained. It sounds so painful, surreal and colourful, Im sure if you could write about it in the same way such a book would be really popular and help lots of people. Well done Sandy you helped me and others loads :)
They also say females start with depression before they even have a manic episode. And males start with mania.
Hope you make more videos Sandyrah S .
mine started around 14 too! And i can't really remember that time too much except the psychosis i was having...and all i remember is depression but i was reading so many books a week, isolating myself, and other stuff. So i can't remember too much from that age, but i do think it was depression with psychotic features. Did't get diagnose for Bipolar until like 5/6 years later.
your the only person who has explained this properly, thankyou! you are an amazing person!
Very informative, look forward to the next one.
