Do you relate to any of these signs or do you know anyone that struggles with bipolar disorder? Disclaimer please do not self diagnose as this is just a video to those who can relate
Hey I think it’s important to mention why it’s important not to self diagnose. This is a disorder in which the brain damages itself and needs an official doctor diagnosis
I think u should take a break, I see that you upload frequently and I think it would be tiring to make these animations and voice overs. Maybe if u feel like taking a break don’t worry about us, we won’t mind.
I hate my personality. Im either too energized and weirdly too confident or too bummy and not a nice person. I just want to have one wavelenght.. Not 5 different..

A minor note here: mood swings are also seen in people with ADHD, and the symptoms can sometimes be mistaken for Bipolar. This is why it's extremely important to have a mental health professional diagnose you.
(ADHDer here) We also have tendency to manifest depression symptoms, risky behavior and outburst of energy so 🤷 I guess the difference is the duration of the mood swings
@@usercanalviejo2 , I took a number of courses in mental health and social work counseling. I have a good friend with bipolar disorder. She believes that she was misdiagnosed with ADHD years ago but I also heard that people can have both. I believe that with bipolar disorder the mood swings would be much more intense than with ADHD.
My wife was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, medication did not help. She threw away her entire career by impulsively doing something illegal and was arrested. It was typical of her impulsive behavior that grew worse, much worse as she grew older. She died at 40 years old because of her inability to make rational decisions about her health. Her uncle and cousin were schizophrenic. Her mother was agoraphobic. My wife's siblings had undiagnosed mental disorders to say the least. Mental illness most definitely runs in families.
Dang im so sorry. Mental illness is so hard for the person with the illness and those around us. Very sorry about your wife. Really hate to hear that. And so young. 💔
It is all of my life my parents always told me there was something wrong with me but instead of getting me the help I need they would hit me and punish me they always made me feel like im not normal they have a good financial situation so that what makes it even more sad
I’m professionally diagnosed with bipolar disorder and I’ve found that theres quite a lot of mental health professionals today who’ve stopped using the terms bipolar I & II. My first psychiatrist said research has shown that it’s more of a spectrum and putting people into two boxes just doesn’t work anymore. This isn’t to say people with the differences of I & II don’t exist but there are definitely people who exist in between both sides. It’s interesting
thank you for saying this. i mean, my psych never told me straight what my diagnosis is but when i got a med cert from her i found out that she categorized me as having "bipolar affective disorder" and it got me puzzled bc all ive known this time is bipolar I & II
I’m a psych student and this is absolutely true! My teacher explained to us we don’t specifically diagnose someone with type I or II anymore bc it’s basically the same thing
My bipolar has looked like different classifications of bipolar at different times. I've had full blown mania, episodes of hypomania and depression and now I sometimes have subclinical and not very intense hypomania and mild depression.
That’s interesting , I always felt u couldn’t put anyone in a box too. My brother had bipolar and suicided and me and my mum have bipolar but I’m not sure if I really could be 1 or 2 as I’m so different to my mum and my brother , I’m not suicidal , I’m never psychotic and I get hyper mania and depression, everyone I know who has bipolar are very different
lambd01d I have gone 10 days without sleep in the past, and for the past 3 years I’ve just had hyper mania and mild depression, I haven’t been majorly depressed and haven’t been majorly manic
I got my diagnosis of being bipolar about half a year ago. I'm 25 now and I thought my whole life something was off with me. just to know it's a disorder is such a great relieve, and the right therapy and meditation is helping to 'normalize' a regular lifestyle. I can relate to all 10 symptoms - thank you for this video, it feels good to see that the information is out there and educating ;) I love your videos
fr same, my friend says shes concerned I have the bipolar disorder bc of my extreme mood swings, either lack of sleep or too much sleep, getting easily distracted and talking too fast-
Ive started taking mushroom powders in my morning tea and give supplements to one of my teenagers. Such a difference. Mushrooms are the hidden gem. Mother nature has everything we need.
I go through this everyday for 12 hrs of my life and it’s not easy even with medication . I pray for everyone who’s going through this we didn’t ask for this disease .😢🙏🏽
@@FernandowoTM Sadly, No matter how good the content is, there will always be haters. This unfortunately applies to anyone who is famous or well known.
The thing about this is that if i have all the symptoms i dont wanna self diagnose but i cant go to a professional cause my parents would think im just doing it for attention and they wouldnt take me to a doctor.
I'm undiagnosed but everything that I'm feeling is pointing to bipolar since 21 , am 27 now😂my brother n coworkers said I'm on my period when I'm in an episode even though I'm a man
In the comment section I just keep reading more and more bad non-funny jokes. Don't people understand mental health is a serious thing. Some respect for people who actually have the disorder. Edit: I checked the comment section and many don't appear. Perhaps they deleted their comment or just don't have enough likes to be on top.
Please forgive me if I told any of the jokes that offended. It's actually bipolar humor. I swear it's a thing. We say things that make others with BD roar with laughter, but sometimes they go right over the heads of others without BD, or even horrify them. My BFF and I have a lot of inside jokes like this. When we tell them to other people with bipolar, we all laugh.
@@イレ-t8x yeah, but it's usually pretty obvious when someone with the disorder is making the joke vs. someone who doesn't. Bipolar people actually know what it's like while people that don't often use harmful and inaccurate stereotypes, and we hate that because it spreads misconceptions about what bipolar people are like.
I only just recently learned my mother had bipolar disorder. She had committed suicide when i was very young and i never understood some of the things she did.(from what i remember) this video helped bring things to light and made me feel like i could understand her better. Thank you guys for this video ❤
I’m sorry hon.. how old are you? I think around 16 or so you can be medically independent and you can decide if you can have meds.. also I’m sorry for your loss that can be so hard.
@@galaxycat5940 you’ve got this! Also check out your local laws to be sure! I think they’re called ad hoc rights you should be able to talk to your therapist and or pediatrician about this as well best of luck!
I'm bipolar and have been diagnosed and on meds for many years. I still have episodes of depression or mania from time to time tho. I used this video along with other resources to give my partner a better understanding of what I'm going through and I find your explanations very good. Thanks for educating!
I’m a type 1 & I’m actually currently going through a manic depression. I’m glad people are slowly starting to understand & learn about mental health (:
summary of the video: 1. Mood swings 2. Cycles of depression 3. Risky behavior 4. Intense multitasking or energy 5. Grandiosity or feelings of importance 6. Talking faster than normal 7. Difficulty concentrating 8. Extreme irritability or agitation 9. Irregular sleep 10. Changes in appetite Recommend watching to learn more 🖤
My dad has clinically diagnosed Bipolar. I have 8 of the symptoms. I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD and depression by a registered psychiatrist. Now I see why I risk my life monthly when I sneak out and ride my bike at midnight to farm silos and climb around them, sometimes reaching 100ft without safety equipment. I’ve dumpster dived, broken into abandoned buildings and I even talk to myself in this female voice that’s not mine. She’s not me nor is she controlled by me. Is this what mania feels like? Am I gonna lose myself? I don’t want to tell my parents about the silos or the abandoned buildings, but need treatment. They need to know these things in order to help me, yet I can’t bring myself to tell them because they’ll never trust me ever again. I’m getting my drivers license next year, and if I tell them now they’ll probably never trust me with any vehicle including my mountain bike, let alone the shitbox of a car that probably won’t last long enough for me to earn back their trust.
"don't self diagnose" Me going along and doing that because my minded is so fricked up that it wants me to have all the mental illness I can get but I can't tell my counsiller Just another day *sigh*
@GxldenHour You know something is wrong and you just want it validated, you want to know why you are so fd up I am the same mate.. I just wanna know what is wrong with me :)
if it helps you guys, you could always tell yourself: “I suspect I have [disorder/whatever] the symptoms are there but I need to confirm w a doctor” hopefully that maybe helps instead of saying you have the said disorder without being diagnosed? Either way I hope you guys are doing great today :D /g /pos please move forward and trying talk to your doctor soon or ask a parent if you’re not an adult 💞
The fact that this is basically on the nose makes me confident in the diagnosis I got years ago. It’s been my normal for like ever that I don’t know whether something is “normal” or not. So I got curious to check again. For almost all my life I thought I was just depressed but didn’t understand how I could move back and forth between being really depressed to excited for no reason and somewhat neutral. I was medicated only for depression and it never really helped. I stayed in depression most of the time I think. In 2016 I went to a psychiatrist to be diagnosed with PTSD, which was caused by a trauma that occurred, but in the process figured out that I was Bipolar II. Now I’ve been properly medicated and feel neutral more than depressed and have better control on my symptoms. I’m more calm and rational about stuff too. Total game changer! But always keep in mind that meds don’t cure you they help you manage. My hypomania is wonderful and awful at the same time. I use it to my advantage and love the amount of energy and productivity I get. But my biggest insecurity is I can’t shut tf up. I get too giddy and talk really fast. I trip on words enough already and struggle communicating because my mind goes too fast or just doesn’t process and form the information into proper sentences that make sense. I lack confidence in speaking, but still talk quite a bit. When I can tell I’m having an episode I apologize to my coworkers ahead of time and tell them what’s happening. Just so they know I can’t totally help it. It’s awful trying to fight the chatty urge and they seem to tolerate me well when I do. Lol
I feel the same way. I was diagnosed with depression all throughout my teen years because my doctor at the time was convinced that if I showed no signs of aggression or extreme anger, I couldn’t possibly be bipolar. I’m really glad I switched. The new doc actually listened to what I had to say and said I was a clear candidate for BD and took me off anti-depressants and put me on mood stabilizers. It’s honestly changed my life. Not just getting the help and medication I need, but the facts helped too. Just being aware of what the problem was has made all the difference. I completely understand what you mean about having bittersweet feelings about hypomanic episodes. While it can feel really great to get so many things done; finish that art project from last month, clean the house, go shopping, write a story, etc. It definitely has its drawbacks. I too get overly chatty, REALLY loud, and what I like to call ‘slaphappy’. Everything is funny. Everything. Even if someone tells me that someone died. I swear it’s like being on drugs or something. I suddenly get very social and make plans that when two weeks from now, I’m going to hate going to because I’ll be in a depressive stage again. I’m grateful to my new doctor for helping me find the truth and I highly recommend getting second opinions to anyone whose doc may not be listening to everything you’re saying.
Hmmm good to keep in mind. My family has mood disorders and I got diagnosed with depression and I’m medicated... however I do still get into depressive dips.
As a Gemini with Bipolar 1 disorder I was always confused. I have been in counseling since i was a teen and up until now, over a decade later, I'm being treated with the correct medication and therapy. For those who are reading this and struggling, do not give up. Simply call your doctor and be honest. Even tell them you saw this video and you feel as if you can relate. There is hope! Never give up on yourself. You are always number 1 💝
Sameeee, I’m also a Gemini but instead of being 1 or 2 my doctor says I’m unspecified. I’m not really sure what that means but oh well. People are always shitting on Geminis anyway bc we’re “two faced” or whatever so when people find out I’m bipolar or a Gemini they’re like ew makes sense
Darvelous TV it’s ok, I know there are a lot of uneducated people in there comments who believe in “sPiRiTuAl EnErGy AnD aStRoLoGy 🌈✨✨” and think that medication is horrible and unnecessary, but take it from a person who’s been medicated for bipolar. It really does help
@@skinnny2055 so bad.. don't worry ... please try to be happy and be a positive minded person and I know it's hard but please try dear for your own good 🥺

The thing is, I do want to seek professional health but I'm just completely unable to cuz my parents think this stuff is just me being dramatic or it just doesn't exist, and I have all of these symptoms and had them from more than a year, after my parents manipulated me into an engagement.
Manipulated you into an engagement......... Bipolar is either genetic or a learned behavior from early on. It does not start from something random like that.
Bipolar can be set off my traumatic or extreme stress I. E. Forced engagement. I suggest you seek help at least to try to diagnose. - Registered Mental Health Nurse
I try so hard to control it but my problems and mood swings are very hard for the people around me. It’s rough on them and that increases the guilt further.
Rich Robinson don’t feel guilty, being bipolar and having a mental illness in general isn’t a choice. There will come a day when you will find peace with yourself and your bipolar disorder, I know you will, even if it sometimes doesn’t seem that way. I believe in you.
Yes, except when in relationship you said < I love you, you mean the world to me > then go to sleep with another person for self interest and broke the heart to an innocents partner for life.., This is my story to the world
I was dating a bipolar guy. I tried to support him on depression, I tried to support him on mania. But the truth is that on his mania crisis, he was extremely mean to me. He was nice and tried to conquer people he didn’t know. It seems he was in love with every single unknown people around him. But for me, harshness. Turn out that while he was on a maniac event, I was getting depressed. He: euphoric to people in general, and aggressive to his family and me. And I was full time crying seeing my self-esteem turning into ashes while he didn’t care because of the crisis. Now we broke up and sometimes he says he can’t forget himself for being so mean, and sometimes he says I should consider he was on mania crisis. I personally consider my well-being.
No. If he knew it was because of his mania he should have got help. It's hard to control it but it is possible. But making the comment "consider I'm on mania crisis" seems like he doesn't want to control it. You come first. You can't save everyone.
same condition with me... i cant understand what i have to do for him n even he not ready for once time checkup.. but being a friend i want to see him happy and mentally strong...
@@kaleemullahsoomro3666 I tried really hard to keep a friendship with him. But things were always getting worse. When he was depressed, I helped him. When he were on mania, he treated me like shit. Turned out I put an end to our friendship three weeks ago because he abused me. He is on mania and acts as if nothing happened. I am sad and crying everyday. But my decision is the best (in my case). I am not getting any close to him again.
@@monicaslv323 same here.. he refuse me to go for checkup.. he not ready for it.. he not value me.. even not replay.. but i want to see him normal.. i wish i could do good for him.. but he not understadning it..some time behave so lovely and some totally ignoreable
I got diagnosed with bipolar 2 a few months ago. I’ve never had a full on manic episode but have experienced many episodes of hypomania. Just as you stated in the video, I didn’t correlate my sudden productivity and lack of sleep as hypomania. I thought I was just suddenly “getting better”, so I went to the doctor believing I was just a depressed and left with a bipolar diagnosis. Having the diagnosis has really helped me recognize hypomania and keep track of my mood swings while I work with my doctor to find a medication I can afford that’ll work.
I was diagnosed with clinical depression when I was hospitalised at 14, they put me on antidepressants which didn’t do shit and sometimes made me feel worse. Until I was 17 I’d go through periods of just being full of energy, talkative, heightened sex drive, impulse and overall in a good mood. I’d then go dangerously depressed and suicidal. I think I’ve had a manic episode a few times. One time when I was 15 I snuck out the house at 1 in the morning (this was an impulsive decision not planned) and went to meet my ex boyfriend who was camping with some friends. My mood was just really weird as if I was drunk, I was just laughing, talking loads, sitting on my ex’s lap and kissing him (even though I wasn’t interested in him). My behaviour that night was just weird and not like me. I remember waking up in the morning feeling so embarrassed and confused. Anyway, when I was 17 the doctors came up with one last solution as an alternative to putting me back in hospital , they gave me mood stabilises/anti psychotics which are known to treat bipolar. They worked wonders. I still struggle and show clear symptoms of both depression and bipolar and when I don’t take my mood stabilises for a few days (like when I run out) I go back to exactly where I started as if no improvement was made. Today I’m still diagnosed with clinical depression but I believe I’ve been misdiagnosed and I’m unsure what to do about it. I’ve never told the doctors about that time when I was 15 or any other similar experiences and behaviours because I feel ashamed. Not only that but I’m scared they won’t believe me and take me seriously.
Be honest with the doctors, if you are doing things out of character that's import information and you may have another personality disorder instead, good luck out there 🖤
Wasn’t a fan of antipsychotics nor antidepressants. Medication just isn’t for me. Just made me feel like a zombie. I’m doing my best to manage without medication, and so far it’s going well.
@@EM-wo6wf I suppose it’s different for everyone. If I don’t take my meds my life turns into a rollercoaster of feeling great which sounds good until you do stupid shit , downs where I go suicidal, anger, paranoia, getting big life changing ideas. Let’s just say that I’ve been on meds since I was 14, it took awhile but finally on some that improve my life at least a little
My psychiatrist (Who mainly works with medication) and my behavioral therapist said that most of my symptoms are from bipolar 1, ADHD, PTSD. So I decided to watch this so I can learn more about this.
I only have three moods that i show to people: -emotionless face/eyes. -laughing out of no where. -anger. The moods i go through when im alone: -motivational mood. -depressive. -unintentionally staring at something for sometimes hours thinking about anything. -a clean freak. -energetic self-loving adventurer. - “i’m a god, im so pretty, im so good at being myself”
Lots of my family members have this disorder. I would like to tell you that it is truly sad to live with this disorder, and for those who are obssessed with having a disorder without showing any signs is even more sad because people suffer badly from this.
My sister one committed suicide, my mother also pass, I was suffering on silence until I was 45,sad thing is that I take my meds.this is the fourth day that I'm missing one of my med,is through mailing Rx,I wish that there were more caring, on the health workers,this is real 😢.
I’m bipolar 2 and my husband has to keep reminding me of what I’m like unmedicated because I always try to convince him I’m cured when I’m level and should come off my meds. I’m very lucky to have him because he manages to say it with kindness and understanding.
Mental health and dealing with mental healthy should be something that is compulsory to learn at school. There are so many people out there that are unaware of mental illness that if the may have a mental health condition they might never get help and live miserably. Then there are the people that judges and ridicule people who are suffering from mental illness just because the don't seem "normal". Which is why I'm happy that there are channels like these to educate us.
I've had Bipolar 1 since I was diagnosed at age 7, here I am 20 years old and still dealing with it. I've been on so many medications for this. The mania is the worst of it. When my body's tired my mind races to stay awake. I'll lay there without sleep for almost the whole night. I'm on really good meds now. I also am level 2 on the autism spectrum, so not only is having bipolar hard, so are social events and having my routine change constantly.
That's great that you have really good meds. I'm a bit bipolar though 5 6 and 7 aren't any on my list/condition. I have mood swing, with some disorder and suffer from depression that often recur through out my days. I stopped my meds for a year now and my moods get worse and I tend to isolate myself, either not sleep or have 13 hour straight sleep. I'm a bit autistic but I guess high-functioning but my main issue is my moods, getting too perked up then getting totally depressive.
Remember how strong you actually are. Just putting this out here. Remember to pat yourself on the back that you’re able to live with hardships and you still come out strong.
Anyone else see things in the corner of their eyes? I’m not talking about a once a month “oh I saw something in the corner of my eye last night haha” I’m talking about on a daily basis. And you never really feel safe? Even if you’re in an empty room with the person you trust the most with a door and a million windows to escape from if anything did happen? Or you always feel like something is watching you even if you’re the only one in the room and you know it? Because I do. Especially feeling someone/something watching me. It’s getting so bad that I’ll have anxiety attacks from it, and I’ll just walk around the house feeling unsafe no matter where I go. And I used to loveeee having the lights off while sleeping, or doing things alone. But now I’m just terrified of it. And I sound like a child but yes I am afraid of the dark because of this. And it’s also caused me to not be able to sleep sometimes. Edit: also, I have constant mood swings. I could be happy one moment then angry the next, or angry the first moment and then I cry so hard I can barely breathe and my stomach starts hurting. I get angry easily, annoyed easily, I do a lot of things wrong or I make a lot of accidents that can really affect my mental health. I sometimes feel suicidal but not to the point where I actually try to end my life, even though I really want to sometimes. I don’t get a lot of sleep, I now take this melatonin medicine stuff but before that it would take me like 3 and a half hours to fall asleep and I’d wake up super early, this also doesn’t matter but the only Dreams I ever get are nightmares or frightening/overwhelming (if that’s the word) Dreams. The last Dream I had that I can remember was a few days ago and someone was trying to break into my house. And I’ll also sometimes have random bursts of energy or very quick loss of energy and hope. lol do what you want with this info I’m gonna go cry and eat cereal GOODBYE HAVE A GOOD DAY 💃
I’m shook. You literally described everything that happens to me. All of that. Especially the feeling unsafe in my own home by myself and the dark parts. The funny thing is I can’t sleep unless my room is pitch black but sometimes my mind wanders and then I have to watch anime so I can have my mind on something enjoyable before I crash.
I was diagnosed just a few years ago and I'm in my mid-30's, so much of my hard life up to this point makes so much more sense now that I know why I acted the way I did. When at the time I just didn't understand why I was how I was. Every one of these is bang on, and I hate being this way. I'm managed with doctors, meds, and therapy but I wish I didn't need any of that and could just not be like this. I hate it so much, I'm such a burden most of the time and my family and friends don't deserve the complications I cause them, especially since I never meant to cause anyone trouble. I never asked for this, who honestly would?!
I have bipolar II disorder and it always makes me feel good having channels like this explain bipolar better instead of “they are happy or angry all the time”. It’s my biggest insecurity because people hear bipolar and think of a negative connotation and tend to back off from me.
DEVILTAZ35 That is your experience and that person way they handle and show symptoms of their bipolar disorder. It is different for everyone and had different intensities. Cheers
I'm terrified. I have expressed all of these symptoms at some time in my life, most of them on a weekly or monthly basis. Friends and family have hinted (and joked) that I might be bipolar but no one, including myself, took those claims seriously. And, coming from an absuive/toxic home and family I know that if I did get diagnosed with bipolar disorder it would fuel their accusations of me "being crazy" and find a way to lock me up in a pysch ward. All I've ever wanted is to be normal. I feel there is something more to my suffering in the past and in the present day, but I think I would fall apart if it were all confirmed. Both of my older siblings have severe ADHD, all my siblings and me have been tested for autism as well. Although I am not autistic or ADHD, psychiatrists have noted that I display similar symptoms/habits but no official diagnosis was made. However, I do have anxiety, depression, and C-/PTSD (diagnosed). I guess I'm just venting here. Thank you for reading this far.
Don't let you family gaslight you and make you feel crazy. My mom is. Narcissist and family made me the Scapegoat so I know about feeling crazy when you're the only one. Sounds like you tried to diagnose what's going on and try to look at your environment. Could be some kind of condition but conditions like adhd and anxiety/depression or maybe even OCD could all be conditions from your environment growing up and its how your body and mind responded. Therapy helped me the most but I know I need more. If in person therapy Is too much, try better help or something online as they let you have text or call sessions. They make you fill. A questionnaire and then match you with a specialist and you can swap them out if you don't like them
Just got diagnosed with bipolar today, that’s when I found out that talking for 9 hours straight, without eating, even following people to wherever they were going to keep talking was NOT a normal thing !!
There there, dont listen to her, you will get what you need later, but dont let she decide if you have or not something you and them cant diagnose, I hope you can go check if things are right, hope you have a great day!
ALL factors contribute our mood and psyche. Dont blame ur mom. Trust in Lord Almighty and pray for stability in life. Dont pray specific things u see on ytube. Just relax and enjoy the moment, strive to get better, live with mom n friends, forgive everyonen all.
A debilitating disorder that makes everyday life feel almost impossible to live through. It is commonly called out through discrimination and enables a person to live life with uncertainty. It’s actually unpredictable due to rapid cycling and mixed episodes at times and is known to shorten a life span of that individual. It’s no joke living with bipolar nor living with some who has bipolar. Many don’t understand it and choose to walk away (nothing wrong with that) but those who choose to understand, stay and help that person, they come very far and few between. Those people you hold on too because as long as you are open and honest about your moods how you feeling and when they start, it helps prepare a better working progress to assist the person helping you deal with your episode. We do have patterns that we may not pick up on just yet but our loved ones can tell if and when we slip into them. This is a big help to ease the episode making it more manageable than uncontrollable and undetected episodes. Suicidal tendencies are not a cry for help for those who have bipolar, especially if that person can not see a way out. It’s as real as any other action and intention that an average person does to “better” their circumstances in life. It can happen so fast for a bipolar individual that they themselves have no idea that they are in fact doing due to the intense emotion they are feeling. Everyday is a struggle, a rollercoaster or an uncertainty. Medication may help but it does not take it away. It’s a constant work-in-progress and for those who have it, I believe, are very courageous and strong people. This is by far one of the most unpredictable illness due to its spectrum and doctors still can not formulate a specific plan or criteria to isolate the cause because of the behavioural and inconsistencies it regulates on. Every bipolar patient is different to that of the next. It’s a game of trial and error and unfortunately that can cause major disadvantages in their lives, hence why most bipolar cases go untreated. No one feels like being a lab rat or a Ginny pig.
I remember I ran through this list quicker then a kid in a candy store. At one point I hit my breaking point and called my dr. I knew I needed help, I knew something was wrong with me because I couldn’t even control or handle myself anymore. When I was diagnosed it was the happinest/saddest day of my life. I finally knew what was wrong by the road to becoming stable was going to be hard, but a year into it and I think I’m on a decent path. I’m not prefect but I feel better and that’s what matters. If you feel like you may have bipolar disorder I really encourage you to seek help. You can’t do it alone, you need a team to stand by your side to help You get on track. Don’t feel ashamed, don’t feel discouraged. You deserve to have a healthy balanced life!!! You can do it! ♥️♥️⚾️
The person I like has bd and my heart hurts for them, Caring about someone with this condition is not for the faint of heart. Watching these videos helps me decipher wether or not what goes on between us is me or not. Thank you.
Tellestina I actually tried to get professionally diagnosed but the doctor said, “What’s that” (It’s hardly known) Sometimes Self Diagnosing can be a step into getting professionally diagnosed. But yes,Please do not self diagnose.
I was diagnosed with type 2 when I was 4. Also the DSM is leaning on merging the two because the differences of just “oh one is less so than the other” is kinda weak.
Glad to hear they're looking at it again. I personally think it's a spectrum. If you're diagnosed with full mania, ever, it becomes BD type 1; if you've ever been delusional in your illness, it becomes "with psychotic features." My cycle usually resembles type 2 and I'm usually not grandiose, but because I have been that extremely ill once or twice, I'm "1 with psychotic" for life. -_-
I work in emergency psychiatry as a nurse so I typically see the more severe end of bipolar, I can understand why they separate the two. But I agree with the previous poster that it’s more of a spectrum.
@@ninjaexitonly Thank you for your service. I'm sure you've saved many lives. I'm not only the Brain Club president, I'm also a client. 🤣 I want to get into peer support. I've taken the courses, but the pandemic has made it difficult to get practice hours. I really want to do support for families when their loved ones get hauled off during screening/PESS, but my case manager doesn't think I'm up to it. ):
Definitely more of a spectrum my mom is type 1 and significantly more severe then what type one would imply. (Albeit from what I’ve researched it’s about the worst case scenarios there is for bpd) like she’s just chronically ill and has been in a couple month long state of mania with psychosis. And I think that’s like a bit different then 7 days. (Not trying time compare peoples struggles to invalidate or anything I just think examples of worst case vs best case scenarios really emphasize a spectrum)
I remember sending this video to someone very close to me, I really really hope he is doing better now. I just wish I could tell him how precious he is, it's unfortunate that we lost contact.
This is also close to people who have ADHD. Growing up myself having ADHD, meant you had of different outcomes that come from it. Menaing BDP or others as well
ugh i feel SO extremely called out by this video. i'm still waiting to get my diagnosis but it wouldn't suprise me if i had a bipolar disorder. my mom actually has it aswell. i can relate to literally all the symptoms! anyway, we'll see what i'll get diagnosed with, am keeping an open mind since the result could literally still be anything. wish me luck!~
I can relate to a lot. I was diagnosed in 1999 with bipolar 1; with rapid cycling and mixed episodes (which is a combination of symptoms of both depression and mania; which is no fun at all). So far my symptoms have been manageable, but I've had to do many med changes along the road. I was diagnosed in a psych ward and it was also mentioned to me that there are NO two cases alike (so I wouldn't compare myself to others). That's it in a nutshell 🙃
lots of alone time helps with my bipolar 2 disorder. sometimes u just need to regroup and tap into ur own energy to remind yourself things will be just fine. we all have survived 100% of our bad days. let’s keep pushing FORWARD
I have bp II and I’ve experienced all of these to some degree. Getting on the right medication, even though it took several months, made all the difference and I’ve been stable for about a year now.
I’m gonna be 18 in 2 months. My dad has Bipolar 1, and I’m currently in the process of being diagnosed as well. I’m also diagnosed with ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. However, every treatment I’ve been getting hasn’t been helping enough. I hope that I DO have bipolar so I could finally get the treatment I need and I can finally find out what the heck is wrong with me.
Please dont let 20 years of your life go by like i did before I got a Dr that knew what to do and the proper meds I was at the end of trying please try as many Drs as it takes I went through 9 and this last man saved my life so sad it cost me so much but what he gave me CURED me in a week.I take 3 20mg Adderall and 3 1mg xanaxx daily I feel awesome dont give up!!!
I've already been diagnosed with BP1 but this came up in my feed so watched it anyway. I agree with all of this and would say if you are on the fence about whether or not you might have this, do yourself a favor a see a medical professional because living undiagnosed and untreated with it will only make things harder for yourself.
I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder a few years back, I decided for me personally, instead of using medication to mask the symptoms and turn me into someone I’m not which would be dishonesty, I decided I would make the symptoms work for me, I’ve always been naturally artistically inclined, so when I realize I’m manic or depressed I use the thoughts and feelings and energy or lack there of to write/produce music, draw/paint, and engage in abstract thinking, also having a friend or two who are available for me to talk to, these things have proven more effective in managing my symptoms more than therapy ever has.
My dad has all the symptoms. He is also an addict and a frequent drinker. I am terrified of him. There isn't anything anyone can do. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm not suicidal. But, he is really scary. I love him and I hate that I can't help him.
My dad is bipolar patient as well... my mom and dad divorced last year... I have a question, is this disorder hereditary? I'm scared.. that I'll get Bipolar as well....
i was diagnosed with bipolar at the mental health hospital, and I did NOT know that my extreme changes in appetite were part of this. Really fun to learn about this stuff! I hope to major is psychology in college!
My dad suffers from Bi-polar Unfortunately since he has alot of mood swings and gets angry alot, I, my siblings and mum gets mentally abused almost daily. I find it hard to love my dad but i tey to remeber he cant control his diorder and that he has had a tough child hood but even so it doesnt really give him the right to treat me how he has. I have several mental disorders of my own now because of things that have happened to me and my dads mental abuse but none of my siblings care and forgave him for whatever and in turn whenever i try to vent my feelings about being hurt and abused i'm told i'm selfish and have a perfect life Edit: to people who replied i hipe things get better for you guye and thank you
I can understand you. Almost the similar story except that my dad treats sister as a golden child. Mom is a narcissist. For her, I was jus a shield to use against dad during physical abuse sessions. In short, I feel like an outsider. Well, lets take those as a motivation to become self made in life . Understanding the kind of disorder with our parents is crucial to consciously detach from them emotionally and focus on self-growth.
You’re not alone. Go through this with my mother. You have the right mindset but the emotional abuse is such a challenge. Hard to love them but takes patience. Learning this even at 28 years old when I visit or call. Only take on as much as you can so you don’t damage your own mental health.
Someone I love and respect so much has schizoaffective disorder. She is beautiful inside and out and believed in me when I stopped believing in myself. I may have been book smart and spiritual, however my ex girlfriend is both beautiful and smart. She was so kind to me and viewed me as person and not some sociopathic/anti social monster. I was so glad she was my first love. I am introverted and do not socialize much( which she encouraged me to do) I hope she is happy and safe every single day. This video made me miss her even more.Everyone stay safe and protect your spiritual energy. It was one of those times in life where the person I thought I was helping was in fact helping me.
I have bipolar disorder type 2 with schizophrenic tendencies. I've been on my meds now for over 20 years. It's under control at least I'm aware. Recovery is something they don't talk about in this video. However it is a lifetime of work. You will never fully recover you will only maintain. Not to discourage anyone to get a diagnosis. It is ultimately important to see a doctor get on some meds and seek therapy.
This was a very good video! A lot of these accurate and I appreciate that you included symptoms that aren't as talked about. Usually, people describe bipolar disorder very vaguely, causing so many misconceptions.
In my own experiences I don't tell anyone I'm bipolar because I fear that they will look at me as a serial killer. When I'm having an episode everyone leaves the house.
My mother experienced all of these, and I especially remember the risky behaviour and grandiosity along with irritability. She also experienced hallucinations in her early years battling BD. We had to commit her twice. I haven’t spoken to her in over 20 years, but I hope she is doing better. Certainly made for a turbulent childhood living with her. I remember mostly manic episodes and they seemed to go on for ever.
I have been diagnosed with severe anxiety and clinical depression. My therapist also has questioned about me possibly being bipolar (more specifically bipolar 1), but hasn’t looked too far into it so I just assume that I’m not. These signs are very accurate for me based on what others have told me, but I also trust his judgment. I’ll bring it up just in case because while I’m open with him about my depression and such, I have never actually brought up my extreme mood swings and internalized anger because they make me feel incredibly guilty.
I'm glad you're bringing it up with your therapist. I didn't have enough insight to recognize my own mania for a long time. Would it help you feel less guilty to know that the mood swings and anger aren't your fault? (: Yeah, they are your responsibility to work on and deal with (with help from professional supporters,) but you didn't ask to have mood swings and anger. If you do have bipolar, then they are part of the illness - and the guilt might be, too. I hope you and your therapist are able to pin down your diagnosis and get you the help you need and deserve. I think you're really brave and insightful to realize that you have these issues going on. Good luck! ❤
Definitely tell the therapist! It's not your fault and it will help your therapist treat you properly! They can't help you if you don't tell them. Maybe write a letter if it's hard to vocalize. The therapist should take you seriously. Good luck
some people don’t realize that self diagnosis is the only option for some people. maybe it’s not 100% accurate but researching and trying to understand is a step in the right direction
Do you relate to any of these signs or do you know anyone that struggles with bipolar disorder? Disclaimer please do not self diagnose as this is just a video to those who can relate
love your content!!
Hey I think it’s important to mention why it’s important not to self diagnose. This is a disorder in which the brain damages itself and needs an official doctor diagnosis
Do relate to some, but I also relate to depression signs, but I’m going to get a diagnose after a while.

Idk how those r signs of bipolar there has to be more to it than that
Tu eres español/brasileiro/cileno
E niente, sono italiana e conosco solo ste 5 parole in spagnolo.
(Nothing, I'm just Italian and I only know these 5 words in Spanish).
A minor note here: mood swings are also seen in people with ADHD, and the symptoms can sometimes be mistaken for Bipolar. This is why it's extremely important to have a mental health professional diagnose you.
I’m person with ADHD and I have a lot of mood swings I’m telling u that and I was diagnosed with Depressive Disorder (DD) 😓
(ADHDer here) We also have tendency to manifest depression symptoms, risky behavior and outburst of energy so 🤷 I guess the difference is the duration of the mood swings
Same, I always thought I was bipolar, but got diagnosed with ADHD instead
@@usercanalviejo2 , I took a number of courses in mental health and social work counseling. I have a good friend with bipolar disorder. She believes that she was misdiagnosed with ADHD years ago but I also heard that people can have both. I believe that with bipolar disorder the mood swings would be much more intense than with ADHD.
I think it also has to do with autism, though I might just have ADHD as well.
I think I'm having a crush on the narrator. I like her voice, her voice takes away the pain.

@@POUTTENTARTMUSIC that's not how-
My wife was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, medication did not help. She threw away her entire career by impulsively doing something illegal and was arrested. It was typical of her impulsive behavior that grew worse, much worse as she grew older. She died at 40 years old because of her inability to make rational decisions about her health.
Her uncle and cousin were schizophrenic. Her mother was agoraphobic. My wife's siblings had undiagnosed mental disorders to say the least. Mental illness most definitely runs in families.

I’m professionally diagnosed with bipolar disorder and I’ve found that theres quite a lot of mental health professionals today who’ve stopped using the terms bipolar I & II. My first psychiatrist said research has shown that it’s more of a spectrum and putting people into two boxes just doesn’t work anymore. This isn’t to say people with the differences of I & II don’t exist but there are definitely people who exist in between both sides. It’s interesting
thank you for saying this. i mean, my psych never told me straight what my diagnosis is but when i got a med cert from her i found out that she categorized me as having "bipolar affective disorder" and it got me puzzled bc all ive known this time is bipolar I & II
I’m a psych student and this is absolutely true! My teacher explained to us we don’t specifically diagnose someone with type I or II anymore bc it’s basically the same thing
My bipolar has looked like different classifications of bipolar at different times. I've had full blown mania, episodes of hypomania and depression and now I sometimes have subclinical and not very intense hypomania and mild depression.
That’s interesting , I always felt u couldn’t put anyone in a box too. My brother had bipolar and suicided and me and my mum have bipolar but I’m not sure if I really could be 1 or 2 as I’m so different to my mum and my brother , I’m not suicidal , I’m never psychotic and I get hyper mania and depression, everyone I know who has bipolar are very different
lambd01d I have gone 10 days without sleep in the past, and for the past 3 years I’ve just had hyper mania and mild depression, I haven’t been majorly depressed and haven’t been majorly manic
I got my diagnosis of being bipolar about half a year ago. I'm 25 now and I thought my whole life something was off with me. just to know it's a disorder is such a great relieve, and the right therapy and meditation is helping to 'normalize' a regular lifestyle. I can relate to all 10 symptoms - thank you for this video, it feels good to see that the information is out there and educating ;) I love your videos

Please forgive me if I told any of the jokes that offended. It's actually bipolar humor. I swear it's a thing. We say things that make others with BD roar with laughter, but sometimes they go right over the heads of others without BD, or even horrify them. My BFF and I have a lot of inside jokes like this. When we tell them to other people with bipolar, we all laugh.
I have 5 disorders and no one cares because they think “it’s normal ohhh you’ll be fine we all feel like that”
@@イレ-t8x yeah, but it's usually pretty obvious when someone with the disorder is making the joke vs. someone who doesn't.

Risky behavior and Intense multitasking or energy
I have at least 8 of the 10 things mentioned in the video.
2Tired4this ugh it doesn’t mean you have it
My dad has clinically diagnosed Bipolar. I have 8 of the symptoms. I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD and depression by a registered psychiatrist. Now I see why I risk my life monthly when I sneak out and ride my bike at midnight to farm silos and climb around them, sometimes reaching 100ft without safety equipment. I’ve dumpster dived, broken into abandoned buildings and I even talk to myself in this female voice that’s not mine. She’s not me nor is she controlled by me. Is this what mania feels like? Am I gonna lose myself? I don’t want to tell my parents about the silos or the abandoned buildings, but need treatment. They need to know these things in order to help me, yet I can’t bring myself to tell them because they’ll never trust me ever again. I’m getting my drivers license next year, and if I tell them now they’ll probably never trust me with any vehicle including my mountain bike, let alone the shitbox of a car that probably won’t last long enough for me to earn back their trust.

please move forward and trying talk to your doctor soon or ask a parent if you’re not an adult 💞
this makes me really want to finally go talk to a specialist
same but I don't think my mom would take me
The fact that this is basically on the nose makes me confident in the diagnosis I got years ago. It’s been my normal for like ever that I don’t know whether something is “normal” or not. So I got curious to check again. For almost all my life I thought I was just depressed but didn’t understand how I could move back and forth between being really depressed to excited for no reason and somewhat neutral. I was medicated only for depression and it never really helped. I stayed in depression most of the time I think. In 2016 I went to a psychiatrist to be diagnosed with PTSD, which was caused by a trauma that occurred, but in the process figured out that I was Bipolar II. Now I’ve been properly medicated and feel neutral more than depressed and have better control on my symptoms. I’m more calm and rational about stuff too. Total game changer! But always keep in mind that meds don’t cure you they help you manage.
My hypomania is wonderful and awful at the same time. I use it to my advantage and love the amount of energy and productivity I get. But my biggest insecurity is I can’t shut tf up. I get too giddy and talk really fast. I trip on words enough already and struggle communicating because my mind goes too fast or just doesn’t process and form the information into proper sentences that make sense. I lack confidence in speaking, but still talk quite a bit. When I can tell I’m having an episode I apologize to my coworkers ahead of time and tell them what’s happening. Just so they know I can’t totally help it. It’s awful trying to fight the chatty urge and they seem to tolerate me well when I do. Lol
People seem to think that mania/hypo-mania is a good thing. I'd take a depressive episode over a manic episode any day.
Don’t fight the chatter. If you ever want to talk my non judgmental ear off, I’m here.
I honestly feel the exact same way you described... hopefully I can get a diagnosis after I leave home haha
I feel the same way. I was diagnosed with depression all throughout my teen years because my doctor at the time was convinced that if I showed no signs of aggression or extreme anger, I couldn’t possibly be bipolar. I’m really glad I switched. The new doc actually listened to what I had to say and said I was a clear candidate for BD and took me off anti-depressants and put me on mood stabilizers. It’s honestly changed my life. Not just getting the help and medication I need, but the facts helped too. Just being aware of what the problem was has made all the difference.
I completely understand what you mean about having bittersweet feelings about hypomanic episodes. While it can feel really great to get so many things done; finish that art project from last month, clean the house, go shopping, write a story, etc. It definitely has its drawbacks. I too get overly chatty, REALLY loud, and what I like to call ‘slaphappy’. Everything is funny. Everything. Even if someone tells me that someone died. I swear it’s like being on drugs or something. I suddenly get very social and make plans that when two weeks from now, I’m going to hate going to because I’ll be in a depressive stage again.
I’m grateful to my new doctor for helping me find the truth and I highly recommend getting second opinions to anyone whose doc may not be listening to everything you’re saying.
Hmmm good to keep in mind. My family has mood disorders and I got diagnosed with depression and I’m medicated... however I do still get into depressive dips.
As a Gemini with Bipolar 1 disorder I was always confused. I have been in counseling since i was a teen and up until now, over a decade later, I'm being treated with the correct medication and therapy.

The thing is, I do want to seek professional health but I'm just completely unable to cuz my parents think this stuff is just me being dramatic or it just doesn't exist, and I have all of these symptoms and had them from more than a year, after my parents manipulated me into an engagement.
Manipulated you into an engagement......... Bipolar is either genetic or a learned behavior from early on. It does not start from something random like that.
Just because you have symptoms doesn't mean you have it. Fuck bro, my nose is running must mean I have corona.
Wow there are some shit people in the comments. They are not doctors. Please seek help if you can, all the best ❤️
Bipolar can be set off my traumatic or extreme stress I. E. Forced engagement. I suggest you seek help at least to try to diagnose.

@@AMiah-jz8uu this! Thanks for responding! My brother recently went through extreme stress and was hospitalised and then diagnosed with bp!
I will be 65 in August, I was diagnosed bipolar 2 in 2003. I do not wish this mental disorder on anyone. It is simply a mess.
I recently got diagnosed and I completely relate to all of these
To anyone dealing with mental illness, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. You are beautiful in your own unique ways and deserve the world.
Thank you so much I hope you know how much your words can affect others💗
I try so hard to control it but my problems and mood swings are very hard for the people around me. It’s rough on them and that increases the guilt further.
Rich Robinson don’t feel guilty, being bipolar and having a mental illness in general isn’t a choice. There will come a day when you will find peace with yourself and your bipolar disorder, I know you will, even if it sometimes doesn’t seem that way. I believe in you.
Yes. Having (C)PTSD is in no way, shape or form your fault.
Yes, except when in relationship you said < I love you, you mean the world to me > then go to sleep with another person for self interest and broke the heart to an innocents partner for life.., This is my story to the world
I was dating a bipolar guy. I tried to support him on depression, I tried to support him on mania. But the truth is that on his mania crisis, he was extremely mean to me. He was nice and tried to conquer people he didn’t know. It seems he was in love with every single unknown people around him. But for me, harshness. Turn out that while he was on a maniac event, I was getting depressed. He: euphoric to people in general, and aggressive to his family and me. And I was full time crying seeing my self-esteem turning into ashes while he didn’t care because of the crisis. Now we broke up and sometimes he says he can’t forget himself for being so mean, and sometimes he says I should consider he was on mania crisis. I personally consider my well-being.
Im really sorry to hear that
No. If he knew it was because of his mania he should have got help. It's hard to control it but it is possible. But making the comment "consider I'm on mania crisis" seems like he doesn't want to control it. You come first. You can't save everyone.
same condition with me... i cant understand what i have to do for him n even he not ready for once time checkup.. but being a friend i want to see him happy and mentally strong...
@@kaleemullahsoomro3666 I tried really hard to keep a friendship with him. But things were always getting worse. When he was depressed, I helped him. When he were on mania, he treated me like shit. Turned out I put an end to our friendship three weeks ago because he abused me. He is on mania and acts as if nothing happened. I am sad and crying everyday. But my decision is the best (in my case). I am not getting any close to him again.
@@monicaslv323 same here.. he refuse me to go for checkup.. he not ready for it.. he not value me.. even not replay.. but i want to see him normal.. i wish i could do good for him.. but he not understadning it..some time behave so lovely and some totally ignoreable
I got diagnosed with bipolar 2 a few months ago. I’ve never had a full on manic episode but have experienced many episodes of hypomania. Just as you stated in the video, I didn’t correlate my sudden productivity and lack of sleep as hypomania. I thought I was just suddenly “getting better”, so I went to the doctor believing I was just a depressed and left with a bipolar diagnosis. Having the diagnosis has really helped me recognize hypomania and keep track of my mood swings while I work with my doctor to find a medication I can afford that’ll work.
I was diagnosed with clinical depression when I was hospitalised at 14, they put me on antidepressants which didn’t do shit and sometimes made me feel worse. Until I was 17 I’d go through periods of just being full of energy, talkative, heightened sex drive, impulse and overall in a good mood. I’d then go dangerously depressed and suicidal. I think I’ve had a manic episode a few times. One time when I was 15 I snuck out the house at 1 in the morning (this was an impulsive decision not planned) and went to meet my ex boyfriend who was camping with some friends. My mood was just really weird as if I was drunk, I was just laughing, talking loads, sitting on my ex’s lap and kissing him (even though I wasn’t interested in him). My behaviour that night was just weird and not like me. I remember waking up in the morning feeling so embarrassed and confused. Anyway, when I was 17 the doctors came up with one last solution as an alternative to putting me back in hospital , they gave me mood stabilises/anti psychotics which are known to treat bipolar. They worked wonders. I still struggle and show clear symptoms of both depression and bipolar and when I don’t take my mood stabilises for a few days (like when I run out) I go back to exactly where I started as if no improvement was made. Today I’m still diagnosed with clinical depression but I believe I’ve been misdiagnosed and I’m unsure what to do about it. I’ve never told the doctors about that time when I was 15 or any other similar experiences and behaviours because I feel ashamed. Not only that but I’m scared they won’t believe me and take me seriously.
you wont be able to be diagnosed properly if you dont become transparent with them
I think u should be honest with the doctors and tell them. I wish u the best ❤️❤️
Be honest with the doctors, if you are doing things out of character that's import information and you may have another personality disorder instead, good luck out there 🖤
Wasn’t a fan of antipsychotics nor antidepressants. Medication just isn’t for me. Just made me feel like a zombie. I’m doing my best to manage without medication, and so far it’s going well.
@@EM-wo6wf I suppose it’s different for everyone. If I don’t take my meds my life turns into a rollercoaster of feeling great which sounds good until you do stupid shit , downs where I go suicidal, anger, paranoia, getting big life changing ideas. Let’s just say that I’ve been on meds since I was 14, it took awhile but finally on some that improve my life at least a little
doctor: you have bipolar 1
*looks at mom and dad who both have bipolar disorder *
Me: hmm wonder why
Can relate😂😂
Sounds like my brother just
@A Scottish Goose yea my house can be a bit of a warzone sometimes but we all take mood stabilizer to help
1. Mood swings
2. Cycles of depression
3. Risky behavior
4. Intense multitasking/energy
5. Grandiosity or feelings of importance
6. Talking faster than normal
7. Difficulty concentrating
8. Extreme irritability
9. Irregular sleep
10. Changes in appetite
My psychiatrist (Who mainly works with medication) and my behavioral therapist said that most of my symptoms are from bipolar 1, ADHD, PTSD. So I decided to watch this so I can learn more about this.
I was diagnosed with this recently and it’s crazy how accurate this video is.
I only have three moods that i show to people:
-emotionless face/eyes.
-laughing out of no where.
-anger.
The moods i go through when im alone:
-motivational mood.
-depressive.
-unintentionally staring at something for sometimes hours thinking about anything.
-a clean freak.
-energetic self-loving adventurer.
- “i’m a god, im so pretty, im so good at being myself”
i can relate
me too
woAhhh same-
Same, but I doubt that I actually have it.
me too
Lots of my family members have this disorder. I would like to tell you that it is truly sad to live with this disorder, and for those who are obssessed with having a disorder without showing any signs is even more sad because people suffer badly from this.
My sister one committed suicide, my mother also pass, I was suffering on silence until I was 45,sad thing is that I take my meds.this is the fourth day that I'm missing one of my med,is through mailing Rx,I wish that there were more caring, on the health workers,this is real 😢.
I’m bipolar 2 and my husband has to keep reminding me of what I’m like unmedicated because I always try to convince him I’m cured when I’m level and should come off my meds. I’m very lucky to have him because he manages to say it with kindness and understanding.
Mental health and dealing with mental healthy should be something that is compulsory to learn at school. There are so many people out there that are unaware of mental illness that if the may have a mental health condition they might never get help and live miserably. Then there are the people that judges and ridicule people who are suffering from mental illness just because the don't seem "normal". Which is why I'm happy that there are channels like these to educate us.
I've had Bipolar 1 since I was diagnosed at age 7, here I am 20 years old and still dealing with it. I've been on so many medications for this. The mania is the worst of it. When my body's tired my mind races to stay awake. I'll lay there without sleep for almost the whole night. I'm on really good meds now. I also am level 2 on the autism spectrum, so not only is having bipolar hard, so are social events and having my routine change constantly.
That's great that you have really good meds. I'm a bit bipolar though 5 6 and 7 aren't any on my list/condition. I have mood swing, with some disorder and suffer from depression that often recur through out my days. I stopped my meds for a year now and my moods get worse and I tend to isolate myself, either not sleep or have 13 hour straight sleep. I'm a bit autistic but I guess high-functioning but my main issue is my moods, getting too perked up then getting totally depressive.
Man that sucks. I just hope that you keep on taking care of yourself. :/
Remember how strong you actually are. Just putting this out here. Remember to pat yourself on the back that you’re able to live with hardships and you still come out strong.
@@justalpha9138 Thank you!
@@PlaceholderDoe123 Thank you!
Anyone else see things in the corner of their eyes? I’m not talking about a once a month “oh I saw something in the corner of my eye last night haha” I’m talking about on a daily basis. And you never really feel safe? Even if you’re in an empty room with the person you trust the most with a door and a million windows to escape from if anything did happen? Or you always feel like something is watching you even if you’re the only one in the room and you know it? Because I do. Especially feeling someone/something watching me. It’s getting so bad that I’ll have anxiety attacks from it, and I’ll just walk around the house feeling unsafe no matter where I go. And I used to loveeee having the lights off while sleeping, or doing things alone. But now I’m just terrified of it. And I sound like a child but yes I am afraid of the dark because of this. And it’s also caused me to not be able to sleep sometimes.
Edit: also, I have constant mood swings. I could be happy one moment then angry the next, or angry the first moment and then I cry so hard I can barely breathe and my stomach starts hurting.
I get angry easily, annoyed easily, I do a lot of things wrong or I make a lot of accidents that can really affect my mental health. I sometimes feel suicidal but not to the point where I actually try to end my life, even though I really want to sometimes. I don’t get a lot of sleep, I now take this melatonin medicine stuff but before that it would take me like 3 and a half hours to fall asleep and I’d wake up super early, this also doesn’t matter but the only Dreams I ever get are nightmares or frightening/overwhelming (if that’s the word) Dreams. The last Dream I had that I can remember was a few days ago and someone was trying to break into my house. And I’ll also sometimes have random bursts of energy or very quick loss of energy and hope.
lol do what you want with this info I’m gonna go cry and eat cereal
GOODBYE HAVE A GOOD DAY 💃
Sometimes I wonder what if my grandma who I completely love I wonder how I would escape or get worried she’s gonna kill me
Yes, yes me tooo I thought I was the only one, oh my gosh...hi!
I’m shook. You literally described everything that happens to me. All of that. Especially the feeling unsafe in my own home by myself and the dark parts. The funny thing is I can’t sleep unless my room is pitch black but sometimes my mind wanders and then I have to watch anime so I can have my mind on something enjoyable before I crash.
YES!! ALL THE TIME
Yea I have extreme insomnia and paranoia and Im starting to see things I'm scared. Maybe an affect of trauma.
I was diagnosed just a few years ago and I'm in my mid-30's, so much of my hard life up to this point makes so much more sense now that I know why I acted the way I did. When at the time I just didn't understand why I was how I was. Every one of these is bang on, and I hate being this way. I'm managed with doctors, meds, and therapy but I wish I didn't need any of that and could just not be like this. I hate it so much, I'm such a burden most of the time and my family and friends don't deserve the complications I cause them, especially since I never meant to cause anyone trouble. I never asked for this, who honestly would?!
My cousin has Bipolar disorder. I am watching this to educate myself so I know how to help and support her.
I would seek a professional as most of this is nonsense from personal experience. It is far too general and not very useful at all.
Thank you capybara
I have bipolar II disorder and it always makes me feel good having channels like this explain bipolar better instead of “they are happy or angry all the time”. It’s my biggest insecurity because people hear bipolar and think of a negative connotation and tend to back off from me.
I am surprised you see any benefit in this as this has nothing to do with the bi polar i have witnessed first hand for 20 odd years.
DEVILTAZ35 That is your experience and that person way they handle and show symptoms of their bipolar disorder. It is different for everyone and had different intensities. Cheers
I'm terrified. I have expressed all of these symptoms at some time in my life, most of them on a weekly or monthly basis. Friends and family have hinted (and joked) that I might be bipolar but no one, including myself, took those claims seriously. And, coming from an absuive/toxic home and family I know that if I did get diagnosed with bipolar disorder it would fuel their accusations of me "being crazy" and find a way to lock me up in a pysch ward. All I've ever wanted is to be normal. I feel there is something more to my suffering in the past and in the present day, but I think I would fall apart if it were all confirmed. Both of my older siblings have severe ADHD, all my siblings and me have been tested for autism as well. Although I am not autistic or ADHD, psychiatrists have noted that I display similar symptoms/habits but no official diagnosis was made. However, I do have anxiety, depression, and C-/PTSD (diagnosed). I guess I'm just venting here. Thank you for reading this far.

Don't let you family gaslight you and make you feel crazy. My mom is. Narcissist and family made me the Scapegoat so I know about feeling crazy when you're the only one. Sounds like you tried to diagnose what's going on and try to look at your environment. Could be some kind of condition but conditions like adhd and anxiety/depression or maybe even OCD could all be conditions from your environment growing up and its how your body and mind responded. Therapy helped me the most but I know I need more. If in person therapy Is too much, try better help or something online as they let you have text or call sessions. They make you fill. A questionnaire and then match you with a specialist and you can swap them out if you don't like them
Just got diagnosed with bipolar today, that’s when I found out that talking for 9 hours straight, without eating, even following people to wherever they were going to keep talking was NOT a normal thing !!
Mom says i'm faking, Dad left like 7 years ago and i still don't have enough money to afford an appointment at the doctor :')
There there, dont listen to her, you will get what you need later, but dont let she decide if you have or not something you and them cant diagnose, I hope you can go check if things are right, hope you have a great day!
That's so sad hope everything will be fine soon,
It's so crazy to me that there are people who can't go to the doctor for free omg i'm so sorry for you
im so sorry
ALL factors contribute our mood and psyche. Dont blame ur mom. Trust in Lord Almighty and pray for stability in life. Dont pray specific things u see on ytube. Just relax and enjoy the moment, strive to get better, live with mom n friends, forgive everyonen all.
A debilitating disorder that makes everyday life feel almost impossible to live through. It is commonly called out through discrimination and enables a person to live life with uncertainty. It’s actually unpredictable due to rapid cycling and mixed episodes at times and is known to shorten a life span of that individual. It’s no joke living with bipolar nor living with some who has bipolar. Many don’t understand it and choose to walk away (nothing wrong with that) but those who choose to understand, stay and help that person, they come very far and few between. Those people you hold on too because as long as you are open and honest about your moods how you feeling and when they start, it helps prepare a better working progress to assist the person helping you deal with your episode. We do have patterns that we may not pick up on just yet but our loved ones can tell if and when we slip into them. This is a big help to ease the episode making it more manageable than uncontrollable and undetected episodes. Suicidal tendencies are not a cry for help for those who have bipolar, especially if that person can not see a way out. It’s as real as any other action and intention that an average person does to “better” their circumstances in life. It can happen so fast for a bipolar individual that they themselves have no idea that they are in fact doing due to the intense emotion they are feeling. Everyday is a struggle, a rollercoaster or an uncertainty. Medication may help but it does not take it away. It’s a constant work-in-progress and for those who have it, I believe, are very courageous and strong people.
This is by far one of the most unpredictable illness due to its spectrum and doctors still can not formulate a specific plan or criteria to isolate the cause because of the behavioural and inconsistencies it regulates on. Every bipolar patient is different to that of the next. It’s a game of trial and error and unfortunately that can cause major disadvantages in their lives, hence why most bipolar cases go untreated. No one feels like being a lab rat or a Ginny pig.
I remember I ran through this list quicker then a kid in a candy store. At one point I hit my breaking point and called my dr. I knew I needed help, I knew something was wrong with me because I couldn’t even control or handle myself anymore. When I was diagnosed it was the happinest/saddest day of my life. I finally knew what was wrong by the road to becoming stable was going to be hard, but a year into it and I think I’m on a decent path. I’m not prefect but I feel better and that’s what matters.
If you feel like you may have bipolar disorder I really encourage you to seek help. You can’t do it alone, you need a team to stand by your side to help
You get on track. Don’t feel ashamed, don’t feel discouraged. You deserve to have a healthy balanced life!!!
You can do it! ♥️♥️⚾️
The person I like has bd and my heart hurts for them,
Caring about someone with this condition is not for the faint of heart. Watching these videos helps me decipher wether or not what goes on between us is me or not.
Thank you.
Please don’t self diagnose in the comment section.
I understand if you have these, but go to a professional and don’t self diagnose.
Tellestina I actually tried to get professionally diagnosed but the doctor said, “What’s that” (It’s hardly known) Sometimes Self Diagnosing can be a step into getting professionally diagnosed. But yes,Please do not self diagnose.
Eric Cartman actually honestly, you know if you’re diagnosed with ADHD or whatever. It helps me with weed! It brings me to my happy place.
When I spoke to my gp he told me I would have to attempt suicide if I needed help immediately
That new art is so good
I was diagnosed with type 2 when I was 4. Also the DSM is leaning on merging the two because the differences of just “oh one is less so than the other” is kinda weak.
Glad to hear they're looking at it again. I personally think it's a spectrum. If you're diagnosed with full mania, ever, it becomes BD type 1; if you've ever been delusional in your illness, it becomes "with psychotic features." My cycle usually resembles type 2 and I'm usually not grandiose, but because I have been that extremely ill once or twice, I'm "1 with psychotic" for life. -_-
Candy Wolff yes like many mental disorders it is a spectrum, however I’m not sure if renaming it as a spectrum disorder is part of the merger
I work in emergency psychiatry as a nurse so I typically see the more severe end of bipolar, I can understand why they separate the two. But I agree with the previous poster that it’s more of a spectrum.
@@ninjaexitonly Thank you for your service. I'm sure you've saved many lives.
I'm not only the Brain Club president, I'm also a client. 🤣 I want to get into peer support. I've taken the courses, but the pandemic has made it difficult to get practice hours. I really want to do support for families when their loved ones get hauled off during screening/PESS, but my case manager doesn't think I'm up to it. ):
Definitely more of a spectrum my mom is type 1 and significantly more severe then what type one would imply. (Albeit from what I’ve researched it’s about the worst case scenarios there is for bpd) like she’s just chronically ill and has been in a couple month long state of mania with psychosis. And I think that’s like a bit different then 7 days. (Not trying time compare peoples struggles to invalidate or anything I just think examples of worst case vs best case scenarios really emphasize a spectrum)
I remember sending this video to someone very close to me, I really really hope he is doing better now. I just wish I could tell him how precious he is, it's unfortunate that we lost contact.
I just got my report back , I'm type 2 and it makes so much sense of the problems I have, you guys help explain what is better without the big words.
This is also close to people who have ADHD. Growing up myself having ADHD, meant you had of different outcomes that come from it. Menaing BDP or others as well
Apparently like 80% of people with bd have also been diagnosed with ADHD
ugh i feel SO extremely called out by this video. i'm still waiting to get my diagnosis but it wouldn't suprise me if i had a bipolar disorder. my mom actually has it aswell. i can relate to literally all the symptoms! anyway, we'll see what i'll get diagnosed with, am keeping an open mind since the result could literally still be anything. wish me luck!~
hey you’re good?
This is so true. I have Bipolar Disorder and I have experienced all of this. Great video.
I can relate to a lot. I was diagnosed in 1999 with bipolar 1; with rapid cycling and mixed episodes
(which is a combination of symptoms of both depression and mania; which is no fun at all). So far my symptoms have been manageable, but I've had to do many med changes along the road. I was diagnosed in a psych ward and it was also mentioned to me that there are NO two cases alike (so I wouldn't compare myself to others). That's it in a nutshell 🙃
lots of alone time helps with my bipolar 2 disorder. sometimes u just need to regroup and tap into ur own energy to remind yourself things will be just fine. we all have survived 100% of our bad days. let’s keep pushing FORWARD
Greene Bean, Thank you, very well said.
Lockdown has helped, mostly because left to my own devices, things balance better.
Helps me too. Being optimistic can do wonders.
I have bp II and I’ve experienced all of these to some degree. Getting on the right medication, even though it took several months, made all the difference and I’ve been stable for about a year now.
Did u smoke weed at all ?
Weed is better
I’m gonna be 18 in 2 months. My dad has Bipolar 1, and I’m currently in the process of being diagnosed as well. I’m also diagnosed with ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. However, every treatment I’ve been getting hasn’t been helping enough. I hope that I DO have bipolar so I could finally get the treatment I need and I can finally find out what the heck is wrong with me.
Please dont let 20 years of your life go by like i did before I got a Dr that knew what to do and the proper meds I was at the end of trying please try as many Drs as it takes I went through 9 and this last man saved my life so sad it cost me so much but what he gave me CURED me in a week.I take 3 20mg Adderall and 3 1mg xanaxx daily I feel awesome dont give up!!!
I've already been diagnosed with BP1 but this came up in my feed so watched it anyway. I agree with all of this and would say if you are on the fence about whether or not you might have this, do yourself a favor a see a medical professional because living undiagnosed and untreated with it will only make things harder for yourself.
As i actually have bipolar i do relate to most of this very well. Nice job with educating people about this. 👍
I got diagnosed a few weeks ago and I just stumbled on this and i almost cried because I recognize myself in this
Yes you are a mess now seek help immediately
I been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder like 3 years ago . I recovered thanks to the competent psychologist 💖
I’ve been recently diagnosed with Bipolar 2. These videos are so helpful with understanding myself and what’s going on. Thank you!
As someone recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder, this was really helpful. Thank you
I am actually diagnosed with bi polar disorder and more than half of this is true.
I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder a few years back, I decided for me personally, instead of using medication to mask the symptoms and turn me into someone I’m not which would be dishonesty, I decided I would make the symptoms work for me, I’ve always been naturally artistically inclined, so when I realize I’m manic or depressed I use the thoughts and feelings and energy or lack there of to write/produce music, draw/paint, and engage in abstract thinking, also having a friend or two who are available for me to talk to, these things have proven more effective in managing my symptoms more than therapy ever has.
This video was extremely helpful with my depression. Thank you for opening up my eyes and making me more confident about myself!
I really want to ask a professional
But others would just laugh >:[
who cares what other thinks. They dont live in your life/shoes. Do what is the best for yourself! God bless!
Same
Not to mention they are expensive.
Don't think bout others, just go for it
Your mental health is way more important than what others people think
My dad has all the symptoms. He is also an addict and a frequent drinker. I am terrified of him. There isn't anything anyone can do. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm not suicidal. But, he is really scary. I love him and I hate that I can't help him.
my mom is struggling with exactly the same thing, idk what to do
My dad is bipolar patient as well... my mom and dad divorced last year...
I have a question, is this disorder hereditary? I'm scared.. that I'll get Bipolar as well....
i was diagnosed with bipolar at the mental health hospital, and I did NOT know that my extreme changes in appetite were part of this. Really fun to learn about this stuff! I hope to major is psychology in college!
My dad suffers from Bi-polar
Unfortunately since he has alot of mood swings and gets angry alot,
I, my siblings and mum gets mentally abused almost daily.
I find it hard to love my dad but i tey to remeber he cant control his diorder and that he has had a tough child hood but even so it doesnt really give him the right to treat me how he has. I have several mental disorders of my own now because of things that have happened to me and my dads mental abuse but none of my siblings care and forgave him for whatever and in turn whenever i try to vent my feelings about being hurt and abused i'm told i'm selfish and have a perfect life
Edit: to people who replied i hipe things get better for you guye and thank you
I can understand you. Almost the similar story except that my dad treats sister as a golden child. Mom is a narcissist. For her, I was jus a shield to use against dad during physical abuse sessions. In short, I feel like an outsider. Well, lets take those as a motivation to become self made in life . Understanding the kind of disorder with our parents is crucial to consciously detach from them emotionally and focus on self-growth.
Phoenix 05 I hope you guys deal with theses
You’re not alone. Go through this with my mother. You have the right mindset but the emotional abuse is such a challenge. Hard to love them but takes patience. Learning this even at 28 years old when I visit or call. Only take on as much as you can so you don’t damage your own mental health.
I hope that he’ll get better and realise that what he’s doing is not right you and your family are so kind
saiki k fan hey! I hope your alright
Someone I love and respect so much has schizoaffective disorder. She is beautiful inside and out and believed in me when I stopped believing in myself. I may have been book smart and spiritual, however my ex girlfriend is both beautiful and smart. She was so kind to me and viewed me as person and not some sociopathic/anti social monster. I was so glad she was my first love. I am introverted and do not socialize much( which she encouraged me to do) I hope she is happy and safe every single day. This video made me miss her even more.Everyone stay safe and protect your spiritual energy. It was one of those times in life where the person I thought I was helping was in fact helping me.
I was diagnosed with BDI when I was 23. I'm 41 now. You really nailed this!
Many people I know have bipolar
I have bipolar disorder type 2 with schizophrenic tendencies. I've been on my meds now for over 20 years. It's under control at least I'm aware. Recovery is something they don't talk about in this video. However it is a lifetime of work. You will never fully recover you will only maintain. Not to discourage anyone to get a diagnosis. It is ultimately important to see a doctor get on some meds and seek therapy.
This was a very good video! A lot of these accurate and I appreciate that you included symptoms that aren't as talked about. Usually, people describe bipolar disorder very vaguely, causing so many misconceptions.
Plot twist the person who said first is isnt the first one here.
Can confirm, when I first clicked on the video there was only one comment and he didn’t say first, thankfully.
Bipolar distractability go: Is that the Monkey King in your pfp?
In my own experiences I don't tell anyone I'm bipolar because I fear that they will look at me as a serial killer.
When I'm having an episode everyone leaves the house.
Ah I see it's fine
My mother experienced all of these, and I especially remember the risky behaviour and grandiosity along with irritability. She also experienced hallucinations in her early years battling BD. We had to commit her twice. I haven’t spoken to her in over 20 years, but I hope she is doing better. Certainly made for a turbulent childhood living with her. I remember mostly manic episodes and they seemed to go on for ever.
I would like you to talk about schizoaffective disorder
YES please
I never heard of that ( sorry hehe ), I would love to know about it.
That’s an interesting topic! We will be covering a video on this soon :)
I have been diagnosed with severe anxiety and clinical depression. My therapist also has questioned about me possibly being bipolar (more specifically bipolar 1), but hasn’t looked too far into it so I just assume that I’m not. These signs are very accurate for me based on what others have told me, but I also trust his judgment. I’ll bring it up just in case because while I’m open with him about my depression and such, I have never actually brought up my extreme mood swings and internalized anger because they make me feel incredibly guilty.

same.
I'm glad you're bringing it up with your therapist. I didn't have enough insight to recognize my own mania for a long time. Would it help you feel less guilty to know that the mood swings and anger aren't your fault? (: Yeah, they are your responsibility to work on and deal with (with help from professional supporters,) but you didn't ask to have mood swings and anger. If you do have bipolar, then they are part of the illness - and the guilt might be, too. I hope you and your therapist are able to pin down your diagnosis and get you the help you need and deserve. I think you're really brave and insightful to realize that you have these issues going on. Good luck! ❤
Definitely tell the therapist! It's not your fault and it will help your therapist treat you properly! They can't help you if you don't tell them. Maybe write a letter if it's hard to vocalize. The therapist should take you seriously. Good luck
I was waiting for this!
some people don’t realize that self diagnosis is the only option for some people. maybe it’s not 100% accurate but researching and trying to understand is a step in the right direction
