Bipolar Disorder the THEIF! The Things We Lose
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 бер 2024
- Bipolar Disorder steals from you. To live with Bipolar is to lose things.... people, family, jobs, financial security, dreams, independence, milestones, you name it Bipolar will steal it from you. That's why it's so important to take medication, it works. I've been on it 7 years and it helped me get through the death of my dog without going to far into psychosis. The medication helped me to realize I needed to hospitalize myself. One unfortunate thing about Bipolar Disorder is that we have to have an episode in order to be diagnosed. We have to suffer until it gets really bad and then if we are lucky we get the right diagnosis. If we are lucky we find a medication without side effects or with minimal bareable side effects. (example: I'm sensitive to sunlight so I wear sun glasses).
I can't ever verbalize the pain Bipolar Disorder inflicts upon us even after we recieve a diagnosis it is still a daily struggle. We have to contantly check in with ourselves. Take extra care of our bodies. We have to have plans for what happens if we do get sick such as a prerecorded message to yourself explaining your illness to your psychotic self in the future should you have an episode. Consistently monitor our medication with our psychiatrist. It's not easy.
BUT we have a lot of stuff in our lives to be grateful for that fact that we are still alive..a lot of us do not make it out the other side. We have extra special people in our lives because we know they will be there for us should things go south. We have a lot of moments that haven't happened yet and while we may lose some very important life milestones we can choose to focus on the future moments we don't know about yet. The flashbacks suck but we learn to deal with them and come out stronger each time.
If you think you might be bipolar, please see a doctor immediately. There is help.Thank you for watching. Please comment if you can relate or if this video has been helpful.

Much love to ya💗
CRAZY! I was in a mixed episode on my birthday, triggered by adding an antidepressant to my cocktail of pills.
Yeah Anti-depressants can be a problem for us. Sucks it had to disrupt you birthday, but glad you made it out alive! 😁
@Steph. I give you permission to let yourself off the hook about doing your videos. You do what you can and that’s your best and all anyone can ask of you.
I understand how much of a thief bipolar disorder is. I was just diagnosed but have probably had the disorder for two decades. Thinking back to multiple hypomanic episodes I have lost so many friends. So much of my reputation. I’ve gone through 7 jobs in the past year and now nobody wants to hire me. But I just wasn’t myself.
I was on Rexulti and Depakote for years not realizing it was keeping my condition under wraps. Enter new psychiatrist who puts me on two anti depressants and didn’t notice me going completely manic. Just kept upping my meds for over a year. Despite multiple times saying I wasn’t sleeping and my partner was noticing my mood was out of control. I lost so much in the past two years due to this. My retirement. My house. My good credit. My partner is now living elsewhere. It’s wrenching what it does to us.
Try to keep your head up and again, thank you for doing what you do on here.
Hi Sara!! Thank you so much for your support and sharing your experience here! ❤️ You would think by now psychiatrists would be more careful prescribing antidepressants seeing as how they can send us into mania. I think it's hard for people to understand just how easily we can destroy everything and how we are always trying to rebuild. It seems like once you do the clean up from one episode another one is right around the corner. I'm sending positive vibes towards getting a lasting job with understanding employers. And to good health! 💕❤️ Thank you again.
Thanks!
Thank you so much! 😁❤️
I am Bipolar 2 lost all my friends my work and a boyfriend 😢. I am so lonely. It's a terrible disorder.
It is terrible. It gets better though. ❤️
Good info. I hope it helps others too.
To be bipolar 1 you don't really need to have a psychotic episode. Roughly 50% do experience psychosis. But you just need to have one full manic episode.
Thank you! I'll make sure to say that in the next video.
I was happy to see a new video!
I so get this, not surprisingly. My college years were stolen by bipolar. I graduated somehow, but my college experience was fraught with ultra rapid cycling and not much fun. It took me a long time to come to peace with it.
Yeah that really sucks! Everyone says your college years are the best of your life. They are wrong though. I'm halfway through your new video, I got sidetracked but I always wondered about if I had Bipolar when I was younger.
Thanx for uppdate :)
Glad to hear the message to loved ones, felt like you Said sorry for me as well.
Yes we can be awful and it totally sucks.
Good to hear you explain the difference beetween bipo 1 and bipo 2.
Many dosent Know there are a difference.
I can also add that with bibo 2 you will hardly end up loosing everything.
With bibo 1 things can be so extreme that you end up loosing youre friends,family and work within a month..
And maybe the place you live as well...
Whats left then? Depression,shame and heavy anxiety..
And flashbacks...
agreed with what you said on ptsd.
Glad you spoke about that.
... i still hope for a flashbackremover pill to be invented..or some Kind of treatment that will free me/us from those reminders. It takes so much energy and they cause so much harm.
Have been thinking a lot abouth how much time that have been taken away from me beacause bipo.1 during the years
,but this the first time ive hear someone
speak about it.
Means a lot, keep on posting ❤ :)
Thank you so much for this! ❤️ Yeah, it is really easy to lose everything and everyone with Bipolar 1 and it definitely can happen fast. It's shocking how little time it takes to completely dismantle your life. Thank you for your support. ❤️
Salut❤ I can't cope with the weight gain(water like cellulite in my whole body)Struggled with ED nearly my whole life. No matter if I do sports or not.Even with other meds it's the same.Feeling like not myself. Do ya know what I could do or how to accept it?
Hi! ED is hard, I can relate. If you are talking about gaining wieght from medicine sometimes changing psychiatrists helps. They all prescribe differently and there are so many different medications. I have learned just being grateful for the fact that I'm here, I have a roof over my head I'm sane and have people who love me reminding myself of that over and over again helps me. Just being grateful for tiny things like the smell of new shampoo. It's really work in the beginning. I'm still learning how to accept life with bipolar. ❤️
@@BipolarPerson Sorry,that I didn't write earlier.Thank ya so much for your time and response♥️ Also thank ya that you help so many people! Because of that I feel less alone and lost.It's really hard on a daily basis.God bless ya✨
