Thank you for sharing....i also have complete recall of my entire psychosis episode and it took a long time to come to terms with the way my brain was working/seeing the world. Im so proud of your braverry to share your experience, i hope we as a community can make the world a better place for mentally ill by not being ashamed to share that info
My 15yr old daughter has experienced manic episodes similar to what you’re explaining. Now that we recognize what’s happening and now she’s using UA-cam platform to bring awareness mental health amongst the youth her UA-cam channel is Kamaya Jackson
Great video Nat. I have bipolar 1. Age 54 now, the last big mania I had was way back in my early 20s. It was all basically positive though. Really sounds like you went through hell. Hope you are doing ok.
I'm sorry that this happened to you. First of all, I want to thank you for your video; it helps a lot of people. I'm bipolar too and I have ADHD. I've used several medications; today I'm doing well, but there are some things I've stopped doing: I love coffee (here in my country, Brazil, we have great coffee), however, coffee is very bad for us bipolars. I've never used drugs, and I've always liked beers, but I don't drink beer because it triggers us and interferes with the medications. I see the psychologist every week and the psychiatrist every month. We're bipolar, but that's not the end of the world. Yes, it's possible to live a normal life. What we have to do is never drink coffee, never use drugs, never consume alcohol, and we must do physical exercises or walk at least six days a week (never fail to ask your doctor if you can exercise). All of this was recommended by the psychiatrist and also by the psychologist. I'm a lawyer and I work hard. My advice: don't let the disease take over you; you should be the one in control. Talk to your family, stay away from negative people. Good luck, you're not alone in the world. Hugs from Brazil.
Glad to see that you can re-edit your videos. I thought the quality was good enough to begin with but improvements always help. Maybe you could make another video about what to do to prepare for your next manic/hypomanic episode. Hopefully it won't be as bad as this one. There is no need that you ever repeat such a bad episode if you can stay on your meds. But, as you and I have both said, Hypomanic episodes will occur, there is almost no way to prevent that. So, be prepared. I think that you are doing fine. You know a lot about CBT and I think you will be OK. Also you have a good attitude which helps a lot.

I have type 2 and cannot even imagine how horrible this must be. I hope you’re doing better.

How many manic episodes have you had in total? I just went through my second one and it’s been hell fixing the damage.
The fun part for me is trying to explain to all my friends why I called them actors
Great listen
