I began watching 7 years ago when I lost my job due to a terrible bipolar episode. I felt so alone. Then, I began to watch your videos. The videos really helped me because here was this pretty, articulate, kind woman who was suffering from this terrible illness along with me. I was not alone in my suffering. I did not need to feel so ashamed of myself. Thanks Nicole
You seem like a really genuine person. I started following your channel like a couple years ago because I appreciate your insights on mental health, psychology, subjective experience in physical illnesses, and also practical life stuff. I was a teacher at a university for many years and am now re-specializing to go into the mental health field professionally. So I guess I relate to a lot of the experiences you talk about. Thanks for making videos
I too was diagnosed with bipolar in 2012.I've been watching you and your videos since.You are an inspiration to us all .Thanks.I was diagnosed Hyper-Religious. I was seeing angels,and felt a close connection with Jesus. I was quoting scripture and also feeling as though scripture was being quoted to me.I was on a real high.And then the meds kick in ,and the bottom drops out.Depression sets in .I found myself sleeping alot.Still I feel at times that I wish to be by myself. Working and family support has been a major factor in coping with my illness. I felt alone in this, then I found your channel. Thanks again for all you do
Thank you Nicole for sharing your innermost thoughts with us! They've been very helpful to me- first for trying to understand whether I had bipolar in the first place, and secondly for ways of coping with it. I'm doing reasonably well(had a minor 2 week episode of depression a few weeks ago, but meh, been through worse) and I'm not any nasty meds.
Thank you Nicole, it's good to know we're not the only ones taking what life has to dish out. Hope all is well, as always, no pressure. Happy to have you around for the time you've given.
Thank you Nicole over all of the yrs that I've been subscribing to your UA-cam channel 9 yrs . I feel like you and i know each other pretty well that is if you even bother to watch my UA-cam channel to. I'm in agreement with you i couldn't walk away from UA-cam if i tried
I remember watching some of those videos of years ago. You sure are looking good and sounding good these days. It's nice to see. I can remember feeling concerned for you and praying for you at times back in those days when you seemed to be especially having a hard struggle. You are winning! Keep thinking positive thoughts. Keep remembering that you are Loved boundlessly by a good God and that He Loves you with an astonishing *Love,* a Love that is _beyond your wildest imaginings._ It's good to keep remembering that especially in these coronavirus days. You know how on UA-cam there is a ton of "near death experience" videos? Like for example people get in car crashes or something like that where they have "died" and left their bodies and they experience the Heaven World but they get brought back to life and then they tell their stories about what they experienced. Well.... the quote of the day is going to come from a lady who had one of those kind of experiences. Here it is: "And I had this Unconditional Love feeling being up There and it's hard for anyone to understand who has never experienced it but imagine like THE HAPPIEST YOU HAVE EVER BEEN in your entire life... you are just like *PURE BLISS* and then you take that and you multiply it by 100... that was the feeling that I had." ...
@@TheTrouserPuppetsOfficial Well that's a good point if you are the kind of person who wishes to embrace things that are not true. If you like being lied to about things of Ultimate Importance then just keep right on believing the lie that is telling you... *"There is no God."* However but... *IF* anyone wants Absolute *PROOF* that God exists... The kind of proof that is WAY WAY WAY beyond the slightest shadow of doubt (because He does in fact Exist) then what they have to do is to sufficiently pay the price of *Jeremiah **29:13* and they will have it. They won't wonder if He exists, they won't think that He Exists, they won't believe that He Exists, they will *KNOW* that He Exists. "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the *Things* that God has prepared for those who love Him." (1 Corinthians 2:9) "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He is a *Rewarder* of those who earnestly seek Him." (Hebrews 11:6) One of His first rewards would be to get you well PAST *the dead* place of having zero clue whatsoever of whether or not He Exists. ...
