Best wishes for happiness. Your channel is putting a face on mental health and that is important. ❤
I spent $28000.00 in a year grocery store online yes I've been naked done extreme everything and totally fake normal cuz people say I'm crazy . 💔 It's hard your so so so on point .😂
❤
It’s so hard to fall asleep your voice keeps on or not even your voice it’s Jess , uncontrollable non-stop rambling over and over and over where you can even focus as if I even come down enough to try to focus to sleep fucking sucks
Bless you. ❤ thank you. Your very brave to open yourself up on such a forum which can lead to negative people, please don't let them impact you. 🙏🏼 For you to be blessed my dear! And again thanks, this short video spoke to my soul
Wow, i didnt think anyone could capture it that well. You're brave as all hell for being so open and real about it.
Yeah and she has a wonderful SOH about it.
She's the best and she's going thru it rn
Hell of a fighter ❤️
She did amazing! The three heads conversation😮 that's so me. I really try to be aware that I am in a manic episode and take time and space and try to not be such a force on my loved ones 💔
Tho thtunning and brave..

Mine can be euphoric, but mostly manifests as high anxiety, agitation, and irritability.
Same
Same with me
Mine too since I've become a mother. Euphoric manias have almost entirely disappeared 😢.
Yes very overwhelming. Irritating feel like I'm going to come out of my skin
I barely get any sleep. I haven't had a manic episode in years but I have hypomania
OMG I love the bikini in the snow. I thought I was the only one who became " immune" to temperatures during that phase.
Me too!!!! It’s like temperatures don’t exist anymore!
Have you heard of Wim Hof? He does this. And I don't think he is a so called schizophrenic.
My neighbors do not appreciate no curtains on the windows and the lack of clothing generally.
I try to be modest but it can be difficult at times. I use good judgement around women and children though.I keep that at the forethought of my dislike for wearing clothes in my home.I would not subject them to that ever on purpose
Yo same I didn’t even think about that until reading this
The best time of my life is during mania, the worst time of my life is everything after.
Wow, that is so true for me too
So true I wish there could be some community for us Bipolars where we can be as free and open and tell our weird crazy and awesome unique stories to each other ,, for miat of the time I got sad about my manic activites which I regretted later fueling my depression but now I own those and accept all my flaws with open arm and will lead them to perfection I want to perfect my Mania wherein I am as eyphoric creative but still very much in control being depressed alao for a long time is also not normal so qhy dont embrace our much crazy side and keep it in check from our previous EXPERIENCEs GUYS ....😂😂😂 LIVE AND LET LIVE why dont these simple things others understand not EVERYBODY is an perfect idol .....
But the depression that follows soon after😢
When you realize you're manic and know a crash will happen..and then say "screw it this is too much fun" lol
Right
Wow haha. A bi polar friend told me she feels like whatever she attempts everything inside her says it’s impossible for her to fail. That’s unimaginable to me! Brains are wild!
Yes, even though rationally I know it doesn't make sense, it sure _feels_ that way, which is weird. Everything feels so tasty, every touch feels so thrilling, the world is inspiring, I'm great, the sky is brighter, everything is brighter (and it probably is, because pupils dilated), and everything is going to work out. I'm like "Ok, brain, whatever. I'm going to enjoy this while it lasts". When one is depressed, on the other hand...
Fortunately I'm very rational, self-controlled, pragmatic, disciplined, and emotionally aware, it helps a lot navigating the disease. I'm asocial as well (Schizoid PD), which might help somehow.
Sounds like a good thing to me..where’s the down side to that?
@@lalitajackson1134mania isn’t enjoyable. it’s not happy vs sad it’s more up vs down. when i’m manic i don’t feel truly happy/content it’s a very surface level feeling of euphoria/excitement. also, mania can make you do harmful things. you are not 100% there when you’re manic.
@@juwington Thank you for the transparency and information.
God sets us up to win not fail it's in the Bible so she's telling the truth. The Devil messes things up
Me lately lol. Hahaha. Schizo affective disorder here. Im sharing because everyone tells me not to tell people and family but im not afraid to share it and if they are afraid of me sharing it then they arent the ones for me. Because i was born to help others and if my sharing helps even 1 person then maybe it can save that 1 beautiful life. And i would be so happy just saving that 1 person that needed it. Im thankful i found your page when i needed you. You saved a life.
I've explained it that at the beginning of my hypomanic episodes I'm like a hippie at Woodstock, then by the end I feel like a Vietnam vet. I go from peace love and high energy to miserable irritable and almost incapacitated
Very interesting depiction. I love the way you described it.
I would much rather have bipolar than have been in the Vietnam war! No lies
Bipolar here. Me too. Supposedly hypomanic symptoms cause the most emotional damage, we’re th’ beeyoches of the spectrum! Too bad; let the haters deal w/it and see how they handle the illness.
I’ve been diagnosed with bipolar disorder but have never felt like this. I’m constantly sad and still they won’t change my diagnosis. I know it’s major depressive disorder. Heck I’d love to have a manic episode but I don’t. Sometimes I feel happy but I don’t get the hypomanic or mania. They diagnosed me with it because they said I was talking fast. Does that make any sense. I seriously feel like crying.
@@SarahPestoit doesn't, u should talk to a other professional
The "rapid talking" is extremely accurate, as well as spending money without a care in the world!😊
i just drained my whole account $2 left 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
I liked the Monopoly money at the beginning 😂.
It’s accurate but the real deal is much faster and incomprehensible, yet concise and well annunciated.
When i have mania i text people unnecessary stuff and text them excessively. Sucks bro. But that's because i have soo much bottled up inside
Same!!!!
I hope you get help and talk to someone, Hope you both the best
I texted my downstairs neighbour today. Someone was doing DIY and I decided to share that with her. 😂
Lol I'll ramble text with you
Does medication stop the cycles of mania and depression?
I’m bipolar, I always tell people the depression side is like being thrown into a dark pit of hell. The mania is fun most of the time lol
Read Bhagavad Gita bipolar disorder will destroyed
How often does it happen if you dont mind me asking? Is it a cycle? Mania-depression and how long does it last! Im just really curious
@@tequilabumbum4373for me personally it can last up to two hours to a day but it’s different for everyone
@@tequilabumbum4373 my personal experince is every 2 weeks or so I start into either a depression or a manic episode. 1 week remission in between of less intense mood swings.
It's having all the stupid ideas you have when you're drunk, coupled with boundless confidence and energy to act on them.
I have Bipolar 1 and you nailed it! The scariest thing about mania is the absolute lack of fear of consequences and the lack of concern for personal safety. I'm so glad my medication has eliminated my manic episodes.
Yep I relate . Emigrated to France during an episode . Lol
Wat medication are you on
@@libeharrington63 They had me on two antipsychotics . One made m'y haïr fall out ! And I felt liké a zombie . People would speak to me but thé thought in m'y head wouldnt manifest in m'y mouth ! Now Im just on 400 g of Lithium . I was prescribed 800 g but it dulled m'y mind so I reduced it . Works great for me . Problem is Ive had so much trauma IE CPTSD etc . Difficult to seperate trauma from bipolar . I was crippled with dépression and now thats under control . Had some speedy speach flight of ideas and impulsive high risk décisions . Ive survived and life is good . Peace
@@libeharrington63curious to know too
@@dianecleary1054😂😂
Minus the money part.
I was hospitalized and diagnosed with bipolar 1 over 12 years ago and I've been put in situations where I was digging bottles out of garbage cans just to get enough change to buy a honey bun. And ever since then I'm the complete opposite with money. I understand a lot of bipolar folk ain't good with money, but some are forced to be. The fear of starving in the backseat of my car again is really what keeps me disciplined. It doesn't matter what state of mind I'm in, I can never go back to that and I will never do that to myself again. Every once in a while I'll still make an impulsive purchase but it's nowhere near enough to destroy me.
I went 7 years with no mania, then boom.... The last two happened six months before the last 2 eclipses
my bestie has bipolar 2 and I've just gotten so used to it at this point. The amount of times he'll call me at 3 in the morning saying, "should I cut my bangs-" "PUT THE SCISSORS DOWN"
I do the same stuff but I’m not sure if I’m bipolar my doctor tried to tell me but I won’t accept it
I have Bipolar I with psychosis, and when I describe mania to people I tell them that it feels like being high as a kite with euphoria without taking drugs. It can feel like I’m literally flying, or like I’m invincible. When I’m manic I talk really, really fast to the point where my husband has to tell me to slow down, but to me it feels like I’m talking at a normal speed.
1. Impulsive/Risky financial decisions
2. Obsessive erratic activities
3. Racing, disorganized, overlapping thoughts/voices
4. Excessive fantasies of grandeur
5. Hyper over exuberance/over excitement
6. Short tempered/ snappy to aggravate
7. Non-drowsy over stimulated mind
8. Reckless physical behaviour
I'm no doctor nor clinician. Just labelling some of the symptoms as I experience them. All apply to me except running in the buck in winter (Canada -30C = dangerous) but rolling in mud after a thunderstorm or during.
Do you know or remember what you do and say during a mania episode or do you lose consciousness?
@@vanessaleitao231 I do not lose consciousness. I remember all of the episodes. For me they are very seductive. Dropping into a manic episode where I construct vast movie-scapes that I play in my head over and over in my mind are quite elaborate. I can engage with these day time fantasizes for hours even days. Writing them down is far too difficult. I continually rework the fantasy with new actors/players, sets, objects so written words are too clumsy and ineffective to describe the visions. I am physically and mentally exhausted after engaging with the episodes. Time lapses quickly and has little meaning. Hope that helps! :)
My manic episodes are different activities but the same frantic euphoria.
Considering the possibility that I may have just had a manic episode. I have no bipolar diagnosis. But this does describe what I was feeling. I was also on vacation though
@@MJSHappy It is possible. You can always talk to a psychiatrist if you are worried.
Great video! one mania time I blew $5000 on a roulette table. I then went running through the hotel hallway singing Eye Of The Tiger. Somehow I ended up in a lady's room where I engaged in a completely unsafe activity with a total stranger! Then jumped in my jeep and drove 100+ miles per hour to Chicago where I would pulled up to gang bangers and yell horrible things then drive away. Somehow I made it back to my house, where I went into the attic hid behind the chimney for three days and urinated in a Pepsi bottle. . Good ole mania. Great videos keep posting them.
We are very much alike.
Sounds like a weekend for me.
😂❤
Man, your grandkids will have a field trip with the stories you'll tell them
Wow! Interesting story. That story can be a damn movie.
Never thought I’d be a groupie for a mental health content creator.. here we are 🙃
This makes a lot of sense! I was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder/an unspecified mood disorder, when in reality I have ADHD and autism. This very much resembles my periods of hyperfocus and hyperfixation. (often followed by overwhelm and a dramatic crash) I have met so many fellow neurodivergent people online who have a similar story to mine, and some who were misdiagnosed as ADHD/autistic and were really bipolar/schizophrenic! It is a crazy, complicated process finding one's true diagnoses, but it can be such a relief finally understanding your brain.
OMG! This is EXACTLY how I feel when I’m manic. I get on my own nerves🤦🏻♀️!!So on point. Thank you so much for this!!
I like your videos .... they're educational.. don't stop making videos.. and continue to be the best you can be.. you are a successful woman. I too have schizo or more like bipolar schizo but yeah I relate to some of what you talk about.
She does too, it's called Schizoaffective disorder, basically like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia in one...
this is fake. either she has eating disorder we don't know about or this is another scam story designed to be excluding actual people who deal with trauma by improving upon the life environment, travel, grow plants 🪴 , eat the right food etc.
And the cure is in your kitchen! Yes, it is curable.
as a person who suffers from bipolar i must say... NAILED IT!
Thanks for sharing helping me to understand my loved one more ❤❤
Every time im mania i always end up with a new set of christmas lights somewhere in my house. I always put up some kind of rgb light strip for a really intense reason that i cant quite ever remember
Worked with this elderly lady who was what they used to call "manic depressive" and she said when she was manic she would take her clothes off and dance naked in front of her window to see if anyone would honk at her if they drove by. When she went out she didnt like to wear underwear
I have gotten naked when manic and got SA by a male nurse, a cop and my stepdad
I found you 2 years ago when my son went into a Phycosis, then we took him to a mental health Hospital here in Australia. It was so hard to get my head around what was happening...how he was, how could I help, is the Hospital treating team doing right by him? Learning and understanding the meds... the whole nine yards!! You have helped me so much. I sort of felt he had Schizophrenia. It so happens he does mixed with OCD. For him, its more "signs" and a"feeling" rather than voices. Everyone is different. But also everyone is beautiful and remembering you are a wonderful spirit, a human and also living with a condition. I've learnt mental health changes. He learns about himself more each day. You helped me so so much. I recommend you to others aswell. ♡♡♡♡
Hoping better meds come on the market soon. Presynapic treatment for Dopamine production etc. And who knows in the future. love Felicity... ps love the bikini in the snow!♡ very ... whats that guys name ? ..Wynhoff?
All that symptomatology....and the solution is in the gut!

I've witnessed this in others. I have Schizophrenia & ADHD. I can be hyper, but not manic thankfully. The crash you get from mania is devastating. You captured this so well. Bravo.
When i get manic i dont sleep, dont eat and gradually feel less n less of a grip on reality making me my worst version of myself.
I was in mania like 4 times in my life at the beginning I thought that it was part of my personality I did so many stupid things and I lost too many friends and boyfriends😢😢😢😢
Lauren you're a true gift
Thank u lady for bit there i thought i was the only wierdest person in the world..u would make a beautiful best fren💖🤗
When I'm manic, my favorite thing to do is rap Hamilton and Dolores Madrigal's part in "We Don't Talk About Bruno," both on double speed, whilst furiously scribbling. The double speed feels a bit slow for me in that state.
This was something I have needed for confirmation! Thank you and Rob for all of the content you are putting out to shed light on your strength and moxie to live day by day. I will be contributing soon, you both are a God send.
Whenever I feel like this and I’m aware of it it shuts down instantly because throughout my life whenever this random bout of happiness occur it is ALWAYS followed by a suicidal ideation crash.
Wow I’m in tears , this is literally how I feel at least a few times a week followed by extreme crashes in motivation and my body just feels numb . I have never been diagnosed with anything but anxiety but I may need to talk to my dr 😢
Will you go out with me?
For anxiety take Holy Basil it helps.
Seeing you enjoying, even it's for sake of the video, warms my soul! I got the feeling that you where happy running
Helping more people than you could ever know
OMG, I did that once. Run in snow in my under***. I ended up in the restaurant. They knew something was wrong. The police saved my life. I ended up in the psych ward. There was this special intermediary place (not the ER), but it's for the mentally ill people. But yeah, the police saved my life. They even found my coat.
Spot on
Wow I’ve passed down mental illness to my girls from my mom, But I do that. Wow. This was so helpful.
You are a gutsy wonderful person. Thanks for bringing attention to Mental Health
my manias feel more angry and full of pent up energy. I'm inpatient, want my way and feel detached from the things I actually care about.
As a bipolar girly I 100 percent attest to this!!! You nailed it!!!!!!! 😮💨
Lord as someone with comorbid adhd and bipolar, i feel this SO MUCH, holy life. When I'm on one, I am main character amd nothing gonna stop me now. Theeeeeen i crash and burn 🔥 😫 and only sleep will satiate my anger 😅
These real life skits are “Brilliant” for fully encapsulating the way life plays out for people with these challenges.
I wish you would do many more!
you are such a sweet and wonderful person. You made me feel better about having schizoaffective disorder. God bless you, and I am sending so much love your way.💙
This is 100% correct. I hate when my mania takes hold because it lures me into a false sense of security and I think I’m better and stop taking my meds. So when I crash and seeing the other way, it becomes the most punishing experience in the world
It's so interesting to hear other people's experiences with mania. Mine is high energy, disturbed sleep patterns and creative productivity but also lots of anger, irritability, racing thoughts and paranoid delusions. I think more often than not the irritation, anger and paranoia are the main features for me. (I have bipolar 1)
Thank you! Sometimes I wonder if I'm having a manic spell, because I feel like things are going fast and are intense. However, after watching your video, you have reinforced my theory. My theory is that because my depression has made me think and act rather slowly, moving at a normal speed feels manic. I have been treated successfully for depression with both esketamine and ketamine, and I have noticed this feeling with both treatments. I've asked my sister sometimes if I look like I'm behaving in a manic way or moving too quickly, and she tells me that I'm not.
I didnt know i could be manic i got this alot when i was a child i still get them randomly and usually im a depressed
Wow, most videos like this I see I can only relate to maybe half of what they say its like. But, like seriously the money at the computer, spending insane amounts of time concentrated on something that is completely pointless, having a subject come up in conversation your really interested in and your brain proceeds to have a million and one different talking points all come out at once to anyone who will listen. The "i love you!" And then it changes to "What!". Spot on. I haven't exactly jogged down the street in my underwear during winter, but I definitely do and enjoy some very similar things while wearing less than that lmao great video
So accurate! Thanks so much and really appreciate your channel!
My psychosis induced mania made me feel like the happiest person alive, for a fleeting moment at least..
I love you!!
Diagnosed with most labels. Over many years of personal experience I know mania to be energy with no direction. Channel the energy and your mania turns into achievement. Easier said than done.
Thanks so much for talking about this. Much love ❤❤❤.
Yes. That's exactly how i feel. Thank you
Love that last part! I always ask myself how I ran around, for a week at a time, without a coat.
Thank you so much for this short! I'm a psychology student with an exam on DSM criteria coming up and this really helps memorize! 💕
So many children experiencing lots of problem on mental health I hope your videos educate people on how to manage the illness because early detection for teens and kids by educating is necessary to combat the illness. Personally I thank your vlog because it helped me thank you. Thank you.
Wow you did a really good job of explaining that. I am so hard to live with. But you know I wouldn't trade it for the world I guess thank you for being a mirror
This is such an awesome demonstration! Thank you! Please do a part two 😂
Such an accurate description, I was recently diagnosed with hypomania and bipolar disorder. I'm now learning to try to minimize my impulse spending habits and emotional control. Among many other things but you get the gist.
i love your videos and it definitely helps others like myself understand a disease i know nothing about… never judge anyone bc you never know what they are going thru … on the outside you look like an average person but on the inside i bet you don’t most days…. thank you for educating us and helping us understand mental illness cuz as a society we need to do better!!! prayers for you that you are doing well hun!
as someone with bipolar, but love your channel, thanks for making this. It's a great visual explanation of what I semi-regularly go through
I have Hashimotos so I do experience mania and I have no clue that I am manic I try to warn family and friends when I think a attack is coming Seeing this post it's like looking in the mirror You are not alone
As someone who used drugs while I was on respridon, I will say one mdma pill 300mg while stable. Is about what being manic while bipolar feels like at first, then it doesn’t stop. And builds into something more sinister kinda like a weird combo of dxm-or-Benadryl plus meth-or-coke the longer you stay up. Like I’m not exaggerating as someone who’s tried drugs being off my respridon is like a natural molly.
You are breaking barriers. Talk about creativity and genius
Omg I just got to the end of ur video. Completely so meeee #weeeeeee 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🤸♀️🤸♂️🤸🤩🤩🤩😊😊😊😊😊
You're so open, thank you!
Just like me now, I have now PURE MANIA!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤩😵 I act the same, look the same, feel the same and it's freaking AWESOME🤩 And still under control🙏 Not in psychosis
I’m sorry for your hot mess and so am I because I always go outside in the snow barefoot shorts I go through my manic disorders and the saddest thing is that I did not thank God pass it to my kids but unfortunately, I have two grandchildren who seem to be just like me, which fucking breaks my heart severely😢😢😢
I had a hypomanic episode last week. This is accurate, I felt on top of the words, a crazy amount of excitement and energy to where I just wanted to run around outside. I felt amazing and didn’t want it to end.
Thank you soooooo much for your content. I can’t tell you how much it helps me understand and I do very well perfectly actually and I know what my nephew was going threw. Still devestated over his death and I think I will never forget him til I’m buried next to him we long as I’m breathing my heart aches but atleast heart had good moments In between I guess. But thank you again
This one alone deserves a subscribe. I love the, I love you, to, what!?
This is incredible! You brought mania to life. Great job! You are amazing!!!
I feel you!!! Yes, if everyone would be honest with themselves I’m sure a lot of people feel this way some other time. Start the conversation.
I 100% agree, support and appreciate the content in this video.
I've struggled with depression most of my life and I know its probably terrible to say but I'd love to experience mania.
Thank you I’ve been happy for once in a long time and I have such self doubt that I was thinking maybe it’s not happiness but a disorder.
Facts!!❤😂
Such an accurate representation. You're awesome!!
I do two, spend, and get super excited over even grass moving.
Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge and helping breaking the stigma around mental health ❤
I’m glad that your channel exist because it make other to understand better
the high energy music is so valid 😂😭 in my mind my mania anthem its take on me by a-ha
Bro, my friend gmhave this. Back then, 6 years ago he used to get so upset, like verry easily, and sometimes he would escalet, once he punched me on the face because I accidentally kicked his soccer ball on a lake, he slapped my face and I punched his face back and and beated him up, I guess that was the first time someone reacted, today we are best friends.
I used to sit with a pen and a piece of paper and just write over and over any words that I heard until the whole paper was covered. Mum said it looked like it was possessed but I loved those pages like messy memories in time
that's me 24/7/365 but I've been told I'm a high energy person ! but it looks the same and feels the same
That was awesome! I'm bipolar rapid cycling coupled with auditory and visual disturances. I appreciate your disposition and honesty.
That’s such a good depiction 💚
Facts.. I wish you showed the opposite. Cuz when I'm manic I'm cleaning, not making verbal sense and would rather be alone. I work with a bunch of people, so when Im having an episode at work.. "I'm busy".. most my coworkers know not to stop me from cleaning.. I've been stopped before and I spent most of the day in my own world.
I haven't been diagnosed with anything, but I go through periods like this. I am able to tell that it is happening, so I am able to largely keep it in check, but this video PERFECTLY describes what it feels like to me.
I know i shouldn't be (God knows there's plenty of bad that comes with it), but i was always a little jealous of mania.
I went through my mid-life crisis right after my mother and grandmom died.... and it took all that to not feel bad about replacing my wardrobe despite everything being super old and not meant for the climate at my current location. I can't order takeout without feeling massively guilty about spending money.... although i suppose nowadays that costs more money than clothing to begin with. On top of that, i feel exhausted all the time. The idea of feeling on top of the world and needing little sleep sounds so amazing, but I'm guessing they feel even worse when they come down.
Thank you for being open about it. It’s very hard for me to explain to people what a manic episode is like.
Thank you for your honesty, truth, and courage. ❤
I am finding going bike riding is really helping. I am not sure what I have because Ive never been thoroughly diagnosed but my mood can be so labile sometimes. Thank God I am finding healthy outlets and I am seeing a therapist. Still working on impulsivity.
My hubby deals with bipolar and this is MY experience of him in mania. I have never felt it but it is very much like this agitated and over energetic and excited. Well done!
