    I've been in denial for years over the diagnosis. Within 5 years, I was diagnosed GAD, MDD, ADHD, and finally Bipolar 2 and ADHD. I maxed out on zoloft and ended up having a psychotic episode where I ended up so sick that I lost tons of weight and was violently ill. Finally treating the ADHD really helped but I still cycle into deep bouts of depression. About a week ago, I went into a deep depression one night and I was forced to see it- which led me here some how. I sleep on average 2-3 hours a night now for months at a time, but im never tired regardless. Just want to say thank you for both of your willingness to be a light in my darkness, and for the first time ever listening to you both makes me feel hope for myself. Keep doing what your doing, you are both amazing.

    Thank you so much for your content! I have Bipolar 2 disorder as well and often feel so isolated. Your videos are so helpful

    I live very rural but I can relate to both of you so closely in this episode. I only drive to my parents and work. Even as a passenger, I panic. This started when I was pregnant with my daughter. I've always been afraid of parking, so I always parked in the most open spot in any parking lot and avoided parking garages like the plague. Glad to know I'm not the only one. Others look at me like I'm dumb.
