I would like to know what's it's like not to have bipolar.

I seriously hate being bipolar. Watching people like you help make it more tolerable. I appreciate you so much. Thank you.

"Whats wrong with you" "Why are you like this" jesus all the memories of that. Paranoia always has been there. As I get older it doesn't change. It only intensifies.

My ex-daughter in law is Bi-polar, all I knew of her was the better part of her moods that’s when she and my son came to visit us. She was very pleasant and kind. Too bad I did not understand or know anything about this health problem, I just pretended ? that it did not exist (did not want to make her feel like she was different) and in fact did not know one think about it, all I knew was the meaning of the name Bi-polar ...extremes of emotional moods. I remember once I called them on the phone to say hi! And she was having a bad day she was sad and could not stop crying, I talked to her kindly and recommended her to make herself a little camomile tea. It breaks my heart that nor my son nor us as a family understood what was happening to her. Now I just miss her very much bc she and my son are not longer together.😢🌷💕

I can only speak to what it’s like to have had a (now deceased) partner who suffered from bipolar and to how this made my chronic severe unipolar depression far far worse. Having said that, I accepted their illness for what it was and remained supportive and loyal despite them exhibiting the very opposite during manic episodes. I look forward to the day when truly effective treatments are available for all mood disorders, because psychiatrists and their insufficient pharmaceuticals are still not yet up to the task (despite their exorbitant fees).

People literally used to ask me if I was taking drugs like meth, because constantly talking 'at' people for a few days then withdrawing for weeks or more isn't normal, at least not to me. It took other people recognise that something is wrong. It's just like what you describe in the video, really good analogy.

Oh my gosh hearing how you describe this literally breaks my heart! I can’t imagine living like that. My heart goes out to everyone who lives with this horrible disorder!! Thank you for explaining this to us so we can better understand what bipolar sufferers go through!

I thought I was the only one that started out on top and by mid afternoon I'm done in bed and crying. It's so hard.

What hurt a lot was when my parents said things similar to “Can’t you just pull up your bootstraps and get over this”, even though I’d been through treatment. Before I was diagnosed, it was even harder for this overachiever to accept I no longer had control myself and was becoming a “loser”.

I was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder 2 last year. It was scary but it also was great putting a name to how I feel. I looked back and saw how inconsistent things like success and failure were in my life. I always thought I was lazy or undisciplined. Now with meds and therapy I've been having more normalcy in my life. Meds and therapy aren't a cure but they can be a great assistance. Now I surround myself with positive people and practice mindfulness and exercise as well. I've noticed exercise helps even when I feel like getting out of bed feels like climbing a mountain. Anyway thanks for the resource. It's nice knowing we aren't alone.

I met a girl that I started to really like. Some of her behaviour was confusing to me at first, and she had mentioned feelings of depression. Eventually she told me about being bi polar and since then I have been watching your videos in an attempt to better understand the situation. I care about her a lot and accept her as she is, I know it’s difficult for her everyday. I wish I could help, but I can’t really so trying to understand and learn is the best I can do. Thank you for the information, you explain things very well.

THIS. THIS THIS THIS!!! THANK YOU for making this video. I suffer from rapid cycling bipolar 1, and I don't use the term "suffer" lightly. I stay completely isolated aside from work, and work is a special kind of hell because only a couple coworkers know I'm bipolar, but they are clueless as to what that actually entails. I'm definitely sharing this on all of my social media platforms. Thank you again SO SO much.

Wow this was so validating. I feel like my depression is like past the point that most people understand. I feel really alone and this just made me feel so validated. Thank you

Me, age 29, recent,y diagnosed with bipolar: This isn’t... normal??? Mentally healthy people... don’t... experience this...? Man, this is just my normal day to day life since I can remember. I can’t fathom what not being mentally ill must be like.

I cried from this.. thank you. It feels like no one understands me and I’ve been fighting this for so long. Thank you

That is a crazy accurate metaphor for the emotional storm that comes up. I am bipolar 2, and its awful how difficult it is to deal with the flood of emotion than can come about from absolutely nothing but a thought. Trying to tell people this is impossible, they don't understand that they may snap out of it quickly, but mine stays around for days and weeks. It's easier to isolate from them and just deal with it on my own than to hear their reasons why I'm so upset or manically depressed.

Thank you for describing it so I can understand it better. My son Matthew had Bipolar 1 and I remember being angry with him for his decisions before his diagnosis and I was always so worried and confused for him. He struggled for two years after being on and off meds. He took his life two years ago and left a letter for us. I pray everyone here stays strong. It is the worst thing to see your child go through this and after the regret and guilt is unbearable. God bless everyone.

I was in denial about my bpd for a long time. I felt ashamed, like something wrong with me. The only thing that's helped me to accept myself and manage my mental health is listening to other people's experience with bpd. Thank you so so much for sharing this video. For taking the time to really talk about your experience and be so real
