With each video of this that I watch I think more about how I definitely have bipolar disorder. My mother doesn't know this but I think with her being bipolar she accidentally taught me how to hide my feelings. And when it gets bad to at least hide them long enough to where no body can see me. If I do have bipolar then it is the type 1 if I'm being honest. I'd like to say type two but I need to be real, I have a history of destructiveness that would explain why I didn't think I had manic episodes. It was because I went outside and grabbed whatever I could find to throw beat or destroy until I could barely stand up anymore. I've certainly found out that sugar makes my balance go off very easily. If I have more than the recommended amount I get. manic. And I normally don't have sugar very much. Like, if had a pop tart that would be the only added sugar I would have that day. In fact until the last three days my sugar intake has been less than 50 and closer to less than 30% of the daily recommended amount. My body doesn't handle sugar in high amounts well. It's wierd though, I think I've been going through another episode lately. Everytime I ate food I would get sick. I was able to keep it all down but I didn't want to. I felt almost disgusted by food and I would barely eat over 1000 calories a day.
Anyways, I think way faster than I can type or much less speak because I rarely talk to people. Even when on the phone I will just sit there and think to myself and then people ask me why I haven't said anything. Woah! Look at me telling everyone stuff they don't care about! Not like anyone is gonna read this anyway. And if I told anyone who knows me they would say I'm being emotional or that I'm just a teenager and I need more sun.
Screw that, I already know that I'm a burden to people without them knowing I have problems. When the day comes that I will live by myself, my episodes will no longer be so repressed. I won't have people near me to think about protecting or worry about. I can feel it, whatever security deposit I have will not be getting refunded. Ha! But we will see! Or at least me and God will! Not like anyone else has done the diggin! But seriously, I think I need help

I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder this year. When I was in junior high school, there were news of cruelty happening on other countries and it was really affecting me emotionally big deal. When I shared that to my classmates, they interpreted it as me being scared for my own safety so they told me not to worry since the incident happened at the other side of the world. I was shocked with their response. I mean, it might have been at the other side of the world but people still died which is enough reason to be sad. That really made me realize that I get emotionally triggered rather deeply by events around me. It was actually really overwhelming to be flooded with emotions and sometimes, being emotional is interpreted as weakness. I had anhedonia which was a total opposite of having overwhelming emotions and that shift from feeling a lot of emotions to suddenly being hollow made me suffer a lot. I couldn't adjust well and I didn't feel motivated with life for a really long time.

I've been diagnosed with bipolar disorder 2 years ago but it still doesn't make sense to me because I'm super depressive and never felt mania or hypomania, before that all mi diagnostics were depression with several psychiatrist and psychologist but this is the first time with this new diagnosis. I'm an illustrator but i'm not a creative person at all like I cant create stories so I cant make comics even though I eould really like to and really hace trouble having ideas of what to draw next, even my boyfriend who is also (and way better) illustrator have said that Im not creative to me so it makes no sense to me my diagnosis (and in this therapy I've been with a psychiatrist and 3 psychologist and non of them have doubted my diagnosis. I have compassion and empathy out of that list but nothing else. If my diagnosis is correct then at least I would like to have creativity too it would be soooo useful for my career

I want to test for diagnosis but I'm too chicken to ask my dad to take me to a psychiatrist, he probably just gonna say try to get out of it. I've known and felt something's definitely wrong but not what exactly for quite a long time now. I get manic with my interests every while and then and it's followed by a burnout and lack of energy and disinterest in everything. I really feel I cannot cope with it anymore alone. the mental issues keep subconsciously building up and I have a hard time maintaining friendships even. forget about relationships, those never lasted past 2 days and now I steer clear off them. I thought I was getting better in life but maybe it's all headed for the worse.
Sorry for my rant; -; idk what to do or what to say

Man, after seeing this video, Im like 95% sure I have this. Growing up, Ive always had (and still have) anger issues and my parents and siblings never let an interaction with me go by without reminding me how overly sensitive I am even if they say something straight up rude that I would never say to anyone else. If I find out I made someone feel bad or uncomfortable, I feel like an awful person and instantly want to do whatever I can to make them feel better. Also, I really like connecting with people emotionally and Im pretty quick to feel a great deal of love for them. I have many problems to work on but my overly sensitive nature has definitely made me a better person overall (least I hope so.
Anyways, awesome video! Thank you

I thankfully have friends who kinda understand my bipolar situation. They dont get upset if something is wrong but I cant help myself to smile (they actually usually try and change the topic when they see me happy because they know it does get awkward for me later) and are helpful when something good has happened and Im scared. But I had to dump a friend reacently because she didnt understand and care about it = I was in class one day and I got randomly mad and she noticed. She asked what was wrong but I just growled under my breath. She decided to not give up even after I told her to. I ended up yelling at her. but since I have a cool teacher who knows about my problem o didnt get I. Trouble

Appreciate youre videos but Im going to disagree. Got a bipolar parent thats very abusive, controlling and down right treats me and my other siblings like children even though we are all in our 20s and my step parent is also very abusive and delusional with bipolar. I know it sounds harsh to say but literally every bipolar person I have came across has been abusive in some form or another and also growing up with a bipolar parent I find it difficult to find any happiness when Im with them. Im just speaking the truth and I know a lot of people hate the truth but I rather be honest about my opinions rather than lying and saying everything is fine.

It's great to see someone who has the disorder talking about it but i have a few issues. 1, I don't like the word disease when it comes to it because it creates a bad stigma. 2. bipolar disorder is not a fun thing to have, and it certainly isn't what gives you all of this. Sure, it might help strengthen these 5 things, but it doesn't give you them. This video is glamorizing bp and making it seem like it's a positive thing to have when it actually has cost me so much happiness, time, love, relationships and way more

This is great if you have the support you need or the medical resources you can afford to have the right medications. I've seen nasty comments already on here and it's offed up that people judge someone over something they can't control. Bipolar doesn't automatically mean someone is an asshole. I like how this video focuses on some good points about being bipolar but it really is hard to navigate without proper treatment and support.

Beautiful, but dangerous video. NO MENTAL ILLNESS CAN BE NEGLECTED. Bipolar can do all this nice things, BUT it can't go untreated.
I speak about my own experience, go to the doctor, do your psychotherapy and control the disease. If you don't, you will not get any of this benefits, or you can take some but with a cost too much high.

without meaning to disrespect you or hurt your feelings or be insensitive. I am living with someone with bipolar disorder and have done so for the past 4 years. And I can honestly say regarding my bipolar disorder roommate, there is 0% (in fact -100%) nothing good about bipolar disorder. It is all bad.

Manic episodes usually lead to make big impulsive decisions. I like to look at as those are things that I never would have done otherwise. Things like randomly moving across the country, or going back to school. In a way, my bipolar disorder helped me make some fantastic life decisions.

Even though I really aren't a positive person and I always think of the worst side of things, I'm kinda lucky that having this disorder helps me understand more about depression and other mental illness. I basically study my own behavior, wich is cool because I really like psychology.

Have you considered doing a video on cyclothymia? It's basically bipolarity's less severe little sibling. I think I might have cyclothymia, my mother told me I might have it (she's always reading about psychology and things like that, and I have pretty much all the symptoms.

Bipolar is not a positive experience. It's a terrible disorder. It's not worth it I can promise you that. I go from wanting to die, to aggressive mania, to full blown psychosis. Not to mention weeks of complete sleep deprivation. And racing thoughts. My medicine saves me

Nothing is all bad Pollyanna; but it's overwhelmingly bad and life destroying for many. And yes, there are artists and stuff, but we can't say that it's because they were bipolar, instead if they were healthy they were going to be better at their jobs.

My therapist told me I have BPD and she's studying the possibility of me having mixed bipolar episodes like ciclothymia. I started medication recently hope I get better though. I really don't see the point of life at all. Don't even know why I'm here.
