Awesome points and very relatable....hope everything is going well for you.

I identify hard with your arguments, thanks for sharing.

Take care, apreciate your videos, thanks .

Are you still in a relationship?

Im freaking loving it, it works for me, you guys gotta get stronger on trial and error, do not let docs give you a cocktail just find the one med till you need it!! from this video I get you got pharmaceutical abuse or staff, keep your brain sane, loose of memory is dangerous cause if you forget you took a dose you will double or triple up and end up intoxicated

I’m in a relationship with someone with bipolar it’s the best relationship Iv ever had. A selfish person wouldn’t last 2 min. Just love the person and forget about the illness

ahh thank you sm for this video you covered everything I was trying to understand! someone I know recently told me that the hat man hallucination came back into her life and since then she has seemed to be showing delusions she denies having bipolar but im scared she’s slipping into psychosis?

Omg the time thing. I recently was manic and I had a very similar experience with time!!! It was tripping me out. I even started putting objects in specific places too to see if they would move.

It’s demons

Do You. We will be here when your ready❤

You got this

Do what you have to do, we'll be here when you get back. Enjoy your break!

Take care. Do what's best for you. We'll be here. ❤

Im no physician, so im not trying to tell you what’s right or what you should do. It’s important to weigh what this is doing to you, compared to not using it. How do you feel without it? I dont want to see you hurting, take it slow. Many times its just ok to be you. Of course i dont know at all what you’re going through mental illness wise, and I have no idea how serious it is, but don’t let meds do more damage than help. Ill pray for you right now to turn out well, and that the right meds work for you the right way. Love, Rev. Jeff Dishong

It took me over a decade to finally accept my MDD diagnosis, went through denial, anger and self medicating with alcohol. I finally started taking antidepressants and therapy. I just scared now as I lost all my 20s and early 30s to this. Lost relationships and careers, so now am starting again at 36.

Great info! I thought I knew boundaries, but there's a lot to learn. Thanks!

My bf is in contact with me (minimally) but he's in isolation. He's been stuck in a depression (switch click on) since last July. We love each other so much. It hurts my heart that I can't fix bi-polar. He's BP2. What are some things I could do during isolation? I don't pressure him and he knows I love him and I'm here. ❤

In my experience, it seem that suggesting ANYTHING to a lover with bipolar never ends well

It seems a lot of women with bipolar illness need ir expect a partner who is always on point, perfect in every way, and is a mind reader. Basically a man with super human intuition, and more than typically submissive to her needs and or outbursts. Thoughts please?

Glad everything is going alright! It seems like the transition to a new job and new state has gone well, happy for you

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Take care :)

Congratulations on 1k subs💐

Thank you for sharing your reviews on the medications. My doctor gave me a free trial of LYBALVI. It immediately made me dizzy and it knocked me out for hours and hours. Bed ridden. I’m still sleepy. 😪

Good content. I feel that insight has to come before understanding. But, bipolar, from my experience and knowledge, typically has poor insight or good insight. Most have limited insight, which is why we stop our meds ... because nothing is wrong. Then, there's also a continuum of symptoms, and people fall in it wherever they land. My most recent manic episode was in early 2018. I was manic for 4 months straight. The meds did finally bring me back to reality, but you can't really have insight when that manic. I had no idea I was hallucinating all day, all night. It took 3 years to completely stabilize. And, i still do not have insight into what exactly was going on, but I now know i was hallucinating, but sometimes I really can't tell. I only know because others told me and the docs told me, not because I had insight or understanding.

Hey there, congratulations on your video and channel. It's truly impactful for many. I resonate with your journey as I too navigate bipolar disorder and ADHD comorbidities. It's been quite the uphill battle, but I've found stability over the past year by diligently following my psychiatrist and psychologist's guidance. It's transformed my life, proving that a fulfilling, "normal" life is achievable with the right support and commitment to self-care. I want to emphasize the importance of maintaining regular sessions with both your psychologist and doctor. Never underestimate the power of this dual support system. Remember, you're never alone in this. Your resilience is inspiring, and though I'm thousands of miles away in South America, I genuinely wish you continued progress and wellness. I personally find great solace in my weekly sessions with my psychologist and monthly visits to my doctor. It's a routine that grounds me and fosters growth. With the right medication and therapy, I've been able to be incredibly productive. As an attorney, I work extensively, and yes, with treatment, it's entirely possible to live a better life. Keep pushing forward, and know that every step counts. Your channel has truly resonated with me, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to connect, despite the distance. Wishing you all the best on your journey.

Once you start Olanzapine, the longer you take it the more impossible it is to get off

Great points! You must be doing a lot of good helping others at your job with this level of insight into mental illness

It's a lot to cover and probably needs like a vid series. Good to note that smoking also affects drug levels. And, very important regarding trying to get pregnant or is pregnant.

Yeah.. Good job. Mental Health Practitioner? Like a nurse practitioner? I guess it could be countertransference. I'm glad it's going well so far. It's hard changing providers. Paying out of pocket has it's benefits, mainly confidentiality.

I don't have a specific plan other than for family to hospitalize me if needed and keep enough money saved to survive a manic episode/at least 6-12 months worth. I want some kind of insurance to cover paying bills in case I'm temporarily disabled d/t a manic episode. It's nice to see you two together and smiling. What exactly is the new job?

It's nice to see you smiling and cheerful. It looks like you are doing well.

ITS SO NICE TO SEE YOU DOING SO WELL CONGRATS!!!!

what kind of work do you do for the 40 hr / wk role? 🎉

Congratulations 🎉🎉

Doctors are payed to drug their patients up and keep them coming back. Not heal them and let them live a beautiful life. They lease a shitty car to them and keep them coming back

Great video! Thanks for taking so much effort to put it together. It's helpful to have your personal experience with the different medications. I responded really well to lithium and olanzapine

The one thing that I'm always wondering is how it looks to others. I can only see it from the inside out, I don't know how it looks from the outside in.

I have Tom Cruise administer the E meter for my bipolar. Kidding!

I took medication once. Wellbutrin...they thought my bipolar was depression...and I hated it. I did feel better in many ways, but also felt like I was on speed, my insomina grew to titanic proptions and I didn't feel like me. Like my mind was changed.I take NO (mental) medications and will never again. I eschew processed foods for the most part only eat fresh fruits and vegetables, I love lean protein, and I exercise, and I reflect constantly, and always think before anything...yes, still have problems, I still HULK out, and yes I still feel, barring reason, disspossed and crazy...though I realize I have an uncurable affliction, I've had since birth, and now I take steps back, use my mind. GET OFF THE DRUGS! They make you not you! Am I right? Who knows, not doing well but please don't lie to yourself and take drufs...medicartion is "drugs" and you are being hand fed them. I wish you the greatest life ever, and you to live a long happy, fruitful life!

Try some vitamins maybe that will help you.

Hello from indiana

❤

Yay for the 1k! 😁

Congrats on 1k subscribers! Your life updates and bipolar advice are both interesting, keep it coming and this channel will keep growing!

You're new to the job, and you have anxiety. Give it time and it will be route in no time. You earned where you are, you're just stumbling a little because of circumstances that you can't control. You'll be fine, then you'll be great. Job have faith in yourself.

Congratulations!! Keep doing what your doing! You make 'em, I'll watch 'em.

You gave me the answer ... if he isnt willing to be committed to his health, there is nothing I can do. He is untreated diagnosed bipolar and watching him suffer has been breaking my heart . I haven't know how to help and have tried everything I can. Thank you for this video, I believe it's up to him now to decide to get help ..

So happy for you two🎉
