Hopeful for the future | Cyclothymia diagnosis story
I'm hopeful for the future, but still not even close to perfection! I feel like I'm bad at talking about most stuff, but especially difficult and multi-faceted topics like mental illness. But I try to speak according to my own experience (even though I've left out some things because this is hard and the camera got me super anxious). Oh well. I hope this clears things up at least a little bit. Thank you so much for the continued support and love. I can not express how it touches my heart every time I see a nice message or comment. xx Em

I'm still here | What depression feels like
มุมมอง 1615 ปีที่แล้ว
I've always struggled with my mental health, and for as long as I can remember I've felt guilty and embarrassed over feeling the way that I do. I've allowed my negative thoughts fester inside me until I just couldn't take it anymore. In December 2018 I finally made the phone call to the hotline and got some help. It's been a slow process, but I am finally able to return to these moments of utte...

If you think I'm boring without background music, at least skip ahead to 13:05 because that's the best part.

Film screenings and other irrational fears

eehh hi. Last Thursday my short film was screened as a part of a film festival and it was scary, because I'm always afraid of things I shouldn't be afraid of.

I wrote a song for someone I've never met

I recorded this in the middle of the night some time ago and that's why I'm kinda whisper-singing and my voice sounds a bit tired.

She Brings the Light | Sankta Lucia 🕯️ Swedish Christmas Song
มุมมอง 7375 ปีที่แล้ว
The Lucia tradition is very strong in Sweden, although it originates from Sicily, Italy. Every year on the 13th of December, kids in schools dress in white and carry candles in what's called a Luciatåg ("Lucia train" 😁). As I'm now living in Finland, I've lost touch of most Swedish traditions, but I hope I can change that, small steps at a time. I wish you all a happy Lucia day! 🐌 Thank you for...

I am Em | Introduction 🍄 StoryworldofEm
actually I have a question, if you would want to talk about it. I also have very rapidly changing moods, exactly the way you described, but I've also had like longer periods of depression. Did you get both long terms of depression (like months) and shorter terms (like a few days) too?
you are sooo beautiful and brave! I am also thinking that I have cyclothymia so I wanted to research it and I'm so glad I found you! You seem like a very genuine and amazing person, thank you so much explaining everything!
I used this year and last to wake up and have good days energetic and happy and bad deprssed days...they say its just depression I dont know what to do...I feel I was misdiagnosed...can cyclothymia turn into major depression?I feel so confused for 2 years
Beautiful and tender 🙏🏻 Saint Lucy pray for us.
Thank you! 🌸
i really appreciate you sharing. i relate sooo much! i hope you're doing well. 🌸
You are such a Beautiful and Brave Girl! Your story really resonates with me. I lost my mom and sister, I struggle socially. I was just diagnosed with Cyclothymia last month, but I’ve had it my whole life. It feels so good to have a true diagnosis and be on the right medications for it. I finally have a reason to exist. Good Luck to you!
What medication are you on if I may ask. I was also diagnosed and was on Topomax, although it worked it made me feel dumb and affected my job. Need help finding the right medication, mental health care in my country is poor.
Thank you so much for this kind comment! I've also dealt with loss and struggled so much with making friends and having lasting connections with people. It's tough to deal with those things on top of having your mind be a constant, unending rollercoaster. Congratulations on your diagnosis and finding the right medication! It's such a relief to finally receive the help you need, and to finally be able to better understand and be empathetic towards yourself through a diagnosis. Good luck to you too!!
I struggle a lot socially too. It’s sucks.
thank you for your video, i really feel similar to you so its feels good to know im not alone... ( ive been diagnosed in the same conditions as you and loves the same things as you ) You look like you're an amazing person keep on going ! you got this
So helpful! I needed this ❤️
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching and commenting!! ✨☺️
hope ur doing well!
It’s is LITERALLY… how I’m feeling right now. Like I just stumbled upon this gem called audio journaling. I feel u!! ❤️

Ty for sharing this💖
Hi! thanks for sharing that, is very helpful. I have a dear friend who is been diagnosed with Cyclohtymia and i am trying hard to understand her. If you can help me understand some of it is very appriciated, i do care a lot for this person! I would like to know if there can be some sort of manipulative behaviour due to hypomania, and cognitive distortion when depress or feel attacked. Meaning she has the tendency to manipulate and push people arround to obtain favours (she is awere of that), also she would somethimes lie about facts or sligtly distort them, when under pressure, confronted or mad at me. Is this something you are familiar with? Thank you again
just to say..i don't really know you but you seems a very kind and sweet soul. Hope your life surprise you with amazing things, despited the bad. wish you the best. Thanks for sharing!
As far as I know that's not a sign of cyclothymia, probably her way of coping. Or she could have the wrong diagnosis or another one. There's also people who have both bipolar and borderline personality disorder. I am not saying that's it, but the manipulation I think isn't a sign of cyclothymia. You could always Google it or ask her.
@@writerwannabe8778 thanks for your feedback. i did ask to few friends psychologist and it turned out to be like you said some personality disorder. Tendency to adopt lies, controlling behaviour and manipulation as strategy to relate to problems and people, do to lack of empathy and difficulty in conceptualizing the other. It can be a consequence of bipolar issue, if the person doesnt develope better problem solving strategies, self extime ar emotional regulation skills. I can see now how difficult it is to cope with all that
Hey dear, thank you so much for sharing, you are incredibly brave, strong and beautiful! It's been a while since you posted this, how have you been coping recent years? How are you now?
thank you so much for sharing 🥺💕
I was just diagnosed today and found your video and channels. I noticed you haven’t posted in over a year. I hope you’re okay! ❤️
Hi! Yeah, it was rough there for a while, but I'm doing much better now and being more hopeful once more. I'm also now working on my first video in YEARS and it's both scary and incredibly rewarding and exciting!! Thank you so much for commenting. I hope you are well! ❤
I recently got diagnosed with cyclothymia, and I totally resonate with you!!! You are brave and strong for being open. It's a relief to know I'm not the only one who feels the way you described

You are such a strong person! I’m proud of you for talking about this. And encouraging people with your story! Big big hugs!
I appreciate your explanation and experience. I am trying to figure out what my brain is doing and I’ve been researching cyclothymia and it feels like I may have found one is going on. So, thank you for doing a hard thing and sharing your experience.

Hi, thank you for sharing the video. You are the female version of me in every way. My name is Ame, I wonder if you spell your name with an A or E. If you want to add me on FB: Ame Chindoo-Roy. I subscribed to your page and liked 😊 Greetings from Wales. Sorry but I laughed and felt a tear while watching the video.
Thank you sharing your with us. Hope you feel so happy for all.
Thank you for sharing.
I thought cyclothymia would not go so deep down, sounds like your depression was a full blown one.
cyclothymia does not determine shallower depressions, but rather shallower manic phases called hypomania ONLY. You can have very severe depression, but if you do not experience full blown mania in which you experience psychosis, then you are cyclothymic, not bipolar.
@@zXJulianXz This is incorrect. You just described bipolar 2. You can have cyclothymia with very severe depression but that would mean you have "double depression". As in a depression on top of the depression from your cyclothymia.
@@SomeOne-tc5rq you're right. I had my definition muddled. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Authentic 🌿💚🌿
Do you ever feel neutral?
I almost cried watching this. I have never related to a video as much as this one. Trying to figure out if I have cyclothymia. I am almost 21 years old and since I have ASD my parents are very overbearing and claim I am not bipolar/cyclothymic and I misinterpret everything. but I know myself better than my parents know me and I have been doing research and I am 90 percent sure I have it. I cannot get diagnosed and the help I need since I am on my parents' insurance and they will not help me get what I need and cannot drive either to get where I need :/ Glad you are doing well!
I can totally relate to you, hang in there babe ❤️
This is my exact situation 😞
Oh, that must be so difficult for you and I'm so sorry. I'm also sorry for taking forever to reply to you, and I wholeheartedly hope that you have found more understanding and had someone truly listen to you and help you now. You deserve to receive the help and support you need ❤
Thank you for sharing your story! Never expected to hear anybody say “I need potatoes” in this sort of video hahaha. I hope you are doing okay right now!
*hugs* 💜💜💜
Thank you! ❤️❤️
Proud of you ❤️always here supporting you on your journey, thanks for being an inspiration!!
Thank you so much! You're so lovely! You have no idea how much that means to me! ❤️❤️
I am sooooooo happy for you. Standing up and getting help just shows how much powerful and inner strength and strong will you have. Like a Phoenix you rose from the ashes and now you will touch the great skies.
Thank you so much and super sorry for the late reply ❤️ I love the story of the Phoenix, it's a good analogy for what rising out of depression is like :)
I am very happy for you. I want you to know that inner love is a good kind, and so is outer love, and in this world, sometimes we have to nudge others and teach them how to love us back. It's worth the effort. I remember being suicidal when I was young. I'm glad I didn't do it, because I get to meet people like you, people who simply try to love and share, and that makes you worth a thousand times more than diamonds.
Thank you!! It's hard to be honest and put all those "undesirable" parts of yourself out in the world, but if it helps others around us feel less alone (even if they won't to do the same) then it's all worth it. We're all basically struggling or have been struggling in the past, and it doesn't make it easier to pretend that everything is perfect. It's perfectly okay to not always be okay, and saying it out loud makes the burden easier to carry. Happier days will come! Hugs :)

In December 2018 I finally made the phone call to the helpline and got some help. It's been a slow process, but I am finally able to return to these moments of utter despair and self hatred and reflect. I can finally feel love for myself and gratefulness towards the girl who reached out and said: "I can't do this on my own anymore." For so long, my mind has been SO ill. And for SO long, I saw no hope, no light, no help. I want this series to be a beacon of hope and inspiration and motivation for any of you who are feeling down, stuck or lost. It does get better. It always helps to know that you are not alone. I hope that we can discuss creativity & mental illness, share success stories and inspire each other. xxx Em Here's to a lifetime of adventures, happiness and incredible stories!

Welcome to AuthorTube! omg I love that wolf so much... it's so cute. HOORAY FOR SCREENWRITERS!!! My original career goal was to pursue screenwriting, but I got very jaded by the film industry, haha... anyway, I think that novels and screenwriting have so much in common, and doing both can really help everyone's skills. I just subscribed!! I'm looking forward to being AuthorTube friends
Hahah the wolf is the best :D Thank you so much!! Oh yeah, the film industry... Honestly, on most days I wish I could just drop out of film school and only be a novelist. But I'll have to do the film thing until I sell enough books that can quit. It's a great motivator though, because my personality doesn't deal with stress or the film biz pressure very well, so if the author dream doesn't work out my brain will implode, haha. But I've learned some incredible things to implement in book writing from screenwriting, so I don't regret the experience :)
