Then where is the advocacy when the sufferer is a visible, ethnic minority? Is it still ' that's just how they are '? Frankly, that's the diagnosis (loosely) that visible, ethnic minorities received most to all, of the time when we ( ethnic minorities ) made claims of mental instability that we noticed early.

The trama they inflict on everyone they meet.🤔😏

I’m 49. 988 hotline saved me from suicide. And a podcast made me look for the right help. I don’t know how the future is going to be, but for now it’s a relieve to be aware I’m bipolar. It explains so much…. And lessens the guilt. Maybe I’m not a horrible person, just maybe I might have a chance and see my kids grow up…..😢

Has anyone here heard about a Late Onset of Bipolar Disorder? It refers to being diagnosed as suffering from BD after 50 years of age. Thanks .

>:((

boyfriends leave you

I was diagnosed with bipolar 1 some months ago...but my parents are in denial

❤️🧡💛

Gabe’s speech is too manic and is overwhelming me. The content is helpful but way too jammed up with anecdotes and random thoughts. Remember your audience are all at various levels of filtering what you say. I find you very sincere though. Thx for your efforts. ❤

Years? Psychadellics have been here since the beginning of time

I hit myself and scratch myself, hold my breath until I can't stand it anymore, all to stop thinking that my parents will yell at me. OCD is not a simple thing and is not always associated with “imaginary germs”. This video is offensive because I would give anything just to have this in the form of washing my hands more than cutting myself with scissors when people even accidentally touch me.

You don’t have to have gone through abuse, neglect, or trauma to have bpd. I didn’t but then again I have schyzotypal, borderline, histrionic, obsessive compulsive disorder and obsessive compulsive personality disorder. I can remember having symptoms as a toddler when I remember my early childhood. I believe all of mine were genetic because I was raised in an extremely loving household. Sometimes it’s genetic. The amygdala being smaller, very low levels of magnesium in red blood cells, among other things.

It’s just a TNS unit with deeper reaching probes

I just need to know for sure what does that mean okay when my brain switches to like bad bad flashbacks of really horrible trauma abuse and violence things like that and I can't I don't snap out of it completely just yet and it's like I'm in a trance and I can't get out of it for a while it takes a minute and all most of my life I was told to just get over it and just deal with it and then being told that all I deserved was tough love it'll make you stronger is what they say no it makes you more like isolated it takes me a minute to make myself snap out of it but it happens just anywhere and I could just be like not even knowing where I'm at what I'm doing or what I'm talking to even if I know them if I don't recognize their face because literally my brain just shuts off for a moment and then goes into a bad flashback

Contrasting environments for sure

Wow this was awesome!!

I have my 10 year old in therapy for over 2 years now. I’m in therapy. It’s healthy to an objective person help you accomplish mental well being. If something is wrong with that then so be it. BPD is triggered by the people around them. Being a part of my son environment so his environment is stable. It’s the biggest best genius hack. I love it! I support it.

HAND GESTURING IN ANGLOSAXON CELTIC CULTURE, IS DISGUSTING AND RUDE.

GET TO THE POINT !

My fiance xheated on me the other day and he said his instincts took over because she was in the bed with him but i was five feert away on the opposite side of the couch. Hes partially blaming the bpd and cuz he was raped by a male coach 7-16 and his mom jad Munchausen byproxy so she neglected him terribly. Idk if i should let that be a thing that keeps me from leaving him. We been together 4 years

Thank you for your service, transparency, experience, strength and hope. I have 10years & 3 months clean of meth. Your channel keeps me motivated daily. There needs to be more people like you.

do some live q&a streams

They need to change the name. They really, really need to change the name. Also, the trauma component means it's not entirely down to functions of personality. There's almost always a mood disorder component. "Borderline" psychotic is an old fashioned name and it has nearly the same stigma as sociopath.

Really helpful in my understanding of bipolar. Thank you for sharing your story.

I thought opiates were invented/discovered in China.. the opium wars?? ACTUAL opium tea? lol you said civil war, that’s waaay after😂

Been clean and sober since 10/18/2011...the day my daughter was born. She saved my life. I love you Stormy!

1.6% my a$$. It's defo higher than that. Easily in the 20%

I got accupuncture on my stomach and have been dealing with soreness for over 2 months now. Smh. Never again!

This is a stereotypical view of ocd and is offensive! There are many other types of ocd, like how i have symmetry ocd. I hate rearranging things and i dont check things 1 bagillion times. I cant use a lot of soap because of a mild allergy i have. You need to read all these comments and STOP MAKING FUN OF DISORDERS WHEN THERE ARE MANY TYPES. I recommend (for ocd videos) showing as many types of ocd as possible so it contains most the symptoms, and stop spreading misinformation

As someone who does not have the label of BPD yet but highly highly knows I do have it I’m just working with drs on that. I’m in a DBT IOP program and this years been a bad year. So much is happening and going on and it’s been a lot. I’m a lot like Dr Courtney in the way I like to learn about myself to better myself and everything said is my experience. I drink beacause I feel too much and sometimes it hurts too much. Things like that. I’m very much neurodivergent. Diagnosed ADHD undiagnosed Autism. Being neurodivergent is the root for 95% of my trauma. This was so informative to watch and I’ll listen again on my drive to IOP tomorrow.

99% of all mental health illnesses come from childhood trauma of some sort

Great interview, thank you both!

Well, at least my depression went away!

I might have this then. 😢

This ain’t OCD babes, stop posting shit like this if you aren’t a licensed professional who understands what this mental illness is really like. All these psych channels on TH-cam are an actual nightmare.

I'm sure I'll sound like I'm talking unrelated nonsense because I'm not going into detail, I'm talking beyond drugs, but I see the correlation. I walked into Walmart, and there printed on their patriotic Tshirts was a picture of the United States of America...completely faded. It had the year 2008 on it, and it stated the brand, "Faded Glory." I felt even then that was a message, and I kept that shirt for many years. And that was about the year I believe they began to export the factories to other countries. They had that shirt situated so it was one of the first things you saw when you walked in.

My schizoaffective disorder manifested as I thought I was a prophet and had a message from God. My half sibling's name was Michael Judah. Judah is a region of the Levant that is now part of Israel and Palestine and means praise. I felt like my brother was from future and I needed to deliver a message from him from years ago. I lived vicariously through a Kafka novel which triggered my psychosis even more. There were many poetic symbols and themes of fatherhood, spirituality, and brotherhood. My estranged father is a baptist and there was some connection to that. I had thought broadcasting and I believe people on the radio and on ads were observing me. I thought my music was the soundtrack to my purpose. I also believed people on tv were listening to my thoughts and sending me messages and referential delusions. I eventually ended up hearing voices male and female voices. A male voice insulting me and whispering in my ear evil thoughts and saying I am useless. I also believed God wanted me to hang myself like Judas and I hurt my mom as a result. Eventually I found myself in front of a Hindu temple of the God Ganesha and I believed it could remove all obstacles of my life if I hugged the statue.

My parents raped me 😢

I have ocd and whenever i have allergies my dad always thinks im going to throw a fit like a toddler. Im 13 and i know better than that 😭💀

the intro its triggering as fwickitynoodle

I sabotage jobs all of the time. Thankfully I’m 3 yrs from retirement.

This guy has ADHD first and maybe depression second but my goodness, he's all over the place when he talks. He doesn't answer a straight question with a straight answer, he bounces all over the room which is what ADHD people do. As a psychologist I'll tell you. In order to develop coping skills you need to write them down. First, write down things that make you feel sad or depressed. On a completely separate sheet of paper write down the things that either make you happy or at least used to make you happy and that you think you can still do today. That includes food, the amount of rest, favorite TV shows, interesting people to talk with, and which activities. Then mix and match which means to look at the negative things you go through and see if there is something on the positive page that you feel is easy to do when you're in that negative mood. It is just like school. You first listen to the teacher tell you what to do or how to feel. You make notes, you do your homework, and then you discuss how you have evolved the next day with the teacher and then you go on to the next step. Also, if you did not do your homework the teacher will help you understand why and to take necessary steps in order to set different goals. So your homework for tomorrow is to walk up to 10 strangers over the course of an entire day and compliment them by telling them that you like their shoes or their nails or the way they wear their hair or their smile. But never say this person is pretty or handsome. Go deeper than that. Their smile in return will help you feel better.

You seem to be the chat GTP kinda guys - so perhaps ask ChatGTP about the Quran and you might get a better answer. ☮️

😂that's ower politician's and my mother 🤬azz x wife 🤣

I have BPD and have spent a ton of time working on myself and learning about the disorder. I want to point out that abuse, neglect, and trauma are not part of the consideration of diagnosis, it may be frequently connected to those factors, but trauma is not a diagnostic factor

If you’re wondering why we do such reckless things- imagine every single emotion you feel 24/7 is 1000x stronger. Every time you’re in love you’re the most in love you’ve ever been and one even imagined betrayal can change your ENTIRE viewpoint on the person to they hate you and are trying to hurt you in an instant, you feel like you’re going crazy all the time because one second you’re the happiest you’ve ever been and next you’re the most depressed you’ve ever been and then two minutes later you’re the angriest. A lot of BPD feel like they have split personalities and some really do but it’s because we switch between emotions so uncontrollably and uncontrollable emotions at that, it’s exhausting and you feel like you have all these fragmented pieces of yourself and you’re all these different people because each piece is a different intense emotion that takes over your body and works your thoughts. At some point talking about it didn’t help bc there was so much trauma involved I could talk for the rest of my life and not go through everything, so one day I finally just said whatever I’m dealing with my crap. People don’t like me when Im a jerk; noted don’t do jerk things a b and c. Takes people around you willing to be honest because I didn’t see a lot of it until I was willing to come and seek what I needed to work on in our relationships. Find a higher power. I believe Jesus died for my sins and I don’t have to be guilty anymore so long as I keep trying. Another helpful thing is don’t guess anymore. I ask. Every brutally honest question that pops in my head and if that’s me asking my friend if he hates me four times a day he’s okay with that since I’m not assuming now and then acting off of that. There are people you will find who will understand you need reassurance. Don’t act like a child about it though but be direct and make it quick and painless. Don’t try to figure out if they’re lying. “You mad at me?” “No” “okay” move on. Read self help books and learn all the basics to functioning like a human your parents never taught you. It’s a horribly humiliating experience but we all need to learn how to regulate our emotions. Jordan Peterson has very helpful videos explaining all the basics to human emotions and relationships. Listen to those you love. Distract yourself. Help others.

Thank you!!! So much for sharing. I feel as if you described my son. I will keep praying that he will accept treatment and help (he’s pretty stubborn and doesn’t see what we see)

I was diagnosed at the age of 51. I am manic as hell right now! I’m 61 -I feel like I need a new psychiatrist & sometimes I feel like they have the right medicine cocktail and sometimes I don’t …seems like they can’t stop the madness of mania!!!

Thank you so much

Bipolar type 1 and my marks must be in but im srugling
