    I could remember several years ago, I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Was actually diagnosed with BPD. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be use globally to help people with related health challenges.

      Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.

      I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.

    I have a friend with dépression, when he was feeling the worst as soon I arrived from capital city to my home city I went to his home a picked him up for a long walk. Often that walk helped him. In one day even his voice was thicker but during my discussion with him after 45 minutes his voice returned to the original voice of him. So, having a friend that takes care about yourself while having depression is very important. But sadly not everyone has a friend.

    Nobody ever does a good job of explaining it, which adds to the stigma I think. It’s not just periods of low or high. It’s impulsivity, it’s contradictory emotions experienced simultaneously , to be excited and depressed at once. So hard to explain

    • @crayzmosher
      @crayzmosher 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      NO LITERALLY. I knew I’ve had some weird mental health issue my whole life, and I just recently learned about bipolar and got diagnosed with it. I always thought it was similar to schizophrenia or psychosis or something, because of the stigma it has so I never really got educated on it because I thought I for sure couldn’t have it. I have several week long depressive episodes then manic episodes lasting up to 5 days. I wish I were just depressed all the time without the mania, because my manic episodes are super energetic and I go from the typical euphoric episode to being hyped up and very depressed at the same time, and I cycle quickly through that for a few days then go back to being depressed. my manic episodes make me feel so confused and frustrated because I’m feeling so many things at the same time.

    • @crayzmosher
      @crayzmosher 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I also agree with the impulsive nature of it,. so far since I’ve began experiencing episodes, (I’m 15 btw which is about when it starts) I’ve cut my hair short, and spray painted my wall. I’d never do that when I’m more stable.

      If you are concerned you can ask a mental health professional such as a counselor or psychiatrist. It isn't recommended to try to self-diagnose but looking at the diagnostic manual for the criteria for bipolar disorder I or II may be helpful to see if you recognize any symptoms in your own life. Meeting the criteria incorporates many symptoms you may not expect from a brief video like this i.e. hypersexuality, impulsivity, etc. in mania or hypomania. That said I have bipolar disorder and while it can be very difficult, there are many ways to cope and manage it and I am beginning to appreciate who I am C:

    You are forgetting that bipolar disorder is not just about being happy and sad. Many of us are stable for many or long periods of time. Also it is actually mood changes, and defining it as mood swings can be a non-impactful way to describe our illness. Good video though and keep up the good work!!! Great animation and approach!

    I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and when I'm not manic, I'm depressed, and when I'm manic, my symptoms of mania are severe but only last like 2-5 days. I don't know what type of bipolar disorder I have but some doctor's think I have rapid-cycling bipolar while others don't believe in rapid cycling and think I have bipolar 2, or that I'm not used to being happy and that's why whenever I feel happy, my levels are through the roof. But I know whatever it is, it feels like more than just being plain old happy. It feels like my energy is bubbling up inside me and I'm gonna explode. Sometimes I have a sense that something's up when I'm manic because it happens for no apparent reason, but I get so wrapped up in thoughts and ideas that I wasn't able to pursue when I was depressed and now I have all this energy and I don't know what to do with it. A lot of times I start many projects that I can't finish. Sometimes I experience mixed episodes where I start to feel myself drift off from my high and I start to have depressive thoughts that I try to suppress so I can stay on my high, but it's different than depression because I have the energy to act on depressive thoughts and as mania overpowers depression for the most part, I start to think that suicide or any form of harm to my body is a good idea and in the moment I'll feel strangely happy thinking about it.

      @I I It's normal to a degree. Overall there is a level of recognition of what they're doing. It's just that they don't really give a shit about anything at that moment as they are currently feeling levels of highs that only god could amount to. So it's not really in there control in that sense? I think the best way to look at it is that its a combination of the disorder and the reaction of the person's overall personality.

It is really bad, the thing is, when i was in 4-6 grade i had so much support and nice friends (almost everyone in my grade actually) because of my disorder as well as my adhd and was still feeling very high then. But there was this one annoying student who made me so aggravated everytime i was around him and offten got in fights (one of the reasons i lost 99% of my friends) which made people walk away from me. At the end of grade 6 begining of grade 7 i feel in a depressed mood and started developing ptsdas well as psychosis symtoms. And i became very antiscoial. It was horrible, so no it can be very bad.

    What makes a person(especially a teenager) go into depression is (especially a teenager from a middle class family background from Asia or more specifically India.)
    1.Being compared to other "ideal" students
    2.Not being given the chance of following their dreams
    3.All the freaking financial problems (not much)
    4.Parents' horrifying fights which can't be brought to control by any kid
    5.Not having a single friend who can help you with it
    6.What makes it worse is having so many friends (just for the name sake) and realizing that nobody cares about you (even when you are clearly drawing attention towards you since you are in need of help) and then realize at the same time that they are slowly moving away from you.
    I have been through this phase of depression which wasted and killed me for 2 long years (I don't know how I survived it)..but IT ABSOLUTELY FEELS LIKE HELL EVERY SINGLE DAY.You feel like you are poisoned from head to toe and everything about you starts getting worse day by day.
    Nobody likes being depressed...When a person is hated,bullied,not cared about and so many other reasons...one feels
    like this life is not meant for them.And everything seems toxic.Your favorite dishes taste the worst and realizing that you again feel depressed that you are depressed...so what I mean here is every single behavior of the people surrounding you or anything for that matter ..makes you feel like the very next moment you must be leaving this world.I am saying whatever has been experienced by me...There's pretty much nothing left that I haven't experienced. SO WHY I WROTE SUCH A LONG TEXT?
    Because I want people to help that guy or girl who's going through all this stuff.We all know that life has not been easy for any of us..but for some it's the worst.You don't have to try harder on this....sparing few minutes to spend with them in person can actually boost their energies and they can rest a little assured that somebody cares about us.Trust me,they will be grateful towards you till their last breathe because Depression is too disgusting to imagine.
    Thank you.❤

    My life is good but I can't be happy and it makes me feel ungrateful which makes me feel guilty which makes me angry at myself which makes the situation worse
    And then every so often for short periods of time and these are far and few between I'll feel completely invincible unstoppable unbreakable
    I can write creative stories have the energy to accomplish much more than everyone around me can maintain positivity and optimism and kill it at parties

      If you wear your condition around your family plain and bear for all to see they can't pretend like it's not there for long
      This can lead to you eventually getting help however being like this will also get you back lash from those family members in the beginning

    Psychiatrists and other mental health professionals in the United States are paid using diagnosis codes from the DSM-5 that lists each mental health disorder and the criteria to meet them. Currently, complex post-traumatic stress disorder is not in the DSM-5 so mental health professionals are left in a quandary, they cannot diagnose their patients with CPTSD and get paid for treating them. This leaves doctors and therapists no choice but to choose bipolar disorder or some other mental health challenge as their client’s diagnosis.

    *Biopsychosocial Implications*
    The advice at the very end is great and all, but there are many who are living in various degrees of poverty in which time and labour cannot be sacrificed in order to achieve better mental health (i.e. Skid Row, Los Angeles). There are also many individuals who reside in areas that have a tremendous lack of basic resources (and I don't mean a computer and a smartphone lol). I am not commenting on this to point fingers but to hopefully spark an idea for those pursuing to take action into changing communities and beyond. To see that there are A LOT of people suffering from mental disorders whilst living in economic stress and that you are pretty lucky to have access to TH-cam and are cognizant enough to seek self-care. It is an issue that must be addressed by various societal institutions in any "developing" community. Bipolar is also a side effect of something. That 'something' can be found via considering all external (i.e. social, economic barriers, social constructs) and internal factors.

My uncle and aunty are in a diffrent country so they cant help look after my Grandma, They can only give money to help. My mom is super stressed. Currently this January, My Grandma hasnt left her room in a month. It started on her birthday. She doesnt want to go down stairs. So its hard for me to be homealone because she is usually the one who looks after me when my parents arent home. But now, im alone downstairs when my parents arent home. There were alot of traumautic episodes like when my Grandma was laying down on the couch at 10:00 pm, And she was mumbling names that we didnt know. And my Grandma forced my parents to carry her up the stairs, That was so traumautic for me since its more than that. I hope my Grandma will be better soon :)
