I got it too. The ups make everything feel like sex and the downs makes you wan't to murder the people you hear laughing and having a good time without you.
it’s also so annoying because it’s almost like my sub conscious is like i don’t want to help myself not have mania that often because some of my best ideas have come out of mania it’s so annoying it’s like why can i just be normal and creative
yeah i get that on a super real level. i think for a while i’ve been scared to try to fix it bc i don’t want to lose the creative side but i feel like once you are at a normal emotional level you can almost find that creativity more frequently and naturally rather than random bursts of energy and excitement. i feel like most people have a choice to turn it on, but when it comes to being mostly depressed bipolar person you don’t really have a huge choice when you’re that low. treatment is also not for everyone. i do a lot of self work to help me through the downs, but i’ve also been trying different medications. can’t say i’ve had much luck yet but im hopeful 🤍
Reagan! Thank you for sharing your life, story and living your truth! We ALL have mental health and folks seem to forget that, and as physical, emotional and spiritual health, mental health is a part of our whole self. It needs to be exercised, nurtured, fed and lived! Keep taking care of you, and thanks again for sharing. Dancing A Round My Problems is a great song entirely and I have shared with s but of friends! Best to you and yours all ways! Geoff from Maine.
Thank you for sharing your day. I feel the same at times. Ups and downs. It’s a vicious cycle. Ohhh. New song title, perhaps. Vicious Cycle. Has a nice ring to it…
Hey man, I love you, the lord loves you:) You’re doing great even though you may not feel it. Your music and videos are a huge inspiration:) I am not diagnosed with being bipolar or depression. But I know how I feel. And it ain’t always good. I feel the pain of highs and lows ups and downs every day and it’s rough. I feel like I got no one to talk to. The only thing that’s been there through it all is God. So above all I encourage you to keep doing what you’re doing, music etc.
i appreciate the kind words friend. im glad to inspire and also be inspired by people like you and comments like this. so happy you have an outlet in God
I have bipolar I disorder and I am manic more often than depressed. It sounds awesome but it's very stressful and I go into psychosis with hallucinations and delusions. Hypomania might feel nice, but mixed hypomania and severe mania are both incredibly painful.
ah yes, i know people w bipolar 1 and have heard and seen the manic episodes can be narly. hope you’ve found something that helps or are hopeful to find something, im still on the search for what works for me.
not always the case for everyone, but yes my highs often tend to be very productive but sometimes destructively so. sometimes can be not good at all though just depends
hello, friend. I am 22 and was recently diagnosed with bipolar type 2. Like you, I am struggling to find the right medication to deal with this. So far it has been very frustrating. However, I feel less lonely when I hear experiences like yours. Thx for sharing. Greetings from Argentina :)
hi friend! im glad this is something you can resonate with. im starting on lithium in a few days, we’ll see how it goes. wish you the best on your path to better mental health
Im also bipolar 2. Hypomanoa for me is not that nice, it is more me feeling really irritated and triguered by anything, meaning Im just waiting for a reason to have an argument to anyone. Very rarely my hypomania is that excited, ideas and energy stuff. But i learn really to respect medication and good habits. I take lithium and antidepressive and am pretty much normal, no side effects. I wish I knew it 10 years ago! Otherwise i would be depressed 90% of the time.
100% can see that. i get that way pretty often as well it just kind of depends on the randomness of how the mania hits i guess if that makes sense. i would say like most of the time i’m generally very depressed but if i’m hypomanic the depression can definitely make me irritable and angry. but i would say my bipolar actually makes me quite angry most of the time, so i just notice more when i’m excited and not angry or sad. that’s amazing that you’ve found medication that works for you. im still on the hunt, maybe you know how that is. first couple meds kind of started my hypomania but im supposed to start a new one soon. latuda or something. i was taking lamotrigine for a while but the side effects were really bad in my case unfortunately
@@ReaganBeem did u ever tried lithium? I take lithium with a fluvoxamine (it is an antidepressant used for OCD, I have OCD too, but also helps the depression). You have to be careful because antidepressants alone can put u in hypomanic estate, but I guess u already know that. It is trial and error, that is why u should not stop trying, life is much better when u find a medication that works. My life was a mess for years and I used to think I was just dumb, disorganized, lazy, crazy lol Also a lot of people hate lithium and I read a lot of bad stuff about lithium, but with me it really makes me balanced.

Anyone else diagnosed with bi polar and became addicted to booze and other stimulants and then it makes the whole thing even more ridiculous

Interesting hearing your thoughts on wanting to utilise the efficiency and drive during mania, I always liked how Homeland explored that
