I was diagnosed with BPD and my doctor told me he wasn’t going to write that on my chart because he knows that if I have it on my chart and I go to a hospital or see another doctor and they see I’m BPD, they will treat me differently and not take me as seriously as they should. He only put “has some BPD leaning traits” to try and protect me. I appreciated him doing that but it’s so awful that we are looked down upon by even those who are supposed to help us.
I know people who have done this with DID as well, or gotten a different diagnosis instead to keep receiving treatment. Sucks that the stigma is so bad
My doctor at the hospital and my current therapist didn’t want to officially diagnose me on paper with BPD too! It was for the exact same reasons! Glad I’m not the only one, but it is sad that we have to hide from our literally medical caretakers and only be honest with them once we’ve assessed them
Thank you for speaking about as someone who has schizophrenia. I was 20yrs old when I got diagnosed but I was dealing with hallucinations and delusions since I was 8. I was diagnosed with bipolar 1 & 2 but after multiple inpatient visits in a yearish period I finally got my diagnosis. And it took years to get to the right meds. I have epilepsy so I was able to use one of seizure meds to help with mood stability and finally the right meds for the paranoia and delusions.
@@SammyGrimm your youtube was one of the first i went to years and years ago before getting diagnosed to know more about bpd and it was super helpful (pre-tiktok days bpd wasnt as big of a topic online so) thank you
I really appreciate everyone here who has taken the time to listen to our stories and those who’ve allowed us to represent the many people out there diagnosed with these sometimes invisible conditions.
I can imagine how thankless it can be in a position where you're constantly having to educate people. This video was EXTREMELY helpful. Thank you for speaking up! Peace!
@@Mariposa-11-2007 the wildest part is because I’d still consider myself a baby in my own journey, I’m even still having to educate myself on a lot of it. You never stop learning, really. But its really nice to have open ears around you.
My partner has dissociative identity disorder but there’s still so many people around them that try to convince them that they’re schizophrenic and that their alters aren’t real-so the topic of mixing the two disorders up is so real in both directions.
I have DID as well and when I brought it up to my second therapist, she said I was psychotic and hallucinating. I talked to my third therapist about it, whom I was JUST AS OPEN ABOUT ABUSE WITH, and she said that when the time comes, if I still experience it in my 20s, to go to a psych and get diagnosed. I haven't fully mentioned it to my fourth therapist though. I probably should on Tuesday. I'll let y'all know how that goes if I remember. We don't talk about my first therapist.
@lottie659 have you seen a redhead? Would you call gingers rare? Cause same amout of gingers is number of people with dissociative identity disorder out there. An thats just from people they could have come forward. Many won't so number is thought to be higher. It's not rare It's covert so you assume/think it's rare. And with people responding like you and others it shows why it is convert. An that it is good that it is to protect person with the disorder.
I'm Bi and have BPD and let me tell you, its so fucking amazing the voice you give to those to have suffered for years in the dark❤ thank you for the safe space
I've thankfully only met one person who said I should quit my meds (bp2 here), I just flat out said "my disease is the most common for unaliving oneself, why do you want me to die?" That shut him up reaaaal quick
I didn’t expect to cry in my kitchen but here we are. Despite having BPD, having friends with BPD, and having a great therapist, seeing positive discussion about BPD is so effin validating. Ugh. When I was late diagnosed at about 28, visibility like this didn’t exist. I felt so alone and worthless. Less than a decade later, my views on myself and my diagnosis are completely different. It’s nice to have hope.
That's not really a late diagnosis for a disorder that's a) highly stigmatised and b) describes dysfunctions within your personality structure. I was diagnosed at 20. I didn't even have a developed personality at 20. I know many patients who "outgrew" BPD in their mid 20s - and I know some who didn't. But all of them carry this label with them. So I think it would make sense to wait with diagnosing a personality disorder till your brain is fully developed. I'd be better to treat it like a mood disorder at first, since those can be easier erased.
I literally had my psychiatrist tell me that BPD "makes you annoying", and I wasn't annoying so I couldn't have BPD.... Like what the hell. That's not my diagnosis, but it was something I wanted to explore and got dismissed. :')
@@damienb6184 Thankfully I have an appointment with someone new at the end of this month! Can't believe someone working in mental health would ever say something so rude.
That psychiatrist clearly has problems. What does that even mean? This is even worse than a psychiatrist saying you can't have autism because you make eye contact or whatever incredibly small trait (that is at least written down in the diagnosis criteria). It's literally saying you don't have BPD because vibes. I hope you get an actual answer soon by a better professional!
What sucks even more about BPD is that AFAB Autistic people are often misdiagnosed with it. So not only do you have to deal with your own stigma, but you also have to deal with the stigma around Autistic people to a certain degree. As an AFAB person who was misdiagnosed with BPD, I feel you guys and I'm sorry you have to deal with such horrendous behaviour, not just from the public but medical professionals as well.
That is an interesting statement, could you explain why that might be (or if it's mostly your own experience, not a recurring issue)? To me, BPD and Autism seem like they have very different symptoms, some even completely completely opposite. E.g. my autistic friends often seem more analytical, which reads as emotionally distant (although they're not!) or hard to read for a neurotypical person. People with BPD are very extreme in their emotions, struggling with depression or manic episodes. How come some people seem to be misdiagnosed? Is it the hyperfocus aspect that can be present in both?
I had the opposite happen to me, though I'm not sure why. I have BPD but it took years to figure out, as people kept assuming I was autistic for being able to handle my emotions. It was odd.
The same thing happens constantly with cPTSD and BPD. BPD and cPTSD is very similar in a lot of ways, but the fine difference is that BPD had internal triggers, whereas cPTSD has external triggers. Outside of those triggers, people with PTSD are able to make rational decisions. (at least from what I understand, please correct me, if I'm wrong) It's an extreme thin fineline and likewise, a lot of people with BPD might be misdiagnosed with cPTSD as well. (also for clarification, cPTSD usually stems from repetitive Trauma. A lot of people who survived abuse over a extensive period of time usually develop cPTSD.)
@@Nabs_Draws and to add cPTSD is very common in autistic people because of the constant negative reinforcement you get socially and environmentally… it’s hard to get away from triggers when triggers occur in every facet of your life because you have to be normal…😅
I didn't know i had bipolar for years. i thought it was "just" depression. and i struggled for years not knowing why i would go up and down for so long. mania and even hypomania is terrifying. i discovered i was bipolar last march and i *finally* feel so much more stable. so thank you for having bipolar rep, it's real nice to see it
I'm so happy for you and glad you're feeling better! Getting the diagnosis can be both jarring and a huge relief 😅 That's what makes these kinds of videos invaluable right? Breaking down that stigma and having the conversation isn't always easy but it sure does help in the long run ❤️ I know talking about my diagnosis and struggles and meeting other people with bipolar disorder have definitely made me feel less alone.
I was diagnosed with BPD at 38. The possibility of it had been thrown around by my therapists for years but was always discounted bc my anger is always directed inward to myself rather than outward at others. Quiet BPD is still not in the DSM but is a very real aspect of the borderline diagnosis.
as someone who has Schizophrenia i can say that sometimes it is scary because i will see hallucinations in my room and hear voices telling me (things) and start talking to them it can be scary at alot of times but i have gotten used to it
Can you do a test for me If not for you please do it for me i want to know Whenever you get these ill call them ''episodes'' for easier wording When you get these episodes can you listen to ''Surah Al Baqara'' from the Qur'an Please tell me how you feel and how the voices feel what they say or if they stay quiet I ask you only do it for me if not for anyone else
@@Rapscalian This has to be one of the worst things you could have commented. Do you really think that hallucinations will magically disappear just because some random dude says some words from the Qu'ran? I get that religion can be helpful to people who actually believe, but to assume this will "work" for everyone is just very shortsighted. If this would truly help, I'd think there would be a lot of information available about it. Also, we are not guinea pigs to test on. So please, think before you comment similar things in the future.
@@ellie7355 my friend i very clearly said its a test I asked if they could listen to it and would it help or not I believe God has created many creatures but dont be mistaken i know we humans are very complex and God tests us in various ways this here could be a sickness or some creature at work i do not know but i wish to know if listening to the Qur'an would help it is my wish My desire to know and i asked my fellow human who suffers from such sickness (may God heal/help them) Why are you so angry at that its my wish Im sorry if it seemed offensive i just wanna know if it helps listening to Am i a villian for simply wanting to know that?
@@ellie7355 i say again im sorry if it came out wrong but im not asking anyone to experiment on or test chemicals or whatever Just want to know if anything happens when you listen to the Book for a few minutes Nothing but genuine curiosity from me
@@Rapscalian It may be genuine curiosity, but at the same time it's insensitive. I mean, I don't have schizophrenia myself, but just think about what you're asking them here. "Test" or not, you're telling them to GO THROUGH AN EPISODE, something that is EXTREMELY discomforting to them, in order to get information. Seriously?
So proud of you Sammy! So refreshing to see you speaking openly about your experience and helping others understand and empathize with people who have mental illnesses.. being raised by a mother who’s struggled with mental illnesses (including BPD), our conversations have really helped me have more compassion for her and heal my relationship with her and reframe some early childhood trauma 🫶🏼🙌🏼
I'd love to see that. As someone who's done research, I've mostly seen that NPD and ASPD leads to danger and harm, rather than addressing relationships or interpersonal struggle.
I've been diagnosed with bpd very recently, like a few weeks ago. I'm glad to see it's being represented well. The struggle is very exhausting and hard. To others struggling, you are not alone. You can get through this, you're strong, you've made it this far, good job :)
@@vasya3801 yes! I’m sza bipolar type specifically, i (from my understanding) don’t believe there’s any official diagnosis where you can have schizophrenia and MDD or schizophrenia and bipolar 1/2 without it being schizoaffective. I’m surprised someone else said this, i started to feel rude for trying to teach people abt that distinction 🙃 happy to see someone else saying it! and for the love of everything, good luck i KNOW how intense it can be LMAO
@@raymax_1071 the thing is once you get into this realm of more complicated disorders, it’s pretty common to have other issues as well. However bpd and schizoaffective (schizophrenia with a mood disorder) end up being commonly linked as bpd, while a personality disorder, is also a trauma disorder similar to C-PTSD. schizophrenic disorders, while neurological to an extent, are brought on usually by trauma as well. Sza and bpd are both at least thoight to be able to be passed down, sadly, to children. Its rough but, bpd already has a ton of symptoms so its often seen coexisting with other issues too 😵💫
Dude, people who immediately jump to “ah they’re faking” are the worst types of people that cause people who actually need serious help, grief, before they unalive themselves.
as soon as she said she's been dumped by therapists, i knew she had bpd. ive been dumped by my last two therapists becuase of my BPD and them claiming im "not accepting help"
I’m so sorry you’ve experienced this 😢 it’s unacceptable and unfair that so many people with BPD have experienced this as well! I hope there more education and awareness for change in the future!❤ sending love
I LOVE when people with different mental health issues come together and on the one hand have a very understanding, empathic conversation and on the other hand just have a little bit of fun with the madness. I'm all for having diverse friend groups but as a mentally ill person you need at least one or two people in your life who truly get it. It's so damn healing.
Mr. Schizophrenia is my new hero. Not only does he put the dissociative identity disorder myth to bed, but he also calls for big attention for those of us on the schizospectrum. We're not multiple people (or "personalities"). We're just not always quite in touch with the commonly agreed upon reality.
Being a woman with schizophrenia has been dehumanizing for me in many ways since I was diagnosed at age 12. I appreciate how more are talking about the ‘ugly’ and ‘terrifying’ mental health disorders with such harmful stereotypes and bias, especially when they affect minorities and anyone besides white men. Thank you for this video!!
Really great video omg. I have bpd, bipolar II, ocd, adhd, c-ptsd, ed’s, and I’m on the autism spectrum, and I couldn’t relate more to what was said about living every day of life as if everything was fine. I am terrified of anyone knowing in public settings, as well as family members, and what little friends I have left. Whenever someone makes eye contact with me in public, I automatically feel like they know my entire medical history, and Ive developed agoraphobia / severe anxiety just as I’ve turned 20. It’s so hard to leave the house, I wish I could work, or have a fulfilling life, but rn I physically can’t as I am treatment resistant. Woohoo. Just wanted to say it’s really nice to see this conversation being opened up on Anthony’s channel, ty for using your voice’s to help fight stigma.
Im 47 and I was only diagnosed officially with BPD just over a year ago and oh boy was my life not great before diagnosis. I also have a comorbodies of CPTSD. Now just over a year later im thankful for my diagnosis as is my partner as they understand me better. We aren't scary we just want love and understanding like the non spicy minded 😊❤
15:22 I have DID (osdd1-b actually but I digress) and I have a friend with schizophrenia and there was a time we were talking about it and her brain decided that it was going to play into the DID fantasy. It scared her a lot. It took me till my doctors prescribed a medication that gave me a tiny hallucination to REALLY understand even just a fraction of what she talks about and how scary it is…. So while i understand the confusion because symptoms can be similar there can be “hallucinations” in DID and “presumably identity’s” within schizophrenia it is COMPLETELY different!
Ugh. Schizophrenia is so rough. My cousin was diagnosed but he is still in the state of denial. He won't get help and while he only does/uses M.J. and nothing else it's apparently linked to Schizophrenia so they won't help him. The way to get help is hard. And it sucks hearing he struggles. He wasn't like this, and then suddenly was.. I just hope one day he finally gets stable enough so he can get help. Noone deserves that.
as someone with bipolar II and someone who teaches nursing students how to be psych ward nurses, this was a really refreshing video to watch. It was great to see these three exchange and share ideas and experiences that I have talked about, seen in patients, and experienced myself
Hey as someone who is diagnosed with did i would love to see an assumptions episode with people who have did/osdd! i feel like theres so many misconceptions surrounding our disorder it would be awesome to see it be talked about 💛
I’m glad we’re finally learning to understand mental health, there’s not enough awareness taught to people and we need to change that in our world. As someone who struggles with mental illness as well it means a lot to me.
One of the main differences between schizophrenia and DID is that with DID the voices are actually there and actually real, and talking to them can help you work together with them to become more functional, whereas it's the opposite with schizophrenia. Anthony did a great video on DID 4 or 5 years ago
Really liked what the guy on the right said about empathy. I feel the same way. My own struggles with my mental illness have made me far far more empathetic to others and their struggles, as I know what it's like to be judged and what it's like to live as someone who is seen so differently based on our label or our worst moments.
I struggle with people acknowledging my bpd and because of that over the years I became used to shutting down, kinda locking down all of my emotions. And now I understand that it harms me more, since I waste much of my energy just to gulp up all of my emotional breakdowns. Sometimes I wish people could understand what it is like to feel all of that, and that is why I very much vibe with that kinda of content, where I can just sit and listen how other feel and proceess thier own experience
We have DID and constantly get comments confusing it with schizophrenia, which is absurd to me because I know just how different the disorders are -Aubrey
Got diagnosed with BPD at 17, since I was a special case. Happy to see it being talked about :-). Also been ghosted by multiple therapists (and therapy institutions) so I feel the abandonment part hard
Gonna have to go find Sammy, she barely got a word in with the guys. I really wanted to hear more about her BPD as I have it myself. I'd never heard the term splitting and that's exactly what it feels like. Thank you for the video.
I have always had depression and anxiety, and then at thirteen I was finally diagnosed with bipolar after my first manic episode. It took about ten years to get my meds right, and now, in my thirties, I’m living my best life. But there were a lot of dark times. I always am up front and open with my illness, and because of this I have had a lot of great conversations about my illness. I’ve met others struggling with bipolar, I’ve corrected assumptions and stigmas, and I’ve advocated for therapy and medication when people expressed fear over starting them. I’d love to do more speaking about it.
Y'all! This is SOOO important! Thank you to the panel for speaking up and educating. As a transgender woman, I know how exhausting it can be to educate the masses. Thanks again, Anthony, for the video. This video series is so invaluable.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
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 told my best friend that I have BPD and that it feels like I’m being held hostage by my emotions and it always feels like I have to just ride it out or place myself away from situations that will trigger them. During the middle of the pandemic I was in a mental health facility and the doctor treating me refused to give me a proper diagnosis and only pushed the same medication people with BPD would use.
I don't always watch these type of videos. However, as someone who's been through a lot, and didnt think to try for therapy until i became an adult...This hits hard in so many ways. I'm also in the I feel feelings to the extreme category, among other things. Thank you for this series. Thank you to all the guests and staff.
My partner has schizophrenia and I often worry about my son developing it. I’d love to hear them discuss living happy, fulfilling, independent lives with these disorders
I do want to add that after Bipolar disorder had been renamed from manic depression the acronym for bipolar disorder was initially BPD which has kind of led to the confusion. BPD after being added as an official diagnosis it got more commonly referenced as BPI or BPII as its more specific to bipolar disorders
i wouldve liked to hear what someome with BPD would say about the question about loving or being loved. as she said in the past question, people with bpd feel emotions stronger than others. i think this comes with loving someone too; you can be so compassionate and loving and caring to someone, in my opinion more than people without this disorder. i think its one of the beautiful things about it. it can be so so difficult at times, especially when youre at a stage when you are trying to find your person, having a favourite person in your life that doesnt feel the same. but when you find that person, it can be so freeing. and the right person is able to see how special you are, they know they wont find anyone that will love them as much as you do
The fact that some people are against medication and they don't believe these illnesses are real but they are so quick to blame demons and suggest exorcism.. I have no words
I mean.. Studies proved that 60% or more (i forgot) showed that people with schizophrenia have a God/Religious type of hallucinations, (people hearing God talk to them, Jesus telling them to do stuff, Seeing Demons/Shadow Figures, witch all has a religious beleif system behind what they say and believe. Its not that its Aliens or Demons but both ish, Another Evil bloodline thats not from here thats taking advantage of the person in a Telepathic sort of way. people with "Schizophrenia" are basically people who are just Manic but taken advantage of by Evil Entities (UFO/Aliens, or Demons if you'd call it by religious terms. Nurses/Docters even back this up with their experiences an say alot of stuff like this.. its actually horrifying once you know the truth.
Thank you for this video! It’s great to see Sammy and I’m so glad to meet Lorenzo and Kody! Love to all the people you’re speaking up for and the loved ones who support them!
I was hoping to hear more from Sammie. she's the only one I follow and she's talked a lit so much of this stuff on her channel for years. this was a great video though. there are so many similarities between bipolar, bpd, and schizophrenia. they often get misdiagnosed for each other or are even comorbid with each other sometimes. Great vid.
Thank you to you all for sharing ,i can relate so much ,it was comforting knowing am not alone with this. I doubt anything is wrong with me at times but when my behave changes and i look back its clear. I wish i didn't have these issues.
Jumping in as another person with BPD to say thank you for this. I hate it. Im tired of it. But it really hurts when people who are close to me also have these negative views. I am so glad people are being given a voice.
30:32 As someone with autism and ADHD, hard agree. There really is not enough education and conversation about these other disorders, and I often feel so bad that the things I experience get talked about so much, but not other people 😞 Love these three so much, very sweet and wholesome ❤❤❤
I really hope he does an episode talking to people who have misophonia it sucks as someone who has it and I’d like to see someone actually talk about it
thank you guys so much for being a voice and sharing your stories I’m from a rural town in the Midwest and I just feel so misunderstood. It’s nice to know I’m not alone yk?
I love this show so much, its so entertaining and even as(and especially as) someone with loved ones who live with some of these mental illnesses I learned aloooooot about what its like to live with and manage the symptoms. I have a feeling Im gonna be coming back to a few different episodes of Assumptions at least once a year
This kind of goes hand-in-hand, but the accommodations, the one guy made and explaining the memes for people that are blind/legally blind. I love the descriptions you did a great job.
as someone with multiple disorders, including one of the ones represented here, this video was so validating. thank you for the bringing real information about mental illness to the forefront.
I have pretty severe bipolar and a lot of these assumptions are stuff I still deal with all the time. I have family members who still think me getting my shit together was just me deciding to "act normal" one day and had nothing to do with all the medication I'm on
I'm writing a movie about having DID and learning to love yourself despite the stigmas, and I'm glad that Kody brought up the mixups people have between DID and Schizophrenia, and how Sammy mentioned how certain psychiatrists who don't know what they're doing can make things worse. Those are both plot points in my script.
That’s exactly why I stopped going to therapist. We get to a profound level of connection and as soon as that happens they leave or they are transferred. I couldn’t handle it anymore.
For the "having a demon" assumption, there is this side too that I noticed, some people have difficulty accepting the fact that their genetic and/or nurturing caused the mental illness to others. So instead of reaching the medical help, they think "exorcising" and it "works", that conclude it's not their fault. They don't have to face the remorse, regret and such. They don't do it on purpose all the time. But they do it because it's in their education. And in some culture, to "save their face" from others.
I love that they rated the memes. That was so funny. As someone with mental health issues (though i don't have these particular ones, i have many others lol) i appreciate this video and how it shows that despite their struggles they all have healthy long-lasting relationships. It gives me hope that I'll be accepted one day too.
That part about hiding things is so true. I hallucinate and have some sort of paranoia? based stuff, and I kind of just learned to act as normal (as possible) to not be seen as having an issue. My life is basically a guessing game with voices especially and hoping I differentiate correctly...or stuff gets awkward.

When I was late diagnosed at about 28, visibility like this didn’t exist. I felt so alone and worthless. Less than a decade later, my views on myself and my diagnosis are completely different. It’s nice to have hope.
I said ‘despite’ because I’m already very validated in my personal life. Public validation just impacts on a different level.
That's not really a late diagnosis for a disorder that's a) highly stigmatised and b) describes dysfunctions within your personality structure.
I was diagnosed at 20. I didn't even have a developed personality at 20. I know many patients who "outgrew" BPD in their mid 20s - and I know some who didn't. But all of them carry this label with them. So I think it would make sense to wait with diagnosing a personality disorder till your brain is fully developed. I'd be better to treat it like a mood disorder at first, since those can be easier erased.
would love to see more discussion to other cluster B disorders too (narcissistic, histrionic and antisocial personality disorder)
So happy for you Sammy! You’ve been such a big advocate for mental health/bpd awareness for such a long time. I couldn’t be more proud of you! 🙌
I literally had my psychiatrist tell me that BPD "makes you annoying", and I wasn't annoying so I couldn't have BPD.... Like what the hell.
That's not my diagnosis, but it was something I wanted to explore and got dismissed. :')
What the actual hell. So unprofessional
@@damienb6184 Thankfully I have an appointment with someone new at the end of this month! Can't believe someone working in mental health would ever say something so rude.
That psychiatrist clearly has problems. What does that even mean? This is even worse than a psychiatrist saying you can't have autism because you make eye contact or whatever incredibly small trait (that is at least written down in the diagnosis criteria). It's literally saying you don't have BPD because vibes. I hope you get an actual answer soon by a better professional!
@@spiralghosts Thank you friend! Fingers crossed this next one is better!
Shouldve have said “you must have it then”
What sucks even more about BPD is that AFAB Autistic people are often misdiagnosed with it. So not only do you have to deal with your own stigma, but you also have to deal with the stigma around Autistic people to a certain degree. As an AFAB person who was misdiagnosed with BPD, I feel you guys and I'm sorry you have to deal with such horrendous behaviour, not just from the public but medical professionals as well.
That is an interesting statement, could you explain why that might be (or if it's mostly your own experience, not a recurring issue)?
To me, BPD and Autism seem like they have very different symptoms, some even completely completely opposite. E.g. my autistic friends often seem more analytical, which reads as emotionally distant (although they're not!) or hard to read for a neurotypical person. People with BPD are very extreme in their emotions, struggling with depression or manic episodes. How come some people seem to be misdiagnosed? Is it the hyperfocus aspect that can be present in both?
I had the opposite happen to me, though I'm not sure why. I have BPD but it took years to figure out, as people kept assuming I was autistic for being able to handle my emotions. It was odd.
The same thing happens constantly with cPTSD and BPD.
BPD and cPTSD is very similar in a lot of ways, but the fine difference is that BPD had internal triggers, whereas cPTSD has external triggers. Outside of those triggers, people with PTSD are able to make rational decisions. (at least from what I understand, please correct me, if I'm wrong)
It's an extreme thin fineline and likewise, a lot of people with BPD might be misdiagnosed with cPTSD as well.
(also for clarification, cPTSD usually stems from repetitive Trauma. A lot of people who survived abuse over a extensive period of time usually develop cPTSD.)
@@Nabs_Draws and to add cPTSD is very common in autistic people because of the constant negative reinforcement you get socially and environmentally… it’s hard to get away from triggers when triggers occur in every facet of your life because you have to be normal…😅
I definitely think I’m misdiagnosed
I didn't know i had bipolar for years. i thought it was "just" depression. and i struggled for years not knowing why i would go up and down for so long. mania and even hypomania is terrifying. i discovered i was bipolar last march and i *finally* feel so much more stable. so thank you for having bipolar rep, it's real nice to see it
Really glad to have been asked to represent
I'm so happy for you and glad you're feeling better! Getting the diagnosis can be both jarring and a huge relief 😅
That's what makes these kinds of videos invaluable right? Breaking down that stigma and having the conversation isn't always easy but it sure does help in the long run ❤️ I know talking about my diagnosis and struggles and meeting other people with bipolar disorder have definitely made me feel less alone.
I was diagnosed with BPD at 38. The possibility of it had been thrown around by my therapists for years but was always discounted bc my anger is always directed inward to myself rather than outward at others. Quiet BPD is still not in the DSM but is a very real aspect of the borderline diagnosis.
Yes!!! Been over 6 years since I've had "suspected BPD" in my papers :)
My partner has bpd so I really appreciate it being talked about
as someone who has Schizophrenia
i can say that sometimes it is scary because i will see hallucinations in my room
and hear voices telling me (things) and start talking to them
it can be scary at alot of times but i have gotten used to it
Can you do a test for me
If not for you please do it for me i want to know
Whenever you get these ill call them ''episodes'' for easier wording
When you get these episodes can you listen to ''Surah Al Baqara'' from the Qur'an
Please tell me how you feel and how the voices feel what they say or if they stay quiet
I ask you only do it for me if not for anyone else
@@Rapscalian This has to be one of the worst things you could have commented. Do you really think that hallucinations will magically disappear just because some random dude says some words from the Qu'ran? I get that religion can be helpful to people who actually believe, but to assume this will "work" for everyone is just very shortsighted. If this would truly help, I'd think there would be a lot of information available about it. Also, we are not guinea pigs to test on. So please, think before you comment similar things in the future.
@@ellie7355 my friend i very clearly said its a test
I asked if they could listen to it and would it help or not
I believe God has created many creatures but dont be mistaken i know we humans are very complex and God tests us in various ways this here could be a sickness or some creature at work i do not know but i wish to know if listening to the Qur'an would help it is my wish
My desire to know and i asked my fellow human who suffers from such sickness (may God heal/help them)
Why are you so angry at that its my wish
Im sorry if it seemed offensive i just wanna know if it helps listening to
Am i a villian for simply wanting to know that?
@@ellie7355 i say again im sorry if it came out wrong but im not asking anyone to experiment on or test chemicals or whatever
Just want to know if anything happens when you listen to the Book for a few minutes
Nothing but genuine curiosity from me
@@Rapscalian It may be genuine curiosity, but at the same time it's insensitive. I mean, I don't have schizophrenia myself, but just think about what you're asking them here. "Test" or not, you're telling them to GO THROUGH AN EPISODE, something that is EXTREMELY discomforting to them, in order to get information. Seriously?
So proud of you Sammy! So refreshing to see you speaking openly about your experience and helping others understand and empathize with people who have mental illnesses.. being raised by a mother who’s struggled with mental illnesses (including BPD), our conversations have really helped me have more compassion for her and heal my relationship with her and reframe some early childhood trauma 🫶🏼🙌🏼
I love you Nimai 🥹 thank you so much and I always appreciate your vulnerability 😭❤️
❤
They should do one of these with people with NPD, it's so demonized and misunderstood too
Yesss and ASPD, HPD, too. They're not really talked about and so much stigma around both!
Do a cluster b one!
i would like to see that
I'd love to see that. As someone who's done research, I've mostly seen that NPD and ASPD leads to danger and harm, rather than addressing relationships or interpersonal struggle.
I love that yall started with the diagnosis process and how difficult that can be in it of itself
Meds and therapy are a right and should always be suggested and talked about when mental health is involved
SAY IT LOUDER!!! 📣📣
I've been diagnosed with bpd very recently, like a few weeks ago. I'm glad to see it's being represented well. The struggle is very exhausting and hard.
To others struggling, you are not alone. You can get through this, you're strong, you've made it this far, good job :)
wtf, this is my exact diagnoses i got jumpscared by the notification lmao
YO AND SAMMY GRIMM MY GIRL
same 😭 just that two are labeled schizoaffective instead of
@@vasya3801 yes! I’m sza bipolar type specifically, i (from my understanding) don’t believe there’s any official diagnosis where you can have schizophrenia and MDD or schizophrenia and bipolar 1/2 without it being schizoaffective. I’m surprised someone else said this, i started to feel rude for trying to teach people abt that distinction 🙃 happy to see someone else saying it! and for the love of everything, good luck i KNOW how intense it can be LMAO
Wtf. I actually knew someone who had this exact diagnosis.
Are they usually related or something?
@@raymax_1071 the thing is once you get into this realm of more complicated disorders, it’s pretty common to have other issues as well. However bpd and schizoaffective (schizophrenia with a mood disorder) end up being commonly linked as bpd, while a personality disorder, is also a trauma disorder similar to C-PTSD. schizophrenic disorders, while neurological to an extent, are brought on usually by trauma as well. Sza and bpd are both at least thoight to be able to be passed down, sadly, to children. Its rough but, bpd already has a ton of symptoms so its often seen coexisting with other issues too 😵💫
Dude, people who immediately jump to “ah they’re faking” are the worst types of people that cause people who actually need serious help, grief, before they unalive themselves.
Because they probably are
as soon as she said she's been dumped by therapists, i knew she had bpd. ive been dumped by my last two therapists becuase of my BPD and them claiming im "not accepting help"
I’m so sorry you’ve experienced this 😢 it’s unacceptable and unfair that so many people with BPD have experienced this as well! I hope there more education and awareness for change in the future!❤ sending love
That's just aweful. There needs to be a change in mental health! I'm so sorry.
Why would you go to a therapist just to waste money!? Those people are idiots!😭
I LOVE when people with different mental health issues come together and on the one hand have a very understanding, empathic conversation and on the other hand just have a little bit of fun with the madness. I'm all for having diverse friend groups but as a mentally ill person you need at least one or two people in your life who truly get it. It's so damn healing.
Mr. Schizophrenia is my new hero. Not only does he put the dissociative identity disorder myth to bed, but he also calls for big attention for those of us on the schizospectrum. We're not multiple people (or "personalities"). We're just not always quite in touch with the commonly agreed upon reality.
Being a woman with schizophrenia has been dehumanizing for me in many ways since I was diagnosed at age 12. I appreciate how more are talking about the ‘ugly’ and ‘terrifying’ mental health disorders with such harmful stereotypes and bias, especially when they affect minorities and anyone besides white men. Thank you for this video!!
SAMMMMMMYYY. 💜💜💜 Such a great discussion and video!! Thank you to everyone for sharing your experiences and raising awareness for mental illness. 🥰🥰💜
ILY!🥹
❤
Really great video omg.
I have bpd, bipolar II, ocd, adhd, c-ptsd, ed’s, and I’m on the autism spectrum, and I couldn’t relate more to what was said about living every day of life as if everything was fine. I am terrified of anyone knowing in public settings, as well as family members, and what little friends I have left. Whenever someone makes eye contact with me in public, I automatically feel like they know my entire medical history, and Ive developed agoraphobia / severe anxiety just as I’ve turned 20. It’s so hard to leave the house, I wish I could work, or have a fulfilling life, but rn I physically can’t as I am treatment resistant. Woohoo. Just wanted to say it’s really nice to see this conversation being opened up on Anthony’s channel, ty for using your voice’s to help fight stigma.
AHHH BPD BADDIES REPRESENT!!!😤🦷🫀⛓️🔮🖤
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak up for awareness of the BPD community!!!🥳
Sammy I am so proud of you. Thank you for being a voice for us baddies :)
Thank you Sammy!
Thank you for giving us a voice
Im 47 and I was only diagnosed officially with BPD just over a year ago and oh boy was my life not great before diagnosis. I also have a comorbodies of CPTSD. Now just over a year later im thankful for my diagnosis as is my partner as they understand me better. We aren't scary we just want love and understanding like the non spicy minded 😊❤
I have bpd so it's nice to see positive representation!
15:22 I have DID (osdd1-b actually but I digress) and I have a friend with schizophrenia and there was a time we were talking about it and her brain decided that it was going to play into the DID fantasy. It scared her a lot.
It took me till my doctors prescribed a medication that gave me a tiny hallucination to REALLY understand even just a fraction of what she talks about and how scary it is….
So while i understand the confusion because symptoms can be similar there can be “hallucinations” in DID and “presumably identity’s” within schizophrenia it is COMPLETELY different!
Ugh. Schizophrenia is so rough. My cousin was diagnosed but he is still in the state of denial. He won't get help and while he only does/uses M.J. and nothing else it's apparently linked to Schizophrenia so they won't help him. The way to get help is hard. And it sucks hearing he struggles. He wasn't like this, and then suddenly was..
I just hope one day he finally gets stable enough so he can get help. Noone deserves that.
as someone with bipolar II and someone who teaches nursing students how to be psych ward nurses, this was a really refreshing video to watch. It was great to see these three exchange and share ideas and experiences that I have talked about, seen in patients, and experienced myself
Hey as someone who is diagnosed with did i would love to see an assumptions episode with people who have did/osdd! i feel like theres so many misconceptions surrounding our disorder it would be awesome to see it be talked about 💛
I’m glad we’re finally learning to understand mental health, there’s not enough awareness taught to people and we need to change that in our world. As someone who struggles with mental illness as well it means a lot to me.
One of the main differences between schizophrenia and DID is that with DID the voices are actually there and actually real, and talking to them can help you work together with them to become more functional, whereas it's the opposite with schizophrenia. Anthony did a great video on DID 4 or 5 years ago
Really liked what the guy on the right said about empathy. I feel the same way. My own struggles with my mental illness have made me far far more empathetic to others and their struggles, as I know what it's like to be judged and what it's like to live as someone who is seen so differently based on our label or our worst moments.
I struggle with people acknowledging my bpd and because of that over the years I became used to shutting down, kinda locking down all of my emotions. And now I understand that it harms me more, since I waste much of my energy just to gulp up all of my emotional breakdowns. Sometimes I wish people could understand what it is like to feel all of that, and that is why I very much vibe with that kinda of content, where I can just sit and listen how other feel and proceess thier own experience
We have DID and constantly get comments confusing it with schizophrenia, which is absurd to me because I know just how different the disorders are -Aubrey
Got diagnosed with BPD at 17, since I was a special case. Happy to see it being talked about :-).
Also been ghosted by multiple therapists (and therapy institutions) so I feel the abandonment part hard
Gonna have to go find Sammy, she barely got a word in with the guys. I really wanted to hear more about her BPD as I have it myself. I'd never heard the term splitting and that's exactly what it feels like. Thank you for the video.
Thank you 🙏🏽 all of my socials are in the description above❤️❤️❤️
Im working toward my schizoaffective disorder, it just helps hearing all this and im happy that we have a voice here.
So proud of you Sammy! Thank you Anthony for giving a platform to much-needed voices. Sharing is caring, and in this case, it can save lives. 💕
I have always had depression and anxiety, and then at thirteen I was finally diagnosed with bipolar after my first manic episode. It took about ten years to get my meds right, and now, in my thirties, I’m living my best life. But there were a lot of dark times. I always am up front and open with my illness, and because of this I have had a lot of great conversations about my illness. I’ve met others struggling with bipolar, I’ve corrected assumptions and stigmas, and I’ve advocated for therapy and medication when people expressed fear over starting them. I’d love to do more speaking about it.
I have two of these thank you for covering it in a positive light. Being demonized for something out of your control sucks.
as a bpd bipolar human- this is so amazing. thank you thank you thank you anthony
Y'all! This is SOOO important! Thank you to the panel for speaking up and educating. As a transgender woman, I know how exhausting it can be to educate the masses.
Thanks again, Anthony, for the video. This video series is so invaluable.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Is he on instagram?
Microdosing helped me get out of the pit of my worst depressive episode, a three year long episode, enough to start working on my mental health.
Can dr.porassss send to me in UK?
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 BPD and schizoaffective disorder, love this episode
I told my best friend that I have BPD and that it feels like I’m being held hostage by my emotions and it always feels like I have to just ride it out or place myself away from situations that will trigger them.
During the middle of the pandemic I was in a mental health facility and the doctor treating me refused to give me a proper diagnosis and only pushed the same medication people with BPD would use.
I don't always watch these type of videos. However, as someone who's been through a lot, and didnt think to try for therapy until i became an adult...This hits hard in so many ways. I'm also in the I feel feelings to the extreme category, among other things. Thank you for this series. Thank you to all the guests and staff.
My partner has schizophrenia and I often worry about my son developing it. I’d love to hear them discuss living happy, fulfilling, independent lives with these disorders
Can you make a video regarding HPD too. It's such an overlooked mental illness, I wish more people would speak about it and advocate.
I do want to add that after Bipolar disorder had been renamed from manic depression the acronym for bipolar disorder was initially BPD which has kind of led to the confusion. BPD after being added as an official diagnosis it got more commonly referenced as BPI or BPII as its more specific to bipolar disorders
as someone just starting to navigate what it means to be schizoaffective, this video is so helpful
Goodluck out there! My GF was diagnosed last year and we are working through it too. 😊
i wouldve liked to hear what someome with BPD would say about the question about loving or being loved. as she said in the past question, people with bpd feel emotions stronger than others. i think this comes with loving someone too; you can be so compassionate and loving and caring to someone, in my opinion more than people without this disorder. i think its one of the beautiful things about it. it can be so so difficult at times, especially when youre at a stage when you are trying to find your person, having a favourite person in your life that doesnt feel the same. but when you find that person, it can be so freeing. and the right person is able to see how special you are, they know they wont find anyone that will love them as much as you do
Sammy!! You are such a special human
The fact that some people are against medication and they don't believe these illnesses are real but they are so quick to blame demons and suggest exorcism.. I have no words
I mean.. Studies proved that 60% or more (i forgot) showed that people with schizophrenia have a God/Religious type of hallucinations, (people hearing God talk to them, Jesus telling them to do stuff, Seeing Demons/Shadow Figures, witch all has a religious beleif system behind what they say and believe.
Its not that its Aliens or Demons but both ish, Another Evil bloodline thats not from here thats taking advantage of the person in a Telepathic sort of way. people with "Schizophrenia" are basically people who are just Manic but taken advantage of by Evil Entities (UFO/Aliens, or Demons if you'd call it by religious terms. Nurses/Docters even back this up with their experiences an say alot of stuff like this.. its actually horrifying once you know the truth.
Sammy!!! I’ve watched your content since I first found out about BPD years ago. Love you! ❤
Thank you for this video! It’s great to see Sammy and I’m so glad to meet Lorenzo and Kody! Love to all the people you’re speaking up for and the loved ones who support them!
I was hoping to hear more from Sammie. she's the only one I follow and she's talked a lit so much of this stuff on her channel for years. this was a great video though. there are so many similarities between bipolar, bpd, and schizophrenia. they often get misdiagnosed for each other or are even comorbid with each other sometimes. Great vid.
Thank you to you all for sharing ,i can relate so much ,it was comforting knowing am not alone with this. I doubt anything is wrong with me at times but when my behave changes and i look back its clear. I wish i didn't have these issues.
Jumping in as another person with BPD to say thank you for this. I hate it. Im tired of it. But it really hurts when people who are close to me also have these negative views. I am so glad people are being given a voice.
Me, having bpd and schizoaffective disorder really appreciate this light here
What a great group. Thank you so much for your honesty and vulnerability for us to learn from.
Thank you Sammy for representing the BPD Baddies! ❤ Loved hearing this interview and everyone’s perspectives.
30:32 As someone with autism and ADHD, hard agree. There really is not enough education and conversation about these other disorders, and I often feel so bad that the things I experience get talked about so much, but not other people 😞
Love these three so much, very sweet and wholesome ❤❤❤
I really hope he does an episode talking to people who have misophonia it sucks as someone who has it and I’d like to see someone actually talk about it
thank you guys so much for being a voice and sharing your stories
I’m from a rural town in the Midwest and I just feel so misunderstood. It’s nice to know I’m not alone yk?
That's the magical part of the internet🤩 Theres always a community out there
I love this show so much, its so entertaining and even as(and especially as) someone with loved ones who live with some of these mental illnesses I learned aloooooot about what its like to live with and manage the symptoms. I have a feeling Im gonna be coming back to a few different episodes of Assumptions at least once a year
Also Nicole is such a good host! Makes me so happy to see a doll winning :)
I love that Sammy says bpd splitting seems intense, because *it is*. My inner world is absolutely exhausting.
The insight and self reflection that comes with professional diagnosis is priceless.
My aunt has BPD, she is the nicest person in the world, she doesn’t deserve out of the blue depression
As someone with ocd and chronic depression what they’re saying definitely says what I feel
This kind of goes hand-in-hand, but the accommodations, the one guy made and explaining the memes for people that are blind/legally blind. I love the descriptions you did a great job.
as someone with multiple disorders, including one of the ones represented here, this video was so validating. thank you for the bringing real information about mental illness to the forefront.
I am in love with her hair colour , it's so pretty
I’m so excited!!! Team Sammy in the house 🎉
I have pretty severe bipolar and a lot of these assumptions are stuff I still deal with all the time. I have family members who still think me getting my shit together was just me deciding to "act normal" one day and had nothing to do with all the medication I'm on
Such an important discussion. So happy to see Sammy on this panel 😻
BPD and Bipolar 1 here so I’m very glad for this representation
I appreciate these folks’ advocacy work so much!
I have a mental illness (Paranoid-Schizophrenia) and people look at me and think I'm faking it because I'm so busy trying to hide it.😅
I'm writing a movie about having DID and learning to love yourself despite the stigmas, and I'm glad that Kody brought up the mixups people have between DID and Schizophrenia, and how Sammy mentioned how certain psychiatrists who don't know what they're doing can make things worse. Those are both plot points in my script.
Thank you for making this video. :) I have BPD, and it took so long for me to get diagnosed due to the stigma.
As someone who also has bipolar, this was incredibly validating and I feel seen ❤
☀️☀️☀️
Not the demon diagnosis 😫
So happy to see Sammy, and loved this overall impactful conversation! 💕
I love that this channel is able to highlight such amazing and necessary discussions ! Thank you so much
Thanks for delivering this with such good humour
As someone with BPD, Bipolar and Schizophrenic Tendencies this was the most perfect representation. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart
diagnosed bpd individual here! you’re not alone 🩷
That’s exactly why I stopped going to therapist. We get to a profound level of connection and as soon as that happens they leave or they are transferred. I couldn’t handle it anymore.
For the "having a demon" assumption, there is this side too that I noticed, some people have difficulty accepting the fact that their genetic and/or nurturing caused the mental illness to others. So instead of reaching the medical help, they think "exorcising" and it "works", that conclude it's not their fault. They don't have to face the remorse, regret and such. They don't do it on purpose all the time. But they do it because it's in their education. And in some culture, to "save their face" from others.
YAS Sammy!! QUEEN serving realness and wisdom!!👑💞❤️🔥
I love that they rated the memes. That was so funny. As someone with mental health issues (though i don't have these particular ones, i have many others lol) i appreciate this video and how it shows that despite their struggles they all have healthy long-lasting relationships. It gives me hope that I'll be accepted one day too.
That part about hiding things is so true. I hallucinate and have some sort of paranoia? based stuff, and I kind of just learned to act as normal (as possible) to not be seen as having an issue. My life is basically a guessing game with voices especially and hoping I differentiate correctly...or stuff gets awkward.
