It’s horrible, it’s a horrible way of living, feeling unmotivated almost all the time, watching the will to pursue the things you love vanish in the blink of an eye. It’s a huge struggle, a very legit one. Thank you for your video!
I totally understand what you mean. I still constantly struggle with this, hence my super late reply (my apologies for this) but just remember, everyday is a new day. Don't beat yourself up for time lost, there's no time frame or deadline we need to get to. I know it's easier said than done but it's worth a shot!
Thank you for sharing this. I am diagnosed with the same things, and my doctors (so many of them) have told me that it is exceedingly rare to have both BP2 and ADHD. But here we are! Thank you again. Makes me feel less alone in this journey.
You are never alone! I have actually never met anyone else with the same diagnosis so it's really awesome to know that you've found me here. I'm rooting for ya, I hope you're doing well!
In 2016, I have been diagnosed for Bipolar type II as well and I only take Lamictal. I started with Lamitical & Lithium ER. I haven't been diagnosed with ADHD, but I feel like my ADHD still affects me. I was wondering if you take a one medication for both & how it has helped or....? I just am worried about switch meds to helps with both & I hope you are doing well!
@@jaynerio Hey sorry to hear about your experience with Adderall. I haven't personally taken it, but I heard people reporting similar experiences like feeling like a zombie & how it make you lose your creativity. Lamitical & Lithium ER has really helped with my bipolar disorder, but my ADHD is still there, so I am trying to figure where to go from here. Thanks for making the video! Wishing you the best!
I've read it's actually not that rare to have both co-occurring although hypomania and adhd overlap a lot. For me when they're both full on, basically functioning can sometimes be a huge challenge!
i hate living like this. I have to have an immense amount of will-power all the time. Either in hypo-mania to NOT do things or in depression to DO things
I have an anxiety disorder, depression, and I possibly have ADHD. My doctor tested me for ADHD last week and now I’m waiting. My dad has schizophrenia and when he isn’t on his meds he is really scary. He’s a really nice guy but his mental illness limits him. Stay strong everyone.
Thank you for expressing yourself. I was diagnosed ADHD as a child a in 2013 I was diagnosed with also having Bipolar 2. Five years later I am still trying to wrap my head around dealing with these issues. Most days I just except it but there are those days that I just don’t understand how or why this has happened to me if that makes any sense. I watch videos of others like us to help me understand that I am not the only one and there are others out in the world dealing with these same issues. Feeling alone is a major problem and I do feel alone. Watching your and others like your video helps quite that feeling. Thank you again.
So sorry for the late reply! I'm glad that I can help you feel like you're not alone because you're really not. I once thought that but the more I started to accept my diagnosis and work with the mood swings/thoughts, it does start to get more manageable. Hang in there, we're all in this together. ;)
Thank you so much! You are helping so many fighters (myself included) feel less alone and validated in this daily struggle with our brains.The negative stigma is disgusting surrounding people with mental health disorders/medication needs...things need to change! You’re amazing for spreading awareness in such a comforting/honest way💕
Thank you for watching! Although I would never wish this upon anyone, I'm also glad that you can relate and hope that you are doing better as well. Take care!
Thank you for sharing your experience with your mental health. I was just diagnosed with Bipolar 2 and I have been struggling with my ADHD since I was in middle school.Watching this video made me not feel alone. Sending good vibes your way!💗
Thanks for the good vibes! I'm so happy to hear this video made you feel less alone because you're not! I've always known I had ADHD as soon as I learned about it, the BP2 diagnosis caught me off guard but now that I've researched more about it, it makes so much sense. I hope things are going better for you, sending all the love and good vibes your way too!
You just said everything I didn’t know how to say. The not wanting to do anything and how something is so exciting and then the next minute that excitement is just gone, and not wanting to do anything. It’s so hard. Now my therapist just told me I’m getting manic and idk how that’s going to go because there’s SO MUCH stressful shit going on right now. ADHD&bipolar II… it sucks dude. I also want to connect with people like me.. I don’t know many. Thank you so much for this video🙏🏻💜
Thank you so much for sharing! I was also diagnosed with bipolar 2 disorder and ADD. I also struggle with anxiety and depression. Im in recovery due to substance use disorder as well. I do have to take medication to help with my mental health issues and I still am in therapy. I've been dealing with these things since I was like 14-15 yrs old n I'm 33 now.. and I unfortunately have faced so much negative hate over the yrs due to stigmas. It's awesome to see someone share there story with a good energy and positivity while also trying to help others. Thanks!
I totally relate. Going through an episode and found this video. I don't have many friends with mental health issues, especially similar to mine. So thank you for posting this. We don't know each other, but I feel less alone :) Thank you 💞
So happy to help in anyway that I can. It can feel very isolating but being more open about my condition has really helped me feel less alone as well. Don't ever feel alone. There's a bunch of us out there and hopefully lessening the stigma of mental health will create more understanding so that more us can relate. Good luck! 😘
Thank you for posting this, I felt so alone not seeing the combined diagnosis talked about like ever. But thanks to your video, I'm so happy to know that pursuing a better, happier life is possible.
Aw yay! A happier life is totally possible.. I feel like with this combined diagnosis, we are more aware of the "waves" this life has to offer. Which can be seen as a bad thing, but I've learned so much after my diagnosis that I feel like I can prepare better learning the "tides". It's definitely not natural at first, but I've found it gets more manageable the more I work on learning my triggers and patterns. Much love to you!
I came across your video and I can relate to this. I was diagnosed with ADHD and life has been hell for me. Usually been bullied and harassed because of my ADHD in school and even in the workplace. I ended up quitting my job or basically fired my employer and now working for myself. It really takes a whole lot to get us motivated but when we find something that get our interest and we put our complete focus on it or "hyperfocus".....It's on an popping. I love your spirit and wanted to reach out. Looking forward to hear back from you. Hope somewhere down the road we can share stories or something.
Thank you for sharing! I have ADHD and i have been, “weaned” of medication. I can empathize with some of the bipolar symptoms... and maybe i should... look to get tested for this.
Omg this was so helpful. I got diagnosed with ADHD first I tried adderall and hated it. They had me on Seroquil for the sleep issues but it made me a zombie. Found out i had Bipolar and got off the adderall and felt soooo much better. Weened off the Seroquil and felt better again. Now i'm just trying to manage it with a depression med and anxiety med. I feel like i need them less and less though :) It has definitely been a struggle and hard to find resources for. Thank you for posting this and sharing! Just knowing i'm not alone helps 🤗
Yes I agree despite having insurance it’s still very hard to seek out the right help for yourself especially since some professionals can be very dismissive of your symptoms and not take you seriously.
GIRL OMG. I can so relate!! I hardly resonate which is crazy... at this point I just need to show this to my therapist. I never could verbalize it or people hardly took me serious. First of all I was diving deeper because of ADHD, then Bipolar 2, seeing those two combined makes really sense with me.Especially hearing the Art part really said, damn my gut was always right. - Thank you so much!
Aw yay!! I'm so glad this resonated with you! Yes please feel free to show to your therapist. I believe you should always follow your gut and I'm glad you are taking the steps to get the help you deserve. Good luck!!
YAS girl I'm rooting for you! Honestly, those diagnosis for me have been a blessing because it was also the starting point of my journey to taking care of myself. So cheers to that!
Omg same diagnosis & same medication!! I’ve been on/off both of them for about 3yrs. Your experience is very similar to mine!! I wish you the best of luck today ((:
I have bipolar, bpd, adhd, severe anxiety (with very bad panic attcks) and dyslexia 😂 oh no. just wanted to say babe, this video has helped me so much understand the nuance of comorbidity, like every comorbity effects the presentation of each disorder. Seeing you i relate to you so much, it really helped me empathise with how much im dealing with, seeing myself in someone else lets me see its something we share and not just my faults, its a disease as you say. Oh my god, its so bad, my family although riddled with mental health conditions, one of which is a bipolar psychiatrist, constantly will making out im a faker and lazy etc etc etc its so so exhausting, thank god i have such a loving loyal supportive partner. I would have commited su a long time ago if not for all his help, sad note. its so hard
I was diagnosed with bp2 for a few years, not sure the time line. I am seeing symptoms and I am questioning adhd as well. Thank you for filming this. You are amazing.
This videos old whatever but omg you remind me so much of myself like how you talk and everything lol I’m here because I’ve been questioning if I’ve just been misdiagnosed with anxiety and will find out soon if it is bipolar and honestly I get the whole “ashamed” part of it
Well I'm glad you posted this, I'm actually going through the same issues but my doctors won't prescribe me adderall which I know will help (because I've taken it before) and they keep trying to experiment different drugs on me. I'm refusing because they aren't listening. I don't have friends, I have family but none of them understand my struggle and blame it on laziness. This has been the hardest thing but maybe I could bounce ideas off of you. Don't know where you're located but I'm in California, and could use an ear...thanks
I have an appointment with a specialist coming up, and have a history of mental health issues...but this hits the spot. I literally have felt the same for over three years now and decided that I finally need help.
Please excuse my suuuuuper late reply but I am so happy to hear that you've decided to get help! How'd it go? Were you able to find the help you need? I hope so. I know how hard it can be to find the right help but if you need help let me know!
Hi. I was just diagnosed with bipolar disorder and ADHD. Also depression. This helps. It is so hard to deal with. I don't have a good support system. It's so hard to because I can't even talk about it with people because they don't understand.
I’m diagnosed bipolar 1 / adhd. I struggle everyday!!!!! And am extremely disconnected from any social life.. I’m still learning and appreciate you sharing your experiences
I feel your pain! We are all still learning together, and don't feel pressured to have to connect to anything external until you've built a solid connection with yourself. I've had to learn how to be OK with me and my symptoms/diagnosis before I was really able to connect with anyone else. Thank you for sharing as well! Take care.
Even if it helps only one person, even if that person is me... That was probably the best line I heard. For sure it's what I will remember from this video.
Cabaret Baretta awww ty u so much! I’m so happy it resonated with you.. you should always come first no matter what and everything else will fall into place. Happy mental health month!
I was diagnosed with adhd at 36 I still struggle a bit with moods but have come a loooonnnnnggg way. I take vyvanse and zoloft they work well and I have probably been the most stable my whole life. I was diagnosed bipolar 2 back in 08 but got frustrated with the ineffectiveness of the meds. Im kinda in between talking to my doctor and I dont wanna start over on meds because this combo is so effective. I still struggle much with impulsivity a lot and I really need to be more mindful of what Im doing. To be frank im well but exhausted also afraid but I think I will talk to my doc because I need all of me present. I can deal with the stigma, the naysayers etc. Wellness is key for me and thanks a bunch for sharing your story 😘👊
So so happy to hear that you've come a long way! A lot never even feel any improvement at all in their condition so that is a great accomplishment in it of itself. I also still struggle with impulsivity and meditation has helped me a lot with that. It's a perpetual, lifelong journey to wellness but just know you're never alone in this quest to find it! Hope you are doing well. Thanks so much for watching!
I have bipolar 2 and ADHD. I’m in the early stages of figuring out the medication and so far, it’s been a bumpy road. Getting a consistent sleep pattern (or getting much sleep at all) is my biggest struggle. Hypomania is nice when you’re in a good place but I can get mixed states where I’m hyper depressed but also with a proactive racing brain. Often it’s mania mixed with anger and feeling very irritable. It’s dangerous for me at times although I’m never violent or anything. Driving home through red lights could catch up with me if I don’t get a handle on it. The adhd meds work nicely for productivity and generally feeling more focused, but my mood stabiliser isn’t working as the mania and depression have been pretty bad recently. I’ve struggled with relationships, holding down work etc. Do you ever worry about being able to be consistent with work or supporting yourself? Are you in a relationship? It’s a minefield but I’m determined to build some coping strategies and find ways to “work with it”. Side note: I’m an engineer/producer and have only just noticed you can your ass off. Another side note: You’re really pretty and I dig your glasses. x
Hi Rich, first off sorry for the late reply, secondly, thank you for sharing. I luckily do not have an issue with sleep but everything else after that sentence in that paragraph speaks to my soul. I know exactly what you mean as I am the same. Especially the driving through red lights. I've also struggled with all the things you've mentioned. I haven't been able to hold a job for longer than 2 years, that seems to be my limit but I've honestly learned to accept it. I learned skills that can hold me over while I have these gaps like bartending so I'm able to support myself even through my struggles. Medication was also a bumpy road for me so I have opted out of them. I don't recommend this for everyone but for me, meditation, some supplements here and there feel like it's done better than the medication I've taken in the past. My coping mechanism has been journaling and calendaring and it's worked wonders for me. I also try to remind myself that I will eventually get out of the ruts I get into.. It's kind of the beauty of having bipolar 2, knowing that although we spend most of our time depressed, there is always that little break in between we call hypomania which is when I mostly get all the stuff I couldn't do during my depression done. Been diagnosed with both now for about 5-6 years and so far, I've been able to make it work lol. Best of luck to you! I'm rootin for ya
I was diagnosed BP2 several years ago after a depressive and substance abuse issue and during treatment was also diagnosed with ADHD....I was starting to question if I was in fact bipolar and thought maybe I had ADHD only....they can often have simular symptoms. I have continued to stay clean and take medication (except I haven't been treated for ADHD yet because I have high blood pressure and I have a history of substance abuse-got addicted to oxycontin after an injury and cocaine which made me very manic-and crazy eventually) I continue to try to figure out and learn more about mental health and from what I've learned most kids that are ADHD are also bipolar. Thanks for speaking out and sharing
You're right, the symptoms are very similar.. I think we're all trying to figure out and learn more about these different diagnoses which is why I also appreciate you sharing your experience with this. I hope you have found a way to cope or at least a better understanding of what might work best for you. Good luck!
I just recently got diagnosed with bipolar & adhd! Still exploring myself and experimenting constantly. I got prescribed ritalin which is fucking up my bipolar even more. So kinda I don't know what might work right now.
I've been diagnosed with ADHD (Combined but mainly inattentive) and Seasonal Affective Disorder, but I always felt like there was something missing I do usually go through depression during fall or winter, but it's also possible for me to experience it during spring and even summer and it usually lasts 2-3 months. Light therapy didn't work on me like it usually does for people with SAD either I've also come out of depressive episodes feeling like I was on top of the world, which confused me and even scared me a little because I couldn't find a cause for this sudden shift from severe depression to euphoria. People would even point out to me during these episodes that I was acting more outgoing, immature and energetic than usual. It's weird because I've always been described as a very mature person but I guess I just felt like my actions didn't have consequences in a way during this time, so I would behave quite weirdly. I always found it odd but I never thought much of it because it just felt like extreme happiness
Hello Jayne, I have had a long history with mental Illness, First with substance abuse, then depresion, then I was diagnosed with ADHD and treated with ritalin which made me manic and finally been diagnosed with bipolar disorder; but still I have problems with my adhd; but the doctor doesnt want me to take any stimulant because of my substance abuse history and I feel like I dont want to do anything... I feel miserable...
Ahhh I totally understand your pain! I also chose against stimulants but not so much for substance abuse but rather, the stimulants make me feel nauseated and most of the time makes me want to throw up. I can't even have caffeine and adderall gave me the same effect. TBH, what has helped me out a lot was watching my diet and eating less processed foods as well as meditating. It took awhile to get into the habit of the latter but the more I took care of what I put in my body, the more I noticed my clear-mindedness. Obviously, the ADHD will never go away completely, but I at least feel that I catch myself sooner as I start to drift off and on days that I don't feel like doing anything, I give myself the space to do so and not beat myself up too hard about it. I just try to tell myself, well, we can try again tomorrow and here I am, trying and trying again. Hope that helps! :)
its so crazy whenever i see someone with the same comorbidity as me, i think i have a personality - then i realise its mainly my mental stuff. but srsly i really struggle with motivation, its so hard to brush my teeth or anything, hearing someone else like me is such a balm
Both i got both bipolar and adhd i got diagnosed at 6 i also got anxiety life sucks so i came to this video for answers mabey someone who has the same problem but is older than me can help life really just it dont work for me dont fit in at school or home i constantly feel lonely sad drepressed but on the bright side i got myself and this video to watch and dogs so thanks
I have bipolar 1 and ADD which is diagnosed last year. I'm taking moods stabilisers and wellbutrin first. But wellbutrin help me really focus seriously buy it doesn't help my working short term memory and can't remember my studies and very difficult daily executive functions. Then I change to Ritalin. Ritalin help me both concentration problem and working memory problem. What are you medication and dose. My does for Ritalin is suboptimal with the option of increasing
what if you're already a zombie due to your clinical depression & ADHD and possible bipolar (i haven't been diagnosed with the last one yet) would adderal make you feel energized? :D do drugs even help at all?
Do you have these mood changes go up and down in a day? Like several times a day? Or do you have a particular mood dominate the day with slight mood shifts but coming back to that mood. That being depressed, someone cheers you up but it doesn’t last and goes back. Or vice versa being up, and around things or people that would normally bring you down. But your just really energetic? Or is it more reactionary? Like your moods shift so to circumstances? I’m just curious cause I’m going through my diagnosis to, with bipolar 2. And I know a big confusion was over borderline personality disorder. Which through assessment came to bp2. Has your DR possibly considered this? Possibility of borderline personality disorder? Thanks for being so brave and sharing your story. It really helps hearing others. As I was just diagnosed on the 16 this month. It’s been a lot to accept and move forward. So thank you for being so open. Keep being awesome and I wish you well on your mental health journey!
My mood can change throughout the day but BPD wasn't something my doctor considered. My behaviors aren't as erratic but rather, I find myself not wanting to do anything most of the time. I am fully capable but for some reason I'm just never in the mood to do basic daily things that are mostly second nature to others. For the longest time I felt numb. Things that should make me happy didn't and things that I should be sad about didn't affect me. It was weird. Luckily I haven't felt like that in awhile. I hope this helps! Thanks for sharing your story as well, I am always happy to chat this stuff out. It may take me a while to respond (you know with the BP2 and ADHD and all lol) but I will try my best to get back to you!
I was diagnosed with ADHD (I definitely do have it) but the meds are not working and they keep upping the dose. Im starting to think I have cyclothymia or bipolar 2. But I'm not sure
I have adhd and bipolar and I took adderall i don’t really remember what i was like when on it I took myself off it about probably a year ago or two I only will take it if I feel I need too really focus but anyways I don’t remember when I was diagnosed with both because I’ve been told I’ve had it my whole life I don’t really remember what I was like when I was younger or how I acted and who I act now but too me I don’t really notice my bipolar I don’t think I have it at times cuz I’m either mostly showing signs ADHD which I know I have but yeah anyways I don’t think I have bipolar
How do you deal with relationships. My husband has high anger and some narcissistic ways. Argue everyday. My daughter is 17 she is rebellious I can’t get along with her either. I feel that it is me. I’m exhausted. I need relief. Bc of my current situation my dr has recently prescribed me Xanax as needed that has help with all my daily conflict.
Sorry, seeing this super late but I hope the meds have worked out for you! As for dealing with relationships, I've had to really monitor myself, and catch myself as soon as I start to get triggered. Sometimes (many times TBH lol) my temper gets the best of me, but as soon as I realize it, I've learned to walk away once I catch my thoughts/actions/words and recollect myself. It's a work in progress but meditation and mindfulness in general has helped me in every aspect of my life, including external relationships. Hope that helps! Good luck. :)
I’m 38 and finally have been diagnosed with Bipolar 2 with depression for 21 years, adhd and anxiety. I too take the exact same meds as you the (L) twice a day 150mg (s) 50 mg at night 2 10mg generic adhd blue bills meds twice a day. I am so glad to see someone just like me. I having HELL
Thank you so much for sharing! How are the meds working out for you? I actually opted out of taking the Lamictal and Seroquel because I was too scared of not being able to take them at the same time everyday. Do they work for you? Would love to hear your experience
Jayne Rio ha I’ve just recently in the past two month been prescribed adhd generic 10mg 2X a day. I take that with (L). I went for a doctor checkup after the first month and couldn’t tel if it was helping or if it was the troubles of life with my husband not understanding anything and my daughters rebellious (17) and I know she has bipolar. I am getting her help just now but it is so hard when so much is going wrong and I can’t help myself. At night I take (s) 50mg sleep like a baby. My issue with those meds without adhd medicine was weight gain!!!! I went from 150-155 to 167 and gaining quickly. This was from my mood stabilizers mainly the (s) one. Gaining weight DID NOT help with depression or health. So I changed doctors and he put me on the adhd meds. On 6/11 he called me in Xanax .5 because I have been having such a hard time. Anyways I can’t decide if it’s my life or meds. I’ve always had troubles with relationships but not sure if it was daily like it has been for the past four months for sure. My husband may be a narcissist. I see a therapist weekly she says this also and so does his exwife of course he gets pissed if you tell him you think that. Anyways besides all my drama that I have probably shared too much of I’m not sure about meds. I know they help some. Overwhelmed
well i suffer (have) adhd and dysprixa and i had some happen in my head and it decided to say to me what the hell you doing your 38 what have u got so i looked at my situation and thought wow what the hell u got a few things this is after my medication (was finnaly 38) got the help 1st i was meds was good but then i got relly depressed and done a lot of things i done i destroyed now the rihgt meds i like boom get yeah life in order i have a video on my channel thankd for this video
i may a bit older than i was but with me getting fit i shouldnt let things stop me i more confadant now i more focased on my life not trying to please every one else rember your no diffrent to any one else u just a bit more unqiue
Yes I do, but my first panic attack I actually had no idea it was happening. A co-worker had pointed it out only because I had mentioned my difficulty in breathing and the feeling of pins and needles in my limbs. I went to see a therapist about it and was told that I am probably dealing with anxiety. It has happened a few times after and can recognize now when its happening. It sucks but now I've learned to just ride it out.
So do you find it helping you being open about being bipolar? Or maybe I should start off by saying, I share your pain. I am bipolar. Or is it more positive that I say I have bipolar. Any ways. I like to say that I am no longer bipolar, since I do not experience any more manic episodes or mental illnesses. I guess I have to give credit to my medication. So, I guess what I am trying to get at is I am looking for others that are bipolar that I could talk to. I seem to be more open to talking about my past experiences with others that have been there with this condition. So I guess I'll ask you, if you wanna talk, I'll give you my cell phone. If you wanna email, we can arrange that. Maybe I should give a little more background. I think I will leave it at that for now. If I was as open as you, I would direct you to my youtube channel, so you could get to know me that way. Anyways. I was wondering, since you are so open about your condition on youtube, are you this open with coworkers? I couldn't do it. Hope you find it a good idea to keep in touch with me, at least through email. But I currently am in the mood to talk on the phone. Well? I guess I will leave it at that. Take care. Find a routine. Do not stop taking medication because everything is alright. Be more selective on who you open-up to. That's my two-cents.
Aw yay!!! Thank you for sharing! Definitely not alone in this. The diagnosis might help you understand yourself so much more.. at least that’s what it did for me 🥰
It’s horrible, it’s a horrible way of living, feeling unmotivated almost all the time, watching the will to pursue the things you love vanish in the blink of an eye. It’s a huge struggle, a very legit one. Thank you for your video!
I totally understand what you mean. I still constantly struggle with this, hence my super late reply (my apologies for this) but just remember, everyday is a new day. Don't beat yourself up for time lost, there's no time frame or deadline we need to get to. I know it's easier said than done but it's worth a shot!
Except when your manic
It is...
That's how I feel!
I have bipolar and ADHD and I have the same struggle with apathy.
Thank you for sharing this. I am diagnosed with the same things, and my doctors (so many of them) have told me that it is exceedingly rare to have both BP2 and ADHD. But here we are! Thank you again. Makes me feel less alone in this journey.
You are never alone! I have actually never met anyone else with the same diagnosis so it's really awesome to know that you've found me here. I'm rooting for ya, I hope you're doing well!
In 2016, I have been diagnosed for Bipolar type II as well and I only take Lamictal. I started with Lamitical & Lithium ER. I haven't been diagnosed with ADHD, but I feel like my ADHD still affects me. I was wondering if you take a one medication for both & how it has helped or....?

@@jaynerio Hey sorry to hear about your experience with Adderall. I haven't personally taken it, but I heard people reporting similar experiences like feeling like a zombie & how it make you lose your creativity. Lamitical & Lithium ER has really helped with my bipolar disorder, but my ADHD is still there, so I am trying to figure where to go from here. Thanks for making the video! Wishing you the best!
Hey Allie & Jayne if you are down maybe we could form a support group together since we all share BP 2 & ADHD comorbidity. If not that's ok too 😊
I've read it's actually not that rare to have both co-occurring although hypomania and adhd overlap a lot. For me when they're both full on, basically functioning can sometimes be a huge challenge!
I was diagnosed with bipolar II and ADHD last month and this video is helpful because I think someone understands me and I'M NOT ALONE
i hate living like this. I have to have an immense amount of will-power all the time. Either in hypo-mania to NOT do things or in depression to DO things
Same. I want stability :(
The struggle is real
I have an anxiety disorder, depression, and I possibly have ADHD. My doctor tested me for ADHD last week and now I’m waiting. My dad has schizophrenia and when he isn’t on his meds he is really scary. He’s a really nice guy but his mental illness limits him. Stay strong everyone.
Thank you for expressing yourself. I was diagnosed ADHD as a child a in 2013 I was diagnosed with also having Bipolar 2.

So sorry for the late reply! I'm glad that I can help you feel like you're not alone because you're really not. I once thought that but the more I started to accept my diagnosis and work with the mood swings/thoughts, it does start to get more manageable. Hang in there, we're all in this together. ;)
Thank you so much! You are helping so many fighters (myself included) feel less alone and validated in this daily struggle with our brains.The negative stigma is disgusting surrounding people with mental health disorders/medication needs...things need to change! You’re amazing for spreading awareness in such a comforting/honest way💕
I have bipolar anxiety and ADHD. Thank you for this. It's hard to find videos like this that I can actually relate to. Hope it gets better.
Thank you for watching! Although I would never wish this upon anyone, I'm also glad that you can relate and hope that you are doing better as well. Take care!
Same
Thank you for sharing your experience with your mental health. I was just diagnosed with Bipolar 2 and I have been struggling with my ADHD since I was in middle school.Watching this video made me not feel alone. Sending good vibes your way!💗
Thanks for the good vibes! I'm so happy to hear this video made you feel less alone because you're not! I've always known I had ADHD as soon as I learned about it, the BP2 diagnosis caught me off guard but now that I've researched more about it, it makes so much sense. I hope things are going better for you, sending all the love and good vibes your way too!
It's nice to hear stories from people with the same condition. It's nice to know you are not alone.
Looking forward to seeing you every Monday :) Also thanks for opening up on such a sensitive subject
Thank you so much! It was scary to do but I can't believe I actually got it out lol. I appreciate your support!
JAYNE!!! 😀 been watching some of your videos recently and love what your putting out! PIGHTING!!! 💃🏻🕺🏻💪🏽
You just said everything I didn’t know how to say. The not wanting to do anything and how something is so exciting and then the next minute that excitement is just gone, and not wanting to do anything. It’s so hard. Now my therapist just told me I’m getting manic and idk how that’s going to go because there’s SO MUCH stressful shit going on right now. ADHD&bipolar II… it sucks dude.
I also want to connect with people like me.. I don’t know many. Thank you so much for this video🙏🏻💜
Thank you so much for sharing! I was also diagnosed with bipolar 2 disorder and ADD. I also struggle with anxiety and depression. Im in recovery due to substance use disorder as well. I do have to take medication to help with my mental health issues and I still am in therapy. I've been dealing with these things since I was like 14-15 yrs old n I'm 33 now.. and I unfortunately have faced so much negative hate over the yrs due to stigmas. It's awesome to see someone share there story with a good energy and positivity while also trying to help others. Thanks!
I totally relate. Going through an episode and found this video. I don't have many friends with mental health issues, especially similar to mine. So thank you for posting this. We don't know each other, but I feel less alone :)
Thank you 💞
So happy to help in anyway that I can. It can feel very isolating but being more open about my condition has really helped me feel less alone as well. Don't ever feel alone. There's a bunch of us out there and hopefully lessening the stigma of mental health will create more understanding so that more us can relate. Good luck! 😘
Thank you for posting this, I felt so alone not seeing the combined diagnosis talked about like ever. But thanks to your video, I'm so happy to know that pursuing a better, happier life is possible.
Aw yay! A happier life is totally possible.. I feel like with this combined diagnosis, we are more aware of the "waves" this life has to offer. Which can be seen as a bad thing, but I've learned so much after my diagnosis that I feel like I can prepare better learning the "tides". It's definitely not natural at first, but I've found it gets more manageable the more I work on learning my triggers and patterns. Much love to you!
I came across your video and I can relate to this. I was diagnosed with ADHD and life has been hell for me. Usually been bullied and harassed because of my ADHD in school and even in the workplace. I ended up quitting my job or basically fired my employer and now working for myself. It really takes a whole lot to get us motivated but when we find something that get our interest and we put our complete focus on it or "hyperfocus".....It's on an popping. I love your spirit and wanted to reach out. Looking forward to hear back from you. Hope somewhere down the road we can share stories or something.
Thank you for sharing! I have ADHD and i have been, “weaned” of medication.
I can empathize with some of the bipolar symptoms... and maybe i should... look to get tested for this.
Omg this was so helpful.
I got diagnosed with ADHD first
I tried adderall and hated it.
They had me on Seroquil for the sleep issues but it made me a zombie. Found out i had Bipolar and got off the adderall and felt soooo much better. Weened off the Seroquil and felt better again. Now i'm just trying to manage it with a depression med and anxiety med. I feel like i need them less and less though :)
It has definitely been a struggle and hard to find resources for. Thank you for posting this and sharing! Just knowing i'm not alone helps 🤗
Just got a tentative BP 2 diagnosis, already diagnosed adhd-c. Thank you for this video. Just validated my entire existence ❤
Love you, you are so great!!
Yes I agree despite having insurance it’s still very hard to seek out the right help for yourself especially since some professionals can be very dismissive of your symptoms and not take you seriously.
GIRL OMG. I can so relate!! I hardly resonate which is crazy... at this point I just need to show this to my therapist. I never could verbalize it or people hardly took me serious. First of all I was diving deeper because of ADHD, then Bipolar 2, seeing those two combined makes really sense with me.Especially hearing the Art part really said, damn my gut was always right. - Thank you so much!
Aw yay!! I'm so glad this resonated with you! Yes please feel free to show to your therapist. I believe you should always follow your gut and I'm glad you are taking the steps to get the help you deserve. Good luck!!
Diagnosed less than a week ago. Feeling less alone after watching your video. What a relief!
welcome back missed your videos
Thank you so much! Happy to be back :)
I was just told I have bipolar and adhd. Just starting a journey of taking care of my self before anyone else.
YAS girl I'm rooting for you! Honestly, those diagnosis for me have been a blessing because it was also the starting point of my journey to taking care of myself. So cheers to that!
Thank you for sharing. Better days to you! 😽🙏🌈
I just came across this video! Thank you for putting this out. I have bipolar and ADHD
Halsey has it, Mariah Carey has it, I have it, love you girl!
Love the glasses Jayne! They're so cute! Monday videos... No excuses yup yup!
albaboi123 yoooo I shouted you out in the video at the end did u see? DM me on IG I want to send you something! @jaynerio
Jayne Rio did you get my DM on IG?
Omg same diagnosis & same medication!! I’ve been on/off both of them for about 3yrs. Your experience is very similar to mine!! I wish you the best of luck today ((:
Wow just now seeing this but thank you for sharing!! Wishing you the best of luck in your journey as well!
I have bipolar, bpd, adhd, severe anxiety (with very bad panic attcks) and dyslexia 😂 oh no. just wanted to say babe, this video has helped me so much understand the nuance of comorbidity, like every comorbity effects the presentation of each disorder. Seeing you i relate to you so much, it really helped me empathise with how much im dealing with, seeing myself in someone else lets me see its something we share and not just my faults, its a disease as you say. Oh my god, its so bad, my family although riddled with mental health conditions, one of which is a bipolar psychiatrist, constantly will making out im a faker and lazy etc etc etc its so so exhausting, thank god i have such a loving loyal supportive partner. I would have commited su a long time ago if not for all his help, sad note. its so hard
I was diagnosed with bp2 for a few years, not sure the time line. I am seeing symptoms and I am questioning adhd as well. Thank you for filming this. You are amazing.
Thank you for your video. I was recently diagnosed with bipolar 2 and I can definitely identify with everything you have said
The same I have bipolar and adhd 😢it’s been a struggle for me constantly so I’m praying 🙏 for everyone everywhere
This videos old whatever but omg you remind me so much of myself like how you talk and everything lol I’m here because I’ve been questioning if I’ve just been misdiagnosed with anxiety and will find out soon if it is bipolar and honestly I get the whole “ashamed” part of it
Well I'm glad you posted this, I'm actually going through the same issues but my doctors won't prescribe me adderall which I know will help (because I've taken it before) and they keep trying to experiment different drugs on me. I'm refusing because they aren't listening. I don't have friends, I have family but none of them understand my struggle and blame it on laziness. This has been the hardest thing but maybe I could bounce ideas off of you. Don't know where you're located but I'm in California, and could use an ear...thanks
I'm sorry , *hugs* you got the double whammy.. those two are tough, but you're strong :). I suffer from 5 mental health conditions, it can be tough
5?! That's impressive, hope they're not beating you up too much! I commend you for sharing, thanks for the love, I truly appreciate it!
@@jaynerio not as much as they used to tbh..Making vids on YT help a lot tbh. Your welcome :)
I have an appointment with a specialist coming up, and have a history of mental health issues...but this hits the spot. I literally have felt the same for over three years now and decided that I finally need help.
Please excuse my suuuuuper late reply but I am so happy to hear that you've decided to get help! How'd it go? Were you able to find the help you need? I hope so. I know how hard it can be to find the right help but if you need help let me know!
Hi. I was just diagnosed with bipolar disorder and ADHD. Also depression. This helps. It is so hard to deal with. I don't have a good support system. It's so hard to because I can't even talk about it with people because they don't understand.
I’m diagnosed bipolar 1 / adhd. I struggle everyday!!!!! And am extremely disconnected from any social life.. I’m still learning and appreciate you sharing your experiences
I feel your pain! We are all still learning together, and don't feel pressured to have to connect to anything external until you've built a solid connection with yourself. I've had to learn how to be OK with me and my symptoms/diagnosis before I was really able to connect with anyone else. Thank you for sharing as well! Take care.
Same
Even if it helps only one person, even if that person is me... That was probably the best line I heard. For sure it's what I will remember from this video.
Cabaret Baretta awww ty u so much! I’m so happy it resonated with you.. you should always come first no matter what and everything else will fall into place. Happy mental health month!
I’m diagnosed with this too thank you for this video ! I hope you’re well 💕
Back here lol
You too!! Happy 2023!!
I was diagnosed with adhd at 36 I still struggle a bit with moods but have come a loooonnnnnggg way. I take vyvanse and zoloft they work well and I have probably been the most stable my whole life. I was diagnosed bipolar 2 back in 08 but got frustrated with the ineffectiveness of the meds. Im kinda in between talking to my doctor and I dont wanna start over on meds because this combo is so effective. I still struggle much with impulsivity a lot and I really need to be more mindful of what Im doing. To be frank im well but exhausted also afraid but I think I will talk to my doc because I need all of me present. I can deal with the stigma, the naysayers etc. Wellness is key for me and thanks a bunch for sharing your story 😘👊
So so happy to hear that you've come a long way! A lot never even feel any improvement at all in their condition so that is a great accomplishment in it of itself. I also still struggle with impulsivity and meditation has helped me a lot with that. It's a perpetual, lifelong journey to wellness but just know you're never alone in this quest to find it! Hope you are doing well. Thanks so much for watching!
@@jaynerio your very welcome
I have bipolar 2 and ADHD. I’m in the early stages of figuring out the medication and so far, it’s been a bumpy road.
Getting a consistent sleep pattern (or getting much sleep at all) is my biggest struggle. Hypomania is nice when you’re in a good place but I can get mixed states where I’m hyper depressed but also with a proactive racing brain. Often it’s mania mixed with anger and feeling very irritable. It’s dangerous for me at times although I’m never violent or anything. Driving home through red lights could catch up with me if I don’t get a handle on it.
The adhd meds work nicely for productivity and generally feeling more focused, but my mood stabiliser isn’t working as the mania and depression have been pretty bad recently.
I’ve struggled with relationships, holding down work etc. Do you ever worry about being able to be consistent with work or supporting yourself? Are you in a relationship? It’s a minefield but I’m determined to build some coping strategies and find ways to “work with it”.
Side note: I’m an engineer/producer and have only just noticed you can your ass off.
Another side note: You’re really pretty and I dig your glasses. x
Hi Rich, first off sorry for the late reply, secondly, thank you for sharing. I luckily do not have an issue with sleep but everything else after that sentence in that paragraph speaks to my soul. I know exactly what you mean as I am the same. Especially the driving through red lights.
I've also struggled with all the things you've mentioned. I haven't been able to hold a job for longer than 2 years, that seems to be my limit but I've honestly learned to accept it. I learned skills that can hold me over while I have these gaps like bartending so I'm able to support myself even through my struggles.
Medication was also a bumpy road for me so I have opted out of them. I don't recommend this for everyone but for me, meditation, some supplements here and there feel like it's done better than the medication I've taken in the past.
My coping mechanism has been journaling and calendaring and it's worked wonders for me. I also try to remind myself that I will eventually get out of the ruts I get into.. It's kind of the beauty of having bipolar 2, knowing that although we spend most of our time depressed, there is always that little break in between we call hypomania which is when I mostly get all the stuff I couldn't do during my depression done.
Been diagnosed with both now for about 5-6 years and so far, I've been able to make it work lol.
Best of luck to you! I'm rootin for ya
I was diagnosed BP2 several years ago after a depressive and substance abuse issue and during treatment was also diagnosed with ADHD....I was starting to question if I was in fact bipolar and thought maybe I had ADHD only....they can often have simular symptoms. I have continued to stay clean and take medication (except I haven't been treated for ADHD yet because I have high blood pressure and I have a history of substance abuse-got addicted to oxycontin after an injury and cocaine which made me very manic-and crazy eventually) I continue to try to figure out and learn more about mental health and from what I've learned most kids that are ADHD are also bipolar. Thanks for speaking out and sharing
You're right, the symptoms are very similar.. I think we're all trying to figure out and learn more about these different diagnoses which is why I also appreciate you sharing your experience with this. I hope you have found a way to cope or at least a better understanding of what might work best for you. Good luck!
I just recently got diagnosed with bipolar & adhd! Still exploring myself and experimenting constantly. I got prescribed ritalin which is fucking up my bipolar even more. So kinda I don't know what might work right now.
I read doctor should prescribe you for bipolar cuz that's worse and can be fatal.. but not adhd at first cuz the stimulants will mess the bipolar meds
I have had a similar experience. It's like the stimulants help me in one way but then I get hypomanic. It's such a weird place in my head.
I've been diagnosed with ADHD (Combined but mainly inattentive) and Seasonal Affective Disorder, but I always felt like there was something missing
I do usually go through depression during fall or winter, but it's also possible for me to experience it during spring and even summer and it usually lasts 2-3 months. Light therapy didn't work on me like it usually does for people with SAD either
I've also come out of depressive episodes feeling like I was on top of the world, which confused me and even scared me a little because I couldn't find a cause for this sudden shift from severe depression to euphoria. People would even point out to me during these episodes that I was acting more outgoing, immature and energetic than usual. It's weird because I've always been described as a very mature person but I guess I just felt like my actions didn't have consequences in a way during this time, so I would behave quite weirdly. I always found it odd but I never thought much of it because it just felt like extreme happiness
Hello Jayne, I have had a long history with mental Illness, First with substance abuse, then depresion, then I was diagnosed with ADHD and treated with ritalin which made me manic and finally been diagnosed with bipolar disorder; but still I have problems with my adhd; but the doctor doesnt want me to take any stimulant because of my substance abuse history and I feel like I dont want to do anything... I feel miserable...
Ahhh I totally understand your pain! I also chose against stimulants but not so much for substance abuse but rather, the stimulants make me feel nauseated and most of the time makes me want to throw up. I can't even have caffeine and adderall gave me the same effect. TBH, what has helped me out a lot was watching my diet and eating less processed foods as well as meditating. It took awhile to get into the habit of the latter but the more I took care of what I put in my body, the more I noticed my clear-mindedness. Obviously, the ADHD will never go away completely, but I at least feel that I catch myself sooner as I start to drift off and on days that I don't feel like doing anything, I give myself the space to do so and not beat myself up too hard about it. I just try to tell myself, well, we can try again tomorrow and here I am, trying and trying again. Hope that helps! :)
its so crazy whenever i see someone with the same comorbidity as me, i think i have a personality - then i realise its mainly my mental stuff. but srsly i really struggle with motivation, its so hard to brush my teeth or anything, hearing someone else like me is such a balm
i relate to this so much.. the struggle is so real!!
Both i got both bipolar and adhd i got diagnosed at 6 i also got anxiety life sucks so i came to this video for answers mabey someone who has the same problem but is older than me can help life really just it dont work for me dont fit in at school or home i constantly feel lonely sad drepressed but on the bright side i got myself and this video to watch and dogs so thanks
Thank you so much, because I looked for help and I found you, who actually has the same diagnosis as me! Have you ever tried strattera?
I have not but my best friend who is also diagnosed I think tried it.. Maybe that's something I can look into. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing. You’re beautiful
Aw ty tee! I appreciate you taking the time to listen to my story! Happy mental health month!
I also have BP2 ADHD and when i started Adderall for nearly one year i felt great and fixed and then it stopped working and nothing is helping.
My mental health is getting worse, I tired treating on my own for acouple years but I don’t even know where to go from here :/
Such an adorable girl and a pity that those stupid disorders torment people so much.
I have bipolar 1 and ADD which is diagnosed last year. I'm taking moods stabilisers and wellbutrin first. But wellbutrin help me really focus seriously buy it doesn't help my working short term memory and can't remember my studies and very difficult daily executive functions. Then I change to Ritalin. Ritalin help me both concentration problem and working memory problem. What are you medication and dose. My does for Ritalin is suboptimal with the option of increasing
what if you're already a zombie due to your clinical depression & ADHD and possible bipolar (i haven't been diagnosed with the last one yet) would adderal make you feel energized? :D
do drugs even help at all?
Do you have these mood changes go up and down in a day? Like several times a day? Or do you have a particular mood dominate the day with slight mood shifts but coming back to that mood. That being depressed, someone cheers you up but it doesn’t last and goes back. Or vice versa being up, and around things or people that would normally bring you down. But your just really energetic? Or is it more reactionary? Like your moods shift so to circumstances? I’m just curious cause I’m going through my diagnosis to, with bipolar 2. And I know a big confusion was over borderline personality disorder. Which through assessment came to bp2. Has your DR possibly considered this? Possibility of borderline personality disorder?
Thanks for being so brave and sharing your story. It really helps hearing others. As I was just diagnosed on the 16 this month. It’s been a lot to accept and move forward. So thank you for being so open. Keep being awesome and I wish you well on your mental health journey!
My mood can change throughout the day but BPD wasn't something my doctor considered. My behaviors aren't as erratic but rather, I find myself not wanting to do anything most of the time. I am fully capable but for some reason I'm just never in the mood to do basic daily things that are mostly second nature to others. For the longest time I felt numb. Things that should make me happy didn't and things that I should be sad about didn't affect me. It was weird. Luckily I haven't felt like that in awhile. I hope this helps! Thanks for sharing your story as well, I am always happy to chat this stuff out. It may take me a while to respond (you know with the BP2 and ADHD and all lol) but I will try my best to get back to you!
Jayne Rio, I think they may call it feeling "flat."
I was diagnosed with ADHD (I definitely do have it) but the meds are not working and they keep upping the dose. Im starting to think I have cyclothymia or bipolar 2. But I'm not sure
I have adhd and bipolar and I took adderall i don’t really remember what i was like when on it I took myself off it about probably a year ago or two I only will take it if I feel I need too really focus but anyways I don’t remember when I was diagnosed with both because I’ve been told I’ve had it my whole life I don’t really remember what I was like when I was younger or how I acted and who I act now but too me I don’t really notice my bipolar I don’t think I have it at times cuz I’m either mostly showing signs ADHD which I know I have but yeah anyways I don’t think I have bipolar
How do you deal with relationships. My husband has high anger and some narcissistic ways. Argue everyday. My daughter is 17 she is rebellious I can’t get along with her either. I feel that it is me. I’m exhausted. I need relief. Bc of my current situation my dr has recently prescribed me Xanax as needed that has help with all my daily conflict.
Sorry, seeing this super late but I hope the meds have worked out for you! As for dealing with relationships, I've had to really monitor myself, and catch myself as soon as I start to get triggered. Sometimes (many times TBH lol) my temper gets the best of me, but as soon as I realize it, I've learned to walk away once I catch my thoughts/actions/words and recollect myself. It's a work in progress but meditation and mindfulness in general has helped me in every aspect of my life, including external relationships. Hope that helps! Good luck. :)
I have it and my younger gf doesn't understand me I feel
I’m 38 and finally have been diagnosed with Bipolar 2 with depression for 21 years, adhd and anxiety. I too take the exact same meds as you the (L) twice a day 150mg (s) 50 mg at night 2 10mg generic adhd blue bills meds twice a day. I am so glad to see someone just like me. I having HELL
I can not spell the meds correctly sorry. lol
Thank you so much for sharing! How are the meds working out for you? I actually opted out of taking the Lamictal and Seroquel because I was too scared of not being able to take them at the same time everyday. Do they work for you? Would love to hear your experience
Hah no worries! I wasn't even sure what it was until I found the bottles lol
Jayne Rio ha I’ve just recently in the past two month been prescribed adhd generic 10mg 2X a day. I take that with (L). I went for a doctor checkup after the first month and couldn’t tel if it was helping or if it was the troubles of life with my husband not understanding anything and my daughters rebellious (17) and I know she has bipolar. I am getting her help just now but it is so hard when so much is going wrong and I can’t help myself. At night I take (s) 50mg sleep like a baby. My issue with those meds without adhd medicine was weight gain!!!! I went from 150-155 to 167 and gaining quickly. This was from my mood stabilizers mainly the (s) one. Gaining weight DID NOT help with depression or health. So I changed doctors and he put me on the adhd meds. On 6/11 he called me in Xanax .5 because I have been having such a hard time. Anyways I can’t decide if it’s my life or meds. I’ve always had troubles with relationships but not sure if it was daily like it has been for the past four months for sure. My husband may be a narcissist. I see a therapist weekly she says this also and so does his exwife of course he gets pissed if you tell him you think that. Anyways besides all my drama that I have probably shared too much of I’m not sure about meds. I know they help some. Overwhelmed
Me 2 thanks
🤗❤
I do not like your glasses they make it hard to watch but it was a great video and i hit the thumbs up ❤👍
well i suffer (have) adhd and dysprixa and i had some happen in my head and it decided to say to me what the hell you doing your 38 what have u got so i looked at my situation and thought wow what the hell u got a few things this is after my medication (was finnaly 38) got the help 1st i was meds was good but then i got relly depressed and done a lot of things i done i destroyed now the rihgt meds i like boom get yeah life in order i have a video on my channel thankd for this video

Wanna chat about this?
Ha I have ADHD & Bipolar 2 and I have had my ups but morr downs in the last 15 years. Raffaele
I totally feel you on the more downs but at least we can recognize the ups! Thank you for sharing
okay why the fuck did anyone give this a thumbs down?
Do you have panic attacks too?
Yes I do, but my first panic attack I actually had no idea it was happening. A co-worker had pointed it out only because I had mentioned my difficulty in breathing and the feeling of pins and needles in my limbs. I went to see a therapist about it and was told that I am probably dealing with anxiety. It has happened a few times after and can recognize now when its happening. It sucks but now I've learned to just ride it out.
Jayne Rio been dealing with panics attacks for 14yrs. 10yrs on meds
candyman206 wow that’s crazy! Hopefully the meds help.. I’m still trying to find the right one for me
So do you find it helping you being open about being bipolar? Or maybe I should start off by saying, I share your pain. I am bipolar. Or is it more positive that I say I have bipolar. Any ways. I like to say that I am no longer bipolar, since I do not experience any more manic episodes or mental illnesses. I guess I have to give credit to my medication. So, I guess what I am trying to get at is I am looking for others that are bipolar that I could talk to.
I seem to be more open to talking about my past experiences with others that have been there with this condition. So I guess I'll ask you, if you wanna talk, I'll give you my cell phone. If you wanna email, we can arrange that.
Maybe I should give a little more background. I think I will leave it at that for now. If I was as open as you, I would direct you to my youtube channel, so you could get to know me that way. Anyways.
I was wondering, since you are so open about your condition on youtube, are you this open with coworkers? I couldn't do it.
Hope you find it a good idea to keep in touch with me, at least through email. But I currently am in the mood to talk on the phone.
Well? I guess I will leave it at that. Take care. Find a routine. Do not stop taking medication because everything is alright. Be more selective on who you open-up to. That's my two-cents.
I'm seeing this super late, so sorry for the late reply but if you are still wanting to chat, DM me on instagram @jaynerio and we can go from there!
All artists are bipolar whether they admit it or not
Diagnosed less than a week ago. Feeling less alone after watching your video. What a relief!
Aw yay!!! Thank you for sharing! Definitely not alone in this. The diagnosis might help you understand yourself so much more.. at least that’s what it did for me 🥰
