Your story is hauntingly similar to mine. I can't blame my breakdown entirely on my workplace. I've had multiple hospitalizations for depression over the last 20 years. The main problem was me. I allowed myself to become trapped in jobs & relationships that were not healthy for me. I finally learned at 47, that no job or relationship is worth my health, or should I say, mental health. I'm learning to regulate my life & work at a pace that keeps me sane. I don't take crap from anyone
@fishersann2k7 You mother fucking piece of shit. Go fuck yourself with sharp, spinning at high speed, drill bitt You ignorant fucker--I'd love yo meet you face to face when I get manic, I'd tear your throat open with my bare fingers. Go to hell troll.
I also went though several crises before my 'big crash'. Only then was I finally diagnosed n treated. .. even though I'd sought counselling 4 10 years straight.

I think it is quite pathetic that you chose to let a job/career/money situation send you into such a black space. The world is a cruel place and when it comes to money nothing is more important to most.
Try to stop feeling so sorry for yourself and feeling the victim. Focus on the positive aspects of your life and do not measure success on money or a career. You are not bi polar, you are human and you FEEL, and that is normal. Bad stuff happpens in life....GET OVER IT! and move forward :) xxxxx

Tony - you have a persecution complex, among other misconceptions about o bjective social realities. the misconception could be based in some unfavorable childhood experiences. Underestanding the world as it is will be helpfuls for you, and then seeking to increase your mindfullness and developing some tragic compassion for the human condition will also help. "Is there anything I can do to help keep these people employed" would have been smarter than flinging accusations of corruption.
Sleep deprivation, due to the chronic use of cocaine, causes sleep psychosis which leads to prescription tranquilizer abuse, which causes tranquilizer psychosis.
I've never heard of tranquilizer psychosis. I've had psychosis brought on by stopping benzos cold turkey, however (always on a therapeutic level, never abusing them).
i know this sounds bleak but just block it out dont that them pills because they can shoetin your life sap by 40+ years you know dont worry about out side forse fuck em i mean that a lot of hartlessn dick head only care about them self's for beeter or worse so do what they but better who you might ask just dont do drug's and talk walk's talk to people you naver meet. learn about people. and if your mind and body keep up youll life longer if your happy.
I didn't say ALWAYS more important. I was born in the 50s, so I guess that's where that statement came from. My own mother worked full-time from when I was a very young child! Sorry I if offended anybody.
Bipolar is just a code name for people who covet. By labeling it and giving it a name, it gives people an excuse to covet and then to blame an external uncontrolable force for their own sinful natures and their own selfish thoughts. It's all due to COVETING, and that is why God warned us about it and commands us. Exodus 20:17 THOU SHALT NOT COVET...
Only Jesus and his Father have any right to judge others, and we all share the same GOD, no matter how you spell His name. Even if Jesus is viewed in different ways.

@Tony63efc I know of a few people that claim bi-polar ~ they can act strangely rude w/ friends ~ is this common or does this have anything 2 do w/ bi-polar ~
The doctor was an hour and a half late, and I had lots of time on my hands. I'm a doodler...but I did NOT put smiley faces or spider webs or flowers or monsters on the survey lol -doesn't mean I didn't want to ;0)
I don't have problems with doctors keeping me waiting lately but about five years ago I was in hospital and I had an Italian psychiatrist. One day my father had travelled 30 miles for a meeting and it got postponed until the next day. That was VERY frustrating.
Thanks Tony! I feel so relieved to have left that psy.'s practice. On a funny note, the new doc had a questionaire i had to fill out. ex. do you gamble? (now i don't and I never have, so of course i said a simple "NO") I was thinking a fun answer would be "you wanna bet?" The next ? was "do you take street drugs-I don't and never have so I put down NO (I wanted to say, "honey have you seen my street?")
Hi :0) After the psy screamed at me, and I mean screamed, I decided it was time to find another psychiatrist. I think I have found a calm one who thinks I'm just fine and is leaving the meds as is. Hope you are doing well too xxoo
Wow! that was a strange experience with your psychiatrist. I'm pleased you're doing better now. I feel much better myself and I start to be restless about whether I should be doing more with my life. Take care
I tried to explain that i was just trying to pull myself together. I am short and overweight and tend to look like a troll. years ago I was a model, and gradually I let myself go, focussing instead on raising my children. They have grown now and left home. I just want to feel better about my self-image. Please comment. I value your opinion. Your videos were so insightful and gentle, I felt it would be safe to ask you.
What criteria does a psyc. use to determine a "high"? I wore make up to an appointment (and don't usually.) i talked fast because there were 4 things i wanted to discuss in 50 min appointment. I was quite capable of slowing down and did not have much make up on at all. Still branded "high".Feel victimized
My psychiatrist bluntly told me I am high. I do not believe I am and neither do my friends or husband who watch out for me. What is the criteria a psy. uses to decide a person is manic? I wore lipstic and nail polish at last appointment and never usually do.
Im no psych but from my reading you would experience a reduction in hours of sleep while still feeling energised. There would be pressured speech and talking is a lot faster. Thoughts are a lot faster. Sometimes libido increases. Some people also report feeling irritable.
thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your story. I have beeen diagnosed with bipolar disorder type 2 and have been thinking my diagnosis was not accurate. i even thought of going off my meds before listening to you. your honesty and courage to share have helped a Canadian. God bless you!
Decent? Haha... I'm not decent. I'm currently in a bad situation financially and career wise. I cannot even afford metal health care... though I think I've desperately needed it for a long time. And at least in my country, ANY kind of deviation from the norm is considered totally abnormal. Someone was even laughing at the fact that I was suicidal... As if they're so infallible... Maybe they are, but that doesn't give them the right... haha. ranting.
I don't regret saying decent, if you are in a very bad situation you need to have something to base your self-esteem on, something that can't be taken away from you in a way that a job can. Good luck
I have type II/mixed. Also, I didn't say that my experiences are the same as yours. Sorry you read it that way. I feel like saying, "duh" to you. I mean, come on...I know that. I work as a nurse too and I never refer to my patients as being all the same...everyone is different. Sorry but you brought that Cat out in me...
Please don't take offense, but were you diagnosed with bipolar? Or did you have a breakdown? People with bipolar disorder aren't depressed over one significant event. Usually we're depressed daily or several times a week...unless controlled by meds. Or other things..I suppose. But we also get suicidal related to the depression which is a horrible place to be. I was just curious. Sorry if I offend. Sorry you were treated so badly.
Yes I was diagnosed in 1997 and I have taken mood stabilisers ever since. Thanks for your concern. I was depressed frequently for six years but not any more. I think being bipolar can be different for different people.
That's OK, I admit that sometimes I talk about what happened to me in a way that suggests that I'm not ill but I have had several manic episodes since and they have been quite dramatic.
Me too. I haven't watched your videos to answer this...maybe I should. But are you on meds for it? I have had a lot of depression vs the mania lately. I have small manic issues...sometimes at work...which really stinks.
I've had some too. It is what brought me to my current psychiatrist....I thought I was going to loose my job. No one could stand to work with me. It was a real social mess. And then I worried too about loosing my job. I was misdiagnosed with ADHD and not on the right meds. Now, medicated, still employed and very few outbursts....whew....
For now. We know that bipolar is not part time and it doesn't discriminate. Something comes a long and rocks the boat...and **poof** my semingly balanced world gets all disconbobulated! I'm trying to stay positive.
I've accepted a life with less stress but less money. At some point I have to decide if I am prepared to take a chance on my health to have more money. It's not easy because throughout my illness there have been times when I have felt good but it hasn't been permanent.
what you are saying refers to you, but not to me. each person with bipolar is different. we are like snowflakes. none of us looks alike. depression - bipolar can/is be triggered by a life changing event. depression often - that sounds like fast cycling bipolar. suicide - i get in a mixed cycle so i feel hypomania & depression at the same time. i can be manicy and suicidal at the same time. everyone is different.
It must have been very difficult seeing your mum with an illness of this type. Your mum did very well to be a mother to you and I'm sure you miss her very much
Hmm, seems like a bad set of circumstances, and wouldn't anyone become depressed after 2 miscarriages, and possibility of job loss without a way out? What I am searching for, is how does the bipolar person dysfunction? Feeling bad is not a dysfunction. I seem to notice that you find people who are expectionally corrupt, or bullies and one wonders about that. But still I am worried that this condition has such a wide range of symptoms, could it be overused, Not in your case, but in others?
jazznjava if a medical practitioner witnessed someone experiencing a manic episode they would be in no doubt that was what was happening. The person loses almost all sense of reality and is unrecognisable to those people who know them well
Thanks for commenting, I haven't been depressed for more than five years now. I hope for you when you get depressed you take comfort that it has lifted in the past. Good luck
My dad was diagnosed with bipolar around the same time. Hes told me alot but i always wonder what kind of things are in his head, He is very quite and i can see that he is thinking about things n i always wanted to know, can you help to answer that question
it's diffiult to say because it depends on whether he is feeling low, towards the depression side, feeling normal or feeling high. His thinking could be strange, he might have strange beliefs but he might be thinking completely normally.
hi. im bipolar i can help you but its hard to explain because its, for me, more of a rush in the imagination. like explaining a dream to someone they will never know exactly what you saw or thought in your head. whats happening in his head is hes probably getting caught in what i like to call the rush hour zone..write back i like talking about this stuff
Hi there, I don't get depressed these days so that's something. I haven't been depressed for about five years. I feel I am learning how to handle the highs as well. I'm trying to decide when is the right time to go back into full time employment, that's a tricky decision as my illness has been work-related. Thanks for asking
hey tony. im about to study a course full time do you have any advice for a sufferer of bipolar disorder. ive been much better lately but am worried about the times where i feel i cant help when im down and worried that people will find me strange or loserish for feeling low/inadequate/worried and not confident. i think i should just worry about it when it happens cause if im feeling good now why ruin the moment..maybe im just being naive..
I think you have to try to do things; if you know your early warning signs and triggers that should help. I think that feeling down is so common, I just hope you have good friends who are understanding. If you have a time when you can anticipate stress then take it easy, plenty of sleep, not too much alcohol but other than that enjoy yourself as much as you can.
Thank you mrluvus, if I am sad at all, and I am sometimes, it is because I am no longer married and my illness has affected other people as well as myself, particularly Juliette, my ex-wife.
my illness affects all my friends even though they barely know how much im dealing with it. they are basically still children going into adulthood and are only interested in themselves they just dont know how it affects them. my quietness etc. i catch my negativity now so thats a plus.
I know what you mean, it's not nice to think you're a burden on someone and not as much fun to be with as you'd like to be. In the end though you just have to tell yourself it's not you it's an illness. I never get down these days, hard to believe I ever did but I did. Thanks for the comments.
I feel sorry for anyone who has periods of depression all their life. I can't see myself ever being depressed again; mania is another story, I seem to be stuck with that but hopefully with that I can control it better. Good luck
i've never posted before and just tried to but i don't see it. i tried to say thank you to the brave man who shared his story and helped me. I have bp.type 2 God bless you and once again thank you
i feel sad about yuor life.i myself do somewhat suffer a certain degree of deppretion,alot of time, i have to cope and lived.anyway, i think you a good man who dessert to be happy and live your live.

bi-polar is caused by high sensitivty to frequency emiting devices, Turn them off...
TV being the first one, cell phones *especially blue tooth. and Radio's..
Throw them away... forever... this will start the healing process..
Look into frequencies to find your cure, all the information you need will lay with in the study of frequencies.
The mind ia a frequency tuner, like a radio or a TV...
So, what are these devices doing to us?
Bi-polarity is a frequeuncy. Polarity is electromanetic

Hmm IQ will go up? Yes... Why? Who cares why, just do it?

My psychiatrist bluntly told me I am high. I do not believe I am and neither do my friends or husband who watch out for me. What is the criteria a psy. uses to decide a person is manic? I wore lipstic and nail polish at last appointment and never usually do.

Im no psych but from my reading you would experience a reduction in hours of sleep while still feeling energised. There would be pressured speech and talking is a lot faster. Thoughts are a lot faster. Sometimes libido increases. Some people also report feeling irritable.

thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your story. I have beeen diagnosed with bipolar disorder type 2 and have been thinking my diagnosis was not accurate. i even thought of going off my meds before listening to you. your honesty and courage to share have helped a Canadian. God bless you!

I'm very pleased if I've helped you even in a small way. Good luck, this illness is hard but can be beaten I think.
Tony63efc 3 years ago
Decent? Haha... I'm not decent. I'm currently in a bad situation financially and career wise. I cannot even afford metal health care... though I think I've desperately needed it for a long time. And at least in my country, ANY kind of deviation from the norm is considered totally abnormal. Someone was even laughing at the fact that I was suicidal... As if they're so infallible... Maybe they are, but that doesn't give them the right... haha. ranting.

I don't regret saying decent, if you are in a very bad situation you need to have something to base your self-esteem on, something that can't be taken away from you in a way that a job can. Good luck
Tony63efc 3 years ago
After hearing your story, it was not your illness that struck me... but your story itself... You have won my respect. Good luck yar?!
Urza26 3 years ago
Thank you, respect means a lot to me. If decent people respect me then I find it easier to live with myself.

is your diagnosis
(1) mixed - you experience hypomania & depression at the same time?
(2) rapid cycling?
just curious. i have both of those and they suck hard. it is like i get turned upside down & inside out. nothing is right.
BreeinOC 3 years ago
I have type II/mixed. Also, I didn't say that my experiences are the same as yours. Sorry you read it that way. I feel like saying, "duh" to you. I mean, come on...I know that. I work as a nurse too and I never refer to my patients as being all the same...everyone is different. Sorry but you brought that Cat out in me...

Please don't take offense, but were you diagnosed with bipolar? Or did you have a breakdown? People with bipolar disorder aren't depressed over one significant event. Usually we're depressed daily or several times a week...unless controlled by meds. Or other things..I suppose. But we also get suicidal related to the depression which is a horrible place to be. I was just curious. Sorry if I offend. Sorry you were treated so badly.

Yes I was diagnosed in 1997 and I have taken mood stabilisers ever since. Thanks for your concern. I was depressed frequently for six years but not any more. I think being bipolar can be different for different people.
Tony63efc 3 years ago
Yes, I agree. Hope all is well. Thanks for not being mad at what I commented.
jaxkipi 3 years ago
That's OK, I admit that sometimes I talk about what happened to me in a way that suggests that I'm not ill but I have had several manic episodes since and they have been quite dramatic.
Tony63efc 3 years ago
Me too. I haven't watched your videos to answer this...maybe I should. But are you on meds for it? I have had a lot of depression vs the mania lately. I have small manic issues...sometimes at work...which really stinks.
jaxkipi 3 years ago
I'm on two mood stabilisers, lithium and depakote and an anti-psychotic, quetiapine.
I've had embarrassing manic episodes at work in the past.
Tony63efc 3 years ago
I've had some too. It is what brought me to my current psychiatrist....I thought I was going to loose my job. No one could stand to work with me. It was a real social mess. And then I worried too about loosing my job. I was misdiagnosed with ADHD and not on the right meds. Now, medicated, still employed and very few outbursts....whew....
jaxkipi 3 years ago
I'm pleased that things seem to have worked out for you at work.
Tony63efc 3 years ago
For now. We know that bipolar is not part time and it doesn't discriminate. Something comes a long and rocks the boat...and **poof** my semingly balanced world gets all disconbobulated! I'm trying to stay positive.
jaxkipi 3 years ago
I've accepted a life with less stress but less money. At some point I have to decide if I am prepared to take a chance on my health to have more money. It's not easy because throughout my illness there have been times when I have felt good but it hasn't been permanent.
Tony63efc 3 years ago
what you are saying refers to you, but not to me. each person with bipolar is different. we are like snowflakes. none of us looks alike. depression - bipolar can/is be triggered by a life changing event. depression often - that sounds like fast cycling bipolar. suicide - i get in a mixed cycle so i feel hypomania & depression at the same time. i can be manicy and suicidal at the same time. everyone is different.

It must have been very difficult seeing your mum with an illness of this type. Your mum did very well to be a mother to you and I'm sure you miss her very much

Hmm, seems like a bad set of circumstances, and wouldn't anyone become depressed after 2 miscarriages, and possibility of job loss without a way out? What I am searching for, is how does the bipolar person dysfunction? Feeling bad is not a dysfunction. I seem to notice that you find people who are expectionally corrupt, or bullies and one wonders about that. But still I am worried that this condition has such a wide range of symptoms, could it be overused, Not in your case, but in others?

jazznjava if a medical practitioner witnessed someone experiencing a manic episode they would be in no doubt that was what was happening. The person loses almost all sense of reality and is unrecognisable to those people who know them well
Tony63efc 3 years ago
Ahh, "loses almost all send of reality and is unrecognizable to those people know them
well."
That really helps me to understand, thanks. I get what you are describing now.

I'm also bipolar2, The depression is the
worst. I tell people I have it, I hear
it's just that i'm in the dumps and I'll
get over it. unless someone has it there is
no way for anyone to understand it.

Thanks for commenting, I haven't been depressed for more than five years now. I hope for you when you get depressed you take comfort that it has lifted in the past. Good luck

My dad was diagnosed with bipolar around the same time. Hes told me alot but i always wonder what kind of things are in his head, He is very quite and i can see that he is thinking about things n i always wanted to know, can you help to answer that question
lmsfpfd 4 years ago
it's diffiult to say because it depends on whether he is feeling low, towards the depression side, feeling normal or feeling high. His thinking could be strange, he might have strange beliefs but he might be thinking completely normally.
Tony63efc 4 years ago
hi. im bipolar i can help you but its hard to explain because its, for me, more of a rush in the imagination. like explaining a dream to someone they will never know exactly what you saw or thought in your head. whats happening in his head is hes probably getting caught in what i like to call the rush hour zone..write back i like talking about this stuff

Hi there, I don't get depressed these days so that's something. I haven't been depressed for about five years. I feel I am learning how to handle the highs as well. I'm trying to decide when is the right time to go back into full time employment, that's a tricky decision as my illness has been work-related. Thanks for asking
Tony63efc 4 years ago
hey tony. im about to study a course full time do you have any advice for a sufferer of bipolar disorder. ive been much better lately but am worried about the times where i feel i cant help when im down and worried that people will find me strange or loserish for feeling low/inadequate/worried and not confident. i think i should just worry about it when it happens cause if im feeling good now why ruin the moment..maybe im just being naive..
SimplyMeHooray 4 years ago
I think you have to try to do things; if you know your early warning signs and triggers that should help. I think that feeling down is so common, I just hope you have good friends who are understanding. If you have a time when you can anticipate stress then take it easy, plenty of sleep, not too much alcohol but other than that enjoy yourself as much as you can.

Thank you mrluvus, if I am sad at all, and I am sometimes, it is because I am no longer married and my illness has affected other people as well as myself, particularly Juliette, my ex-wife.
Tony63efc 4 years ago
my illness affects all my friends even though they barely know how much im dealing with it. they are basically still children going into adulthood and are only interested in themselves they just dont know how it affects them. my quietness etc. i catch my negativity now so thats a plus.
SimplyMeHooray 4 years ago
I know what you mean, it's not nice to think you're a burden on someone and not as much fun to be with as you'd like to be. In the end though you just have to tell yourself it's not you it's an illness. I never get down these days, hard to believe I ever did but I did. Thanks for the comments.
Tony63efc 4 years ago
really thats good to know. i do tell myself that everyday
SimplyMeHooray 4 years ago
I feel sorry for anyone who has periods of depression all their life. I can't see myself ever being depressed again; mania is another story, I seem to be stuck with that but hopefully with that I can control it better. Good luck
