Mental illness is as real as a sore throat or the measles. The only problem is you cannot see it all the time and is masked by other situations. People with these problems are too often regular people with families. Just as the alcoholic goes to work 98 percent of the time it is not always so with these illnesses. Med make you tired etc. I fell for these people.
Another example I blame alot of people for what I've become mother ,father! I've act out on rage threatening them i wanna take my life! I know they dnt want me around! I feel It i can tell! I have no one I've push everyone out of my life! I'm off my meds! I was prescribed remeron for depression & vistaril for anxiety, and hydrodiuril for my hypertension! Ya a complete mess! I know and cause I know it makes my depression that much worse. Maybe I need different meds? Can anyone help?
@heckniceguy bro are u related to me??? That's some crazy shit u said! But the try to fall in love with a crazy broad nailed it! I did and it fuck me good along with two deaths 4 months apart! The most important people in my life now gone,a physical demanding job where u have to interact with hundreds of ppl a weak,increase anxiety, do they know? can u tell? What are they thinking , plays a part! Fuck what do I do? I trap myself in world that's full of mix emotions, rage, crying, if I go into
I was bipolar last year after I tried to fall in love with this crazy girl, but I decided to just do whatever I felt and roll with all the crazy feelings I was having like crying in front of strangers and getting mad at people who I wasn't sure if I should be mad at then seeing how it made me feel and trying to analyze it and then doing something else and just getting all that pain and emotion out. Now everyone thinks I'm crazy but they care about me and that feels really good.

my friends say i am extremely bipolar. im a quiet one who really dont bother anyone or harm anyone and stay in my own business. but if something made me explode, sometimes ill randomly get mad, or i get annoyed easily, i wanna hurt someone. then there will be a time i am depressed. then all of a sudden, im happy. it usually at its worst when i have a breakup with a girl. i havent been diagnosed. so i wont say i do, people say i do. but whenever things go bad, i go to the thing i love, motocross
a doctor told my sister my nephew might have bipolar.. hes 5 yeah i know hes young but hes like jekyll & hyde all the time....
my sister cant cope anymore hes been this way from a yr old... my niece how ever isnt like this shes caring and loving.. eventhough most of the attension sadly is given to my nephew.. to try to get him to behave,
if you spoke to him over the phone youd think he was about 8, very bright.
hes smashed up a 42inche tv because my sister refused to give in to him!
My mom took me to the doc after I had essentially what I call a schizophrenic meltdown - I had tests done and they wanted me to be put in a "hospital for observation" Considering what was going on at the time I don't blame them for thinking that I may be a harm to myself or others. Hearing voices screaming your name is exactly the norm and I was white frankly scared shitless Ive tried talking to her but she refuses to even acknowledge it what the hell am i supposed to do she wont listen to me!!
@MarlasanLovesCake If there were no drugs or alcohol involved then hearing voices screaming your name is in fact unusual. Unusual but not exactly the end of the world either. Is there anyone you can talk to? See if you Mom will take you to a therapist. I suggest a therapist before seeing a psychiatrist. If your Mom won't take you then perhaps you could ask a friend to help? Parents have a hard time accepting mental illness. They often feel like it is their fault. It isn't. It's just life.
I'm glad that you have a good wife. You seem like a profoundly decent chap. Best of luck sir. It's a hard row to hoe is this one... Peace and strength brother.
@Dolphidood That's a tough one. Mental states obviously are very complex and analogies are very limited. That said, let me try. Imagine you are in a car that has cruise control and that it is set at the speed limit. Then something, you aren't sure what, starts to make the car speed up. At first it is fun. You pass all the other cars. You wave happily as you whiz by. But then you can see that your car is going so fast that you can no longer steer it properly. (MORE)

have a bath and dress something acceptable nex time you wanna talk about bipolar desorder. You look like the looser that most people think a bipolar has to be. Ps I am bipolar II.
@daleshankins Beehoven, Hemingway, Issac Newton, Edgar Allen Poe, Mark Twain, Ludwig, Charles Dickens, Lincholn, all intelligent men who will be remembered forever, all bipolar, and all rolling in their graves because of undereducated fools like that giving the rest of us a bad name.
@francisco8104 omg, you are rude. he can put a video up about whatever he wants. and having a beard does not mean that someone needs a bath or anything. it's HAIR. you have it, too.
@francisco8104 ....francisc, you are a typical VICTOM of your "bipolar II. Judgmental, resentful, and it seems that your bipolar has molded your character into a sad pathetic victom of mental illness. I too have bipolar, and have been hospitalized over 70 times. Please consider love and forgiveness, instead of revelling in your illness, it doesnt help to be malicious, and bipolar does not excuse the sort of character that you are. xo
i have type 2 bipolar disorder and when i get depressed i get so depressed i dont know what to do and i end up pacing back in forth in my house or staring at the wall for hours and reasently ive been forgeting things and sometimes hours fly by like minutes and i feel like people are following me sometimes. i dont tell my dad what is going on and because im 17 in my state i dont need him to go see my doctor but my doctorsays im too young to be on any meds for this and i dont know what to do now
@245crow Is it possible for you to see a different doctor? Or maybe a therapist would be a better place to start. To me therapy is at least as important as medications. Meds only get me calm enough to talk and work through my problems, they do not make them go away.
@245crow if u have to take meds please dont take diazipam cos its turns u into a zombie and u walk around feeling sluggish and nothing interests u and it fucks u up. i had to take it cos my depression got so bad and at first it did calm me down but a few days in it totaly fucked me up
Iowa would be a great place to be, if you had to be ill somewhere. I remember those relaxing, calm, peaceful summer evenings with the smell of field corn as a kid growing up in southwest Iowa. I would give anything to return to Iowa 1975. total tranquility.
Well why do you get dejected for getting a degree ? Aren't you not suppose to be happy ? Its because of drugs.. People loose pleasure. Motivation. There are lot of things in this world which makes us happy. Why dont you try that better ? Please also read a book called "Selfish Brain"
Drugs like cannabis induce more hallucination. Dont ever and never try it. I know people who are victim of it. Its sick to be live with pain than prefering drugs ...
I prefer what passes for our commonly shared reality to the hallucinations that come from psychedelics. That being said, I do not judge anyone who uses cannabis or any drug. We spend too much time putting people in prison for drug use...a great waste of time and money in my opinion. Violence comes from internal turmoil not drugs, at least in my opinion.
Your so right yogiprasanna, i have friends who smoke daily and don't have any mental problems, but i used to smoke W and one day i really started to panic, from then on int went down hill, never smoked weed again but the panic kept coming back. So i got xanax from my doc. To make a long story short. i got addicted to xanax and other benzodiazepines and i ruined my life. Since i'm off the drug i have been diagnosed to be bi polar, i gained weight and i have social anxiety...So thanx cannabis!
@dirtypaper i smoked alot as younger as well. It can really be a downside to mess with your thoughts in the end. Ive fought alot with it after i stopped as well.
im almost 25 and smoked marijuana since my early teens, pretty much all d time. had 2 stop bout a year ago as i was becoming seriously paranoid an irrational. its true that it doesnt effect some people but 4 others it can cause serious damage. i stiil suffer wit bouts of paranoia but since iv stopped smokin i can rationalise. as 4 d bipolar, thanks for d info. just chekin it out. ur a brave man. best of luck
they tell me i am bi-polar also and what keeps me level is out of the holy garden of God and that is mediacal marijuana-----it works great for bi-polar---------trust modern day man or trust God and his holy garden--pharmisuticals dont work as well as holy garden plants but they keep the doctors and the phamacies making money---they cant make money off of telling you the truth so they lie in order to put food on the table and people who take doctors drugs are victoms of a money making business

Hey nice video. And I believe it's just old-fashioned. It has nothing to do with being white. I know some seniors and they say it as well. It's all good. Great video! Keep it up. :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I met a clinically-diagnosed "bipolar". Prolonged research via PubMed suggests the condition is very often a cynical fraud+hoax, used to explain/excuse/justify: selfish self-centered unreasonable deceitful vindictive irrational unpredictable vicious immoral vile/evil misconduct, to procure drugs/welfare checks/attention/sympathy. Advice how to deal with these cheats: RUN! Shun them immediately. Forever. It'll save time & grief. Find someone worthy of your kindness/affection. You've been warned!
gurn si ......most people looking at these post have bipolar or they have loved ones they want to help with bipolar ... do you think any of them will want to read the shit you write about it do you think mothers and fathers will want to shun their children ... would you shun your mother if she were bipolar would you call her all the things your calling others ... have a word with yourself please
Please go to Yahoo and type in the phrase "Horrible Truth About Psychiatric Drugs" into their search to find a report that reveals the truth about theee drugs that no psychiatrist will tell you. Also do the search with the phrase "Documented Proof Psychiatric Drugs Shorten Lifespan". Be sure to include the quotes to narrow the search so you find the intended research paper on these drugs/ The drugs promote suicide and violence not prevent, cause impotence, no libido and make you fat disphoric.
Skimmed the report "Horrible Truth About Psychiatric Drugs". I found it interesting in parts but it appears to be primarily interested in promoting Christian theology. I did not find this helpful.
I have been suffering episodes of all forms, and I've been trying to trace it back to when I was bout 13 or 14, and Im now 21. I've suffered somewhat in silence and my parents and a few friends, (or what I have left of them) seem to think or agree that I am Bipolar, however I've never seen a psychiatrist or doctor, and I don't think I will ever be taken seriously. That seems to be my biggest fear I guess.
All I can say on the topic of psychologists and psychiatrists is that I seem to have been very lucky. The ones I work with definitely DO take me seriously. I doubt if I would still be seeing them if they did not. Peace.
Truthfully, I don't know. Please ask a psychologist or psychiatrist. My personal opinion is that we are classifying a lot of thing as bipolar that are not in fact illness. Virtually everyone I know has difficulty sleeping at times and many people lack interest and feel "depressed" for extended periods. However Major Depression and Bipolar Disorder are not feelings...they are illnesses that prevent a person from taking care of themselves and/or pose physical risk to the person or others.

you have to accept you have bipolar disorder' that shit does not exist ppl the law just has to categorize a dangerous behavior and protect the state because they dont want to admit to you that capitalism lifestyle fucked you up and made you do a psychosis a psychiatrist looks at you and says he looks like he needs affection, he has colored eyes.. then hel make you believe that shit theatrically so that he gets $ and gets closer to the d1 list and you slowy die of deadly secondary effects
Our brains undergo a major growth spurt as we enter our teenage years. This causes a lot of emotional shifts that can be very traumatic. I know that mine were. If you feel that you are in trouble please ask your parents to take you to see a psychologist first...he/she and you can decide if further help is necessary. If you can't go to your parents, try school, church, whatever or even call a suicide hotline...don't suffer alone. Peace.
Hi. I don't have this myself, but I have a friend that does. I am not really sure how he is dealing with it, because I only found out the other day, and it came as quite a shock to me. I know he is seeing a psych, but that is all I know. I don't know if he is on meds or not as well. It has had me kind of worried. Should I be?
I don't know much about the disorder. I know as much as a person without it can I guess. I do know it can be very distressing, and dipression setting in is rather upsetting. It is hard to see somebody go though this stuff. I guess what I was kind of afraid of was suicide.
Oh I see. Yes suicide is a possibility...but friends can be a big help. In many ways, I think it is easier to have the disease than to watch a loved one endure it. Hang in there...if your friend is seeking help they will eventually find it. Let them know you care but don't try to save them or change them...that requires trained professionals and some emotional distance. Thanks for watching and WRITING. Peace.
yeah man... no prob.. the doc said that those pills do effect my liver.. and stomach.. and that cannabis would not do any damage to me.. and it does not even cause lung cancer.. and does not kill braincells..
i have bipolar ll.. but i still have had to take six pills a day.. thats a lot for me... but luckily i found another treatment.. Cannabis.. and let me tell u.. it help me more than those pills.. with no side effects... maybe if ur pilsls dont work anymore u can try some medical marijuana.. no joke..
I am not sure. Mostly I was lucky enough to find a good psychiatrist AND a cognitive/behavioral psychologist. I also am fortunate enough to have a loving and patient wife. I have tried many medications...some worked for a while and then faded. Lamictal was useful for a while. Today I use EmSAM. ECT has been helpful. I have had to do a lot of reprogramming of my thinking...especially to get rid of belief in magic and supernatural beings/forces.
remember in the process of becoming who they want.. you dont forget who you realy are :) magic and supernatural forces are all around us. Were lucky/unfortunate to be able to feel them.... If the theory of evalution exists.... We are the new adaptation and mental evalution... theres no way we would have made the same mistakes the "normals" would have :) peace out and never stop believing.....
Thanks for your kind thoughts. But I will leave you to your belief in the supernatural. It has not proven to be healthy for me.
By the way, both my psychologist and psychiatrist are deeply religious people. I let go of superstition in favor of the scientific method entirely of my own accord.
Ok... but lol scientificly, there should be an evolution to man. We wont grow a tail or get gills, The brain, the subsonscience, sences,& empathy and awareness',& a spiritual- conection to beings life animals the earth, will be be hightened. Which we with bipolar have problem is theres not that many of us- so we dont fit in. And its much easier to say a minority is wrong & flawed, rather than the billions of "normals". Whos numbness have constructed a loveless world, where $ is absolution. :)x
Whoops! Sorry I misinterpreted your earlier comment...I thought you were talking about some new age kind of thing. :-) I agree with your idea that "mental illness" may in fact be one of the brains ways of evolving and that we can learn much more from those who are "not normal" and who see life from a different perspective. THANKS FOR WATCHING AND TAKING THE TIME TO COMMENT!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank You daleshankins for talking with us over how your disorder is going, the new generation need someone older(no offense intended) and wiser to help us out, and it helps when that person is going through the same thing. Thanks
i actually think of my children and how horrible their lives would be if i left them like that. I constantly fight this battle and Im scared that one day i will lose and not give a damn. I know it sounds cruel, but at the same time im not quite all there. My children are everything to me, and i cannot let this illness take me from them. I just wanted to thank you for expressing your opinions and giving me hope!
Sorry to hear that you are not doing well. I hope that you are seeing someone...I needed both a psychologist and a psychiatrist. Medication on it own was not very helpful.
The good news is that they are finding out more about how the brain works everyday. I think it is highly likely that there will be a "cure" in our lifetimes for most if not all disorders of the brain.
hiya dale, i must admit im a little scared for myself! I have had major depression since i was 15 years old. I have recently been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder, as well as PTSD, Insomnia and Depression (of course). I am scared for my children being that my father is also Bi-polar, and has been committed to a psych ward about 3 times for attempting suicide, including once in front of me and my brother. I often have thoughts of suicide, but i think the thing that seperates us, is that...
I feel I have been suffering depression for a few years now but I'm only 17 .
I went to the doctor a couple of months ago, it was clarified I was "obviously" suffering depression. They offered me counselling but I don't have much to talk about, I feel I can fully understand things.
I do, however, experience all the symptoms of bipolar, and my family have been there to see it, including the rage. Being young as I am I don't feel anyone can take me seriously, including the doctor.
Hello. Im only 21 at the moment but I feel like Im 100. I realy need to buy a webcam so I can upload videos like this. this comment shit just isnt cuttin it. wtfs my point? Well I think Im bi polar and I know my mother is. I have no brothers or sisters and my biological father died in a car accident when I was rly young. One of the only things that keep me from just maning up and offing myself is the fact that Im an only child and my mother would flip out. Otherwise Im a piece of shit.
First and foremost you are not "a piece of shit". Second you do not have to continue feeling the way you do now. Third find a good psychiatrist (ask around or check out the NAMI site) and a psychologist. If you are like me you will need both. In the meantime...I have found that movement is key to surviving the worst times. I walk when I am feeling really bad...nothing fancy, just walk. Sometimes I walk for hours. It keeps me somewhat sane, AND it improves my shapely figure. LOL
PS Please ignore the thumbs down sign on your earlier comment. I clicked the wrong button I meant to give you a thumbs up for courage damn it! Please forgive me.
hi, im 48 and ive been bi-p most of my life. im married to a great lady and i have 3 kids all of them ive put thrue hell.i dont see how they can still love me but some how they do.all the rest of my friends have been chased away.i just thought id let u know your not alone, and im older man to but i love u-tube.
i like art and it seems to help me focuse to. im 1 of 12 kids and 4 of us are bi-p.its something ive hiden for years by staying away from people

Please consider love and forgiveness, instead of revelling in your illness, it doesnt help to be malicious, and bipolar does not excuse the sort of character that you are. xo

i have type 2 bipolar disorder and when i get depressed i get so depressed i dont know what to do and i end up pacing back in forth in my house or staring at the wall for hours and reasently ive been forgeting things and sometimes hours fly by like minutes and i feel like people are following me sometimes. i dont tell my dad what is going on and because im 17 in my state i dont need him to go see my doctor but my doctorsays im too young to be on any meds for this and i dont know what to do now
245crow 1 year ago
@245crow Is it possible for you to see a different doctor? Or maybe a therapist would be a better place to start. To me therapy is at least as important as medications. Meds only get me calm enough to talk and work through my problems, they do not make them go away.

@245crow if u have to take meds please dont take diazipam cos its turns u into a zombie and u walk around feeling sluggish and nothing interests u and it fucks u up. i had to take it cos my depression got so bad and at first it did calm me down but a few days in it totaly fucked me up

Drugs like cannabis induce more hallucination. Dont ever and never try it. I know people who are victim of it. Its sick to be live with pain than prefering drugs ...
yogiprasanna 2 years ago
I prefer what passes for our commonly shared reality to the hallucinations that come from psychedelics. That being said, I do not judge anyone who uses cannabis or any drug. We spend too much time putting people in prison for drug use...a great waste of time and money in my opinion. Violence comes from internal turmoil not drugs, at least in my opinion.

Your so right yogiprasanna, i have friends who smoke daily and don't have any mental problems, but i used to smoke W and one day i really started to panic, from then on int went down hill, never smoked weed again but the panic kept coming back. So i got xanax from my doc. To make a long story short. i got addicted to xanax and other benzodiazepines and i ruined my life. Since i'm off the drug i have been diagnosed to be bi polar, i gained weight and i have social anxiety...So thanx cannabis!

Please go to Yahoo and type in the phrase "Horrible Truth About Psychiatric Drugs" into their search to find a report that reveals the truth about theee drugs that no psychiatrist will tell you. Also do the search with the phrase "Documented Proof Psychiatric Drugs Shorten Lifespan". Be sure to include the quotes to narrow the search so you find the intended research paper on these drugs/ The drugs promote suicide and violence not prevent, cause impotence, no libido and make you fat disphoric.

I have been suffering episodes of all forms, and I've been trying to trace it back to when I was bout 13 or 14, and Im now 21. I've suffered somewhat in silence and my parents and a few friends, (or what I have left of them) seem to think or agree that I am Bipolar, however I've never seen a psychiatrist or doctor, and I don't think I will ever be taken seriously. That seems to be my biggest fear I guess.

heartburn84 3 years ago
Truthfully, I don't know. Please ask a psychologist or psychiatrist. My personal opinion is that we are classifying a lot of thing as bipolar that are not in fact illness. Virtually everyone I know has difficulty sleeping at times and many people lack interest and feel "depressed" for extended periods. However Major Depression and Bipolar Disorder are not feelings...they are illnesses that prevent a person from taking care of themselves and/or pose physical risk to the person or others.

Our brains undergo a major growth spurt as we enter our teenage years. This causes a lot of emotional shifts that can be very traumatic. I know that mine were. If you feel that you are in trouble please ask your parents to take you to see a psychologist first...he/she and you can decide if further help is necessary. If you can't go to your parents, try school, church, whatever or even call a suicide hotline...don't suffer alone. Peace.
daleshankins 3 years ago
Hi. I don't have this myself, but I have a friend that does. I am not really sure how he is dealing with it, because I only found out the other day, and it came as quite a shock to me. I know he is seeing a psych, but that is all I know. I don't know if he is on meds or not as well. It has had me kind of worried. Should I be?
vivalaskeek 3 years ago
Sorry about your friend. You say you are worried...what about?
daleshankins 3 years ago
I don't know much about the disorder. I know as much as a person without it can I guess. I do know it can be very distressing, and dipression setting in is rather upsetting. It is hard to see somebody go though this stuff. I guess what I was kind of afraid of was suicide.
vivalaskeek 3 years ago
Oh I see. Yes suicide is a possibility...but friends can be a big help. In many ways, I think it is easier to have the disease than to watch a loved one endure it. Hang in there...if your friend is seeking help they will eventually find it. Let them know you care but don't try to save them or change them...that requires trained professionals and some emotional distance. Thanks for watching and WRITING. Peace.

I am not sure. Mostly I was lucky enough to find a good psychiatrist AND a cognitive/behavioral psychologist. I also am fortunate enough to have a loving and patient wife. I have tried many medications...some worked for a while and then faded. Lamictal was useful for a while. Today I use EmSAM. ECT has been helpful. I have had to do a lot of reprogramming of my thinking...especially to get rid of belief in magic and supernatural beings/forces.

remember in the process of becoming who they want.. you dont forget who you realy are :) magic and supernatural forces are all around us. Were lucky/unfortunate to be able to feel them....

dreadly101 3 years ago
Thanks for your kind thoughts. But I will leave you to your belief in the supernatural. It has not proven to be healthy for me.
By the way, both my psychologist and psychiatrist are deeply religious people. I let go of superstition in favor of the scientific method entirely of my own accord.

Ok... but lol scientificly, there should be an evolution to man. We wont grow a tail or get gills, The brain, the subsonscience, sences,& empathy and awareness',& a spiritual- conection to beings life animals the earth, will be be hightened. Which we with bipolar have problem is theres not that many of us- so we dont fit in. And its much easier to say a minority is wrong & flawed, rather than the billions of "normals". Whos numbness have constructed a loveless world, where $ is absolution. :)x

Sorry to hear that you are not doing well. I hope that you are seeing someone...I needed both a psychologist and a psychiatrist. Medication on it own was not very helpful.
The good news is that they are finding out more about how the brain works everyday. I think it is highly likely that there will be a "cure" in our lifetimes for most if not all disorders of the brain.
daleshankins 3 years ago
hiya dale, i must admit im a little scared for myself! I have had major depression since i was 15 years old. I have recently been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder, as well as PTSD, Insomnia and Depression (of course). I am scared for my children being that my father is also Bi-polar, and has been committed to a psych ward about 3 times for attempting suicide, including once in front of me and my brother. I often have thoughts of suicide, but i think the thing that seperates us, is that...
me12bsexy 3 years ago
I feel I have been suffering depression for a few years now but I'm only 17 .
I went to the doctor a couple of months ago, it was clarified I was "obviously" suffering depression. They offered me counselling but I don't have much to talk about, I feel I can fully understand things.
I do, however, experience all the symptoms of bipolar, and my family have been there to see it, including the rage. Being young as I am I don't feel anyone can take me seriously, including the doctor.

One of the only things that keep me from just maning up and offing myself is the fact that Im an only child and my mother would flip out. Otherwise Im a piece of shit.
Sethmyrrh 4 years ago 3
First and foremost you are not "a piece of shit". Second you do not have to continue feeling the way you do now. Third find a good psychiatrist (ask around or check out the NAMI site) and a psychologist. If you are like me you will need both. In the meantime...I have found that movement is key to surviving the worst times. I walk when I am feeling really bad...nothing fancy, just walk. Sometimes I walk for hours. It keeps me somewhat sane, AND it improves my shapely figure. LOL
