bipolar, hypomania & hypersexuality II

[stuqua]

Hypomania sounds like splendid fun.

[HidingFromEveryone]

@stuqua It can lead to spending sprees, gambling sprees, excessive drinking, excessive drug use, Hypersexuality and trouble. It can be Irritable Hypomania which is fist fighting, arguing, hair trigger temper, jail time & ruined relationships. I would call it volatile & destructive.

Euphoric Hypomania looks fun until you get into trouble with shopping sprees, gambling, sex, etc. It is not what you think.

[LiQuiDOwns]

@stuqua Its great fun at the time, but what goes up :/

hypomania is great, dealing with the aftermath of broken relationships, debt, and people that beat the hell out of you isnt.

[HidingFromEveryone]

@Mariezee44 If you feel a diagnosis doesn't fit get a 2nd opinion from a psychiatrist who is better trained at diagnosis than a therapist. Look for a psychiatrist that specializes in "Mood Disorders" so you get someone who is well versed in Bipolar. They will know if you have Bipolar or not. It is important to get an accurate diagnosis as therapy and meds are different for a different diagnosis. If you have the wrong diagnosis you will be given the wrong meds, wrong therapy & not benefit.

[HidingFromEveryone]

@Mariezee44 I would not necessarily go by what a therapist says. I have been misdiagnosed by multiple therapists. I would see a psychiatrist for a more accurate assessment. Therapists are pretty weak at diagnosis. Psychiatrists are much better trained at diagnosis. Please book a first appointment with a psychiatrist and ask them, "What is wrong with me?" Don't tell them your diagnosis. Let the Dr. decide. See what the Dr. says. Do they say the same thing as the therapist or not?

[HidingFromEveryone]

@Mariezee44 Only Bipolar I has Mania. The other 4 kinds of Bipolar have Hypomania. Perhaps you are confused as to what Hypomania & Mania mean? Hypomania does not go up to full blown Mania. Hypo=under. Hypomania is less than Mania. I think of it as "Mania Lite" as in half the calories but all the trouble. I think of it as "half mania" because it is not as high as Mania. Please see the DBSAlliance . org website for more details. Please see the NIMH . gov website for more info.

SORRY for so much text, but as i research more I find my self carrying one of the symptoms! I also pace. As I said, sometimes I end up in a completely different room like, one time I was getting something from my dad's room downstairs, and ended up in the laundry room! When I get to the wrong room, I think , what the hell was it i was doing.. and I pace the room a few times. I have to go back and ask what I needed to do after.

[MusikkIzMiLiffee]

A couple MORE symptoms:

5. great self esteem, feeling like I'm the most gorgeous thing and looking in the mirror often. Vanity.

6. Finding myself in a completely different room I wanted to get to, terrible distraction.

I'm having a hard time understanding whether or not my mood swings could be hormonal? But there are some weird things in there that make me feel otherwise. I also have found very mild OCD and possible ADD do to my lack of focus.

[HidingFromEveryone]

@MusikkIzMiLiffee Your symptoms: (5) Inflated self worth - It is possible this is euphoric mania or hypomania grandiose thinking, delusional thinking, but I can not say for certain. (6) Distraction - ADD/ADHD is possible. I have ADHD and I do this too. Since I was 3 my mom would send me to my room to get my hairbrush & I'd return with socks. I couldn't remember what I went to my room for. This is common with ADD/ADHD. (7) Focus & concentration issues = OCD and/or ADD/ADHD. Can be both.

[HidingFromEveryone]

@MusikkIzMiLiffee Mental health terms "Sister Illnesses" or "Traveling Companions" mean mental illnesses that travel together in clusters. If you find one chances are you will find more. I have Bipolar II, OCD, ADHD, Social Anxiety and Generalized Anxiety. If you have Bipolar chances are good you also have OCD and/or ADD/ADHD and possibly an anxiety disorder. OCD & ADD/ADHD tend to travel together. Do not be surprised if you are told you have more than one illness.

[MusikkIzMiLiffee]

My possible symptoms:

1.Mood swings.Irritable mood,almost everyday now,during the evenings followed by sadness but not deep depression, then back to normal.

2.Not often,but the idea that I must clean the whole house and continue until everythings just about perfect.

3.Feeling some days going to school that that day I must work harder than usual.

4.Starting deep conversation with parents, when ended,feeling the pressure that I must make another conversation and find something else to talk about

[HidingFromEveryone]

@MusikkIzMiLiffee Addressing your symptoms:

(1) Mood Swings - may be hormone related and/or Bipolar. Mood Swings limited to the evening are a sign it could be Bipolar. In the evening is when Mania & Hypomania kick in. Energy rises instead of falls at the end of the day making sleep next to impossible. Moods can cycle in the evening for a person with Bipolar. Is this how you feel? (2) Cleaning - OCD! Definitely! That is what I did until I went on meds. Watch Ice Loves Coco. Coco does this.

[HidingFromEveryone]

@MusikkIzMiLiffee Your symptoms: (3) I don't know about this one.

(4) Pressure to speak is called "Pressure Speech" and is a Bipolar symptom. "Racing Thoughts" often accompany pressure speech. I did a video on racing thoughts. Check it out & see if it applies to you. If you pressure speech, racing thoughts & mood swings...chances are very good you have Bipolar.

[MusikkIzMiLiffee]

I need some help determing whether i might be bipolar because I've told my mom but she thinks its almost impossible because "Your only 14! Your not bipolar". But I seem to have quite a few symptoms but I reallky need some guidance in whether or not i may be, because my mom chances are, wouldnt bring me to a doctor to see because she already doesn';t believe me, but my sister has told me i could be, mainly as a joke because of my mood swings.. I'll say what some symptoms in the next comment..

[HidingFromEveryone]

@MusikkIzMiLiffee I will address your concerns point by point. 1. It IS possible to have Bipolar at 14. 2. Your mom is feeling panic that you may be ill. The response to panic is to denial. It isn't that she doesn't believe you. She doesn't want to have a sick child. She loves you very much so she is afraid for you. 3. In order to be diagnosed with OCD, ADHD or Bipolar you need to see a psychiatrist & they all specialize. Bipolar is a "mood disorder." Look for a doc that treats mood disorders.

[HidingFromEveryone]

@MusikkIzMiLiffee 3. Part of what you are experiencing is changing hormones due to your age. It is a volatile time when your hormones change, but that is only part of your problem. Hormones does not completely explain away what you are experiencing. 4. There are tests a person can take online to get a diagnosis of whether or not they have Bipolar, OCD, ADD/ADHD. I have never taken these test. I do not know how accurate they are. Maybe a test would show your mom you're sick & need help??

[HidingFromEveryone]

@MusikkIzMiLiffee Google "Bipolar test," "OCD test," & "ADD/ADHD test" and see what comes up. I have never looked at any sites with the tests. I have no idea what they are like. I just see them in my Google searches. Perhaps you would feel better if you took some tests?

You can try these sites to help you with your moods & behavior:

I've seen this video before+it's great...in fact I would love to see it used in the training of all mental health profs as it's very honest..

I was a senior mental health worker ,I shock NOT After a continual level of stress diagnosed with manic dep 4yrs ago after being on an emotional rollercoater,I've been sexually used,abused my male friends who I loved+trusted..always at my hypo manic phase.Amazes me how some ppl can use another "friend"+get our trust,then dump us like garbage Thanks !

[HidingFromEveryone]

@MsMagicalCat I never considered that it might go that that way. I'm strong so I don't have problems. If anything I use the man like my sis does. She has BP, too. This is an unexpected find in a female. I submitted 4 other vids on this topic and YT rejected them as offensive. This was the only only 1 they accepted. It is hard to get YT to take this topic and put it up. It is hard to get the YT audience to not object to the topic. People don't get it and they freak out. To me it normal.

[MsMagicalCat]

@HidingFromEveryone Thanks:. I noticed that YT like to stay "safe",,quite ironic as they let openly racist channels on here+make offensive,dangerous comments,,

,Hypomania+hypersexuality "can" ruin lives.esp as a woman,well yes the shame involved after the big "come down" is devastating So called male "friends" who I adored became evil opportunistics,no care to me whatsover:( alot of BP unwell woman would be safe if nurtured +supported through it ,this costs lives ,many thanks:)) Sophie

[HidingFromEveryone]

@MsMagicalCat The "Racing Thoughts" vid was used in an Australian medical school for several years to teach the docs in training what it is like for a bipolar person to experience racing thoughts. They asked me to give my personal OK to use the vid for that purpose. I said, yes. I thought it was great. I think Australia might be ahead of the curve with that kind of thinking.

[HidingFromEveryone]

@MsMagicalCat I am sorry you were treated so badly. That sucks for you. Sounds like they know how to read you and swoop in at the right moment to use you. They are vultures who take advantage of the opportunity AND they are not your friend. No one who uses you like that is your friend.

[hunterhearsthelmsy]

hiding from everyone i have a ques......i am 17 and i am very sensitive person i make frantic efforts to gain attention of people, i have very unstable thoughts and feelings, sometimes i fell like at the top of the world but at the other time i fell like lonely depressed and worst creature in this world.. and moreover i fell like the most perverted person on this earth.. i have very irrational sexual thoughts and feelings please tell me what can i do?

[HidingFromEveryone]

@hunterhearsthelmsy have you seen a psychiatrist who is a specialist in "mood disorders" for an assessment and possible diagnosis? i think that would be the first step. bipolar is a "mood disorder". if you are going up and down "on top of the world" is up and depressed is down. that puts you in the category of bipolar. i don't know what your sexual thoughts are or what they mean. are you into BDSM? if so, those are normal & no big deal. don't worry about BDSM thoughts. PM me & we can talk.

[hunterhearsthelmsy]

@HidingFromEveryone i live in india and its hard to find a good psychiatrist here and moreover i have hidden all this from my parents and friends. no i dont think its bdsm i first thought it could be B.P.D because i frequently have strong urges to hurt my self either by cutting or having destructive sexual thoughts which ruin my personal life. i have insomania .. , its hard for me to remember things, i also face difficulty in concentrating. my thoughts about any person can shift to extremes...

[HidingFromEveryone]

@hunterhearsthelmsy I lived in your country. I know exactly how difficult it is to obtain help. I feel 4 u. Things are not easy where u live. It is not accepted in your society. I used to be married to an Anglo Indian & nothing was easy for me. It feels like to attempt to get medical/mental care. It is really rough. I feel for you. Maybe there is a Western doc in your area practicing? Maybe you can go 2 them? I went to the American Embassy for a list of the American docs in the area.

[HidingFromEveryone]

@hunterhearsthelmsy I thought about your self diagnosis. I'd be very careful doing self diagnosis. If you go to a therapist or psychiatrist & they follow you and agree with your self assessment. You are very young. It is a time of experimentation. Just because you try on a skin does not mean you will you keep it. People your age try new things and then cast them off as something that does not fit.

[HidingFromEveryone]

@hunterhearsthelmsy have you seen a neurologist to rule out any physical illnesses in regards to your problems concentrating or remembering? it is a good idea to rule out any physical problems before you go to to the idea that you have a mental illness. have you had any head injuries? car accidents, motorbike accidents, passing out and hitting your head, any concussions? head injuries of all sorts can explain concentration, memory and focus problems.

[hunterhearsthelmsy]

@HidingFromEveryone well i live in india and if my parents came to knew that i have a personality disorder .. i dont know how will they react.. they will look at this as my way of excusing my failures as i had very bad school life..not because i dont want to do something, because i try my best but i am unable to cope up with my inner self. as soon as i want to do something my mind becomes very unstable and start having irrational thoughts thus all this has always led to failure in my life..

[hunterhearsthelmsy]

@HidingFromEveryone no i dont think its bdsm..i thought that it could be BPD because i had urges of harming myself and my sexual behaviour is too a kind of self destruction for my body. i have insomania...difficulty in concentrating and i dont feel the same person everytime.. if i have to do a important work then my mind has a feeling to just help me to reach failure even if i know thats wrong.. i am very sensitive to my environment and having unreal houghts is common for me..

[hunterhearsthelmsy]

i took some time to reply its a hard time going for me it is getting worser...i have recently discovered i suffer from autism too..many autistic symptoms are present in me. as i told my excessive and irrational sexual thoughts, i have a great mind but a hell lot different from others. i can even mess up simplest things, if i have crush on someone i can make my fantascy world and live with that person without even talking to her,i think i must let u first know my problems first.

[HidingFromEveryone]

@hunterhearsthelmsy people with autism can accomplish wonderful things in the US. there was a man named Dr. Burry who left medicine to start a HUGE investment firm. he set records the amount of money he made for his clients. he is famous. his firm was scion capital. you can look him up. he is an inspiration for everyone.

there is a film "temple grandin" about a PhD scientist pioneer in her field. the film about her life is inspiring. she is a real person.

[HidingFromEveryone]

autistic people do not look at things the same way. this is also their strength. you might want to try getting your thoughts out by writing them down or journaling. writing your thoughts down would be a healthy way to channel your thoughts and deal with them. it would be better than having them come out as obsessing on a female.

[ld21171]

I have been under docs care for a couple of years now, he just keeps changing pills & none of them have done anything except help me sleep better. It seems like the doc & the therapist don't listen to what I say & the different subjects I come up with in our short sessions. I feel like I am failing in all aspects of my life because I forget things, don't want to leave the house, I am even getting afraid to drive, etc. .. just wanted to say thanks for vid it helped & I don't feel so crazy now!

[HidingFromEveryone]

@ld21171 i feel the same. i left one shrink for not listening & almost killing me w/ OD. my most recent shrink put me on a dose that almost killed me. the docs are reckless in what they do and do not listen. i don't think they care. my therapist was uppity, didn't listen & treated me for something i do have no have. she was a moron. all of these people made me worse rather than better. i hang in there despite them not because of them. i hope you feel better now. be careful of ur docs & therapist

[MsMagicalCat]

@ld21171 you're not crazy man..remember ,psychiatrists are Dr.. subscribers.they make rash judgments on people's lives in less than an hour...we come out feeling angry,dismissed+clutching a script for tablets that are so toxic they fuck us up further,

,,I worked alongside them+they're idiots.Also for the record ,that profession it's has the highest level of suicide out of any.,I have yet to meet a decent one to treat my manic dep..makes one feel confident..not !..It's not your fault.!!.Sophie

[ThePAYT]

I have a question for HidingFromEveryone. Do you drink, if so, how does it affect you, and if not, how do people look at you in social situations. Also, have you ever had any financial trouble with this. Drinking, and this disease together have caused ALL of the problems I have had in my young adult life.

[HidingFromEveryone]

@ThePAYT When I was in my 20s I was a binge drinker, but I was not diagnosed at that time. Now I only have 2 drinks at a time. It makes me tipsy like anyone else.

I have gone on spending sprees due to manic episodes. This has led to financial trouble.

Are you under a doctor's care? If not, I would suggest you see a psychiatrist for help so you can get some relief.

Have you considered going to AA?

[Jacqueline904]

shit lol yea i lost alot of friends cause of my hypomania crap

[HidingFromEveryone]

@Jacqueline904 Why did you lose friends over this issue? I don't understand. Please explain. I hid my issue from my friends very, very well and never talked about it. They never knew. Boyfriends suspected something was wrong, but never girlfriends. Boyfriends all thought I was cheating on them because my driver was higher than theirs. Things became a mess. My doc took away a pill and now it is back. Imagine my surprise.

[xxaquirozxx]

Wow...this REALLY explains alot, I'm 22 years old and feel like I'm wasting away b/c I'm going through this.. It's like I'm my own inner demon and not only am I hurting the ones around me I'm hurting myself and I just want help!

[HidingFromEveryone]

@xxaquirozxx Have you looked into seeing a therapist., psychiatrist, or going to support groups? A really good support group is dbsalliance(.)org.

I'm glad the video opened your eyes and explained this to you. It is not something the medical community will tell you. Now that you are informed it is time to get help. When I first got help I saw a therapist and a psychiatrist. I found that a helpful and effective combo.

[mtlprodigy1]

I'm battling hypersexual issues right now, i am very suicidal. I really need help. Is there anyone who knows what i am going through. Please reach out and help me, male or female. Maybe we can exchange msn's. I am dying

[HidingFromEveryone]

@mtlprodigy1 If you are feeling this desperate for help I would suggest finding a good psychiatrist. Your situation is precarious and can not wait for help. You need meds ASAP. I am very sorry I did not answer you sooner.

dbsalliance(.)org this is a great support group.

Please check their site for a group near you.

[horse454]

@mtlprodigy1 I'm suffering from Bi-polar and had many suicide attempts a couple came very close. Believe me that's not the answer. Get help now, they can help you.

[HidingFromEveryone]

@pixiewilson42

While I agree with you the terminology

sucks. I disagree with you that the illness

does exist. I have had difficulty since I was 5. You can have your opinion, but you have

no right to tell me I do not have something

I most certainly do have.

[shogunly2]

hi i have a question  ! if you masturbate up to 3 times in a row and at least once daily , is that hypersexuality

[HidingFromEveryone]

no. hyper sexuality is greater than that.

[happilylil]

i like Vilift, i really love it, no side effects and really effective.

[HidingFromEveryone]

thank you for the info. it won't work for me though. the more serotonin i get the worse i get.

[LaurenFromMI]

i will kill myelf one day

[HidingFromEveryone]

I hope you don't. Please see a doctor and get some help. You don't have to feel so miserable.

[orangestoneface]

why

[HidingFromEveryone]

why what?

[orangestoneface]

the why went the wrong way, I was aiming for the suicidal lauren

[orangestoneface]

why

[LaurenFromMI]

Im fucked up right now. I should not be taking Adderall. I am manic as hell.

[HidingFromEveryone]

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you get your meds right soon.

[1787dude]

ya dont do that!!!thats bad, I stayed up for six days on that shit,It made me more psychotic than when I smoked ice for 4 days,I had no business doing that but I'd do it again.!.

[LaurenFromMI]

I quit taking it. I am pretty stable now. ;-)

[resolution1010]

I've experienced 4 of those symptoms and the hypersexuality has happened to me in the case of a friends with benefits relationship that i had decided on in a split second decision

[mtlsoul]

good video, I also can get paraniod and violent when hypomanic. This week has been bad, when I take my sleeping pills I sleep for six hours, and when i don't I get 3. Is friday night, have had 15-18 hours of sleep since sunday morning.

Thank you for sharing.

[MyRealityIsBetter]

I like this subject being brought to light, I covered in in my last channel and redid this video again in a vlog earlier and I spotted these videos...

[ibelikeunique]

great info....peace-kelli

[HidingFromEveryone]

[vanmaarwijk]
