im bi-polar diagnosed at age 3 but i did have lots of signs at birth right now im currently get thru school but its soooo hard,I was also hoslptized at age 7 but got out and went back in them at age 10,
Thanks for this David, I've been on meds/out of hospital for about 18 months. It's better but it's still not easy. Just trying to get on with things. All any of us can do, sick or not, right? Keep fighting the good fight, I'll be looking out for more clips. Cheers
You must keep your self on a routine schedule, wake up time, bedtime and everything in between....not working can make this harder. Sleeping during the day ruins your night sleep too.....
Thank you David for posting! I have Bipolar too I was diagnosed 14 years ago...its been a very rocky road and it took a very long time for me to find the right medication...I still have trouble maintaining a good good sleeping slleeping shedule though I sleep 8 10 hrs a night, just sometimes I will sleep longer and it will throw me off. Its a definite battle and difficult illness to live with but the most important thins is to not give up on yourself!!!
I hate my disorder....even on my meds i cant stand being who i am. I hate my racing thoughts i hate being smarter than most people i am around. I hate the suffering the emptiness i feel inside. I have been in and out of mental institutes since 2000. When i tried to kill myself i slit my wrist and coded for 3 mins in the hospital till they brought me back. IT has ruined my life...cost me my family...cost me everything
i was diagnosed being bipolar at 18 ..... answer this ....how many of you have ever said to yourself i wish i wasnt so smart or now that im older (35) i say i wish i wasnt so aware of my suroundings ......also my body rings w/ energy like buzzing sometimes ... i always think outside the box why cant i think normal ?.what is normal? and if there is a god why would he create me to have to take meds ? i feel like everything is not as it should be like we are being decieved .. enslaved..?
I was diagnosed in 1996. You sound very much like most of us! The meds are much better now then they were back then. I had to take tons of meds until I find a combination that worked. The newer antipsychotics seem to work the best for most people. Saphris is particularly good and doesn't cause weight gain. Fairly new. It also helps with post-traumatic stress so it helped me let go of a lot of past horror!
Just remember sometimes it's never ALL your fault or illness!
You're very brave folse12, to post this. Be brave.
i have bipolar 2 since forever, started from high school till now until i'm 34. i've been hospitalized more than once, tried to kill myself but thankfully no more suicidal feelings. i do get high but when it's high, it's crazy. i can't cope when i'm high..........and when the down time comes, it's very hard to even wake up. i don't know. in the end, i hope i won't ended up killing myself because this illness, sometimes, do overwhelmed me.
i was diagnosed around 9 but had signs of it since birth, i was an insomniac as a baby and never grew out of it, from the beg of school i never did well, always had trouble keeping friends, they figure it's because my dad was very old, and my mom was very young, still a child basically, he was a rapist, obviously he was unstable, so, lucky me, gets to live with his mistakes. my health insurance won't cover therapy or meds, so i self medicate, it gets me through, i just wish it would go away.
@xXxXBleedPurpleXxXx hey thanks for comment. i have lots of insomnia bouts. i stayed up all night last night. i was soo manic and still am. well knowledge = power to overcome. get a good pyschiatrist to get right meds. and counseling. do whatever u can or try what u can. and i can be a regular friend. take care
@folse12 oh to be able to have therapy would be great. i hate the meds, i've been on what seems like every pill on the planet for anti depression and anxiety no combo of any seemed to do anything for me. most days i need more spiritual guidance, my two biggest fears about living with bipolars are that one, i'll never get married, who's going to want to put up with me, two, because of the decisions i have made while in manic states, i don't think god will forgive, so my ultimate fear is hell.
Thank you For sharing !!!! I have bipolar 2 and I always wonder how other people do it Im on a lot of meds too and have been hospitalizeds twice . Do you have bipolar 1 or 2?
Fair play to you for making this video. I have been suffering for over 10 yrs now.
I love the high but people around me don't...lol. I can't get high due to mood stabilisers, but I'm so tempted to quite the drugs and have a good couple of months high. Only problem is dealing with the other side which always seems lower than previous.
