I am Bipolar The beginning of a tragic childhood

[hatshepsut2049]

I really dislike when people Label themselves. Yes i suffer from bipolar BUT I am not bipolar. People more live up to the text book bipolar personage and act out more when they put labels on themselves. You are not the disease, nor are you or myself a victim. You are beautiful, and you must make everything that has happened to you good for you. Be strong and keep your head up.

@hatshepsut2049 I don't think she meant it that way anyway.

[HardeyLeone]

Do you have BPD also? Just a thought.

[TheAndr00e]

nice video...I believe death might be the exit of our soul from this planet, but the reasons why we are here are to experience karma and true love. Things happen that our beyond our control or belief sometimes, which is why we have to acknowledge their is a higher power at work.

[doogle1071]

I feel for your loss, my wife is Bipolar and has a different story with hardships, I just want you to know that you can regenerate the state of happiness that you have had, and become fulfilled in a way that you have never experienced, you have one parent that aches to have you find him, most people reject him out of hand not understanding why bad things happen, and I shall pray that Christ visits you in person and shows you new things plenty of us Love you more than you know.

Do you have some difference between your eyes?Meaning is one just a little bit more closed than the other?Excuse my weird question,its just that look like it does.

[RETIREMESOON]

JUST READ " AN UNQUIET MIND " It's about a doctor with Bipolar that had a Disney childhood.The disease comes out whether you live with Mikey Mouse or whether Mikey Mouse mollests you.

This is a genetic disease that comes out with stress or age.IT'S COMING EITHER WAY !!!

[eva2110]

sounds so much like me... omg...

[BipolarHeather]

sharing your story must have been hard, sharing it gets it out there. I am bipolar myself and I wont say that I know what your going thru cause everyone is differnet, but I understand...

your in my thoughts

[joebstarsurfer]

I'm fifteen, and bipolar. It gets me in trouble a lot because of these outbursts of anger. It got me expelled from school. Is that the manic stage? The depressions worse. I was cutting for a while, but they sent me away and experimented new drugs on me. Fucked up, right? I don't anymore though. Btw, I haven't slept in five days, is that manic too?

[eva2110]

@siccud I think yes. I'm 52 and I just discovered that I'm bipolar... I've always lived on a roller-coaster, but in the last 3 yrs I've kinda ruined my life... siccud - take good care of yourself, stay very close to the people you trust, inform yourself about bipolar and tell everyone you love to get informed too! It's very important that others understand you - otherwise you might seriously p*ss them off after a while..

[RETIREMESOON]

@eva2110 WOW ,I'm 52 and I was just diagnosed with Bipolar.I am educating on it and putting a treatment plan together.Exercise,no booze or drugs,meds,therapy and education and regular sleep patterns everynight..

The people around me are actting a little crazy though.Some say I'm NOT Bipolar and some say I'm a inmate that needs to be treated like a crimminal ?

WTF ??

Diagnosis good ,people around me are confusing me.

[eva2110]

everything is confusing me right now... I'm completely alone- no family near me, except my children who are too young to help me... pretty scary... still, now that I know I have some hope.

[RETIREMESOON]

@siccud Differnt sleep patterns,eatting patterns or sexual patterns are rellated to the phases of Bipolar.

I barely slept for months when manic and lost 30 lbs from walking and a lack of hunger.

LITHIUM will get rid of the Manic side but can leave the depression and anxiety side to treat.

[siccud]

@RETIREMESOON I've lost like fifty pounds from not eating

[BenP6395]

I like your videos and suffer from terrible depression and anxiety. I'm pretty sure it's manic depression. It's such a hard thing to deal with on a day-to-day basis. I'm starting to fight it hard though and create better thought patterns. But it still just takes control. I'm very sorry to hear about your tragedy. When things like that happen it for sure hurts and will stay with you for a longtime. Well I hope you are doing good.

[cheesebrainrox123]

hey i was diagnosed with bi polar just this month and its been hard im only a kid years old too and i dont know how to handle it

[alientrail]

i am bipolar myself it's not good been manic for many days now and i can't sleep

and i hallucinate a lot,I have not had anything that dramatic happen to me but I still got it,but runs in my family,anyway you are an inspiration.

[quinnytq]

i no wat u mean

[RESIFan2]

So can bipoar be trigged off? ur not just born wth it and how far back in ur family can it go from to you?

[Rawego]

hang in there. no pity or tears here, worse things have happened. we are all very strong and don't even know it. gosh, your natural color is so much better on you, you have no idea :))

[TheDonny2014]

That story you told about your sibling brought tears to my eyes

[littleorangeladybugs]

before you was diagnosed, could you tell something was wrong with you

[littlequeen64]

I know.I think i've felt like an orphan since i was small,though i had a family (alcoholic & disfuncsional).No matter how old i get,i feel alone,defensive & over-protective of myself.Like,for instance,DON"T FUCK WITH ME or ELSE.If i have to defend myself physically or if someone puts me down emotionally,watch out,because i will get right in their face and rip them apart.I feel like i have to protect the child side of me.Yea,been in therapy 20 yrs,but it is ingrained way deep.Survival mode.....

[RaRa10201]

my moods constantly changing from depressed to really happy and i talk fast and seem really hyper and then ill be crying and cutting tired and ive looked up symptoms and it seems to connect, im scared to ask anyone or do anything about it.. please help?

[Sunshyne276]

I am *so* sorry for your losses, I know how hard it is, especially losing a sibling. I lost my brother earlier this year, and have been having a rough time with it. It must have been very traumatic for you, to have seen the accident. *Hugz* Hope you post more videos!

[livinbipolar]

@Sunshyne276 Thanks for the condolences. I just don't want to put a pity party on here. I just want to explain how my condition came about...it is hard but

i am trying to move forward, but I always end up taking a step back ,,ya know

[redcomet2010]

@livinbipolar wow I just want to im sorry u had to go through that.I know sometimes life hands us things that we nver want but we end up havin 2 live w/ &its hard.I know a friend that is bipolar &also was in foster care 4 most of her young life.&that triggered it for her too..also I was recently diagnosed as having a hypomanic episode..pretty much I can describe it as my mind raced like I was thinking REALLY fast and i felt like I wanted to jump out of my skin.it is weird/ really sucks lol

[redcomet2010]

@livinbipolar I dont know if you have tried this but execise seems to really help me out ...like 30 minutes to an hour of good cardio like an eliptical or swimming or jogging ....really calms my nerves and lets me just stop and think calmly

[livinbipolar]

Yeah that would have some symptoms

[RapidCycling07]

I question whether or not I am bipolar. Only when I am feeling really depressed or anxious is when I think something is definitely not kosher about me. As far as hypomania is concerned, if it is hypomania that is, I get very driven to do work and organize everything. I also drive faster and have more road rage. I also think that I laugh too much and use so many puns. I am interested in checking out your other videos.
