This video hits home. I suffer from the same disorder i have the physical scars on my wrist and my soul. I am not ashamed...i dont hide my scars. I died by my own hand for 3 mins and they brought me back. I fight to live normally everyday....

I also have bipolar. I'm 15, and students and teachers alike are always either telling me to stop playing the system, or calling me a 'fucking nutter' in the librarians words. Thanks for making this video, it was really good to see someone likeminded.
Dianne, Thanks for sharing this. I am glad you gave me the link. btw, I am Ron Klein from the DBSA conference. Keep up the good work - I gave you a thumbs up!!!
Please watch "No Kidding Me too" the documentary by Joey Pantaleone .. There are good things happening .. Please get the word out.. Fight the stigma.. 6 minutes ago
Excellent video. Thanks very much for the Bible verses. Your story is very inspirational and Christ glorifying. I found it a great blessing. I live in Scotland
I have lived with bipolar for over 20 years now, I have now gone the past 5 years with no meds or doctor visits. Except for not being able to sleep well I feel pretty good for the most part. Exercise has always been a great venue to "quiet" my mind, I love to go on long walks or ride my bike several miles. Just because you have this illness doesn't mean you have to "become" the illness! To live is to suffer...and to survive is to find meaning in the suffering!
Living with Bipolar ah .... Its like Living in hell u dont even know when you are truely happy or truely sad ... Lets help one another just for sake of humanity :)
i take back what i just said. the video finally played and the last thing i needed was to hear another scripture. when my bipolar progresses into schizophrenia i'll have imaginary friends like jesus and god
Maybe that's just her way of coping with the disorder. Would you not agree that a religious belief is a much better way to cope with bipolar compared to drugs, suicide, or even excessive shopping? I think the answer is obvious.
it would've been awesome if my computer would decide to work when i want to seek help. it's ashame she has bipolar she's so pretty she could've be one of the lucky normal people.
Everyone sins even so called 'normal people'. I know that isn't a good reason to sin but when I am manic or depressed it is so hard to resist. My husband thinks if I had enough faith in God that my suicidal thoughs would go away. I can't help when the thoughts come into my mind but I am learning to not dwell on them and to remmber that it would be devistating to my kids and increase their chances of killing themselves.
pulling my hair,cutting my arms cant sleep,sleep 2 long 2 much,everybody hates me,everybody loves me,im the greatest,i have no self confidence ,im ugly,im hyper ,cant stop talking,suicide on the mind depression,crying,anger
I really enjoyed how you showed the different aspects of this disorder, it is very generelized, but I like how you put situations and feelings into pictures. I think cognitive therapy is very important here and also a society that is aware of this disorder. Thank you for putting this video online, I know myself that there are not many people who know about this, or who don't know about the details of this disorder....good luck to all of you out there...
The video is very well done, but I have to agree with 'heartache2009' - it statrs to get 'bad' when it comes to the religious part, imho it takes the great aspect away. Through this religious part you exclude the people who aren't religious and it doesn't necessarily mean when you are religious that it will help you to deal with this disorder.
I believe myself, but I reached a point where I even think that God cannot help me with this anymore.
I'm so glad you made this video. It really hits home. I wish people cared enough to educate themselves about this illness instead of making uninformed judgments. Thank you and God Bless.
Thanks! Yes I (Grant) am 16! It was a very challenging short film to make, but it was worth the hard work making this video to hopefully help educate those that don't have the disorder, or to help those that do have it.
IMO, good until the religious stuff comes on. Sorry but I don't go for it. Religion can be a problem for manic depressives. I get my hope from cognitive therapy.

Suicidal thoughts and faith don't correlate, you're right. Good for you being able not to dwell on them.
