I stumbled upon your videos because I am trying to find out what individuals who have bipolar disorder deal with and experience. I legitimately started having a panic attack once i started watching this because I relate so heavily to it. I'm seeking help because I feel like something is wrong. I just dont know exactly what, or how to deal with it.

@GrenzenlosXD It's good that you are seeking help if you are feeling this way. Sometimes it seems we wait until things are really bad before trying to do something about it.

Bravo. I can only imagine how much courage it took to do this. I'm sure you are helping people on a regular basis, without even knowing it, by having this up. The world can appear hostile when we're lying awake at night feeling alone in our battles. But, judging by the posts that have been left here, I would imagine you have an army of team-mates, right there with you. And those are only the ones that commented. Once again; bravo. I wish you peace and happiness.

@oregonjaybird Thanks! I was going through a rough time when I posted this. I'm doing well now though.

Ok so I get EXACTLY like this and I try to explain it to my mom but she just thinks I am overexaggerating when I tell her this kind of stuff. What would you advise to make her understand more? What did you tell your dad?

[BipolarStateofBeing]

@chambers2426 I never really told him anything. He could just tell over the course of a few weeks that my behavior was getting more and more strange and that is when he took me to the hospital.

i have a 'gut ;)' feeling all your guys' brains are the most powerful (exponentially) and are on the evolutionary track toward telekinetic ability

I am going through this kind of episode at the moment. It's not fun. And i make it worse at times by thinking I'm ok and cold stopping my meds. But in this mood, at this point, i can't trust myself around people. I was at a friend's as his wife was eating. All I could hear. Everything in my world. was her chewing. Chewing. Chewing. I had to go or i would have flipped. it's hard for some people to understand. if they have not been through it.

@jordannoelle9 its the most scary thing to think some people live with that every day...

[jordannoelle9]

@kezdodik1 im glad u had that experience on shrooms so u could understand what she is saying..and hell yeah it sucks feeling like that every single day. its a feeling that i try and try and try to deny and ignore but eventually ill just snap and go crazy..it just stays with you..

[jordannoelle9]

dang i thought i was the only one who felt like this. its seriously blowing my mind how accurate your description is...especially when you said its like sensory overload of everything around you being absorbed and youre apart of everything, just a floating soul. its hard to connect to some origin....its confusing. i cant talk to anyone when im like that. but yeahhh sometimes it is like Ecstasy soooo exhilarating and joyous then other times its just tooo much and i break down.
