Bipolar II

This video was made during the depression phase of my bipolar disorder. I felt better after making this, I hope that it will help people understand what it is like to live with bipolar.

Thanks for sharing. I also have bipolar II and struggle everyday. The illness lies to you. Bipolar waits patiently like a demon and stricks at any time, dragging you down with it. Continue to stay strong and never ever give up. You are in my prayers.

You're right, bi-polar gives you wonderful highs and then without warning send you crashing down. I'm currently creating a list of coping strategies so that I can hurry and distract myself as soon as I notice my mood shifting from high to low. Also it will help to control just how high my mood gets. The worst part of my highs are my rapid speech, i talk so much I can hardly shut up when I'm on a high.

I know how you feel. I also have bipolar II and it's killing me. One minute I'm happy and energetic the next minute I'm sitting on the floor screaming with tears coming out my eyes, unable to stand up... It's horrible. When I'm manic I worry all the time if I will get depressed soon and try to find reasons to stay alive before it happens, and when I'm depressed all I can think about is death.

I just wish it all ended. Even if I have to give up my life for it...

Hi Mitja545, have you seen a doctor? You know there's medication for the symptoms of bipolar? I know it's hard, sometimes I feel like I live life walking through a swamp and I'm hoping i don't drown. Try to find a way to express yourself during the manic cycles too. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh my god. That's exactly how my typical days are there are times I'd be soo happy and than I'd be really sad and feel low self esteem and there be times where I'm super happy than sad to a point i break down to tears I haven't been diagnosed but I'm scared that I have this

I'm afraid that i might have that. I was diagnosed with depression 6 months ago. I have times when i feel better but i haven't told a about them to anyone because i didn't think it was important. I've tried 2 medications, they were both SSRI. They didn't work and i started to have weird side effects. For example i was scared of my own hands and toes and my moods started to go up and down many times a day. Please tell me what you think about this. Should i tell someone?

Sorry for bad english.
