Hello there,

I'm really pleased this has helped you (and from the looks of it, so many other people). I have found one of the hardest things to deal with while trying to keep yourself together and in check, is the loneliness that I often find myself experiencing. It can easily unravel your thoughts into total chaos!

@recury Hey man I'd just like to thank you for this video, It pretty much sums up what I'd like to say myself as well about this disorder, I have recently been diagnosed with it myself and I'm not really all that understanding of it, and it's frustrating when family, friends, loved ones don't understand it either or want to be around me because of it, but this has given me hope man, and I really thank you for that, cheers dude, have a good one

You are an inspiration, thank you so much for sharing this video, it has encouraged me to know I am doing the right thing and to continue forward however hard it gets ... Good Luck to you, I hope you achieve all you set out to, you deserve this ... thank you once again x

Some times we just have to go for it and worry about the problems later. (re getting a degree for example) Your dreams need to be realized and can be with your effort of will and intelligence.

I noticed that I was afraid of my own temper so I never showed it at all. I just festered inside myself because I knew I would go too far if I showed it. And manic oh boy just show me a reason to celebrate. With meds this has been helped. Understanding would help from the public, good luck.

i understand exactly what's going on with you. i'm continually dealing with this and i'm very scared. i don't know what to do next but i do know that your video was very comforting for me. i thought i was the only one in the world who felt this way. good luck and stay in touch.
