    I’m ADHD and I’m bipolar. I found sexuality in my teens and found it was a type of fake panacea for my mental problems I went through as a teen. It made me comforted and made me not think about my troubles. The hyper sexuality came later in my life and boy did it cause me problems later in life. It turned into an addiction and got me into some serious trouble. I didn’t know how to control it. It controlled me. That’s when it became scary.

    I got diagnosed 19 years ago now!! It’s been awhile. My bipolar 2 has gotten better but it only happened in the last 3 years or so. I had depression like you wouldn’t believe!!! I hated myself. I hated the world. I hated everything that I came into contact with!! Then one day about 3 years I finally finally learned how to love myself and appreciate who I truly am. I learned how to laugh at my shortcomings and accept that I wasn’t perfect and if people didn’t like me or didn’t want to be around me, that would be fine. My point is I found peace on my own and it wasn’t a therapist or medication that did it for me. I simply looked in the mirror one day and told myself that I loved myself and decided to forgive everyone that hurt me and forgive myself all the shit I did. Anyway I’m feeling better. God bless everyone who reads this!!!❤

I was diagnosed with BP 2 … Im happy to finally have a better understanding of my last 8 years of confusion. Torture & why I’ve faced hell in the human form . Now i have to start this journey of finding my best way to recover & rebuild my life !

    I think some people may also be triggered by another’s condition and they are putting up a fence around some mine field they are trying to avoid. Everyone has a threshold of tolerance of different things. They may not be as insightful and deal with their own triggers and issues so they feel they have to avoid the other person. Wonderful conversation I learned so much. Thank you.

    I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2006. From my own experience I don't believe my condition was to be treated with medication because I believed my condition was triggered by abnormal family back ground that i had. For example my mother rejected me and I didn't know my father. One of my family member constantly remembered that I was a bastard and i was not as important as the other kids. On top of it I was an illegal immigrant in the country. Eventually, I ran away from home. To cut the story short, I met a man of God on TV who told me what Jesus had done for me, how valuable and wealthy in Christ I am and for this believe to come to reality, I have to confess this reality every day and live by them. The more l listened to this Man of God, the more excited I was feeling in my Spirit. i became invisible, l began to see my self as very important in the society, very wealthy and powerful which I desire to be to prove my to my family that I was important. I enjoyed the feelings and I became very highly creative in my thinking. i would come up with different business ideas . i was very bold and I experienced high energy. i would go on the street and preached Jesus Christ, I would preach and preach trying to convinced people that Jesus Christ is the way, However, I noticed that I was been resentful by others and I didn't understand why. Eventually, my family member called the ambulance and I was taken into the hospital where I was diagnosed with manic bipolar effective disorder characterized with grandiose ideas. The doctors placed me on Community Treatment Order because I refused to take medication as I didn't agree that I have mental illness. Although, I knew I had a problem but I believed I had a solution to my problem which was the word of God and I was not going to allow anyone to take it a away from me. I lost my marriage and the custody of my children was given to their fathers. Oh my God, I felt like dying. i went from being confident to been very low in my mood. i was in and out of the hospital. To cut the story short, I have managed to stay well, focused, and start a Real Estate business and start creating contents to help others who are suffering from Bipolar Disorder. You can check me out on UA-cam Wumi Oni 7 STEPS YOU MUST TAKE TO CONQUER BIPOLAR EFFECTIVE DISORDER. By the way, the name of the Man of God who taught me the word of God that changed my life is Pastor Chris Oyahkilome. You can find his messages on UA-cam.

    had some crazy ass trips while on ssri and psychedelics, also have taken psychedelics before taking ssris. i personally didn’t find it to be a blunted effect, just as potent, but personally i think people with fucked up serotonin systems shouldnt use psychedelics and ssris together because the highs and lows become bad. I do think microdosing could replace ssris but the dose would have to be extremely low, also people taking 25ug of acid thinking it’s a microdose might want to reconsider, 25ug can send you to space.

    1) thank you for your good, long service to the U.S.! 2) I was Desert Storm Air Force. So, since you were Army and used weapons and ran and did more PT I will say "thank you for protecting me"! 😅 3) 30 years active-duty is super impressive managing Bipolar! I only did 4 years and wasn't diagnosed until 1995, (a year after honorable discharge. ) As I look back before my diagnosis I say to myself: "no wonder". 😊

    It's amazing and scary how in 2024 ( when I'm watching this video), we still know so little about the brain and mental disorders. We can fly a human to the moon, put them at the bottom of the ocean, yet the brain is a mystery like the universe. 200 years from now scientists will look back at us today and laugh at how primitive our technology and understanding of the brain is (was).

    Avoid lithium, the VA prescribed it to me for eight years. In my opinion it destroyed my teeth. $32,000 later I have full mouth restoration- all new teeth. Get on Lamotrigine. It does wonders and my only side effect is a little dry mouth. It is aka Lamictal.

    Within the first 17m, I just had 80% of my questions on psychosis answered that my psyche couldn’t. Apparently I’ve been psychotic quite a few times in the past 5 years and NO ONE had any idea, including myself. Just like Victoria, my psychotic features were presented during mania and they weren’t scary AT ALL. If anything, it helped me grow into my faith more lol. 😂

    Someone needs to study this man and how he is able to grow such an impressive 'stache. Goals.

    I love his explanation of it being circular, it's so accurate. I see so much stigma for the word "bipolar" I would rather it be called "manic depression." It's more descriptive and less easy to use as an insult.

      I agree manic depression..and depression is not a mental disorder even animals can experience depression..mostly in captivity..it's not because of chemical imbalance in our brain..anybody can go into a manic state, depression or both..many different factors can cause this..drug abuse,physical abuse..environmental conditions,stress,impacful life situations.ect.
