beeing bipolar and seeing how others handle it was reliving, especially the not sleeping part hit me hard, greetings from germany, old me misses your old channel, new me appreciate your new one

@@zoki4291 i have friends with npd. i specifically asked for this video to clear up the assumption that all people with npd are abusive, as you seem to think

@@MGH375 Ah my bad, my bad, I didn't want want to come up as if I'm assuming that they are abusive. I grew up with both parents with npd and it affected my life in a certain way (they weren't particularly abusive, but they were bad parents which screwed up a lot of things for both me and my siblings), so my thought process came from that + the fact that I read somewhere that most npd people are unaware that they are npd because it's difficult for them to comprehend that.

That would be a great idea!

@@zoki4291 I’m really sorry that you had that experience, and I understand the struggle of growing up with mentally ill people wholeheartedly, but I don’t think using anecdotal evidence to talk about a diverse group of people is helpful. People with NPD and other personality disorders are actually more likely to be abused by others, and not only that, the development of personality disorders is heavily influenced by childhood trauma. I understand where you’re coming from, but people with mentall illnesses, personality disorder, etc. aren’t a monolith and the kind of sentiment that you’re spreading right now could be hurtful to anybody with a personality disorder who is reading. I’m sorry that you had to be raised by assholes again. I know how hard that can be.

Would be nice, not a talked of much topic

Hey, would you mind telling me how it affects you? I've been wondering if I have it, I don't like want to diagnose myself off of you, I just want to hear about it affects like actual people with adhd cuz lists of symptoms are kind of confusing and symptoms come out in different ways with different people

@@marshmallow4646 i don’t have adhd but my sister does. symptoms are usually split between hyperactivity/impulsivity and inattentiveness and some people may have only one type or a combo of the two. my sister has literally every symptom you could have so i thought it would be helpful to put them into real life perspective for you. for inattentiveness she finds it really hard to focus on things like for example in school she’ll be listening to the teacher and she can see the teacher is talking but nothing the teacher says enters her brain. then this causes her to not understand anything in class and therefore affects her academic grades. you have to explain something a million times to her before she actually retains any information you say. also when you’re explaining something or simply having a conversation everything distracts her even just a strand of hair in her face causes a 10min distraction so when talking to her she’s constantly going off on tangents because she can’t focus on the one topic we’re talking about. it also happens when we watch movies her attention span is so short that she can’t follow along properly with the plot of the movie so she’s constantly asking questions about what’s going on. for hyperactivity/impulsivity when having a conversation she may be the one dominating it and never letting you get a word in or she’s constantly interrupting you to talk about something completely different that just popped into her head. if she’s not the one talking then she’ll be fidgeting with anything within her reach. in class she sometimes gets out of her seat and walks around to other students maybe asking for a pen when you’re not allowed to do that. she also gets sudden bursts of creativity like when people started getting tiktok famous everything she did was centred around becoming tiktok famous then when she got bored of that she started designing clothes and wanted to be a fashion designer. then after a few weeks she stopped doing that and decided she was going to make jewellery to sell on depop. now she’s obsessed with doing her schoolwork so she can become a lawyer so her hobbies come and go in just a matter of weeks. when she was younger she did dance classes and after a few lessons she would say she didn’t like it and wanted to do a different style of dance even though she had just been begging our mum for weeks to do this style. so overall it affects her in every aspect of her life: in social interaction, her hobbies and her school life. i hope this was helpful :)

When I was younger my friend kept saying "I'm so OCD" and "omg sorry it's just me being OCD, I do that sometimes" and I hateddd that so much!! People with OCD struggle a lot more than her wanting to organize her pens because it bothered her, why can't people understand that?

Yesss. Absolutely same for me. I didn't know what adhd was and I immediately knew I had it once I found out what it actually is. Got my diagnosis now at 19. We need better education and less stigma

@@louise4106 your sister seems to have a very serious case of it

this

So true

This hit me really hard too

For real. I was diagnosed until age 27 in July this year 😬 been doing great with meds but yes! It feels so weird (in a good way) being able to relate with people.

Right?!

Exactly

It makes me so mad when people say I have it just cause of mood flips. Or when people tell me "everyone is a little bipolar" it just makes me so mad

Autism and ADHD are up there level with this.

@@douglaskocsis9025 one of my friends at school once said I’m probably bipolar and I was upset because I’m not(last time I checked)I’m just a very emotional person.

Yep.. I’m bipolar and my dad is OCD and it’s got nothing to do with cleaning it’s counting ceiling tiles and checking the locks over and over again and not being able to take a different route home than you did there even if the roads closed

SAAAAAAMMMEEE 😩

Agreed I always put things off I have a laundry basket in the back of my car atm and still haven't brought it up just because I don't want to shell the energy but have all the time in the world to do it. Using my productivity on things that I shouldn't

Dont worry i am the same and im not Bipolar. Give urself time. Having a dirty room or even not showering for afew days is not the end of the world. When you finally feel like it, you'll do whatever u want to do.

Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.

Can you help me with the reliable source. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.

YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

Ive done shrooms last month in my house. It taught me how severely traumatized I was from alcohol. I healed from many mental traumas from my past and was able to forgive, let go. Shrooms to me is a remedy not a vice. I even felt more refreshed the morning after. So no hangovers. No depression mood for days. No anxiety.I now have a more calm mind

How can i find him? Is he on Instagram

Is it worth it

@@michellemccully5685 If you have anyone in your life that you care about, yes. I spent a decade not living for myself, only for those around me. I got proper treatment finally and now I can say I live for both myself and them and I find happiness in the little things. I learned life isn't about being happy, it's about finding those moments of calm/happiness and sharing those moments with people I care about.

That's when I started getting better. I honestly didn't even care to notice anything was different until I had my own family and saw how it affected them. They are my motivation to continue treatment chemically and mentally. Keep up the fight my friends, you are not alone ❤

This! I don’t like when my therapist asks me what I’m feeling. I don’t know what I feel in the moment. It isn’t until after the cycle I notice stuff and go back.

When im tweaking the fuck out and i NEED to talk to somebody because i feel like im about to explode so i call a friend and as soon as they answer it either all comes in all at once or goes completely blank. There is no possible way to describe that to somebody

Bipolar 2 is discount bipolar 1

@@MM-pv5tp An incredibly ignorant comment

@@BigArnieNumeroUno Why? “Bipolar” literally means “two ends of an axis”, which fits the description for bipolar 1: mania and major depression. Bipolar 2 does not have mania so therefore is not “two ends of an axis”. I feel like “halfpolar” describes bipolar 2 better, but it wouldn’t have much of a ring to it.

@@MM-pv5tp Bipolar 2 swings from hypomania ie on the mania spectrum to the depressive pole. Both mania and hypomania can have devastating consequences for the sufferer. Bipolar 2 involves far greater time in the depressive stage, more frequent episodes, more suicide attempts and actual deaths. Bipolar 2 has 20 times the frequency of attempted suicide compared to the general population and a horrific 1 in 5 will complete suicide. Not much of a discount or half polar. This description trivialises a severe mental disorder every bit as severe as bipolar 1.

@@BigArnieNumeroUno Sure bipolar 2 has more suicide attempts, but not that much. 34% of people with bipolar 1 has considered suicide, along with 36% of people with bipolar 2.

If you don't mind me asking, how was it like to live with undiagnosed bipolar most of your life? How did it feel when you got your diagnosis and realized you were bipolar?

Hi

hey checkmark

wassup checkmark

Hey

That!

Yes, it's not something most people really know. I know that a lot of women suffer with PPD but idk what that's like. It must be so difficult to talk about.

@@mridul7639 I’m currently 6 months pregnant with my first child so it has been something that I have been a little interested in knowing more about. If there are any warning signs, and just to spread awareness.. I think it would be a great episode to the series!

This

@@baileyboudreaux3199 Congrats! I hope things go smoothly for you and the baby. I've seen people discuss it with their partners about PPD, like how to communicate if you end up in that situation and the support that might help.

Not the same but I lost my grandpa and second cousin to bipolar disorder.

Im so sorry to hear that. I want to say though, it IS hereditary so I hope you are monitoring it/seeking therapy as it can spring up at nearly any point. My dad wasn't bipolar until 27, I became bipolar around 16, my aunt became bipolar in her 30s. You aren't guaranteed to have it of course, but its def worth it to keep it in mind for your future. May you find some peace

This was so heartbreaking to read. I hope your family is able to heal over time. Thank you for being compassionate and open to learning about how bipolar affects us.

im bipolar and this is how it is for me !! im too unmotivated to hurt myself, then i get manic and im full of this restless energy anf discomfort. sometimes everything gets so overwhelming when you're manic, you just have to cry

My mania causes me to starve myself sometimes because I get into doing so many things at once that I forget oh shit I need to eat because I’m a human. Mania is strange because you can have mixed episodes as well.

For me, the depression is like being a vampire living in the dark for 500 years, just waiting for the sun to come up. The manic part is realizing you wasted 500 years pretending to be a vampire, and being disgusted with the waste.

this is how it is for me too!! i am a lot more impulsive when manic and that’s when i’m most likely to do something like hurt myself, when i’m depressed i don’t really have the energy or willpower

That's also true for me, worst was going to a funeral manic. Shit broke me.

my brain jumbled that as PB2, the powdered peanut butter But yes, I agree the disorder needs attention. I just found out a friend has bipolar disorder & I felt so uninformed. People should have greater access to the knowledge & ways to support themselves/others who need it

I have it as well. I felt very seen because of this video and the title shocked me to find out someone actually discussing it. And acknowledging that there are two types as well.

@@skytakami101 what are the differences if you don't mind me asking?

I have BP2 as well, and hide the hell out of it (as much as possible). I had NO idea that 20% of us check out? Not surprising I guess...the depression hits and the thought of "I'm done" is constant. If there was a way to do it without hurting other people I care about, no doubt would have by now.

@@sarshanewton2647 bp2 tends to be associated with hypomania rather than full mania(shorter less intense mania) but I think the lines are pretty blurred from my understanding

@@haicheng I definitely recommend researching what is called "mixed mania" or "dysphoric mania"! Almost all of my diagnosed episodes have been dysphoric mania - so I've got lots of energy, I can't sleep, but I feel horrible, and all of my thoughts are dark, unpleasant, depressing or anxiety inducing. It sucks :( best wishes!

I hate mania so much lol I thought I was the only one. I literally can’t sit still and I’m cognizant of how fast I’m talking. I can literally feel myself spiral

Me too I wanna be on his channel for that topic because I have a lot to say on it and I’ve been struggling my whole life with it and I want to bring awareness on it because people treat anxiety as if it’s not a mental illness and I feel like it needs to be brought up more

same here, i’d love to see a video about Anxiety and another about Depression. both are common, yet at the same time are very misunderstood. as someone who has both it’d be really nice to see Anthony talk about them

God yes, as someone with GAD the amount of stigma despite being so common is insane

I have GAD, it kinda sucks but my level is pretty low these days.

Yes...anxiety/panic disorder needs to be talked about. It can be pretty awful.

Completely agree! I always ask people "oh when did you get diagnosed" when they say "oh I'm so bipolar" same with OCD and ADHD. It feels so dismissive, I'm not just a bit moody, my brain can't regulate my moods properly and it's really tough to live with sometimes. I make the effort every day to try and stay stable, it isn't a joke.

I was called "bipolar" before I even got the diagnosis (like a year before, and i just had a minor mood swing) from my classmate, and it upset me really bad. After telling him I got the disorder and he was like "oh, i thought you actually had the diagnosis back then" and i was like ??? :/ Since then I have had a hard time accepting my diagnosis because of pure denial, since I dislike being predictable or described by my diagnoses.. :x

I find this exact statement super triggering and i feel like I’m constantly educating people on why it’s not okay to say.

Hey, so I'm just kinda confused and was wondering if you could help me figure myself out because I'm thinking I might be bipolar, have adhd, anxiety, depression, something along those levels and I really just need some help from someone who's in this situation (also before anything I would live to get professionally diagnosed but my mom won't let me, even though she's been able to go and diagnose my other siblings so idk, guess she still thinks I'm the perfect child that needs to stay perfect, whatever. Anyways, sorry) My dad was bipolar, and also an alcoholic so I've seen others with such disorder and idk for sure but I remember my mom mentioning bipolar disorder could be genetic so idk? And also I will get super energetic at points and spend hours drawing and spewing out art and then some days feel super sad and see no point in life anymore and feel on the edge of suicide so yeah. And I mean, it only happens a couple times a year and I realized kinda a pattern or reasoning behind why I get so sad so idk if it's just seasonal depression or I don't know, sorry for bothering you I understand this is probably long, and frankly I really do hope I'm not bipolar because this paragraph is kinda a result of a breakdown I had for realizing this could happen. Thanks for any help. I don't know what's wrong with me and I don't know if I can keep living like this without help but I just don't know how to reach out.

@@paityndice7832 I haven't got a perfect answer for you but, it's gonna be ok, if you need to get a diagnosis without your mum's involvement you can make it happen, it'll just take time. It seems like you're likely right, bipolar does have genetic links and as someone who seems to understand it fairly well, you certainly might have it from what you've described. If it feels like depression, hypermania, adha and anxiety it could well be bipolar. Many people go their whole lives without a formal diagnosis but you can still research and try to pschoeducate yourself either way. The easiest way to work it out in a way that you can then show a Dr is to mood chart, you can do it on your phone on an app or with journalling etc. Keep track of how you feel each day with a number or set way of describing and then over time you can track your moods. If you wanted to you can then use this to show a Dr or medical professional you trust and see what they think. If you have a phone you can likely sneakily call the Drs office and explain your situation to them. One of the few advantages of the pandemic is that doctors are now much better at phone call/email appointments. Again you don't need to but, if you wish you can. There is a lot of help out there. I hope it finds you quickly. I'm sorry your mum has put this pressure on you. Best wishes X

Yes!

Smosh lost a gem.

he has a team, so the thanks should go to the team as well!

It's true, my therapist always reminds me if I'm in a depressive episode that is temporary, I've had them before and will have them again but it is good to be mindful of the fact it's temporary and you'll get through it again

To be honest, i feel like if youve dealt with depression to the point where you want to die then that depression will be there forever. There will be times where youre happy and times when the episodes appear, but the most important thing to remember is that those episodes shouldnt control your life. I get random episodes but i still make sure i get out of bed, brush my teeth, and shower because if not then i will stay in that episode for days or weeks.

@@ngndnd but not everyone has that control, i manage to brush my teeth but i sometimes go weeks without showers because i mentally cant bring myself to do it, its not really something you can control for some people. the end of your message comes off kinda, blamey? youre kinda insinuating that because they dont continue life as "usual" thats why it lasts so long. i know you might not have meant that, but thats kinda how it came off

Hello fellow person on the autistic spectrum 😃👋

Hello, just had to comment this one, but I do, alot of therapy and everyone around knowing helps alot, at work, friends and family, been of meds for two years and goes really fine, still have ups and downs, but knowing how to manage triggers, i can control episodes.

I managed for a year without meds, but I was recovering from a different (pretty severe) illness then, so I was focusing on literally nothing except for my health. I would just sleep, exercise, painstakingly plan and cook my meals, carefully control the amount and type of social interactions I had, and micromanage every little aspect of my physical and mental health. It wouldn't have been even remotely possible if I was working or studying; it was a 24-7 job with no breaks.

There are actually quite a few people who do.

I'm a little over a year medication free now, it can be very very hard but it is possible. Eventhough I wouldn't just recommend it

I've been off meds for almost 10 years (mostly due to healthcare costs) but it's a struggle. Lots of coping mechanisms and self awareness.

@@butterflymilk6425 no it’s not, two very different things

Im also bipolar, and I thought the same thing! :)

yup yup yup was so excited to watch

bibolar here too, I agreed aswell xd we are maybe too excited, I don't know, would be fun to know what normal feeling good feels like :D

i think cops should definitely have training on dealing with mentally ill people

@@neontate413 me too! They should have a therapist or someone that can come with the cops to help.

Ooof, the cops been called on me a few times during some bad episodes. But luckily, the first time my fiancé called, one cop had bipolar also so it felt really good to have someone understand exactly what’s going on and how to handle me lol. Every time my fiancé has to call (which thankfully hasn’t had to happen in a few months) but that officer comes every time, even off duty. He left us his personal number.

@@lexiejanina9764 that's really good!

@@lexiejanina9764 I thought that mentally ill people weren't allowed to be cops? Or are they just not allowed to have guns?

Same! I was never accused of being on drugs but the things mania forced me to do could have ruined my life if I hadn’t found ways to cope before I could afford to see some one about it. Thankfully I got my diagnosis at 16 so I at least knew what was happening and could mitigate some of it but nothing could compare to when I finally got my meds. I still have episodes but it’s so much better now. That is something I hate about TV shows they alway show meds making it disappear entirely but you can still have episodes when when on the best “cocktail” for you.

What about the depression?

@@MM-pv5tp the depression sucks too but at least people are more understanding about it. It’s hard for people to wrap their heads around mania and are therefore less likely to cut you slack over it

Electrically speaking, there's no difference between bi-polar and non-polar. Therfore I find the term prejudice, as it indicates that I don't exist to the person uttering such words of hats

He looks like crankgameplays

@@cambriajenkins6620 Yeah I thought that too
