As someone with Bipolar disorder a lot of stuff makes sense now that she's been diagnosed. I hope she gets the help she needs and is unproblematic from now on.

When *Tea Spill* _doesn’t_ start a video about Nikita with “everyone’s favorite problematic influencer, Miss Nikita Dragun,” we know it’s a serious situation she’s in this time, not just petty drama. 😳

I think you covered this respectfully. You took her struggles seriously and acknowledged the strength it takes to open up about a diagnosis. I get that people do want her to reflect on her past actions, but I think it would be best if she focuses on continuing to get the help she needs and getting to a point where she feels more comfortable with the day to day before tackling that.

I may not be crazy about her but I'm glad she's gotten the proper help she needed I believe it was a good thing for her to take a break.

I’ll be honest I’ve never really liked nikita..but her being vulnerable and opening up was pretty awesome. I have manic bipolar disorder and hearing her describe what it’s like to go through medication changes and manic episodes was really refreshing coming from her. I hope she continues on this journey 💕

I didn’t even realize she was gone 💀

as someone with the same disorder, i wouldn't dare do half the stuff she has done. she better not use this as an excuse and i hope she cleans up her act for good this time.

Tea Spill did such a good job with this video. Nikita has her downfalls, but she’s was taken seriously here and I appreciate that.

Thank you for covering this. As someone with bipolar I can sympathize with Nikita. When I was 25 I had a similar mental break. It's hard. Anyway thank you for handling this respectfully.

When I was first diagnosed with a form of OCD, I was scared to be put on medication too and when I eventually tried it, it didn't work. I'm glad she was able to get the video out for others struggling with a disorder and helping them find that sense of comfort in having medication. I would've loved to seen it back then. Kudos to her.

I don't like her AT ALL, but if she went away to truly improve herself - all power to her.

when nikita isn’t in drama, you know something serious is up😟

I think a lot of people cant comprehend how serious bipolar disorder can be in some people. My step mother has it and when she was younger she was completely manic and in an episode stole a police car, spent thousands of pounds on pointless things, gambled like crazy, suffered psychotic episodes too, now that shes gotten help and is on the correct meds are long gone in the past thank god, this disorder is no joke and im so glad Nikita has gotten help and seems on a better path.

Girl, please take your meds. It's hard and it's even harder to find the right meds but I promise they make a difference.

Hope Nikita took a long good look at herself and learned a valuable lesson about the things she has done, although I'm not confident she has.

I have borderline personality, which is different from bipolar, but I also had a mental breakdown last year that led to me being in a hospital, so I’m right there with her. It’s nice to see another person going through similar issues. Good for Nikita get that dbt girl

Man, I can tell you that the psych wards in that county are pretty ass too. We come from the same county and my mom a couple of times voluntarily admitted herself and while yeah there was some benefit to going there was a lot of bad there. I remember visiting her once and Im not exaggerating everyone was a zombie. It freaked me out and I just wanted to get my mom out of there before they did that her too. So I have a lot of sympathy for Nikita and I hope that everything go wells for her. Also bipolar does not express itself until the mid 20’s sometimes so it would not be weird for her to be diagnosed at this age. Just in case someone had a question

She’s right at the age where these issues manifest themselves. The journey is long, but she will embrace her diagnosis and control it, wishing all the best to her and sending her tons of strength. Surround yourself with friends and family that can understand and show empathy to your situation, Nikita, not everyone is ready to learn and open their minds and hearts, but people can surprise you ❤️

As someone with Bipolar disorder type 2, I’m very glad more people are opening up about the disorder online. There’s a lot of negative stigma around the disorder and it’s so hard to pick and choose who to talk to this about and in what setting to have the conversation. I’m on medication for my disorder and while I’m still on my medication journey, I’m getting closer to my own personal norm. I don’t like Nikita for her use of minority outrage to promote her products and brand, but I can respect her courage to be a trans woman with bipolar disorder and be public about it online.

She explains a manic episode so perfectly. May not be my favorite person. But it is great to hear someone talk about something I personally struggle with

I’m SO happy she’s getting the help she needs. Like all internet drama aside, she’s a human that has clearly been struggling and as someone with mental health issues it’s MADDENING to be in the place of knowing you are past the breaking point, but not know why or how to fix it. I hope she’s got the support she needs in her personal life along with the professionals to help her through it all.

I’m so glad she has gotten the help she needs. I was undiagnosed for nearly 10 years with bipolar disorder and it was pretty much hell, so I know how she feels. I’m finally diagnosed and medicated properly and it makes such a difference. I am so happy that Nikita is getting the help she needs

Despite all her flaws, her problematic attitude and everything wrong that she has done in the past, my heart goes to her...Nikita didn't have to explain anything because she doesn't owe her audience or the netizens any explanations in regards to her mental health and whatnot because it's a highly private thing, but she's brave and took the time to properly explain about what is happening to her and perhaps give someone out there that little push to seek help themselves...this doesn't mean that everything offensive she's done in the past is forgiven, but she's on the right path to learn and correct her mistakes and I think we should give her the space and time she needs...

I recently been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder back in August 2021, and I’m still coming to terms with it. I don’t like Nitika due to her past actions, but I’m glad that she’s talking about, and bringing awareness to this 🖤

as someone who also struggles tremendously with the hardships of MDD and BPD2, I feel betrayed half the time by my brain and body for thinking the way it does. adjustment takes time and I'm glad they are getting the help they need. acknowledgement and acceptance is the first step. though there's no cure, there are ways to manage it. best of luck to them.

When she said she was going embarrassed about what happened I felt that . When I had manic episodes or panic attacks I’d be so embarrassed after bc when people see it they won’t understand that I just need help and I’m not crazy and I’m trying to control it but it’s difficult to ground myself when I don’t fully understand how . I love how she’s getting support from people who like and don’t like her it will let her know she’s not alone and it’s okay

As someone diagnosed with Bipolar Type 1 w/rapid cycling, I understand firsthand how mania especially the FIRST psychosis episode can DESTROY your life. I hope she is getting treatment and help, and hopefully if she is being genuine and sincere (fingers crossed), she can own up to her past and recent mistakes. Wish her well, glad she is opening up about this. Hopefully this will allow people to see that transgender people can have a comorbid illness like bipolar (gender dysphoria is a DSM-5 disorder fyi). much love and peace. xoxo

I’m no Nikita fan but I wondered because I have BPD and she was showing signs of being manic but it’s not an excuse it’s just makes sense

Bipolar disorder ≠ BPD (borderline personality disorder.) Those are two different diagnoses. I’m seeing people in the comments make that mistake. Nikita doesn’t have BPD, it sounds like bipolar II (manic-depressive disorder.) It’s common to mix the two up.

I think the craziest part of all this is how I forgot she was even gone 😩

Hey, I was diagnosed with BPD myself, more precisely with Type 2 and her behavior now seems so "logic" in a way. I resonate with that. I was myself doing a lot of sh*tty things when i had my first manic episode. I'm glad she gets help even if that doesn't "excuse" everything and that from now on she will use her platform in a more positive way by talking more about how things works when your bipolar, especially for medication and diagnostics. (sorry for my english it's not my native tongue lol)

I appreciate the way you presented this video, I just hope she doesn't use this as a way to get away with some of the awful things she has done in the past

Good for her! I'm so glad she has gotten the proper help she needed. It's very hard to do sometimes and sometimes we need to be forced to do it. I hope she's healing and taking care of herself. I agree with what you said about the ones who act out the most are sometimes the ones who need help the most. I wish her all the love and luck in the world.

I'm not the biggest fan of her, but I'm really proud of her for opening up despite it being hard, she may be a bit nutty and I personally did not support any of the shade and drama she's been involved with in the past, but I hope she feels better and stronger. I hope one day she'll feel more comfortable and eventually feel free from her bipolar disorder. Again, she's strong and brave for opening up and I hope she'll feel and become better soon

I'm so glad that Nikita is doing this the right way and being open about her mental health struggles - in my personal opinion though, the internet is not a good place for people like Nikita and Gabbie Hanna, and they should both manage their time spent on the internet.

as someone w BPD (similar to bipolar) i’ve always had a feeling she had one of the two it makes a lot of sense i hope she does better going forward, living w mental health problems like bipolar or BPD is extremely hard to be a healthy person overall i really hope she takes what she learned in rehab and uses it to change the way she goes about life. im starting rehab in a few weeks and im so excited to have the tools to hopefully become better at decision making and managing emotions, mental health problems on this level are a real journey to understand yourself and how you can make your life and life of your love ones better and healthier

This channel is literally my guilty pleasure 😂 like I don't care about any of these people but it's just so entertaining

Oop good timing on my part, i always watch tea while eating and i just sat down for a meal 💀

My uncle is bipolar and, unfortunately, has driven the family away. We tried to be there for him but there's only so many toxic things you can hear him call you, his niece or hear him threaten your parents and siblings before you crack. He blames us for his issues and denies he's done or said anything wrong. It's been so hard to see someone I loved so much turn into someone so hateful and terrifying. As much as I don't like Nikita, her explanation of what bipolar is like did help me understand what he's experiencing when he's manic. Not enough to see him until he at least goes back to a therapist but I understand him better. So I'm grateful to her for that.

i truly hope this can bring awareness to bipolar and its spectrum. i'm diagnosed with bipolar NOS because my mania isnt consistant (i can rapid cycle for a few months, and then it would level out, and then it would go into remission, wash rinse repeat) and because of this my symptoms dont fit the category of bipolar I or II. when i'm manic, i could be percieved as an ENTIRELY different person. i would stay up for days on end and i also got arrested in a similar fashion to nikita. i see a LOT of people saying "i hope she's unproblematic now" but we as a society HAVE TO UNDERSTAND that bipolar is a cycle (its in the name!) and she WILL go through periods of stability, and instability throughout her lifetime. thats apart of the disorder, and it CAN go into remission, yes. what i'm trying to say is, we as a society need to be more aware of how DEBILITATING these disorders can be, even in the slightest form. people sat there and mocked gabbie hanna for two years straight calling her manic that when she DID get diagnosed, she was made to feel that ALL MANIC EPISODE WERE BAD. this is NOT TRUE. manic episodes are different for EVERYONE, and its why we need to stop using the word so flippantly! we need to stop treating people so horribly JUST because they have influence. theyre JUST as human as you and me, and they are GOING TO FUCK UP. allow them the grace to do so, and they may surprise you with their turnaround. no one can do better if you made them feel like they will never be able to.

I'm bipolar and i've been dealing with the maniac shit for over 2 years and I have to say that I understant Nikkita but is not an excuse. I take acountability for the bad things that I've done during maniac episodes. People with mental healt problems are not to petty.

I have bipolar 2 disorder so not as drastic as bipolar 1 but while I'm happy she has been diagnosed to get treatment I hope she doesn't use it as an excuse everytime something she does something bad cause then it just gives us a bad rep and we already have that with "mood swings"

I also have bipolar disorder and literally reading that excerpt of her talking about constantly reinventing herself and losing herself and on top of that, having these massive life changes in such a short amount of time, it immediately set off something in the back of my mind. So it made a lot of sense that she eventually was diagnosed. I’m so glad she put herself first and got the help she needed!

Seeing Nikita being open about their BPD actually makes me feel very hopeful and happy for them. Currently my own Mother is going through a manic episode and what I think makes it so hard for herself to cope with BPD is that she isn't open with friends and family about it and tries to hide it away. It can be a very scary time for both the person experiencing mania and the people around them. As much as I don't like Nikita, I hope that she embraces her BPD and continues to understand herself so she can be able to get through the scary times.

Wow! I’m so proud of her for coming out about it. I know it can be hard. Honestly… hearing this… I feel like I too have some of the same struggles. I’ve been thinking about going to see a doctor about it. This helped.

I have BPD and Bipolar Disorder and I can totally get what’s going on with Nikita. I always knew she needed to get her mental health as a priority; I saw all of her scandals and I kept thinking that maybe she sees her reality as a totally different game. It’s what normally happens with people with BPD and Bipolar: we only see black and white; we don’t see the grey area. We have extreme and radical ideas of everything: people, emotions, experiences. I really hope she gets better, because no one deserves to live a life when the drama consumes you

I RUNNED FOR THIS ONE🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️

Hearing her explain the different medications was excellent. People need to understand it’s not a magic cure, sometimes you have to try a few different ones to find the right one that works with your brain chemistry. It requires patience, but eventually you WILL find the right one.

Wow, never thought I'd sympathise with Nikita Dragan but here we are. I'm actually kinda proud of her for taking such a long break from social media. I honestly wouldn't have thought her capable before this. Goes to show some people can grow up

Mental health is no joke , I’m glad she is getting help and speaking up about it!

Just happened to me again last month girlie we will get thru this

I love this channel for it's truthfulness and the variety of topics. I have to be honest and say I'm proud of her for accepting help for her mental health, I hope she has or receives a strong especially physical support system. I hope she knows when to go off social media whenever she feels overwhelmed, I certainly don't fully understand what she's going through but my mental state is always on the low whenever I'm on Twitter so I deleted the app. I hope for the very best for her❤️

My husband has manic depression too. He would be so depressed, and then the next week he would refuse to sleep or eat or sit. Just walking around and talking but never finishing his thoughts, and he would make a lot of weird decisions. He got on a lot of different meds before finding the right one. But he's completely stable now, only getting somewhat depressed every couple months for a week.

As someone who has been struggling with mental health for years and only been a year and a half in medication is really good that she was able to seek help, I'm also glad she recognized that her transition wouldn't solve all problems but it probably helped her overcome some of the most important, now it's time for her to work on other parts of herself, knowing yourself and healing yourself is not a one step process, hopefully she finds stability and gets to deal with her episodes safely!

I am glad she is talking about this. As someone with bipolar type 2 it is refreshing to see people who are open about it; especially celebrities and influencers. She is not my favorite. But I do wish her the very best and hope she is able to work and cope with this disorder in a healthy manner

i was literally just thinking that we haven’t heard any nikita drama in a while 😂

I’ve never clicked so fast on a Nikita tea video. Love you Tea Spill❤️

this is it, people should try to NOT shame people for being problematic but worry abt them, no one acting like this is okay fully

I love your videos tbh They’re so interesting, especially since I’m not allowed to have any of those big social media apps like twitter

Hoping she finds the correct help for BPD. It is not easy and she needs to be grounded now more than ever. Many blessings to all that deals with any mental disorders. 🙏🏻 🙌🏻💚🤟🏻

As someone who is open about my bipolar diagnosis, it’s really refreshing to see influencers and celebrities open up about the same thing besides Kanye West. It really defeats stigmas to see people you like that have this struggle like the rest of us with BD do ❤️

Never really cared for Nikita or her content, but I have new found respect for her. I'm sorry she went through all this.

My aunt has bipolar I have ADHD and auditory processing and dyslexia and what nikita is saying completely true and honest. I take medication and it changed my life in a unbelievable way.

Mental health is not an excuse to act however you want. As someone diagnosed with a cluster B personality disorder and only 19 I still have to take responsibility for everything I do.

As someone with Manic depressed a type of bipolar disorder, it all makes sense. I remember my first manic episode. And it’s pretty scary. You don’t know what’s going on but you do at the same time. I’m glad she got the help she needed

Whoa, I have never seen her seem so level and I’ve been aware of her for years even before she transitioned. I hope she continues down a good path.

im really glad nikita is getting help. its a tough situation and im sure not easy to deal with while being an influencer. while yes, she may not be everyone’s favorite, shes still human.

tired of people using mental health as a gateway of their stupidity

I'm bipolar type 2 and my bipo is also heavily HEAVILY affected by my hormones and controlling them was the best thing to happen to me, can't help but to wonder what being on trans hrt could have to do with cases like these.

Bipolar disorder is not easy to go through. My dad has it, my sister has it and I possibly have it. I hope Nikita is doing well, I wish her the best.

As someone with the disorder she better not use it as an excuse cause that hurts the community in battling stereotypes

I think this video puts a lot into perspective. For a long time we’ve judged Nikita and poked fun at the way she does things but her opening up about her diagnoses makes all the unpredictable things she’s done in the past make a lot more sense. Props to her for sharing her experience because bipolar is not something to joke about

Thank you, for handling this respectfully. ❤️❤️❤️

I hate that anyone has to deal with these types of issues but it’s nice seeing her be vulnerable and an actual PERSON

you know what they say 'once you're on the internet once, you're there forever' or w.e they say. 😂😂😂

On one hand, I believe her. Her story seems very real, and I'm glad she's safe now. On the other hand, she FAKED HER DEATH. I just hope this isn't her trying to clear her slate bu claiming something serious.

Damn, and here I was enjoying the peace and quiet. Well, let’s see what she’s doing now.

I appreciate how real she feels now. Rediscovering your self and healing is never linear its always an up and down battle. I have cptsd but I can relate in ways 🥺💚 I hope the best for her and her healing

I’m proud of her, I’ve recently been diagnosed with a condition relating to my mental health. It’s a huuuge thing to internalise and come to terms with, you don’t even know where to start… wishing her all the best

Honestly we should give different social media platforms a list of people to revoke the accounts of, some of these people are CRAZY

She’s right! People really think that bipolar means jumping from emotion to emotion but that’s one of the biggest misconceptions borderline personality is where it’s very 0-100 very quick jumping and bipolars manic episodes can last anywhere from a week to months

My tea spill senses were tingling and here you are 😍😍😍

So glad she got the help she needed. And that she was willing to speak out on mental health.

People with Bipolar disorder please have no shame or conflicting feelings about medicine, you need it. As someone who knows what it’s like to be bipolar I can tell you finding the right medicine can be just as hard as the disorder but I promise when you find the right medicine your bipolar disorder will go in remission and you CAN live a normal life (without all the symptoms and voices ect.) . I highly recommend if you have a health condition, just know that medicine is meant to help you. I don’t know why people brag (not Nikita at all just other people) about not taking meds even if they are in pain. Meds are not supposed to hurt you and they do not make you weak! If you have cancer you’ll take the meds if you have a mental health problem meds will help. It took me years to settle with my meds but I am so much happier and in my remission I do not fear falling back into mania and depression. Btw it is so dangerous not to be in the right mind you can spend all your money and do risky behaviors when you are manic it’s not just a feeling mania you do and say crazy stuff. Therapy does not cure bipolar disorder or all other mental health conditions. There is something wrong with our brains but meds can and will help🙏 I wish everyone a happy life no matter how you need to help yourself. We all struggle and for some of us it’s something wrong with our brain, not just emotional or short term mental issues. I just want to end the stigma that meds are bad.

I hope she does take breaks from social media. It can be an extremely toxic environment even if you dont have bipolar. My best friends sister is bipolar and untreated and has caused her family so much stress and anxiety. I hope NIkita sticks with getting help for it and doesnt let social media life take over her mental health.

Drama will always exist. Celebrities/Influencers come & go but drama between anyone will always be there. We can only hope for for the "problematic" ones to get better; not for us, but themselves. Im glad Nikita is prioritizing her health. Will that erase everything she's done? No, not at all. Are the communities she's harmed obligated to forgive her? No, that's up to them. However, her honesty about her diagnosis will help her get better so she can move forward & be a better person. Cheers to everyone (myself included) living with their mental health! Whether it be bipolar, depression, anxiety, adhd, exc., life is a complete shit hole with confusing twists & turns but at least we have today. Cheers! Love you all!

I'm glad she's gotten help. One thing I think that's a positive is that she is trying to give an honest opinion on medication. One of my favorite youtubers Plumbella talked about her mental health and it really helped me go to a doctor and brave through the process and now I'm properly medicated and diagnosed and I am actually able to function like a normal person

When I first started taking medication for anxiety i was terrified it was going to turn me into a different person, that it was going to affect my creativity, and it honestly made me feel more like myself. im still trying to find the right meds but it at least gives me hope. i hope nikita keeps getting better, mental health is tricky and i hope she finds the right path for her.

love this channel💕

I really hope she gets it together and is not back on the same BS

Gorgeous Gorgeous Humans take their meds, Bad Bitches Take their meds ❤️❤️❤️ I’m so proud of her!!!! Of course I’m not the biggest fan of hers and she’s done a lot of questionable things but I’m so proud of her. And you’re right it does make us feel less alone. When people we look up to show that it’s okay to not be okay, and show their fans that they aren’t the only one with XYZ. ❤️❤️❤️

Ngl I was really confused when u said about Nokia black-fishing because I don’t watch her videos and have only really seen pics of her but ngl one hundred percent thought she was like half asian- half black or something

I may not like her tbh but I'm glad she's gotten help, I know the struggle with bipolar & honestly its super hard & talking about it is so tough, much less doing it so publicly

as someone who struggles deeply with many mental health issues, has family and friends who suffer with it all as well, i think this is extremely important. however it is important to remember that mental health is an explanation…not an excuse. having mental health issues does not mean you have an excuse to do awful things. i hope she grows and tries to do better.

My parents thought my anti-depressants were a scam, they told me it was a placebo and ever since I’ve felt so much doubt and confusion on whether I should keep taking them or not 😭

seeing her be serious and authentic for once felt so refreshing, i genuinely wanted to hear her talk more. So happy she got diagnosed and is being helped now, she deserves the peace of mind no matter what we think of her

Are you going to cover the Lovers and Friends festival that happened in Vegas??

Very well said mam ,love u for this.

I feel her I’ve done the same manic shit and it’s confusing scary and embarrassing if I didn’t have the friends and family I did I don’t think I would’ve made it.

I really thought she was gonna say she’s de transitioning.
