THANK YOU :)

@@PolarWarriors thank you! I think I suffer from a severe bipolar condition. Only recently, due to a ultimate catastrophe in my life caused by my catastrophic decisions, I have reached out for professional help and support. But in the meantime, you're videos have a great support on my darkest hours. So, thank you! I have lost everything! I have been abused and misguided by my own family! I lost my partner my house, my money, my dreams, my hope and almost my life! The only thing that keeps me going are my two beautiful sons and my mission to redeem myself before them and before God. I'm in the darkest of hours and your videos are a precious help and keep me company So, once again...thank you!

@@PolarWarriors thank you so much! It's like finding someone in the middle of the ocean in-between a storm. I'm not very good with technology. I don't use social media! My main source of connection is via WhatsApp Can I write my number in one of these messages?

Bella Bijou This comment is so true. It’s basically my life. It’s so sad

Constantly moving. Im enthusiastic about a place for a while than the newness wears off. Always then I feel miserable there. The thought of moving to another city always feel satisfying. I definitely need to look the success stories who overcome this before get more depressed.

That could be most people though, yeah?

No that’s NOT MOST people.

I'm 59..It never ends..The meds are horrendous and don't work..It's truly not worth living..I have most of these symptoms mentioned..It scares me..There's a very good chance I will take my own life at sometime..Just tired of "hanging on"

Same!

My dad is behaving the same.

Same

Same as I was experienced.

Same with me

Make sure the 12 yr old is okay or gets some therapy

Praying for you!

@@PolarWarriorsThere wasn’t a loss. Did you not read it! Trying to sell things…harsh

I have a lot of the mania one and definitely depression. But I sleep fine. Is it possible to be manic and sleep fine?

@@Bryan-nb1zv I would consult a professional about that. BPD and Bipolar have several misleading similarities. Whether it's Bipolar I or II, sleep difficulties are a hard indicator of Bipolar, but are also present in BPD.

@@bruderlein8514 Now I think I have both 🤔. Thank you so much. Looking into it. Think my doctor wanted to say BPD,but said it can be confused with ADHD instead because he had long pauses.

@@Bryan-nb1zv It can be difficult to ferret it all out. Fingers crossed for you!

I have all the depressive

Your mind controls the moods, but you can learn to control your mind.

Emma.....you nailed it!

I wish I could be that self-aware. :/

Exactly hun. Well said!

@@angelfirelite l} p}) l

joel Hillman I finally dropped from my mania for the first time in my life a year ago and I hate it but my dr told me I wud but that my meds were working I still hate the low side

I'm experiencing the same 💔😭

i am bipolar and i am have high and low i cry and i also get depessants

I hate the highs, the mistakes I make in this phase fuel my flashbacks and I can’t sleep at night

Neither I like highs nor lows ...When I am super excited /high , I do mistakes , when I am low , I am hopeless. I always try to have balance

I don't know why but sometimes I just want to be alone but then sometimes I want a lot of attention! Most of the time I want attention though.

hey..same with me..i'm glad to know what u feel, it relflection of myself..may your life getting better

Yes this sound exactly how feel only thing for some reasons I feel like I'm running out of time? I don't know what that's all about???

Story of my life . I didn’t know what was it until today. . . Thank you for sharing

That's me exactly

Your a very good husband

Thank you!

thank you 😢

Bournboun

No disrespect here, and I have been Bi Polar all 42 years of my life.. I'm very isolated, and went for 2 years without even going outside, until I begged my Doc for a medication increase that was just too damn high rather than somewhere in the middle. I rode high just at the cusp of Mania for 4 months.. Not feeling too high, and feeling both hands on the wheel, it was like feeling reborn again after 11 years of just continuously shutting down.. One single moment of social anxiety at a social gathering set me on a massive downward spiral and I'm just where I was right before I got my increase in Anti Depressants, probably a little worse.. I'm tired of this up and down bullshit, either get busy living or get busy dying.. And I'm out of fucking gas and I'm seriously, and I don't take this lightly at all... I think it's my time to check out.. If it weren't for the consequences of my death after the fact.. I'd do it right now. I just don't have the fight left to keep on going anymore, and this is not the depression talking.. It's out of sheer frustration.. Every time I start to feel better... Even after being mindful and doing all the right freaking things, staying out of trouble and keeping myself in check over all.. I still fall on my ass and I'm just tired of it.

Lol i guess you have the disease

So sorry for your loss

You must be 80 minimum

My condolences

Sorry for your loss. My son is in a bipolar phscosis. Now he is getting really depressed. The struggle the love is heartbreaking.

I’m so sorry 😞

I was like that for over 60 yrs. Counselling and medication is the only thing that saved my life. Try it. It may help you too. Go easy on yourself.

I thought I was the only one with these troughts. I'm now 43 and I sometimes still have those. It doesn't cripple as much as when I was in my 20s.

Death is guaranteed…for all of us…one day. What isn’t guaranteed, is what tomorrow brings. Tomorrow, or the next day or next week. Whatever is the source/s of your depression may dissipate. A solution/s may be just around the corner. But you rob yourself if you don’t stick around to find out. Imagine the poor fellow who tops himself because he lost his job, then the home etc because he faced bankruptcy … only to find out he won the lotto days after …. Silly I know, but people have topped themselves over wealth Or a broken relationship..’he/she is the only one for me’ … when the world is full of people and in truth we are able to love a different person… People tell themselves (and believe) all sorts of untruths when depressed…and then pile on ….. trapping themselves in despair… leading to ruminating and obsessing about death… As for self loathing, whip out a piece of paper and write down things that are good , special about you…include deeds you have done, accomplishments… don’t stop until you get to 100… yes it’s a bit of thinking work but worth it. And yes there are at least 100 things..be imaginative… do you have nice bones? Hair, eyes? Have you helped someone with directions? How are you with animals? Can you stick to a diet for a period of time? Do you have a skill /s? When you are feeling self loathing, whip that piece of paper out and remind yourself of how special and worthy you are and love yourself for it!

Please get help, don’t give up. Medication and counseling help.

Me too, me too.

I agree

I hear you man !

You bet.

Same

@Razor T. You are not a burden. Remember that please.

It can look like drugs, you might need to control that with meds.

@@annlamott5800 I am currently on medication

I've been accused of being on drugs. Interesting. No drugs

I can relate! Same thing happened with me but it was my boyfriend asking me what have I been taking because I was cleaning the house and doing laundry at 2am.

@@Ami_E_Bowen everyone's first assumption is drugs. Some people still accuse me of being on drugs even though I was diagnosed with bipolar type 1

Same!!!

I have BD2 as well, and video hit the nail right on the head!

I was diagnosed with bipolar 2 a few months ago, I wish I was never told

Watch his Bipolar Explained video. Just make sure your in a stable state. It send me on a rollercoaster for around 45 mins even when I started stable, after seeing and hearing my video in context pictures and words it sent off the mania and was like, wow somebody explaining my mind in a way I can explain to other. It’s almost become a way for me to explain my thoughts and life to friends and family. And I have strict no fishing signs in place. Iv spoke about triggers and outside influences being like rocks and so on being thrown in which are just adding ripples and shockwaves to the already unstable lake that is my brain. Basically I think that sums it up some what

Ok

They have negative energy, that’s all

Nightmare Moon• I can absolutely relate. That’s one of the reasons why I started this channel. I can’t read a 500 page book when I’m not feeling well, and there aren’t very many videos out there that I found to be helpful. I hope my channel is helping and you are absolutely not alone here. You are very welcome here. When I say “I know how you feel,” i’m one of the few people who really does LOL. As well as many of the people on my channel. Stop by anytime :-)

I'm just like you

Nightmare Moon•-You'll be surprised to find out how many people are willing and ready to understand and be supportive.

David Schaefer i’m really glad you found my channel. This is a very supportive place, for people who are like-minded and struggle like this. You are very welcome here! It feels liberating to not know that you are alone, or the only person who experiences life like this. It’s not easy, but together we can all make our lives better by sharing information and talking about it😊😊

Polar Warriors Thx for this video.

🙏

How did your family and friends encourage you to see a specialist? My partner ruins his life with his mania episodes but when I tried to talk to him showing this video, he gets annoyed and doesn’t want to change because he likes being so creative and ambitious. Even if some of his ideas are ridiculous and people laugh about them. And all those projects lead him to more debts . But he doesn’t want to listen anything.

@@elenakokareva2518 Hey, how are things going with your partner? My partner's behaviour sounds similar and he had a mental health assessment for psychiatry recently. He was very resistant at first so l decided to give him an ultimatum. I told him that l could no longer cope with his behaviour by myself, and that l needed some support too. He would have to accept some help or l'd have no choice but to leave. His behaviour was making me feel anxious, depressed and exhausted. I hope that the situation with you and your partner has improved. Best wishes.💜

Altuda has worked miracles for me.

Mariana Iniguez Awe... I can completely relate to thinking that there was something wrong with me or that I wasn’t a good person until I realized what was going on. I still carry a lot of regret and painful memories, but they have all been a very important part of my journey and growth process. You are definitely not alone and I’m really glad you found my channel. There’s a lot of good information here and I will have a new video out tomorrow.

It's hard I know I became bipolar when I was 15 and dianoss at 19 or 20 I know hard it is but let me tell it's not all bad it does hurt but Jesus but loves us very much and loves you too let the Lord bless you

kingbro2 thank you ☺️ god bless you too 💕

are you talking aboutmine

No you're not the only who cried

Aww there is so much stigma with mental illnesses but we are just normal people with a medical condition. We have to try holding our heads high. It's hard I know but if people are not understanding and empathetic to that then at least we know who are true support system is. Hang in there💪🙏

I have Bi Polar 2 disorder. My maw maw offered excellent advice after I was diagnosed and it really helped me to have closure about my condition. She said, " Everybody has alittle bit of Bi Polar. Who doesn't have Bi Polar disorder." Everybody has excesses in their life either alcohol, shopping, sex, drugs, gambling, over eating, reckless driving, and so on. You name it there is excesses in almost everything.

You are not insane. Treat yourself with care.

Same... I hope you got help

I feel that

Yea I stopped taking my meds I don’t like how it just numbs me completely all I want to do is feel and it makes me numb and while taking meds I was suicidal more so than ever . I’m working on myself so I can control my mind and not let it control me these days. Last year was awesome now here they put a quarantine smh and all hell has opened but it could be worst I guess. It’s lonely 😞 nobody understands but US with it and explaining really makes you sound nuts. Relationships fail because no one can handle the ups and downs hell we can’t even 🤷🏽‍♀️😒 .

David Jones EXACTLY HOW I FEEL

Well, crap... I'm not bipolar that I know of, and I do this too. I haven't written to two people who are some of the most important in my life, because of that little voice saying, "Stop bothering them. You're a burden. They're just being polite," etc.. I'm just slipping into depression, thanks to chronic pain, in large part, again though. Whee!

Very well put

That is how I feel every single day

I am 33 and my entire life has been suffering

I'm 32 and alot of my life I have also suffered and still am

Im 36 and these vids are the only thing ive found that really gets us

I'm gonna be 21 in a few more weeks and of life is just gonna be like this then I don't wanna continue

Same

and me

I feel the same

Same Feeling

Yep...

yes, thank you for everything !!

I cried like a baby through out the video cause it feelt like I was finally seen

I can relate. I struggle with my son's bipolar. I have a hard time remaining patient also. Have to remind myself ever day he has a mood disorder.

Same.

Same, I know sometimes it's just my body dysphoria and how I don't like looking in a mirror, but also for me picking up a toothbrush or hair comb is such a chore

Me too

What shower or toothbrush , iv gone months without shower n I hate it the.only thing that actually gets me to have one is my filthy hair If I have appointments I have to shower night before or I council next morning I just don't care when.im so so depressed. But on a hi I want out to buy things for my hobby. I have disability n craft in my bed so even getting out to buy is huge, just for half hour , I'm exausted when get home.n can't do.my craft till I get days of rest Very frustrating like most would know n understand having it Alanna

I don’t know if this really happened (coz idk was real coz I think I’m in mania) BUT I HAD BAD HYGIENE IN SCHOOL IN SCHOOOOOOOL AND I DIDNT KNOW and then now I shower so long and brush my teeth so long that my MOTHER asked if I was okayyyy and I hear voices VOICES I thought it was the neighbours so I KNOCKED ON THEIR DOOORRRRR OMG omg AND I DIDNT SLEEP ALL NIGHT AND I DONT KNOW WHICH VOICES ARE REAL OR NOT and now I’m OBSESSIVE WITH MY HYGIENE BUT I WENT A PERIOD OF TIME WHEN I WAS SHOWERINGGGG ONCE ONCE A WEEEEEKKKKK OMG WHAT THE WHY DID NO ONE TELL MEEEEE

Please don't give up trying🙏 perhaps it can be something to work on with a therapist or doctor. Hang in there🙏

I know the feeling I don't have any. I have major trust issues because my Mom did me dirty.

I'm struggling with the same thing. It's thanksgiving and I lied to my family about being sick.

If they are friends they will be by yourside when you have nothing to offer.

Me too

God cares...do you believe in Jesus?

I never did until my sister had a reading wheere people can tell you what ghosts are trying to tell you and stuff and things go wrong alot like when I lost my kitten for around an hour , I prayed for the first time and 2 minutes later he was there.. I also believe that you go to heaven when you die but if you were a really good person you have the choice of being reborn! I mean in my past life I could've been my mum lmao.

Same

That was me at 12!!! Lol

I'm on the same boat. Im stuck if I have bipolar, ADHD, autism, aspergers and other ones.

true

They are but if you experience theses actions you can distinguish the disorder

The DSM was never meant to diagnose people...mental illnesses are very similar with a variety of symptoms that over lap. Please read the book Rethinking Madness by Paris William's. Free pdf please Google it. It looks at psychosis and schizophrenia but offers a fresh perspective on the subject of what psychosis is and isn't.

That's why it's best to see a professional so you can get an evaluation

Be More Careful I think you might have sensory integration my son has it and a lot of the things you do sound almost the same as he does and was diagnosed with that. But I don't no I'm not a doctor, but I wish you all the best health in the future.

Be More Careful ,↪✌↪💛↩🙏

Sounds like OCD

@@blackcheese4874 And PTSD..

Well damn

Yes, I always thought I was ADHD and recently was diagnosed bipolar. The symptoms can be similar.

@@treeinparadise mmmmmmm... being manic and having adhd are two dramatically different things.

I am diagnosed with hypomania but my therapist said I do show traits of ADHD.

It's a thing actually. There scholarly articles about the link between ADHD and bipolar. These disorders tend to be comorbid or people with ADHD will have family members with bipolar (or vice versa).

Completely.

You can do it! Stay strong.

You left him, good for you!

So sorry Amanda. Stay strong and may God bless you!

My ex-gf knew i was manic depressive going into our relationship. But *her* mental state of mind was much more important for the 2 years we were together! "You're not the only one who's depressed", "Stop using your disorder as an excuse", "It's all in your head", "Don't you dare go manic", "We should respect each other's diagnosis" etc.. I feel like I was being manipulated by a sociopath. Left her a week ago, still don't know what I feel..

I would have told him. Of course it's in our heads 😂🤣😂. Sorry just trying to make you smile. I'm glad you left him You need someone who will support you. I know. I've been there. And being told I'm mental and need help. Psycho etc. It's very hurtful.

Wow Bobby! Thanks for the great feedback brother! There are so many people out there trying to explain the way they experience life - especially to their spouse or family - without much success. I'm so happy that the videos are helping you and the support for my channel means more than you know =)

Bobby Gordon I've been asked if I was tweeking at work. I've never even messed with that BS. not my gig. Before I could respond a coworker says no she just drinks a lot of Red Bull's. But I've watched videos of tweakers on KZfaq and thought for christs sake I do that sometimes. Those videos are not nice. I can tell some have other health issues going on . Not drugs

seheabol red bull is delicious. I'm more a monster guy myself..lol. Us hardcore energy drink users. So glad this channel is here and to know many,of us go,through the same situations. Polar Warriors unite...:-)

*Self Diagnosing Complete* I have Bipolar

It is very obvious when you got bipolar, it is not self diagnosing. When you bu a hundred domain names in one night then you know something is not right. God bless

Doctors insisted with my depression diagnosis. Some others thought I was seeking attention. I had to make them a list with my symptoms and point out the possibility of BPD for them to realize.

Yeah well, more often than not, when it comes to mental health, doctors misdiagnose way more than you'd think. If one is ready to give you a diagnosis after one session as they often do, it's most likely completely wrong.

I have the same issue, not knowing what's happening with you is frustrating.

I'm so glad you found Rob's channel! In case you are interested Rob offers one on one support on Patreon and he has a support group for patrons only on discord. Would love to have you there! Dianna Polar Warriors Team Member www.patreon.com/PolarWarriors

JamesA Green you are definitely not alone with the way you feel here James! A very warm welcome to my channel and I hope the videos help :-)

I don’t know if I’m bipolar But I can relate to the simptoms At the beginning of the day(before school) I’m all happy. I think of the good things in life etc. But when I come from school I don’t even want to talk to anyone I would just go to my roon and think about how stupid I am, in a conversation I should have said this or that, I’m not good enough, I’m clumsy I remember the traumatic memories when I was a child I remember when all of my friends betrayed me That I’m pathetic , I have just one friend with who I talk But I then turn on myself One voice says -Tell someone who you know Then the other -You just want attention I never told anyone And when I think of telling I just slap myself Or when I see myself as a victim The voice makes me slap myself again Once I almost cut myself Thank god I stopped So Yeah...🙂

AND THE BIGGEST F****** PROBLEM is that if someone confirms that I’m bipolar I’m gonna make It an even bigger deal I sometimes cry cause I’m the “victim” And when I find out that I’m mentali diseased ohoho It’s gonna be a long crying session And if I’m not crying I’m probably then happy And my happy ass will tall everyone that I’m bipolar as I’m an exemption I’m more important than everyone else I fucking hate my personalitys I’m sorry for the swearing But if I’m telling I’m telling it all

Adna Hasanagic it was definitely a little difficult for me to accept at first, but there are so many incredible and even famous people who have bipolar disorder. We are truly “polar warriors”, and if we can find stability (which can take time for sure), we can take advantage of the brilliant side that is in all of us. A very warm welcome to my channel and you are definitely not alone in your struggles. You’ve got this! I hope you will continue to stop back by and learn more with me. Check out my video called “faces of bipolar disorder part one: diagnosis.” There’s a lot of really good information there too :-)

YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD

sasha pitter Yes!!!!

How do you know you are avoiding

I feel alone too

Punk ❤️ a heart from me to you !

I would agree.

That's also my question. I have so many "Why's".

I can relate to this. When I'm manic I feel like I'm the most extrovert person. But now I've been feeling depressed for almost 2 months, I distance myself from everybody.

Sending prayers to you!

Prayers for you.

I pray for you in Jesus name 🙏

Hi Anders, I'm so glad that you sought help and that you're still here. There's no taking it back when someone ends their life so I am so glad that you decided to get help instead of going through with it. And I'm glad that you found Rob's videos. I wish you all the best in your treatment. Make sure to stick with it and never give up hope! :) -Rachel (Polar Warriors Team Member)

Ernesto Acosta thank you so much for the comment and trying to learn more about this illness. I wish more people would do what you are doing. I’m sure that relationship will be one that you will never forget LOL. Stop back by my channel anytime :-)

Blake Unfortunately that’s really common brother… When people are suffering a lot, it’s so much easier if they have a reason for why they feel like that. If our toe started hurting for no reason, it would be worrisome, but if we know we hit it against something, it would just psychologically feel better to have a reason for the pain.The most “convenient reasons” a lot of people direct their feelings towards are usually their jobs, friends, and especially spouses. When we are sick, the little problems that become so huge, feel so real and huge to us. It’s part of the illness. I have destroyed so many relationships and broke up with people over the stupidest reasons. It usually isn’t until later when I am stable again that I realize I made such a big mistake. Of course the damage has already been done. For people who are new to this journey, they really have to work on self awareness of how they are feeling so they can intercept symptoms before they get out of control. They also need to work on being extremely aware of where they are directing the negative feelings. It took me years to get to a place where I can just say “I’m feeling horrible today, it’s just the illness, and has nothing to do with anyone else.” I’m glad you are here watching videos and searching for answers. It is so unbelievably difficult to be with someone who has bipolar, especially if they aren’t really aware of what’s going on with them. Try not to take what she did personally… She is not well and unfortunately you were the easiest reason she could blame things on instead of taking responsibility for her and her illness. I hope that helps :-)

Blake she's not crazy it's a disorder sometimes we men or women can be insensitive towards the feelings of others, I pray and wish them peace of mind, no body asks to be born with that condition but be the bigger person , if not don't judge keep it moving and know one person perfect.

Blake I was in your shoes at one point of my life and at that point i was confused and blamed her for being the way she was and only when we broke up and i moved on did i realize the truth I could handle the situation much better and i don't have any thing against her because sometimes we humans have different ways to let out our emotions and that part of life, just because we're both normal doesn't make it right to judge someone build different then us, that is wrong bro, be fare and hopefully you get your answers take care.

I wish these channel existed when i was dating her it would help me tremendously to be a better person

Rice Feilds I know what you mean! At least we are aware of them. Once we know that they’re there, we can start working on ways to “live with them.” Welcome to the channel and thank you for the comment!

Rice Feilds bipolar people tend to be highly intelligent. My ex earned his PhD while being bipolar and alcoholic.

Rice Feilds u have the disorder?

Hi Rice Fields.Sorry you've been having a difficult time.I had 24/7 depression demons in the early 90s due to terrible back pain.I took up yoga,which proved to be a miracle cure for my back,and the demons vanished. A Counsellor can be really good value, or a close friend, or family member, somebody you trust ,and treats you with respect,you can be totally honest with,and say what's on your heart(no offence).There's an old saying "A problem shared is a problem halved" we feel a sense of psychological relief when we've shared a problem with another person.The burden feels lighter.We've told somebody,and the problem seems smaller, easier to carry,somebody is there alongside us to help us deal with the burden,and it's less of a burden,We're being helped,and not having to carry the burden all alone. Good luck! Andrew:)

Rice Feilds at least you r honest bout it

hang in there. You are Not Alone !!

Get some meds. Take them like clockwork. The side effects will wane. Write yourself right. Read the good 📖. Wait for it… depressives feel that hole you were in chronically. It’s misery. Stay on your meds and keep your appointments. Martin Luther Jr said 70% of success is showing up. Don’t agree to anyone or anything with a contract about anything ⚠️ until you’re stable. Promise yourself a shower at least every other day and show up to “something” most days no matter how much coffee and promises it takes to yourself. Left foot, right foot, repeat. Stay clear of triggers. You got this 👍

@@ishouldbesleeping1354 You have me nearly in tears reading your comment because it gives me hope. My issue with the meds are that although I’m stable, I feel dull and have no libido. When I skip doses I begin feeling vibrant again but then I experience severe irritability and negative thoughts. I have to stick with taking my meds consistently though your absolutely right 🌸 ❤️

@@ishouldbesleeping1354 Great advice! The triggers.

Fiero exactly

Bipolar disorder (manic depression) is so easy and straight forward to figure out that it hardly even qualifies as self diagnosis.. Do I have outbursts of mania? Yes. Are they followed by prolonged episodes of depression? Yes. Well, in that case everything's cool... *not*

@@Agrith Oh, but I AM bipolar. I've known since I was 14 and I'm 42 now, and as such it was the only logical explanation for my head.. Even though I was initially misdiagnosed with ADHD

My friend self diagnosed and then he finally sawa doc.....he was correct. There's nothing wrong with self diagnosis if you research it properly and thoroughly.

@@ashleyashleym2969 There's a difference between self-diagnosing and suspecting you may have something before seeking a diagnosis. It sounds like your friend did the latter,. Self-diagnosing is assuming you have it and going about your life as if you did, including referring to yourself as someone who suffers from the illness It isn't straightforward for everyone, and there are two different types. For people who are bipolar 1, manic symptoms are intense, and can sometimes seem characteristic of schizophrenia. When you have people self-diagnosing themselves, you'll have some people getting it right, but you'll have others getting it entirely wrong. That latter group is the problem.

I know we have or issues.I have to admit that the first couple of hours of a manic episode I feel smart,beautiful,sexy,funny.all at the same time.So, even with challenges,The Manic high is amazing.

Stephanie Russell You are very welcome here anytime and thank you for joining the conversation! If it helps, I’d like to share something a doctor told me a while back… He said that “bipolar disorder” and all of the different types are literally just words that psychologists came up with to describe a collective group of symptoms that a large number of the population experience together. All it does is help people put a “word to the monster” they live with and help them network with others or find treatments that have worked for similar people. I hate labels and absolutely do not allow the diagnosis to define who I am as a person. A diagnosis is literally just a word, but at least it can give people a starting point to understand what might cause them to suffer like this. I would recommend going through the video again and write down all of the symptoms you experience, how often they happen, and how strong they get on a scale of 1 to 10. If you can do this over a period of weeks, The information that you will have can be incredibly valuable to a doctor in preventing a possible misdiagnosis. If you are feeling that you are at your breaking point, it doesn’t have to be like that and you are definitely not alone here. Please continue to stop back by my channel and learn more with me. If you ever have any questions, I will always do my best to help :-)

Polar Warriors thank you so much! I'm going to take your suggestions. I will document as you suggest for a few weeks. Ive always been able to mentally fight my way past and thru everything. As I get older it's seeming harder and harder. It's like a demon on my shoulder that won't go away and I'm exhausted. Omgoodness, I sound cRaZy! lol Seriously, I appreciate you and what your doing! You have no idea! Blessings!

Stephanie Russell please talk to someone dependable for medical and spiritual help. You shouldn’t be alone in this situation.

I lost my girl as well over this, people just don't understand. Is something i can't control :(

HI Stephanie. It sounds from yr description that yes, you have definitely reached the stage where you need to get yourself some professional help so you can earn how to care for yrself better and manage the roller coaster. It took me many years to agree to taking medication but without it is was much worse. I've been where you are now more - more thanonce. It is important to find a support person. It may be a friend or a family member or maybe a social counsellor specialised in mental health care. It can take some time to get the right medication & dosage but a good psch can shorten this time frame with yr feedback. just get a taxi & get to a good psychologist or psychiatrist now girl! :) good luck on yr journey.

You say to get help. From whom? Where and with what person or professional is the best?

Hi

@@PolarWarriors I really want to become a patron of the channel, but I can't seem to navigate the sign-up process--I never make it to the part where you make your payments. Can anybody help? All I've managed to do is change the password on my google account, then they won't let me do anything else.

There are a few videos out there that are helpful, but I wanted to break down both the manic and depressive symptoms into different groups - and include MANY of them to help others recognize the symptoms. Thanks so much for watching and supporting my channel by commenting =) -Rob, Polar Warrior

LACED LSD Thank you for such a wonderful comment! Feels so good to be helping people and the channel keeps growing. I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. Lots more videos to come. Welcome to the channel! -Robert

How are you doing now?

I hit Rock bottom this year. My drinking was out of controll in an attemt to numb my brain and forget. I have had several seizures before but In December 2019 I had an 18 hour seizure where I was found on the floor in my bedroom by my dog who saved my life by alerting others in the house. I had to be intubated as I could not breathe on my own and was put into an induced coma for 4 days until I woke up and could breathe on my own again. I could only whisper after the intensive intubation and my vocal cords were damadged. I had a nother seizure when they moved me to the neurology departement where I for some reason was lleft unmonitored with only a button to press if I needed assistance. That is hard whwn you have a seizure because they come out of nowhere and I tried to explain this but was ignored and the fact that I told them I could not breathe. In the night they found me on the floor and was worried about organfailure so I was brought back to intensive care and intubated again. It was after this I could not speak as my vocal cords were now even more damadged. It lead to me needing emurgency surgery and a tracheostomy for me to be able to breathe. It is a tube they put in your neck. Unafortionally they made a mistake with the positioning of the tube and had to redoo the surgery again the next day but this time they also punctured my left lung. I was in the hospital for a month until I could be released home. Having this tracheostomy has turned my life upside down and suffering from bipolar/borderline personality and severe depression/OCD it is hard to cope and find a lust to live any longer but I have my mum and my brother and a friend that stands by me and that i can talk to. I was diagnosed with Epilepsi on top of all this so it has been much to cope with this year and I have had sveral thoughts of ending my life as there is just so much pain you can go through. I hope 2021 will bring something better to all of us and thank you all for accepting me into this group! Happy new year, lots of love / Chris

Hi David, could give some specific on what kind of crazy things you were doing? I'm asking cause I recently broke up with my boyfriend and he checks all the symptoms... He also does crazy shit, hence the break up, I can't take it anymore.

I’m so glad they’ve been helpful! You are most welcome. If you ever have any questions or would like to connect, there’s a link in the video description where I can be reached :-) - Rob
