It's hard to talk about my emotions as a man from my point of view. Everybody just expects you to have your shit together. Hurts so freaking much to have to bottle everything up and pretend you're okay. I learned that if I were to break down publicly, people would become afraid of me, especially if you're a big guy like me.

I understand that those fears are valid, people especially women don't know if I'm a threat. But that makes it incredibly difficult to open up. Whiskey is so much easier.

My mother is bipolar. She has mania. I hated seen her like that. I pray for her. All I ever wanted and still want is her love.😭

I wish I could see you for a diagnosis. I would trust your findings and would get an understanding of why I do what I do and feeling the way I feel. And be able to get the proper help I need.

[gagecarty]

That's what people need is more clarity on the disorder

[michellerenee]

i have not had either episode in 3 years thank god but i spent 35 years in mania pure mania never depressed just mania took 3 years of lithium then i was put on Lamictal and viladone i am normal now

[Alwaysherethere]

[samanthamcintyre]

I have schizoaffective disorder and I never go to normal am either depressed or manic, I am not taking my anti psychotics for 3 days now want to see if I can get off them for a week, they make me sick

[Rainbowitch]

Me with bipolar bpd and adhd at the same time. Ah yes.. I love my contradicting mental illness

[markford]

One misconception here of note, is that one never returns completely to a premorbid state, in between episodes.

Great explanation Dr 👌
Please explain further on Schizoaffective - Bipolar type. Does that mean that psychosis/delutions are always present and not just during mania?

[Peace-dr]

The amount of times ive described this exactly like. This to doctors but they wikl not consider it as bipolar and also think you can only have bpd even when there's a clear pattern you described as ive tokd them. I also never self harm. Ironically they talk about dialectics in dbt but cant themselves see that two things can exist at once mayhe one more than the other with depression being the longer term state then hypomania

[zzzcocopepe]

Interesting. I've never known anything about bipolar disorder

[mdkhan]

...so No Mania - No Depression!🤷🏿‍♀️ Easy right? Yeh right!😝😏

[mdkhan]

Mine is a Mania🥴🥴🥴🚑💊💉 followed by Clinical DEPRESSION😔😫.

[luzcarinanunez]

What about when Mania last for months, just as long as the depression stage

[Buster-imso]

That happens to me like a seasonal change. I didn't know it's bipolar disorder. I mean, I go weeks sitting at home with some legit excuse. Today, it's my hernia surgery healing- after 6 weeks!

[germanpatis]

what if you have mood swings from depression to mania but it alternates from one to another in a matter of days, hours, sometimes minutes? is that not a bipolar? then what is it?

[richardleetbluesharmonicac]

Adhd is identical but different. I have all these symptoms yet tested through a comprehensive test i’m not bipolar. I have been tortured by people giving me mood suppressors for my ADHD, giving me brain damage and dysphoria.

[TMZDDZ]

Is this something that can be treated without pharmaceuticals?
