Rapid cycling is a double edged sword. On one hand I’m not riding a high for too long, or stuck in a low for too long. On the other hand, I never know which “me” I’m going to wake up to on any given day.

It’s akin to going from a mountain top down to sea level endlessly and it’s is giving me altitude sickness.

[Phoenix-mdsh]

This disorder is hell to me because I have to constantly reinvent myself after episodes. I don't really know who I am most of the time and when I feel I'm just about to get me, I realize I have more work to do.

I was originally diagnosed with Severe Manic Depression, but it turned out I had super low testosterone that was giving me mood swings. Definitely worth getting checked!

I'm a 40 year old male that feels nothing but almost uncontrollable rage and anger ALL the time.

Just got diagnosed with bipolar disorder while I’m in a PTSD treatment facility.
Life is tough sometimes man..patch me up and back out firefighting. Sad though. Hard to see the light at the end of this tunnel.

[SAMEntalhealth]

I definitely have this. I get afraid of mornings idk how I'm going to feel or who I'm going to be😢😢

I was diagnosed bipolar, 1974 and it made me incredibly good athlete. I don’t understand why he gave me a sense of focus and sense of fearlessness but I think if I did not have a sport to channel, I probably would have been in trouble 24 seven bipolar is not a death sentence by any means you have to keep a log. You have to keep track of what you’re doing and what you’re thinking so you can keep your self centered and going forward people with bipolar traditionally Have. Higher IQs, higher levels of performance, which, of course is countered with terrible bout of depression. That’s the part that you need some Manic Episodes go out and get a lot of stuff done when you’re depressed fighting fight through it never give up never surrender.

I've lived with a spouse who has bipolar for 17 yrs now and it is so hard to deal with.

My daughter was diagnosed at 13 and she was treated like a lab rat with countless meds, all with terrorible side effects. An ER doctor told us during a meltdown visit that a keto-tyoe diet, regular exercise, Wim Hof breathing, cold showers and yoga would be extremely helpful. He said Bipolar was very similar to epilepsy, and both resukted from a deficiency of GABA protein in the brain. My daughter changed her diet, to include GABA-producing foods, exercising regularly and going to routine therapy and takes CBD and has done really well without medication for several years. She had Bipolar Type 1 rapid cycling, but has done so well with diet, exercand these other natural approaches.

I finally have a diagnosis at 17 with bipolar and it’s truly one of the hardest things over ever had to deal with. The older I get the worst it gets and I don’t wanna end up in another long term place because my family can’t handle me

I have been diagnosed with adhd about 4 years ago and general social anxiety disorder I think it's called something like that when I say some days it really fluctuates by week but I wake up really angry sometimes with a full nights sleep and ill try to contain myself when people point out I'm not in a good mood but I end up lashing out at them in the moment because of the blind rage I wake up in sometimes to only go back to my room and break down for how I've treated everyone and when I say this as well I don't have a short temper im quite patient but some days at random the most minuscule things will set me into an uncontrollable rage not as in like hitting and yelling I just end up ruining my day/potential week or whoever is unfortunate enough to be around me

[Enthree-Kaeyo]

being diagnosed bipolar-type here: only noticing my states fluctuating when caring about the ones I care about, then not caring about myself, then vice versa about shutting off everyone and becoming attuned to my inner peace whilst outside I may appear unhinged with an abnormal positive reinforcement

[wileycoyote]

Thank you for touching on this, Dr. Huberman. It is a struggle performing well at work when I am depressed and lethargic so often. My coworkers get confused when I change moods so often, but I don’t blame them considering they don’t know I have bipolar disorder. It doesn’t feel good when one is missing deadlines and working late constantly due to being distracted and foggy during the day. Meds help but they can only do so much. Hanging in there

[deborahgraham]

The only things that sets me off are videos like this. Yes, many folks struggle with their mental health but just as many find help that lasts a lifetime. I'm a bipolar 1 and I have been medicated effectively for years. I am stable and function well in society. I feel for those who are working on their mental health but some of us are doing quite well, thank you.

[sumtingwong]

Yes i FEEL like this when Im working like mad and getting very little sleep or allowing my sleep patterns to be destroyed. It tanked my Testosterone and thats saying something considering ive been lifting since i was 14 and am in very good shape

If you have been diagnosed with rapid cycling bipolar disorder, and you are a women, you might actually have PMDD.

[Lele_draw]

I don't have diagnoses. But I've had depressive phases ever since I was 12. A few years after I started having manic phases. It feels like being trapped in my own mind and body, it's like being a copilot in myself as I don't have any control in both phases. It has gotten so bad that I don't have control about extremely negative thoughts and self harm. I often have longer depressive phases and shorter but more often manic phases - I'm often rapid cycling. It can change in just a few hours or days and sometimes take up to weeks. I'm actually searching for a therapist at the moment. Bless everyone who is struggling too 🙏🏻

Psychedelic’s definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it’s just so hard to source here

[kkech]

I would also like to bring some attention to the fact that it can progress differently for every person. I've had it since puberty (around 12), maybe even earlier, and had mainly prolonged depressive episodes with short hypomanic phases. Like a decade later, I got into full-blown mania but haven't had one manic episode for almost 4 years now, aged 29. What I do have more often now are mixed states or psychotic depression. And the time I've had episodes was in winters at first, now I'm totally spent in summers.

I go from heavwn to hell many times every day!! I am never just depressed or manic. im both all the time....back and forth all day
