Bipolar II
bipolar ii disorder
This video was made during the depression phase of my bipolar disorder. I felt better after making this, I hope that it will help people understand what it is like to live with bipolar.

Did anyone else laugh hysterically at 3:53??
My advice would be to tap into the illness and fuel yourself with its creativity. It’s not the end of the world, so don’t let it be the end of you. I was just feeling very defeated last night, but this morning I feel much better after some sound advice from a friend. Hang in there and enjoy the ride – you’re not alone!! -

You’re right, bi-polar gives you wonderful highs and then without warning send you crashing down. I’m currently creating a list of coping strategies so that I can hurry and distract myself as soon as I notice my mood shifting from high to low. Also it will help to control just how high my mood gets. The worst part of my highs are my rapid speech, i talk so much I can hardly shut up when I’m on a high.

Hi Mitja545, have you seen a doctor? You know there’s medication for the symptoms of bipolar? I know it’s hard, sometimes I feel like I live life walking through a swamp and I’m hoping i don’t drown. Try to find a way to express yourself during the manic cycles too. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I know how you feel. I also have bipolar II and it’s killing me. One minute I’m happy and energetic the next minute I’m sitting on the floor screaming with tears coming out my eyes, unable to stand up… It’s horrible. When I’m manic I worry all the time if I will get depressed soon and try to find reasons to stay alive before it happens, and when I’m depressed all I can think about is death.
I just wish it all ended. Even if I have to give up my life for it…

im afraid im losing friends and my family doesnt care or understand because of this illness. i never knew much about it until 2 months ago when i was diagnosed after a suicide attempt. i lie to keep from being around people and sometimes they find out and they leave, im mean to people when im not depressed, even when i dont try to be. i hate this. i just want to disappear, i want everyone to leave me alone. i cant “snap out of it” or “look on the {fucking) bright side”. there is none.
