Have disclosed this deepest secret to my SRO management for a variety of reasons. After more than a decade with them without drama and should have figured this out. Not worrying as much Thanks!

Your man on this issue kind of looks like a troubled Kurt Russell.

Was it John Rambo? Had to be.

I didn't feel guilt, I just react to negativity towards me! Im bipolar and hyperthyroid! A combination that is life threatening! I'm very blunt. Amazingly my friends find it interesting and entertaining. The truth sounds like a joke, I find humor in everything.I used to own a bar ! I was the entertainment. Had everyone laughing and dancing with me. Then I would all them to the bar and they laughed so much, they were thirsty as hell. It was great! Bipolar was a plus !? Amazing! But true.😂🎉

Polar Warriors is an anchor for me. You’re a very authentic, intelligent and courageous guy. 🎉

My biggest trigger is my ADHD and lack of memory. I recently completely lost it when I had to do some virtual training. Passwords and sign in’s etc. I get so frustrated, angry and anxious. I can feel my self worth drop like an avalanche.

love this one

My excessive masturbation to Internet sexual material led me to first strip clubs, then to online dating site and one night stands. I then further regressed to massage parlors and prostitution. It seems I have been in manic episodes when I was hypersexual.

I have a question for y'all. I'm going to visit a family member who I'm very close to. They have bipolar as well as a whole bunch of other health problems, some of which are terminal. I have PTSD which is triggered hard whenever anyone yells and swears. We try to compare it to my Tourette's because I don't have control over what I say when I'm ticcing, but my tics might be something like a random f bomb that is otherwise out of context. I'm worried, though, that if they're in an episode, they could accidentally say something that would deliberately hurt me. What should I do if that happens?

I needed this

i have the most wonderful and caring family. when i am down it is really hard sometimes to not look back, and think about how i yelled and screamed the most insane things in their faces for no reason.

Varsity and junior varsity. Major and minors. Thanks! I thought you meant BP1v 2. This still holds up.

A kind of better with Antipsychotics? Was not, and Mood Disorders are all the Rage.

Sometimes, when I'm in an agitated hypomania, I firmly believe my husband doesn't believe my diagnosis, but when I take the time to calm down, I often realise that it's me that is telling myself that without any proof. We are sometimes very harsh on our spouses and that is unfair to them. We should try our best not to engage in unnecessary fights.

Eqiuisite timing on this!

Haha😂

Return to the law of the jungle or the school yard when your weakest. Despicable! Older brother and control? Over! handled it well. Felt better instantaneously. Thanks!

I cheated on my wife during a manic episode. I was in an asain massage parlor and paid for a handjob. I felt guilt and told my wife. She wasn't happy. She srayed with me, though.

You are right on brother. My hypersexuality has lead me to strip clubs, then massage parlors and acting out with prostitues. It started withmanic episodes that lead to pornography use and masturbation. This lead to guilt. The cycle then starts over again. It's insanity trying to overcome sexual things.

Sometimes you just need that little nudge to remind yourself that your mistakes do not define you. Thank you, Rob!

If possible might a video on bipolar and cognitive decline as a result be possible? Nothing to report. May not ever happen but I would like to be able to handle still another blizzard. Many Thanks!

Sigh…. I just prefer to be silent when I just can’t see the positive.

I’m not quite bi-polar but I can feel my mind start to wonder off and I have to almost catch myself from starting to become strange again. I’m doing much much better now though.

@Weightloss330bipolar hope this is ok

Rob, are still accepting patreon subscriptions for monthly talks? Struggling really badly.

Best and worst job all in one for me. I used to be a day programmer for a center for people experiencing mental illness and special needs. The clients I worked with warmed my heart. The staff and management on the other hand was a huge trigger for me, completely disregards illness all together. The whole place needs to be gutted of staff and rehired with people who have appropriate credentials and experience dealing with the clients respectfully and also the staff.

Since bi polar resembles narcissist traits so closely, thats a quick no-go for me. Being raised by a narcissist literally ruined my life, therefore when i see red flags in people i run. Fast. I have enough of my own issues, i don't need a new set of manipulations/gaslighting/lies/grandiosity/fuuudge that. I have a full plate of issues, and wish you all success with your personality disorders.

It sounds very similar to my childhood and teeneghood.

😮😢

Ok

Stop tea, coffee, chocolate, substance, alcohol. Go to bed early. Sleep 7-8 hours. Walk 2 hours a day. Breathe. Awareness. Good books, Cut tv, phone time. No fast food, no no no. Proper home cooked food.

Excellent point. AFTER I feel guilty, I try to soften. Only after using self compassion can I think how might have reacted more calmly, maturely; recognizing I have choices in reacting only comes when I am patient and curious with myself. I look to peeps I admire and observe their diplomacy. This process is subtle but worth noting...and not easy, to say the least, lol. AH! I appreciate your channel!

I once was at a black tie event that had a silent auction. I ended up winning a signed hockey stick and lower bowl tickets to a game for me and 3 others. During the post gala portion of the evening, it came time for dancing. While we were dancing and having a good time, I decided it would be a good idea to go around and smack people with my hockey stick. It wasn't a violent "smack", but it was something unwanted and I'm sure made people uncomfortable and irritated. I did that the entire time I was on the dance floor. The next day I realized what I had done and was seriously embarrassed. I was so distraught. I wished I could apologize to everyone who was there. But the only person I could reach out to was my friend who was the founder of the non-profit. I asked her for forgiveness and told her I didn't know what I was doing. She of course said it wasn't a big deal. But it was to me and was really embarrassing and humiliating. All this to say is, I have a really tough time feeling guilty after I have done something like this to my friends. It's something I am working on. I am stable right now, so being this out of control is not a problem at the moment, but feeling guilty is definitely a growth process and one that I continue to struggle with. Sorry for such a long story, but I thought it may be relevant to this subject. Thanks.

My boss found out much the same time as I did. Spent some time in a psych hospital after not sleeping for a week and was diagnosed there. When I got out he asked what was up so I told him and he basically said it made sense and asked how I was dealing with it. I can tell him when I’m symptomatic or struggling with meds and he knows he can tell me if he notices something I don’t. He has his own issues which I can also comment on, we have a great relationship.

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

For me, its the worst part of life. Its part of the disorder and in my 25 year marriage, I'm left to feel ashamed for the high libido, and/or become resentful because as a man, I'm simply are NOT allowed to express. Bipolar women can still cheat and they have a community of supporters that are there to blame it on the husband but it doesn't work the other way around. I get super resentful and jealous of the men married to bipolar women who aren't cheaters because every couples testimony reports to have an incredibly fulfilling sex life, much more equitable with a man's urges, but without the shame. Imagine the closeness of a relationship without gatekeeping. Bipolar or not, we shouldn't have to be shamed when our actual desires and needs are normal and pure, especially in marriages. It's her way or the highway in both cases.

Hey Rob, I’m awake and it’s the middle of the night. I’m 63, and I‘ve been dealing with Bipolar Disorder since I was 23. When I first got diagnosed with BP, mixed states, there was hardly anything to read about it. (Remember, there was no internet!). But your videos are the best resource I have ever found. I think of how my might have been so different if I had a resource like your videos back then. Way to go! 🎉❤

I’m so angry all the time I get angry over the smallest things I really want to change

Guilt/regret is a daily struggle for me. Thanks for this Rob. ❤️

When I spend money I feel guilty for having it to spend. My head starts to feel up with to many things I start talking to myself for it to stop. It works most of the time.

To polar warriors. How did you lose weight? I have bipolar 1 and im on abilify. Any help from anyone is appreciated. God bless

I was diagnosed with bipolar and I cry all the time and I feel guilty over the least little thing I’m paranoid feeling like people are mad at me when they aren’t really that they always forgive when needed and I worry that if I make the least little mistake then everybody what’s to just walk out on me and not even give me another look I have one person that has been with me for 10 years she is a much needed staff person that comes to take care of me

I relate to all of this but I am a teenager

My partner has bipolar symptoms. But she is refusing to consult a therapist and get diagnosed. How do I convince her? Every 2 weeks, she gets the episode which includes extreme mood swings, anger, shouting, extreme alcohol consumption. What do I do?

Very helpfull, thnx bro.

Thak u so much. I m trying to understand what s going on with me, in a very strange moment I m having. I was diagnosed 10 years now. Never felt like this time. I m watching a lot of your videos. My dr says its the winter, but this time is different. Horrible. I don t wanna be hospitalized again.

I've been bipolar all my life all I ever knew before meds , I didnt get diagnosed till I was 26 ,and I like the Info that's similar to how I been thinking so that's re assuring some

I didn't choose to be bi-polar.
