How I Am Living A Happy And Successful Life With Bipolar 

I would say that mental illnesses are very different from cancer, because cancer is seen as this horrible disease that you didn’t choose and you have side effects and so much more, but mental illnesses are not taken as seriously/as serious as they should. Like said in this documentary, no one chooses to be depressed, bipolar or have any kind of mental illness. Still, society sees them as something you can easily overcome or worse, something you chose. I have cancer. It has taken many things from me and has caused me to have anxiety and other mental illnesses; and they make my life at least as difficult as my cancer does. I hope you will/are having/had fun in Italy xx

Dang this girl had cancer anorexia AND bipolar disorder. She's a queen and nobody can convince me otherwise.

I am so proud ❤❤ my bestie has bipolar and now I know her future will be amazing

Mental health is as important as physical health

Dam girl you have been through a lot. Much respect ✊

I’m literally crying listening to her family 😭 reminds me of mine... the level of confusion and care. I was diagnosed in hospital as well during psychosis and at the time I remember thinking I one will ever speak to me again now. The love and support my family and friends have showed me still shocks me to my core. I just wish there was something incredible I could do to show them how much I appreciate them. I struggle to show it day to day as I’m still always a bit out of it. And the meds... I put on 20kg in a month.

I have bipolar and it can be hard at times, university was a nightmare and staying in the psych ward isn't a joke either. That said being on the right medication helps a lot and knowing how to take care of yourself is key.

Bipolar or depression, anorexia, and OCD are all linked. They are all due to abnormal levels of serotonin and norepinephrine.

Thank you. My son has bipolar polar. I have guilt and shame he moved out got really sick and suicidal. I feel so much guilt and shame he now lives with me it's still hard. Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful inside & out! I love you Brescia. Thank you for sharing & being so open about your journey. Giving hope to others with the same condition. You truly have a heart of gold!

You have the literal face and voice of an angel! I'm so happy you're able to live a happy life now

Girl, you are an inspiration and so strong a person. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for letting the world know that mental illness isn't a taboo. Thanks for giving others hope in their life. I cried through it all cause I felt your pain and struggle. I have 5 mental illness and honestly I'm doing just fine and people as you gives me hope and strength about the future and dreaming. THANKS for being YOU!! ❤

You're so strong ❤❤❤

Your not alone. I have bipolar,anxiety and major depression plus I have a chronic illness. Sending prayers and love your way.

She is the bravest most prettiest girl ever 😔 she doesn’t deserve to have these diseases 😭at all

I was diagnosed with bipolar 1 in September. I have experienced full blown psychosis 3 times over the past 6 years. This video gave me a lot of hope.

You are so inspirational thank you for sharing ❤️

Thank you for sharing. my daughter has been diagnosed with bi polar 2. You have a powerful story.

You have no idea how helpful your video is 💜

So happy for you. You are an inspiration for those of us who have mental illness. Thanks for posting this

Keep up the great work! I am struggling with bipolar to, it’s taking me a very long time to get used to taking meds but I am getting there.

oh my god! this is just so sad i just barely watched the end we all love you no matter who you are even those who are no longer with us

Hey this is super inspiring! I have struggled a lot and I totally want to raise awareness just like you! Creating beautiful pieces of art is how I want to communicate with others the raw, realistic truth about mental illness. I have found hope and music has been a really good way for me to cope with everything. Thank you for opening up! ❤️

You are very smart and self-aware. I hope you will be an advocate for other young people with mental health issues. When I was young, and dealing with issues, it was hard due to lack of support and understanding. There certainly was no RU-vid! God bless you, and please keep sharing!👍❤

Wait I just saw the anorexia one and the fact that you made it through that AND living happily with bipolar disorder is just amazing.

Thank you for sharing your story. It has given me hope.

Amazing you had parents who cared. 🙏🏻

Thank you for video as a fellow bipolar I understand what you been through I been in and out of psychosis for years actually my wife wants to leave me due to it my whole family on my dad's side left they just told me to get over it my dad asked me how long I was going to use it as a crutch but thank you very much for your videos

Beautiful story I hope ours turns out as good, god willing

Thank you my friend ❤

You are gorgeous!!! keep being you!

That’s awesome that your doing well but I wonder have you dealt with the ups in downs? Do you or have you fought going back in forth with manic or hypo manic and depression? Because psychosis and manic is one thing but a huge struggle with bi-polar is the everyday or every week of highs and lows. Thanks I would love to understand more how you over come such a hard battle In your everyday life

Thank you for your video. Mental health is not spoken about enough and I’m sure it’s difficult to be so open but it makes such a difference :) Also, what does Grit mean?

I got diagnosed bipolar 2 and you're motivation too me

I hope you overcome most of your ıllnesses and traumas

Thank u that was very encouraging

You have a beautiful family! Ur a beautiful woman as well. God bless you guys you all are not lucky your BLESSED!💙

God bless you 🙏 you are all amazing

You are amazing unique and beautiful so keep it up blue is there for you were ever you go love you xx

I have bipolor disorder I got diagnosed when I was 4 and have been taking medication since I was 5 and it doesn't seem or feel like I have it. my only problems are I'm really hyper all the time and have periods of time were i can't control my emotions so I'll be sad 1sec and happy the next. im 11 now

These are the times when world seems irrelevant except the family. Family is everything. Friends and relatives distanced themselves during the bad times.

Hello Brescia I was diagnosed with bipolar in 2017 and since then my life has been up and down... I am either in mania or depression and I really can't concentrate on anything. I have tried school or work and nothing seems to work. I am desperate to find out how you managed to control the episodes and got your life back

Nice family. Hope she is doing ok

Your cry is so beautiful

Some things that the family feels from the patient, the patient may be ferling it already from the family but holds inside due to the intensity and the multiple things that interfere.

I feel so bad for her

Warning for anyone who is thinking about going to Sierra Tucson now.. it's not how it use to be. It was taken over by a big corporation and just isn't the same. They're money hungry and it's like a jail, a very unorganized one. You dont get the help you need unless you're there for addiction because that's what makes money. You end up going to lectures for addiction and hardly get any type of therapy or treatment for the disorder you're there for. What you could have learned from there, what helped this girl here, is DBT skills. Dialectical behavioral therapy skills. Look it up. Buy a workbook for it or ask a therapist about it. It's the only proven successful treatment for bpd that works for everyone suffering from this disorder but you have to put your own effort into it for it to work. Gl.

How could you deal with communication effectiveness, it is too difficult for me and I read my psychology results that mentions my lack of it.

Dear all. Can bipolar treat completely with medication?

I was skinny in high school. Right now I’m feeling sad because of how I changed over time. I have got called fat by my boyfriend dad . I got called fat by my grandpa

I wish I could of had the resources you have. Very lucky. I am happy that you are conquering the Hell that Bi Polar brings. But this video is very depressing to me. Because of my reality. I dont have family or The money to pay for help I need. Im really Happy for you! I hope you maintain your achievements

Hi I’m looking for a medication for my son, which are you taking ?

Treatment costs alot. Many people can not afford it.

I relate to this SO HARD!!! 😭 But I refuse to allow this shit to define my life! Bipolar ppl have too much to offer the world!

Bipolar is quit a challenge in Kenya. I'm bipolar myself .. the medication is very expensive! Very

What about bipolar and toxic family together

❤️❤️❤️

I have ADHD

I have bipolar it's o hard for me

I have bipolar my name isKara Decker . I feel like I’m too fat I feel like I’m not skinny enough. I have been called fat.

Hello. My parents unfortunately didn't except me. I was rejected bye my mother after I ld say about 20ish. I forgive her because she was unaware. I forgive you mommy. But I'm ok. Support is imperative.

what happened to Blue

I have bipolar Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) seasonal affective disorder (SAD), ADHD, PTSD, depression, and insomnia, alot of people like to tell me that its easy to live with all these disorders and i dont know what to believe anymore have i been lieing to my self is it really that easy

❤

❤️❤️Blue❤️❤️

Ifk what. That is but girl yaasssd

Yeah bipolar takes over your mind. Your mind doesn’t take over bipolar. It’s a chemical metabolic change. It’d be just like if you had any other illness. Studies show its unusual changes in the hippocampus and limbic system. So it’s just as medical as any other illness. When you think about it, it’s your brain asleep while it’s awake. Psychosis is basically dreaming during the day. And no one says when you go to sleep you choose your dreams. So just try and be helpful and treat the condition the way you would treat every condition out there.

معنی Grit چیه ؟

Ein hübscher amerikanischer Traum 😂 hat wenig mit der überwiegenden Realität von Bipolar disorder und dem täglichen Kampf damit , zu tun , von Glück weitentfernt
