This is a really good analogy. Like you could take this analogy out of a comedy routine, and it would be an effective way to explain bipolar treatments to people.

I was diagnosed as bipolar in my early 20's. Turns out they were wrong; I'm ADHD and autistic. My "mood swings" were actually overstimulation and impulse control. At 34 years old I finally found the right arm floaties. Life is amazing.

We need to talk about Kevin. As anyone who has mentally ill loved ones knows, they can be tough to be around. You know there's a reason they're like that, and it's not all their fault. But that doesn't excuse all of it and it doesn't make your pain less painful. Shout out to all the Kevins! Take care of yourself too, my man

I've experimented with probably 15 variations of floaties. Different sizes, color combinations, etc. I'm relieved that I finally found a pair that keeps my head above water. And frankly, I'd rather be the one with floaties than the one pissing and shitting in the pool.

@Sypherz Год назад

I was a Kevin. I still feel horrible for having to end the relationship, but I didn't make a good arm floatie. This actually made me feel better. Thanks Taylor!

@anjelica948 Год назад

I was both a Kevin, and a person who needed arm floaties, just at different points in my life. If you are a Kevin, there is nothing wrong with making sure you don’t drown. I had to end several close and meaningful relationships (of which I don’t have many) because they kept using me to keep them afloat, and I could feel myself being shoved under. Later, I had to realize that just because I could swim in the shallow end, so to speak, didn’t mean I could go beyond where I couldn’t touch- and needed some floaties if I wanted to not drown. Still trying to figure out which ones I need, but until then, I’m staying out of the pool.

@carlodave9 Год назад

When I first sought treatment for major depression, one of the first tangible things I was told to do was avoid depressed, needy, crazy-making people (like me!). That depressed me even more because it’s really a roundabout way of saying that unwell people (like me!) are toxic and have a tendency to hold others down. That’s bad enough to consider, but they also, in effect, were actually advising me to find more people (like you!) who can endure the dead weight of emotional ball and chains (like me!). That’s a pretty toxic message for all involved! Now we have arm floaty meds, which help take the immediate burden off ourselves AND others. But I noticed several current motivational self improvement books still advise people that to be happy and successful it is imperative to steer clear of downer people at all costs. In whatever case, the message boils down to the fact that life is harsh and unfair; we gotta save ourselves whatever way we can.

@ashleighelizabeth5916 Год назад

Been there and done that too. And I wasn't the best swimmer to begin with. I walked away from a relationship with somebody when I was young and had self doubts about it for years so when I was presented with a relationship where the other person kept wanting to try and make it work again even though it was toxic I kept getting sucked back in over and over again. I no longer feel terrible about being done with that one. I no longer feel terrible about not being in a relationship. I'm learning that I enjoy my own company more than I do that of the majority of people in this world. I'm busy working on trying to live my best life for me and not to fit into some box of perfect for somebody else.

@Shakes-Off-Fear 6 месяцев назад

I was a Kevin. She insisted that she didn’t have any problems… while she was simultaneously insanely jealous and emotionally manipulative. Been in my own therapy for years and years before and after and I know how much it can help.

@DanKaschel Месяц назад

@@carlodave9I think that's fear telling you that that is reality. But imo the truth is somewhat less cynical. We all have strengths and weaknesses. We all have more to offer in some places than others. If you are super low on ability to self-regulate, pouring energy into other people who are struggling to self-regulate is a bad idea. But if you are self-regulating well, it's not toxic at all to help a person struggling in that area but who has other things to offer that improve your life.

It talked about arm floaties. You turned it into your own issues. People are agreeing with you because it's a common thing to do. You successfully recognizing your issues does not excuse you from handling them.

@VedaunshGuitarLessons Год назад

@@ehodaef Are you sure she only spoke about arm floaties? Cause in my opinion she hinted at a lot of important points with an arm floaties analogy, that's why she started the joke with mental illness. But if you still think I'm wrong, then let's just agree to disagree.

I have Tourette's Syndrome I need several types of flotation devices to stay buoyant because my parents didn't believe in water safety until my mom fell in the pool herself. Apparently telling someone who's body is out of her control that drowning is fake and that she can swim given enough willpower isn't effective treatment and I ended up in this cool place for a while where they took away my shoelaces but gave me some reaaaal comfy socks. This analogy is getting really out of hand for me because I also legitimately nearly died from drowning 😅
