@SuperMe4lyfe Take care?
@PennyAnn25 thanx for telling me that. i guess? its just one step at a time like my psychiatrist said…
@SuperMe4lyfe I can understand feeling angry and frustrated and desiring to lash out onto others, but? that would only cause others undo pain. Those children’s parents wouldn’t deserve the pain of losing children. And to desire lashing out on yourself isn’t the answer either. When I attempted suicide at 15 I found myself in the ER begging for my life. I realized that I didn’t really want to die, I just got sick of feeling miserable. It took time, really. Please reach out if you feel unsafe.
I have bipolar disorder. I’m 15 and it really sucks. The lonliness. The isolation. The Depression. The pain. I feel as though I could kill myself at times to relieve my stress and just end it all. I’ve even thought about shooting up my school if I ever got access to a gun. And the therapy and Seroquel meds are annoying as hell. I don’t feel anyone understands me? or ever will
@snowboarddude10 Thank you for all of your input. You are right in that we all pretty much want the same basic things out of this one life we’ve been given – love life happiness freedom health friends/family etc?
@snowboarddude10 Staying positive & confident is OK when my moon is normal or a little high, but when I am in a? depressed episode NOTHING can bring about a sense of positvity or confidence. So I just wait it out.
@snowboarddude10 This is true. If someone is the type to talk about me behind my back then they aren’t going to be somoene I would want in my circle of friends. I am a lot better about being me & not how I think others want? me to be. I see my ‘oddities’ as fun quirks & unique personality traits. I lost that for awhile. I was a ‘punk rocker’ when younger then went mainstream to please others. I am now more like I was when I was punk & don’t apologize for being different.
@snowboarddude10 I have had to overcome severe SAD several different times in my life. If I don’t keep up with it, especially if I fall behind due to a depressive episodes, I have to start all over from the beginning. It can take months or years even & I have to keep up with it. I am working to overcome it once again. I am almost at the point that is my max. I’ll always have a little anxiety in certain situations but not the time. This video is 5 months old, so? I’ve done more since then.
I assure YOU, You’re no different than any of us humans, actually u are! we aren’t all the same, But, you’re a normal human? being, don’t let your brain fuck with you. Stay positive =) and good luck
All you have to do is stay POSITIVE, and CONFIDENT, I’m sick of therapists teling me that, but sadly there right, But there Sugar coating is just annoying as fuck. For instance: you’re at walmart, theres a lot of people there. You’re starting to get paranoid, Just continue shopping, remember you’re there for a reason. Not? to please others.
Just don’t worry about everyone else, You are your own person, why worry about how other people look at you? Your (sad) is caused of fer that people will talk about u behind your back? Don’t worry not everbodys an ass hole. when u feel like that just tell yourself, No, there my friend, they wouldn’t talk about me like? that. If somebody gives u positive feed back, and you feel there bull shitting, JUST stay confident. we’re humans, we aren’t all perfect.
I’m 14 years old, and have social anxiety disorder with bipolar. Yeah? it sucks. But the social anxiety is easy to overcome. I only notice OTHER peoples social anxiety, not my own. i notice my moms. The thing is, when u have (SAD) You can’t really initiate, you’re afraid of rejection. Well, You’re setting yourself up though. because when you look so standoffish, whos going to initiate a convo with you? No one wants to, because they’ll look like a fool.
@mayo007 Latelyl, I have been emphasizing to myself that I am allowed to make mistakes as long as I learn from them & I am allowed to have annoying or frustrating personality quirks. I don’t have to apologize for being me, but I will apologize for my behavior. “I’m sorry about that. I get over protective of the dogs sometimes.” I also allow myself do over days. When I? mess up a day, the next day is an opportunity to do things differently.
@mayo007 This is something I have to actively practice & remind myself every day. Of course, sometimes I have to think further into the future, but I do so only briefly & stay focused on getting done what needs done today. If I don’t, I’m overwhelmed & paralyzed. I also remind myself that other people have bad days & misunderstandings & mistakes so I try not to get bent out of shape when I don’t like the way someone else is acting.?
Last thing… once you’ve let go of needless worries and paranoias, step up and be who you are. It becomes effortless, ut you have to first give youself credit and respect. It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks of you. Only what you think. So at some point you must stand up and say I am ready to be me. With confidence that whatever happens you have dignity because you let go and allowed yourself to be a person. You must allow yourself? to be social and at ease with the situation.how?
I’ve had people I thought were friends slander me for being different,? but it’s just that part of my personality that has pushed me to experience and accomplish more than they ever will. So, is it a curse…yes, but is it a blessing once you understand the purpose of the obstacle you’ve been dealt…yes. Be strong, you aren’t weak… you are overly conscientious. Let go and be thankful for who you are. Some of the most brilliant people have had these obstacles.
2nd Let go… since you now realise you are not in control. You have what is in front of you now and nothing more. So, don’t spin out on things you have to do later in the day or later in the week. Deal with the current moment and realize you have everything you need to be successful just by letting go and stop trying to control everything. People will always be what they are and if they talk? about you or judge you, at least you can take comfort in the fact that you choose not to be that way
I have been diagnosed by several doctors as having bipolar and anxiety disorder. Accompanied by panick attacks. I am on lithium carbonate and xanax. I wish I didn’t have to take anything to feel centered and at ease, but I do. I wanted to comment to say that I empathize with you all and to give a bit of wisdom that has helped me in tough times when I didn’t have? my meds. 1st revelation is that you are not in control of 99% of the things happening that you think you are and that you worry about.
@XxXPrettyLikeDrugsXx Most of the time it is your brain messing with you – feeling like people look at you strange, but even if someone does look at you strangely…. It? happens. It’s uncomfortable, yes, but it’s a fact of life. There will always be people that roll their eyes at you or make faces behind your back. Altough, adding on all the imagined strange looks it can be quite overwhelming times, I know.
@XxXPrettyLikeDrugsXx I feel like people look at me strange too. I imagine people making faces & rolling their eyes when my back? is turned. I had to talk to a group of people at the animal shelter & I stammered, cheeks got red & burned, voice shook & my brain made it worse by telling me “everyone can tell how nervous you are, you look foolish” I just knew they’d talk about it behind my back. I hate it SO much. But when I was a teen I was a punk rocker & I wanted people to look at me strange.
i have the same thing.I was told by alot of doctors and people that i was shy,quiet,& sensitive.But i was afraid of people,i thought everyone hated me.i still have issues fitting in with people,it feels like they look at? me strange.
@moonflower2345 Thank? you
@uldiah I did that too. My world became very tiny. I only felt safe inside my home, so I stayed there so I cold avoid? the anxiety and stress. But it also made me feel very lonely and depressed after awhile.
great video .? thank you .
I would love a video on more of your techniques for organization, remembering things, remembering to take medication, ect.? I am a mom and I have trouble just remembering things my kids need for school, projects. I notice so many of the notes and things on your door. How do you do it?!
