Im a 54 year old mom and grandma and cause of watching this brave young woman, i will now get the help i need. I have been battling mental illness in silence for so long and i just can't do it anymore. My oldest daughter now 34 has gotten the help she needs and now it's my turn. Thank you for being so brave
You're amazing 💖
@@planetstarshine6867 thank you
You go girl! seek and ye shall find. Everyone loves a good triumphant story, let the World hear yours.
I was 57 when I learned my grandma had bipolar. Yikes. I don't know how I did it.
Vickie is now delivered from Ancestral!in Jesus mighty name Amene Amene Amene!
I resonated with when she said "It's like you don't want people to see it. But then, people.. don't see it". For me it was definitely the internalized stigma and fear of others knowing so the sentence is so perfectly said
I’m 47 & was only just diagnosed a few years ago after a near total mental breakdown. I was diagnosed with a serious life threatening illness & while fighting to stay alive my big brother & father died. After being placed on proper psychiatric medication I feel so much more stable mentally & physically than I ever was in my entire life. I can’t believe I lived so many decades in such pain. I used to pray for God to take me so I didn’t have to even breathe for 24 more hours. Now I have a FUTURE & I’m 𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚- even on the worst days. Genuinely.
I’m sending ALL my love, thoughts & prayers to everyone out there struggling. It CAN get better. I promise.❤
Eu tb sofri muito,os meus pais nunca me levaram ao médico,eu só descobri á dez anos para cá, agora tenho 49 anos,mas ainda sofro muito, não sei porquê, tenho muita desmotivação, não consigo trabalhar .
OH MY GOSH! So excited to be here!!!!
Hi deese..
Gorgeous!
Nice to see you fellow warrior.
Holliday deese nutz
You are so brave! Congrats
Hi everyone: It's so nice to see you all again on CZcams. I want to meet you all one day. I can relate to you because I am also bipolar. Take care and stay safe.
@matchpoint Thank you.
@@marleenninaka1303 hey, how are you doing? 😊
Girl, there are so many people have mental disabilities like you, most just don't talk about it. Thank you for opening up about it and helping to reduce the stigma! It's so important to talk about it and show people you are still a perfectly normal person who can life a good life, just with some more struggles and obstacles. I myself am 24 and have PTSD, my roommate has bipolar and I have a close friend with clinical depression. There are literally so many of us!
Also you are really beautiful, intelligent, fun and seem to he very strong and resilient. I get the feeling we could be good friends if we would meet in real life!
Yess!! This is the best comment ever
bipolar isn't a mental disability. It's a mood swing disorder. A mental disability is something like down syndrome.
@dylanalexander4393 actually it is a mental disability and illness of the brain a disability is any illness that impairs you whether it's psychical or psychological
@dearest_dallas so is depression
I have Bipolar as well, it's always been a struggle for me. But I've never once hidden my diagnosis from people. I have a bad habit of telling people I meet that I have Bipolar, it gets me judged a lot. However, I'm quite proud of my differences and I love who I am.
Yes we know. Repent
Good for you!
@@rin-bw5ks thank you! I’m excited to announce that I’m moving out of my parents house in a few days. I’ve come a very long way.
@@manickitty2783 that’s awesome! your journey must have been very difficult i can imagine, so you have every right to be proud of yourself for this milestone. :))
@@rin-bw5ks thank you!
This video was insanely remarkable for me, as I have a family member with adaption disorders, which its low phases are moody and similar to Holliday description. I have always find it difficult to understand it, but seeing Holliday and her sister being so nice and comprehensive to each other inspired me to be better.
I hope you guys will stay very close❤️
I can totally relate to you and your situation being bipolar 2. I take my medicine and go to therapy. But there are still days that are bad but I think that’s just living with the disease. People don’t understand that it is a silent disease. That we look normal but we really have a disease..🌻
I didn't think that such beauty was possible.
God is very talented 🙌. She is indeed soo beautiful. God bless her and her family
She looks like a beautiful vampire like Bella swan mixed with Catherine from vampire diary 🥰🥰🥰
Your brain .............😢 my god ! 😔
@@xx-wabbit-xx what?
I live where Vampire Diaries was filmed…
@@lapizza7175 relis le message de nucy keli, elle parle comme les jeunes filles décérébrés qui s'intéressent aux " beau " ténébreux avec les longues dents ! J'ai mis un creux dans mon premier message car le pronostic vital de son cerveau ( à nucy keli ) est engagé
@@xx-wabbit-xx mais elle a pas le droit d'aimer les airs ténébreux?
There's something about this video that's very comforting to me. I really like Holliday's vibe and chemistry with her family and friends. Wish her and SBSK all the best! P.S. Yay, comments!
I remember I saw this video when it first came out and I identified so much with everything she said.
Sometimes it feels so validating to hear others talk about thing you also experience. Thank you for taking the time to do this video. I hope the stigma around this disorder goes away soon.
I just got diagnosed at 32. I would have never thought this was the reason I acted the way I acted. Those high feelings make you feel so so good like everything euphoric. But those lows make you think bad thoughts and wanting to be alone. 😢
Just because you're happy one day and depressed the next doesn't mean you're bipolar
Holliday thank you so much for this video. I was randomly diagnosed with Bipolar II a couple weeks ago and it has been a massive shock for me and turned my life upside down. This video helped me understand a lot. I felt conflicted about taking meds because I knew I would miss those happy creative manic episodes but your message has run clear in my mind since I've become aware of my disorder. "They just aren't worth it."
They're not! Not for all the sadness that comes hand in hand with it. So thank you for saying that and sharing your story. It helped me in a really low and confusing time in my life
Hi Sarah here
Please what medicine do u use
I need helppp
@@sarabourne5822 Hey love! I use a mood stabiliser for my bipolar called Tegratol and an anti-depressant named Meclobemide. They help me immensely but I definitely recommend a proper therapist diagnosing what type of meds you need and what amount :)
I am SO glad to find this, I appreciate it so much. My partner has bipolar type 2 and she doesn’t like talking about it in depth, so this is helping me understand as much as I can!
When it comes to the flakiness I’m definitely 100% that way friends and family can get extremely irritated and annoyed with me backing out of a lot of activities and of course when I’m feeling my highest and happiest I want to go make plans with my family so I’ll make plans with my family or friends and then at the last minute just flake out because I’m having so much anxiety about having to pretend and I just want to be real and I can’t be…. Because my brain feels like it’s going to blow up.
I relate so much! I barely talk or see friends and family anymore because I disappoint in flaking all the time and I know it’s because of me , it makes me feel even more guilty and horrible
Prayers for you Ara!! AMENE
@@Cristina_504 prayers for you Cristina!! AMENE
She's gorgeous and has a beautiful personality
COMMENTS R BACK!
Each video Heartbreaking and tragic while at the same time very empowering necessary and useful, done with papable compassion and love.
Such a positive and powerful impact!
I just found this channel and I have binged about six or so videos...I have to many thoughts- to many feelings...
This is an amazing channel and an amazing person...
What a role model and inspiration!
Empathy and selflessness, beautiful.
I will again return
PS. Come on people now
smile on your brother
everybody get together
try to love one another right now,
right now... right now ✌️
I am diagnosed with bipolar too , its not easy specially for my family and friends , I am lucky to be supported by a loving husband and a kind family ♥️♥️
Sure you are
Im so grateful about this video! im in the process of being diagnosed with bipolar II, and i cried with relief after i saw it. i feel exactly this way and its like a weitgh out of my shoulders knowing that im not alone and having corage enough to talk about it. I'll be forever grateful for this chanel, idk if was God or destiny that made me stop here, but im full of love now, xoxo from Brazil 💕
My family is riddled with bipolar disorder. I am sure that I have it and I just recently spoke to my mom about and I am on the verge of going to see someone and hopefully get medicated. In life whenever something happens that is supposed to make me sad or depressed I get angry even well before I thought I was bipolar. So those depressive stages she is talking about when I go through them I am angry and snap on people but deep down I feel bad and end up distancing myself from them. It upsets me because I would like to be near those people but I know it is better off for me to be in my room so I don’t uncontrollably damage my relationship with people from my bipolar that I cannot handle. This video helped me a lot with accepting being medicated, I was very skeptical about it until she said the thing about diabetes and just giving your body what it needs to regulate your feelings. I think it is finally time because I am now loosing the control I once had over it and now it is starting to effect my relationships. My dad is the only bipolar person in my family who refuses to be medicated (out of 5 people) and I see the damage and distance he put on his relationships because of it. I hope they can help me
Your now Delivered from Ancestral!! AMENE!
Medication has helped my husband keep his bipolar anger & anxiety under control. It helped save our relationship & his relationship with our daughter. Getting help and finding the right medication is the best thing you can do for yourself and your loved ones.
You're a good spokes person for bipolar and seeking the help you require. This video will help so many others.
11:16 is how my mom put it and it really helped with my bipolar journey. I love this video. Thank you! ❤
I always wanted to say since the day I saw this video that she is so beautiful!
It is nice to have the comments back
I am so grateful for this interview. It helped me immensely.
Prayers for you Sarah.! AMENE
I love this video, one of my favorite. I struggle with anxiety and the way she described her symptoms have now encouraged me to seek more treatment. Thank you so much. ❤❤
Daisha. Prayers for you Amene!!
One thing I have always disliked is that people will say " you are bipolar." You wouldn't say to a person with cancer "you are cancer."
I agree! It felt defeating to be called depressed. The way we speak and think is very important. Changing speech and thought patters can be empowering.
I have bipolar 2 and she said alot of great things. I've experienced everything she mentioned. Not getting too sucked into the growing highs; needing to cancel alot and feeling bad about it; not wanting to burden people; buzzing inside during depression.
Thank you for sharing. It's comforting : )
Everyone on here is claiming they're bipolar you people have no idea just because you're happy one day and depressed the next doesn't mean you're bi-polar
@@midnightblackheart1821 Actually, the symptoms you mentioned can be a sign of rapid cycling bipolar disorder, which can cycle minute by minute or day by day. And there is such a thing as Bipolar 2, which is different from Bipolar 1.
I am Bipolar/BPD/GAD and I had a PTSD episode after ending a very toxic and abusive relationship, I totally relate to her in every moment.
PD: She's gorgeous :)
Mental illness isn’t real you have been brainwashed by society I explain it on my channel
Dude, you're basically a walking DSM. 😩
The laugh with her sister was adorable 💕
Sending so much love from Ghana ❤️❤️❤️
I relate so hard to this. There aren't words. Thank you for charing
thank you for sharing your experience and the way you deal with it, watching this video was the first time i actually understood something is wrong with me as well, she put to words stuff i could not, maing me understand that i probably had an issue. Went to the docs, and its final, i was diagnosed with Bipolar type II, and i use this video to show family and friends what i go trough, Thank you so much for being so brave and helping me and others win theyr batles :)
As someone with Bipolar Disorder, I relate so much to this video. Thank you for sharing it
Sure you do
Loved this one 🖤
Great explanation for the lows.
I will be 30 this month. I've known since I was 15 that something was different about me. But it wasn't until 2 or 3 years ago that I was diagnosed. I have type 1 bipolar with traits of bpd. I really appreciate this video, definitely helps me and makes me feel a little normal
Glad she found something that is helpful!
Regardless of her condition she is absolutely breathtaking and perfect
2:18 - Physical pain from heartbreak
6:10 - Very accepting.
7:40 - Friends.
I have bipolar type 2 and I resonate with everything thing she said. Thank you so much for talking about this!!! It's so important! I have a tattoo just like yours as well! ❤️
I love her personality she’s so cute

Being bipolar sucks
READ TILL LAST Hi there just kneel down where you are and cry and pray that's enough. WE HAVE A GOD WHO LISTENS OUR PRAYERS. PRAY WITH FAITH AND ITS A TYPE OF EVIL. GOD SAYS IN BIBLE IN MATTHEW 11. 28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. AND JESUS SAYS I WIL NOT GIVE YOU WHAT THE WORLD GIVES.BUT I WIL GIVE YOU MY PEACE. WHAT A GOD WE ARE HAVING. AND WAKE UP AT DAWN AND SPEND AND ONE HOUR WITH JESUS READ BIBLE AND PRAY AND THAT DAY WILL BE FULL OF PEACE . JUST CONTINUE THIS YOU WILL NOTICE A PEACE IN YOUR LIFE .JESUS LOVES YOU
Depression will come by evil sprit
I really love this channel
Pretty girl. Good to see her doing well. I had a gf back in the day that was bipolar, and it was extremely difficult. I think people underestimate how bad the depression phase can actually be.
I have this too, & it's so fantastic to feel less alone..& she's definitely on point. Especially w the reasons for canceling plans & physically feeling the depression thing, it's pretty bizarre so nobody understands y... U can tell she obviously really has this bcuz she's just SO dead on w everything. I just wanna scream "YAAAAAASSS girl!!! MEEEEE TOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
Holliday thanks so much for speaking about your bipolar rember it's a part of you not all of you thanks for sharing keep going one step at a time your wonderful just as you are keep taking your meds and going to theraphy happy you have a great support system
You're beautiful and you have a wonderful speaking voice! Very intelligent and articulate!
Agree she would be a great spokesperson for mental illness her friend was🤗🙏❤️ lovely
I'm sure Chris appreciates your comments
I have bipolar disorder too lol but I forget I have it sometimes also my emotions shift at random. I also get depressed sometimes but I've been dealing with it through my love ones supporting me mentally and I also do the same in return for them too 💕😊 I get a lot of anger issues too but I'm way better than I was years ago and I'm a mother to two baby boys, ones two years old and the other is two months old because of their sake, I'm working even more on keeping myself happy. Also my husband helps me gets me through it too 💖😊 we literally self treat ourselves using each other for love and inspiration.
God bless you! Every one of you!
I'm unmedicated with bipolar, ADHD and generalized anxiety disorder. I tend to think that my diagnoses aren't real. It's very interesting seeing this girl accept her diagnosis and understand it so well already. I've had my diagnoses for 15 years and I still don't understand it so well.
@Ego Master I dunno, I'm pretty good looking too, I bet I could trade my struggles for snuggles as well :P haha luckily boxing keeps my mind resilient enough to live mostly regularly.
If I didn't do boxing for medicine I'd still be coddled by a girlfriend, parents and the government. Collecting disability and very much not on the street. The biggest factor is the support system that an individual has rather than whether they are a female. I'm sure being cute helps though! Haha
Just because someone is open and vocal about these issues, never mean they understand and accept it fully. Women are more vocal about all issues than men. Understanding a disease takes a lifetime. Even more than that. Men can speak about these too. Just because one or two people not recognising it, doesn't mean society differentiates men and women regarding these issues. Another thing as a man, it is very difficult to understand emotional details. Women are damn good in that. That's biological. However, men have their own advantage. There is so much to this subject. We can't judge easily about these and conclude anything soon. We need to be observant. Very observant about our own self that helps.
If you're not on medication then I doubt you're bipolar because it's a serious life long illness and can't go untreated
I was diagnosed yesterday. Thank you for sharing ❤️🤗
Sure you were
Hey girl. Forgive me my weakness but I don't know why
without you it's hard to survive. Need you by my side. You make me rise when I fall. Take care.
One of the problems with bipolar is when I am in a manic episode, I will be very open about my bipolar to others when I probably shouldn’t be, since there is still a lot of stigma against mental illness.
It took me 35 years of life to even realise I had bipolar II and some more years to accept I needed treatment and about 10 years to start to really feeling reasonably stable. It was a long journey. There's always a way of getting better, *never* give up.
She is so pretty
She looks amazing
Very inspirational.
she's beautiful ❤️
I have Misophonia and you should really make a video about that🙊😘it's an unheard disease, and it needs to raise awareness, so I'd appreciate it so much! 💙🎁
YES Noise is my enemy, bass is the worst for me
I can completely relate too all this got your back sis
My name is Seth, I am twenty years old, and I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder aswell. I have had times of severe rage and depression. It is fearful sometimes to think where that could lead, but I do not dwell on it. I have the proper medication and went to therapy that I really do not think was the best kind for me. I have found the best way to deal with it, and it helps extremely well. I desire to be around people, but I am also an introvert. I have some social anxiety. I do not like being out in public at crowded places like Wal-Mart. I do enjoy talking with some folks that I met through Twitch on Discord, but for the most part, I enjoy my solitude. I desire to oneday have my own family, but I feel sometimes, as if, that can be a complicated thing. I desire to have a wife of my own someday. Someone, that I can give myself completely to and vise versa. At the moment, I do feel really immature for my age. I want to change that about myself, not only I want to be the best I can be for the people I love, but because I do not like it. I do not let the circumstances of my life control me, and I have chosen the best course for my life, and it helps for sure.
Same. Can we talk?
I was just diagnosed with Bipolar 2.
I feel a bit jealous seeing how much support she have. ofc im happy about it but i just with i had that.
it would be like a dream life having supportive people around im my family or at least have actual friends.
i have bipolar adhd epilepsy and schizophrenia i hope i could be on here one day telling my story it would be an honor
What’s that like? What are the upsides and downsides ?
Wow she is so beautiful 💖
I've had bipolar since i was 12 im middle aged n a personally disorder ive never had friends never fitted in try to take my life so many times its a bonus iff i leave my house one time every 6 months i have highs ive been in mental hospals al my life i cant relate to this girl she seems ok im from uk 👈
I had bipolar disorder and prayed to God to heal me and I have been healed for 3+ years now. God bless you all and your family's ❤
Holliday is cute, she's really beautiful, but, in every way, outwardly and inwardly. If circumstances were different I WOULD ask her for a date, EVEN WITH every aspect to her, I would love to enjoy the honour of having Holliday in my life. I love her personality, her laugh, her wicked sense of humour, and being who I am, I would be there for her through thick and thin. I TRULY HOPE that she finds the man of her dreams and that he lives up to her expectations, hopes and wishes. Holliday is a little firecracker and any decent, patient and understanding man that she opens up her life to, would surely be blessed by a truly special lady!
I would have loved to have met Holliday, I'm sure my life would have been truly enlightened 😊, I wish her all the very best that life can offer her deservedly so...
😎🇬🇧
Huh! I can relate so much to this! I wonder why!
Sweet sister and friend
I have bipolar II, I was mentally answering the questions asked.. our answers were exactly the same. It’s comforting how relatable this was. Makes me feel less “crazy” lol
Sure you do everyone on here is claiming to be bipolar just because you're happy one day and depressed the next doesn't mean you're bipolar
And having the illness doesn't mean you're crazy
@@midnightblackheart1821 umm what lol
Support!
OH..God..She's so pretty 😍
People please understand this disease is debilitating and with medications it can make you feel better but it still doesn't cure it sometimes no matter what you do to feel better is very difficult to do at times this disease effects your thinking all the time
Yup, it’s a horrible illness to live with. Struggling everyday.
Should dedicate 2 videos to her, one when in hypomania and other in deep depression.
ADHD Bipolar type 2 and aniexty disorder here. It's constantly winning. You don't win with a month long low mood. It's going to take me this year i can just feel it.
Beautiful
Holliday you are so so so pretty :)
I have (among other diagnosis) BPD & I struggle with Logic & Emotion. Emotion is not always healthy, especially when I have major impulse control 😳🥴
She looks beautiful like Snow white and is so smart-its amazing,that she can joke about it....ITS very good!
I have bipolar disorder and I can relate
such a beautiful women inside and out! im a 34 year old diagnosed with persistent depressive disorder. i tend to isolate myself at my lowest times. extremely hard being married and with a 4 year old!
God she looks so good
Such a beautiful woman
When she said they even laugh the same and then proceeded to laugh the exact same lmao so cute 🥰
Shes so gorgeous 😍 😍
I wish she would see this and reply 🥺
I once dared, and married a man who was bipolar but never shared that with me. Three days after we married he said he had made a bad decision, it devastated my life
I'm so sorry to hear that I hope you are doing well
You are so cute and deserve best people
Hello my names mia and I’m 13 I got diagnosed with bipolar type 1 a few years ago when I was younger I have had a lot of manic episodes and depressive episodes as well has hallucination episodes where I see and hear things it’s really hard for me and I actually just got blood drawn yesterday at children’s hospital so that they could check if my meds were still working and I’ve been able to manage it really well the only thing I will say is that with my bipolar I have trouble with my anger and frustration since it is a behavior disorder and and fight with friends and family a lot it’s been hard and still is hard I hope whoever sees this and struggles with this is managing it ok 😇
Thanks!
I have manic bipolar with sensory issue . I can relate
