Is This Bipolar... Or Just a Really Bad Day?

Is this bipolar disorder, or just a really bad day? Living with bipolar means it's not always easy to tell the difference. In this video, I share a real day in my life while dealing with stress, illness, dizziness, and the fear that it could trigger bipolar symptoms. After living with bipolar 1 for 27 years, I've learned that major life changes, health problems, and stress can sometimes lead to mania, hypomania, a mixed episode, or depression. But sometimes they're just really difficult days, and knowing the difference isn't always possible. This is an honest look at what living with bipolar disorder is really like when life gets overwhelming. If you've ever questioned whether you're going to experience bipolar symptoms while struggling through a hard time, I hope this video helps you feel less alone. -Jess CONNECT WITH ME 💚 Instagram:   / ourbipolar   👋🏼 Facebook:   / ourbipolar   💻 Blog: https://ourbipolar.com 00:00 Is this bipolar or just a really bad day? 01:03 A hard day I can’t fully explain 01:37 Health issues affecting bipolar 02:48 Bipolar triggers 04:42 Is a bipolar episode starting? 06:05 Outro #BipolarDisorder #Bipolar #MentalHealth #BipolarAwareness #MentalHealthAwareness #Mania #Depression
