Top Comments of this video!! :3
I found it interesting of how she mentioned ppl love a manic woman when they're getting something out of it, but as soon as she's dealing with internal stuff the word becomes weaponized against her. I'm astonished that she was able to put this into words. The concept of this is prevalent in the music industry, and should be addressed more in the media.

I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder whenever I was 13. At times, I didn't expect to live past 20 because of suicidal thoughts. My family was abusive and I didn't have any allies when it came to my bisexuality as a teen. But, I'm here to say that if you just KEEP GOING, everything will be okay if you're actually trying to better your life. I am now 21 with a family of my own. I have my own house, and I just want to see everyone be successful in life. Halsey, thank you so much for getting this message out. ILY <3

I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when I was 17. I had suffered from suicidal depression when I was 16 and had to drop out boarding school. At that time, I didn't know that I had a mental illness, everyone (my parents, teachers and friends) blamed me for causing my depression. I was quite a high achieving and responsible student. And everyone was shocked when I had to drop school. They told me that my negative thinking and my weakness had caused my depression. After I dropped out, my parents took me traveling hoping that it would remove my suicidal thoughts and depression. It kinda worked and by next year when I rejoined a new school my depression had turned to hypomania and finally full blown mania. Hypomania was my happy, bubbly phase. But full blown mania made me go crazy and I was taken to a psychiatrist and had to take a few months off from school. After I realised what had happened to me I became suicidal again. Well long story short, I soon came to accept my bipolar diagnosis and it gave me relief to know that my condition has a name and that there are other people who lived with it. I completed school successfully and got a scholarship to a colledge abroad. Now Im almost 20 and my first year of colledge is almost over. I take bipolar medications but I still go through slight highs and lows. Sometimes when I am low I feel like I may not live past 20. But I patiently wait for this low phase to pass. I resonated with every single thing Halsey said. I have had the same fears too. I am so happy more people are talking about mental illness and destigmatizing it. I hope my story has helped someone and made them feel not alone in what they are going through. My greatest desire is to earn money by doing something I love - Youtube, dancing, singing, drawing or acting. Buy a big house with a big garden and live in the country side and get married to someone I love and who accepts my health condition and have a family and raise kids. I just want a peaceful, comfortable and fullfilled life! Sending love to you all🤗❤
My thumb is litterally aching from how much I have typed😅 If you read upto here, thankyou☀💞

Halsey - using your fame and platform to be a mental heal advocate means so much to me, and I’m sure to many. What you said about mental health being a journey and one where you need to constantly maintain it is true - and when you think about it, the same can be said about physical health too - you have to constantly maintain your physical health as well.
I’m someone who struggles with BPD and I’m thankful to have you share your story.

I am so touched that so many people have found likeness in this discussion about mental health. Please remember it’s important to seek professional advice. Bipolar disorder is very complex, and self diagnosis could rob you of a more specific and helpful diagnosis.
