want to catch it quickly
Do some form of exercise. I go for long walks. And avoid watching the news if it’s bringing you down.
Thanks!!! I was able to laugh lots just now… my kids are hilarious… cleaning now. I feel so much better. Mood swings! But it’s all good.
Yes, I get those mood swings too. They call me a rapid cycler. The doctors aren’t sure what to do with me sometimes.
" I feel so much better. Mood swings! But it’s all good."
Good to hear.

I have bipolar but haven’t had a strong episode of mania since 2015 I do feel like I’m rapid cycling.
keep busy , do nt give your brain time to think 👍
I've been struggling myself recently. I went to a yoga class where she did this extra long shavasana ... 5 min and i think it really helped.
Practicing acceptance. I already felt it and processed why I was depressed or why I thought I was at least and exercised a lot and I feel good. Thanks. How are you doing?
Good to hear!
Sorry about your "black dog", Starrlight. Spare a thought for me - Tuesday I just got what I think is a new compression fracture and now I can't move without excruciating pain. My partner is being a pig - calling me lazy and other nasty things, apart from not helping. I believe it is only the pregabalin that is keeping me sane. If you could tick off a lot of things on your "to do" list, I'm sure you will soon feel better. 🤗
I’m sorry to hear of your partner is verbally abusing you. There is no excuse. Treat yourself well. Ignore anything else. (((((((((((((Healing vibes)))))))))))))
Thanks for your support, Starr. He is treating me a little bit better today. He seems to have forgotten what he roared at me: lazy, lacking moral fibre, sitting in my chair like a great slug, blaming everyone else. I just looked at him with no emotion and said I would remember what he had said. He had just had something to eat, so unless his sugar was high, there seemed no reason for his outburst. I heard him telling the nurse how he could hear me banging around upstairs and when he came up, found me struggling to dress but he didn't say anything about asking how he could help. So I think the nurse has got the picture. The pregabalin seem to be helping me to see things and react to things objectively and not get involved in an argument (I don't even feel anything afterwards). I received my prescription of Tramadol this morning. It's a little help, and he has started to do one or two things around the house that I can't do. I'm afraid sorry isn't in his narcissistic vocabulary. Unfortunately, I am in so much pain that I can't look after myself very well. Hopefully the new drugs will help me get around. I've just had a lovely cup of cappuccino - can just about manage that, putting out some daily recycling while I wait for the first dash of hot water to do its thing. If I can stand up long enough I will make some lunch. Thanks so much for your healing vibes; I seem not to be able to help anyone at the moment.🤗
You know I think I’ve been more on the manic side these days too. I’ve noticed I’ve been spending more money. I need to watch it!!! Maybe it’s an end of summer thing. The weather is beautiful where I live right now. I don’t want winter to come. I like the Fall season but I become very depressed in the Winter.
I love and welcome all the seasons. Each one is special, but yes Winter can be difficult for many. Enjoy the day! It’s beautiful here too 🌞
