Let`s talk about Bipolar

hello @Kermit

come and meet some great members @Former-Member , @Former-Member , @HenryX , @Dimity , @NewbieBipolar , @frog , @Mazarita , @eth , @Olga

Thanks for the welcome to this thread! I'll do some exploring.....

Selfcare for mental health issues is vital....wake up in the morning and say to myself, I am going to manage my issues, my issues will not manage me.

I need to keep up my selfcare everyday, because got no one to do it for me. So motivation and positive thinking is vital for my survival.

Glad you're giving yourselves TLC @NewbieBipolar @Owen45 . I think it's a bit like meditation - the success is in the returning, not in not falling off the path. Goal setting and getting outside help me, and cooking a healthy main meal. I put that into practice today. Later I'll listen to a favourite BBC podcast.

I'm trying to negotiate lockdown etiquette. I had a bubble buddy during the long lockdown last year but this time I've only had intermittent phone and sms contact. I've been procrastinating (phobic?) for ages re setting up my new laptop and a workspace.

Tomorrow's a new day and I hope it's a good one for us all.

Chèers,

Dimity

Hello @Lyra_reachout 😀❤☕☕

Hello @Dimity , @Owen45 , @Kermit , @NewbieBipolar , @HenryX

Hoping you all have a good day xx

@Dimity it's good to hear your self care ideas thanks. I love to eat well when I'm feeling good and when I crash I eat what ever is in front of me even though I know it makes me feel worse.

what's the podcast? I'm UK originally and love to listen to BBC things!

I hope you figure out your buddy bubbe situation, it's tricky I'm sure.

I hope your work Space goes ok. It's lovely to have your own space!

You too @Shaz51

Om online study this morning and hopes to do more assessments this afternoon but I think I need some me time!
