Let`s talk about Bipolar

@bipolarbunny

Hi @Mazarita I hope you're OK whether you had your walk or not. There can be a big build up of stress and anticipation before something we haven't attempted for a long time even if it's something we're actually looking forward to. I think that's one reason I procrastinate so much, although social anxiety comes into it too. I'm really proud of you for making your plans and it's great that you got to your mountain view the other day.

Sending you good vibes and affirmation that you'll achieve it when you're ready - and best wishes for a more restful night tonight.

Hey @Shaz51 @Bunniekins @Dimity @Mazarita @HenryX @Daisydreamer @LostAngel @Former-Member @Oaktree @Appleblossom

Been a big week on the forums for me so I'm going to have a break tomorrow & maybe Saturday to recharge. Just a heads up in case you tag me in something and I don't respond right away. All is well, just wanted to take a few quiet days to do some writing and self care. Hope you all have a magical Friday, love you guys so much! Big hugs xx

Hello Ladies

I was up to 3 with son talking. It is better to be with him than not ... so a slow start today ....Hope you are doing alright ...

@Mazarita One of the important things that helped me, was being able to savour the good feeling of my more "jubilant" moments, without discounting the feelings, but going carefully with the unrealistic thoughts and expectations that might have been generated .... it was just good to feel those things after many years when I never thought it possible ...

In my low times, curled in foetal ... it is good to recall those moments and let them fill me with warmth .... when I could think of it ....and bring those feelings to mind ... but it is never automatic ... there is a lost of acceptance ... of just where we are at ...

Def Dont push yourself .... we are getting past the age we need to prove anything to anyone .... older and wiser ... we know the fall out ... of pushing past our physical limitations .... we only need to do that when it is absolutley essential.

Hey everyone

@Bunniekins @Mazarita @Shaz51 @Appleblossom @Oaktree @Dimity @HenryX @StuF and anyone I've missed who is passing through.

I know Pea & Maz had rough nights, so sending big warm hugs to you both xx

How is everyone else travelling?

I'm absolutely beat today. It's been the coldest & wettest winter I've known down south and even though I have handled my depression during it better this year than most years I'm still sick of it and exhausted. I cannot wait to feel the manic energy of summer back again. But I am thankful my meds have kept me out of self sabotage & SI territory so that's something. I'm also glad my mum's foot is healing so now I don't have to be at her beck and call. She can get her own damn lunch that she barely eats. Ugh sorry guys, I'm feeling a little whingey today.

Anyway hope you are all travelling okay and even if you're not, you can find a little spark of magic in the gloom. That's what I'll be chasing today. Big hugs xx
