Hi, I'm a person with the lived experience/diagnosis of bipolar 1, been diagnosed for a few years now.
3 interests are podcasts, walking, and movies.
Look forward to reading other peoples stories, and offering some help when I can, as I'm in a stable enough place right now
The lockdown threads have been good already. Cheers!

It is vital to have daily activities to keep occupied and sane, I do shopping, grave visits, repairs to my apartment, piano practice, exercise....

Hello @JungleGiants and welcome. It will be good to hear your experiences and contributions. I'll tag you into one of the bipolar threads. There are also quite a few social threads as you'll discover.
Maybe you could start a thread sharing podcasts - I listen to some and am always keen to add more. There's also a thread on walking for wellness which has been a bit quiet lately.
Looking forward to seeing you around
Dimity

Hi @Shaz51 going well, had a lovely beach walk, which was a change from my usual routine. cooked burgers, watched the latest Brooklyn 99 episodes on SBS demand, and will do some reading before bed. Just a crazy time 
How are you? Watching anything good lately?
