Something’s not right

Really wobbly

Really wobbly

Any advice and suggestions about how to stay grounded and do self care much appreciated. I have some big stressors in my life right now. That combined with Bipolar 1 and Anxiety is really knocking me around. Trying to sell home as result of marriage breakdown, pay debts, find new home. My daughter (who is my main support) is leaving home (can't blame her). I have a young son to look after and I'm trying to protect him from the strain of the situation. All this is coming off the back of a mixed episode, which has recently been replaced by plumetting mood and skyrocketing anxiety. I am teary and on the verge of panic and need to talk myself down - there's noone else to do it. The future is scaring me.

Thank you @outlander @Faith-and-Hope @soul. Hearing from you helps. I am having a hard time, but also trying not to catastrophise and assume this is the start of an episode. One foot after the other. Hope today's been kind to you and you sleep tonight

Would it help to play gentle music through earbuds / headphone to divide your attention from the racing thoughts ?

Hi @Faith-and-Hope thanks for checking in. I'm ok. Better than this morning. I've tried to keep my body busy, which for some reason slows down my mind. This is a challenge when sitting at a desk for long stretches as i wil be tomorrow. How has your day been?
