Bipolar

Bipolar

I have suffered with bipolar for almost 20 years and almost no one knows. This week has been hard listening to other people's stories. Today I spent the afternoon at Melbourne zoo with my 19 year old daughter. What a balm for the soul. There is always a bigger picture. Hopefully there is always someone who gets you and knows how to bring you joy.. What a hard week with a beautiful finish. I feel blessed- and that doesn't come often.

Getting close to nature is always good for the "soul"....
Have been thinking of getting to Sydney soon to go to Zoo there with my camera....

Hi @Kylieo

I'm so glad you found an activity that improved your week.

What other tips would you give people to manage tough weeks?

Maybe just a walk on the beach on a sunny day....a hot chocolate on a cold....
Hot showers or better just lay in the bath with your magazine or paper and suck on a paddle pop....why be normal... That's boring ;-))



Meditation watching clouds in the sky ....stars at night and howling at the moon...not recommended when the neighbours are looking
Playing a harmonica ( they are small just put in the glove box or in your pocket
Some music is very relaxing usually light classical though some abstract modern is good to
