Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
my Dr. recommended to me that I write a 'worry journal' today.
He said doing that can be used to have a place where I put my worries -
recognize them - and set a boundary with them. We all may have a lot of worries during the day - but we all need to stay focused on what we need to do too. So he said you can list your worries in one place and then shift on to work after devoting only so much time to them. In other words you can set a limit with them. I think what I am realizing too is that I am recognizing
what I am actually worrying about - which gives me the vision to choose not to worry about stuff that might have been an automatic go to for myself before.
It seems like a really helpful thing. I hope you guys find this useful!
Peace,
MM
