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.
I not sure you've heard of this. It where you obsess about the future instead of enjoying moments is the present.
I learned of it this morning when I called a talk line. I've been experiencing a terrible bout of depression. It feels almost as the big nervous breakdown I had a few years ago. I got all worked up getting very anxious and scared. I have always been a worry wart. The lady I spoke to was very compassionate. I told her how I was feeling and she told me about future tripping. She talked about how I was worrying about things that haven't happened. We then talked about self care and ways to stay in the now.
It will be hard to unlearn something I've done most of my life but l'm working on it.

She said "you get all worked up about something that never even happened". I had to learn to push those thoughts out of my head because they were pointless and they were hurting me.
Worrying about the future doesn't do anyone any good, And worrying about it will not make it change for the better.
Hugs to you!
It got so bad I would break up with him out of the blue because I couldn't bare the thought of breaking up! It's silly in hindsight. Tough to control though.
Mindfulness and meditation are fantastic ways to bring yourself back to the 'here and now'
I always keep that in mind...because I wander off into the past or future.
