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 went to work today - and work went well. I worked fast
and efficiently - got a lot done. Left on a high note.
I came home and changed and made a meal. Then went for a walk
to the coffee shop - took some pictures along the way. Stopped by
the Ralphs (market) and bank on the way walking back.
I felt the focus and the inspiration to go for that walk again, as I did yesterday,
not just to get some exercise but to be around people. I wanted to do that - and
it was a fruitful thing to do.
Now that I came back home, I am finding it harder and harder to find things to keep
doing. What I mean by that is that, I don't want to watch tv. It's boring and it's passive -
not really 'about' what I want to do. What is it that I want to do?? I find myself in one
of these super indicisive states - and my mind is kind of torturing me a bit with invasive,
disturbing thoughts.
Does this happen to anyone else??
It's not a new phenomenon for me - but in the spirit of trying to grow and be more effective
about life - it has me struggling kind of - but not too badly - after a swift and good morning.
I think perhaps it's part of the "whole pizza pie" of what it means to be me.
I'd like to offer more to the world than just hanging low after work.
Anyways, it's possibly something to overcome.
peace,
Mark

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
Maybe find a craft or hobbie? Some people like adult coloring books. Color detailed patterns? Maybe if you color a nice pattern, have it framed and hung on the wall? Just a thought.
Maybe try to find a hobbie that you an do in your place. Painting? Water colors? Dunno.
Two things I done relate to my mental health. I have a blog concentrating on my kidney health...no one responds, but lots of people read...nearly 4.500 since July.
I started a POA plan organize action group about a year ago on DS, only a few responded...then I left ds, came back, changed POA to What Do You Want...again, few people respond. I'm using mainly for a daily blog about trying to crate a routine, change my behaviors to create healthier lifestyle..habits...people come by and read like the other blog...fine...I'll have a record of what I'm doing, where I need help, and a final direction of a 'daily routine' that will help me mentally and physically.
Colouring or art can interrupt the intrusive thought since it uses both sides of the brain.... I think a hobby 'sounds' like a great idea
Big hug.....xo
and especially with dogs, but also a lot of cats, the unconditional love you get back is very fulfilling. i would recommend a rescue animal. i've had two rescue pups, and they seem to love a bit deeper, once the bond and trust is there.
