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'm having to switch therapist for two reasons one because my last one made me feel soooo bad about myself it wasn't helping, and second because I can't afford it anymore. I really hate talking to new therapist my anxiety gets way worse. Any tips on how to calm my anxiety even with my medication doesn't seem like enough.
thanks, Kayla x

I struggle with anxiety. Some of the different things that have helped me are breathing techniques, yoga, a warm bath and general self-care practices. Getting a good nights sleep, keeping caffeine to a manageable level, keeping healthy boundaries from stressful relationships or people that are in your life.
Hope the rest of the weekend is relaxing for you!
– taking a deep breath in and then when I breathe out I say the word "let go" and then "limp" as I scan my body from head to toe and relax all my muscles that feel tense so I feel completely relaxed and sinking into the mattress. I do this lying down.
– I also find floating in a warm pool very relaxing especially if it's outside, like a hot spring pool. But of course, we can't do that every day. I am hoping to get a therapy pool and put it in the garage this summer or next summer.
