Isn't it great to know what makes you feel better! :)

Did my nails this morning, lol - I Wish Revlon had a "top speed" in black cherry here, sigh. :P

"Outside" is a great cheerer-upper for me; just Being, in the middle of it :)

Music makes me feel Great; lots of that.

I may love writing, but I feel Better when I wander around the house and clean something Really well, or work on a craft project of some sort - cheers me right up!

what really makes me feel better is watching baseball. being with my mom and/or sister. and my dog has helped me through some really hard times. i like painting my toes too :)

Singing all yr favourite songs then having a break to have a cuppa tea and swear at the TV

Bliss

Fighting a downer over here too. The lower I get the harder it is to WANT to fight it.

Took a shower because it was time to take a shower.

Cooked supper but didn't have any appetite to eat.

Balanced the checkbook, cleaned the house....meh.

I just kind of ride it out until it passes. I will be back at work tomorrow with the three babies. When I am forced to be physical I feel better mentally.

Sorry, Tats. I do believe if I could MAKE myself exercise I could avoid some of this bluck!!!!

Standing on one leg, hopping, squinting...and masturbating to the Great Wall Of China

Funny tats69, I was thinking of putting up a post--but only asking for suggestions. I have been in a bad "bipolar depression" according to my pdoc.

I have been going to work (I am not sure if this makes me feel better--but it does make me put forth mental effort to think of something other than how sh*tty I feel).

I saw my pdoc today and am getting a med tweek.

I think I am going to try a self manicure and a pedicure. My paws look ratty and getting rid of peeling polish and filing the claws would even make me feel better.

I am going swimming soon. I haven't exercised at all in 3 weeks to speak of (due to this depressive cycle)

I am new to this group. But I have been living with the knowledge I am bipolar since 2001. I have been through some severe ups and downs. All I can say is keep doing what you are doing for yourself all these little things make the downs easier to deal with. I hope you are seeing someone to get help and consueling. I found these were great helps for me. The only advise I have is find someone you feel very trusting and safe with. It made it alot easier for me once I found someone I was very comfortable with.

I was just outside watching a big garden spider weave her web.

Then along comes a Hummingbird.
Just watching nature, even from my own little back yard ,, makes me feel better.

, Coming on to DS and sending hugs to people who are feeling down..I try to cheer them up, I feel like I am giving back , the love , so many people have given me.

Mine is about identical to Mush's

Thanks for the support guys....appreciated.

Funny how such little things like painting finger and toe nails can make ya feel better.

I worked out with Will yesterday in our new little basement gym too....felt a actual surge of energy afterwards......felt like my hypomania was coming back round!!! lol

Did you guys know that the YMCA's have what they call "financial scholarships" that let you base your payment on what you make a month. NICE!! Checking in to that today because they have that pool that's been calling my name!
