What “tools” should I use for my Bipolar

I find gratitude to be my biggest tool...… If I am feeling grateful I never feel 'as bad' if that makes sense

So if things are feeling pretty bleak I think of things to be grateful for.... It may be a cup of coffee.... God's love...… a nice sunny day..... a warm blanket at night, a doctor that helps me....etc


Exercise can help get rid of tension...… Mindfulness/meditation can help with anxiety....xo

All of the above mentioned by Suncloud and in addition I would say for myself personally that I am working on being able to sit still and pray when I am tempted to act out. The ability to stop trying to control things and people around me in order to assuage the pain I'm feeling inside.

Its kind of a vague question...what are you looking for help with, memory? stress? dealing with others? etc. There are many tools for all kinds of situations and depending on what your looking to accomplish there are great ones that work well....got any specific ideas of what you're looking for?

    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.
