Well, I woke up depressed, so I’m going to do every single thing possible to make sure I have a good day.
I will read:
Donald Trump: Never Give Up
I will be with friends: I can call or set up times to see them.
I WILL appreciate the fact that my mom lives close by and I can see her. I am so lucky and I know it.
I can play with my mom’s puppy- her name is Cookie and she is an amazing depression buster!
and of course,,, I will remind myself all day that this is an illness and that nothing has changed in my life. I’m depressed because I have bipolar disorder.
It will get better as long as I keep moving forward.

Hang in there, Julie! This, too, shall pass…
You know what else helps me – therapeutic massage. I was just introduced to this a week and a half ago – the gal who does this is really, really great. Lots of experience, knowledgeable about bipolar disorder, works in conjunction with a therapist that I see. She does something called craniosacral work and I find it very helpful in reducing stress.
Have you taken a walk yet today?
You’ll be fine, just be patient with yourself and know the emotions are the bipolar talking. Talk back!
Hugs to you,
