Dealing with a bipolar disorder downswing? I guess we have to expect downswings if we have bipolar disorder. Life constantly surprises me. Human nature surprises me. A positive attitude about life keeps me going and it also helps me spot depression.
– Crying a bit too much over a TV series.
– Feeling free floating fear when nothing is wrong.
– Waking up at 2:00 AM with no ability to get back to sleep.
All of this reminds me that depression is made up of many symptoms. My goal is to go to bed feeling better than when I woke up. Join me! I’m going to use my plan today – the one in my books- to keep myself stable and happy.
Depression arrives, but it doesn’t have to stay. My first step- getting up, getting out and getting things done. I’ll keep you posted.
What about you? If you’re depressed, what can you do right now to budge your mood towards stability?
What can we all do to focus on what’s right in the world?
