Hi again @Jacques on your post 🙂

I was scrolling through your messages on this post, and i know i haven't commented before, and it is purely because i haven't been able to be in the right headspace to write comments to nearly anyone.... I have bipolar, and the last probably 4 weeks i have been in a pretty heavy depressive cycle.

I see a fair bit of what i go through in what you have written, currently i get fairly anxious regarding going out of the house, i try and go walking with a friend twice a week when possible, other days i will just drive around aimlessly for an hour or so.

What i have found that helps me a little bit, like it has been mentioned already is mindfullness, i have also found Cognitive Behaviour therapy helpful, when i get manic, i listen to music to calm me down, when depressed, i try music to pick me up, when i need to or feel overwhelmed i write, sometimes here, if it's seems too much for here, i write in my journal, write until nothing else comes out, i find that helps, and then reading it the next day, it sometimes sheds light on what i am struggling with.

hope to keep seeing you around
