Hiding in my bed, regardless of whether I'm tired or not.

Prayer, breathing, getting in bed.

When really unwell, I cling quite a bit to my husband and psychiatrist. They are my rocks.

It's good for me to "lay low" when I'm getting manic or mixed. That's hard, in many ways, but I must not fuel the fire. When depressed, I do still lay low, but also try to get out or do something at home that is a simple/small pleasure.

I used to also depend on the companionship of my pet parrot. We lost him some months ago. It was just horrible! Horrible!

If things aren't too bad, I pamper myself with a date night, and am able to do a little (light) shopping therapy, for short bursts.

Cooking helps---baking helps even more.

When things get really dark, though, I head for bed. I let people near me know I'm not doing well, and that I won't available for a while.

I'm the same way. When things aren't that bad, I can get into my hobbies. When it's really tough, I just have to sleep. (((safe hugs)))

food - it literally depends on what I want.

music - to ground myself I listen to jazz, blue grass, folk, and positive but not too peppy music. Or sometimes I'll go with more melancholy emo and indie.

activity - I don't really know anymore. I should REALLY journal about this. I used to really like to knit, but I've been in a little bit of a lull lately with that. Maybe walking and reading. I'm definitely a renaissance woman so it's not just one thing.

memory - hmm...on a related note, looking at old photographs from my childhood is so fun. I have quite a few positive memories but I don't really want to share them, because 1.) privacy, but 2.) I literally haven't taken a trip down memory lane in so long. I'd need to take some time to think.

Good thread.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
