What helps you stay grounded in the moment?

When my Bipolar disorder feels overwhelming, I remind myself it’s time for self care. Walking in the sunshine, breathing fresh air, playing with my dogs, or eating really delicious food. Whatever I love, I do that.

What is one small habit that makes a difference with your bipolar disorder?

Taking medications directed by my Psychiatrist daily help the highs and lows stay to a minimum. I also take the time to rest a little extra as needed.

What are you proud of lately?

I’m really proud of connecting with new people in my community and getting outside my comfort zone. Also building a stronger spiritual and physical me!

What does bipolar progress mean to you?

It means small steps. I now set goals with realistic expectations in mind knowing some days might be tough. It also means reaching out for help if needed, and making peace with this disorder.
