Usually when I am hypo, I can get them out pretty fast and clearly, but when I am actually stable (somewhat), everything is muddled inside my head. The thoughts are there, but I can't seem to string them together into one cohesive ANYTHING! So, I sit there with all of these great ideas swimming in my head and I can't tune in to them. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with meds, but do any of you have any tips to tap into your creative energy? I feel like my brain is going to atrophy just sitting here staring at the tube. A little help?  |
Wow, you sound EXACTLY like my husband. His creativity is writing poetry. He's excellent at it and only when he's hypomanic (although he would not admit he is ADHD and bipolar-told to him by two doctors). His hypomanic times scare mo though. Its as though he's a stranger. Help from anyone who knows some tricks to stop triggers? How do you know what the triggers are???
