Med Therapy Supports
Fortunately my moods have stabilized. At least enough to feel more able to reenter the world. Enough to open me up to the benefits that might be achieved if I made the attempt to support the med therapy by focusing on behaviour changes and coping techniques. If I couldn’t fully recover I could at least learn how to cope so that the symptoms would own me less.
Among the bag of coping skills that I have collected are things like spiritual ceremonies (prayer, cleansing, renewal, affirmations), meditation and relaxation techniques, singing, positive messaging, focused breathing, reality checks, thought reframing, tapping… anything that might slow me down, settle the racy thoughts, loosen anxiety, lift me up, strengthen my will… anything and everything that others have experience or research supports can reduce the effects of symptoms and even get free of major symptom outbreaks. Techniques that can empower a person enough to get back into life.
