hi bunny, welcome, i'm new here too but it's already helped me so much. people here have good advice and help.

are you recently diagnosed? what are you going through specifically symptoms if you care to share? i'm having some hypomania right now, for example racing thoughts and insomnia. the way i'm dealing with it right now is by trying to just notice my thoughts, and thinking to myself - ok so my thoughts are racing and i cant fall asleep, it's uncomfortable and i dont like it, but it will pass, i should try some breathing exercises, or maybe i should do some middle of the night yoga. so basically i guess i'm trying to calm myself and trying to stay away from catastrophic thinking, etc. and i'm glad i'm at home and safe.

my advice is don't ever give up, learn as much as you can about bipolar, and be kind and nurturing to yourself. i'm recently diagnosed earlier this year so still so much to learn for me. hope some of this might help, hang in there
