I have read online that it is helpful to keep a daily log of all your thoughts and emotions and review them when you are feeling better. Feel free to share tips everyone, thank you!
I have heard of this too. My therapist says the thought just eats away at us and drives us. I recently went through this while I was on the treadmill.

I kept saying, Im tired, why am I doing this, youre not losing any weight, just stop now.

Then another voice was saying, Keep going you can do this, SHUT UP AND DO IT.

I was literally fighting with myself, it was nuts.

Its really hard. Being bipolar and just with a way Im used to thinking, im getting into to the habit of shutting out the negative voice and just DOING it. Doing what I gotta do.
