I have a grounding box, so usually I'll just get something out of that box, hold it in my hands, and try and focus on it.

ocasionally I'll just have what I like to call blackouts, which is when it gets so bad I just shut down... I am still alive and breathing, but unable to function- from a distance it looks like I am ignoring you, I'm not, I just can't.... uh, react to anything

imagine it like... an emotional coma. that's it- because my physical body is perfectly here and alive, but I'm not at the same time..

question:

do you think you are making good progress in your bipolar treatment?

why or why not
